Forum issues and Upgrade

That would be 11PM Mountain time? In any event, good luck with the conversion Nathan. Hope all your hard work this week results in a smooth upgrade.

Correct MST. In about seven more hours.

The only reason they actually have MST is so Dave can sleep in every day....

Actually, the real reason for MST is so that TV shows will come on an hour earlier than on the East or West coast.

nathan , clicking around things if you were to make the certifications drop down twice as wide it would mean all the separate articles would be on one line

Increase the width of the popups for the Specs and Certifications from 200px to 300px. Will need to refresh (F5) to see these changes.

The marked solved button is a nice addition. Thanks for adding that.

My pleasure, it still needs some work, but it's a good first start.

Unless I'm missing it, we seem to have lost the button to change the color of text in posts.

I removed this setting while adjusting what BBC codes were visible. I couldn't come up with valid reasons in my mind why people would need to change the color of their text / glow their text. I thought more people would abuse this then use it for any valid reason. As always I can change this if the community feels otherwise.

Patio and I have been using it to highlight certain sections in instructional posts - but I'm sure I can learn to live without it

It might work, if you removed the buttons, but kept the bbcode functional- or only (if possible) show the buttons for certain membergroups. (I find that it is mostly newer members who like to smash the glow and color buttons)

I completely agree with that.

I would like to see the text color and glow options restored.  They can simply be a way of highlighting or emphasizing certain text, particularly when quoting someone.  I realized quoting alone accomplishes the quoting but using glow or changing text color on some portion of quoted text can be used to put further emphasis on a portion of a quote.

I don't recall seeing the glow feature abused but I can recall some annoying use of changing text color.  So, if only one of them is restored, I hope it will be glow.
