Wow, it's been a rough ride, but it definitely looks as if the new forums are going. I'm sure it will not be smooth sailing for the next few days however I believe it couldn't be much worse than the previous few days. Please report any issue that is not already mentioned below on this post and we'll start working on setting everything else up.
Known issues that should be resolvable:
Member icons smaller than 65x65 are still getting stretched? - Believe fixed now.missing last post icon - Should be just like YaBB was now. :)Forum moderators haven't been setup - Done and still in the process.Many don't like the emoticons - Smiles are now the original YaBB classics (set as forum default), can change in profile if you want to something different.Look into create a option to read all posts in one page. - Should now be availableNo link on bottom of page to go back to forums - Show be seen similar to how YaBB was at the bottom and top (no more tree view)Report to moderator link not working - WorksResized large posted images.Missing separator that appeared between pinned posts and unpinned posts in the YaBB forums. - Unable to create a separator like YaBB but managed to change the background colors to make them easily distinguishable.Increase grace time before posts are marked as modified? - Increased post edit wait time from 90 sec to 600.Make the post page message box white. - Done, may change to alternate color however, white seems a little harsh.Make the message section tab to the submit button after the message box instead of jumping to PM's - donePHP Spell checker not installed on server so spell check doesn't work.Need to finish work on FAQ wiki template - Done- Add/Fix language change options
Large images need to be resized - was theme issue- L
arge URL's need to be resized -- fixed with above css fix - Still lots of other visual changes that need to be done and can be done.
Reported issues unable to duplicate (mention it if you can):
Missing divider line between post and signature - No complaints after original.Session verification failed - No complaints after original.
Known issues that have to be worked around:
- Past polls (before conversion) have some issues, improper count. Also polls in this system don't support guest votes.
- Some signatures apparently didn't survive conversion
On requests on the list:
- Add spambot script mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=495)
- Add Skype and other options to available contacts - Link (http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,32942.0.html) / Link (http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,37936.0/topicseen.html)
- Add profile ability for users to say how experienced they are.
- Is it possible for more than 15 posts in the review of messages?
- Make quotes within quotes a different color.
- Add folding@home link or icon in profile
- On Quick reply add bold, italic, img, link buttons. Request (http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php?action=post;topic=55010.0;num_replies=9)
Wiki Template:
If implemented again need to fix these issues.
- FAQ wiki still has numerous small issues such as folders/icons being same icon, posts with more than one page not being displayed, creator of document, etc. Example of problem doc: http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,25982.html
- FAQ wiki template should have who originally created a post and see if can separate child boards from posts
Extra consideration and work.

Yay! :D *Does happy dance*
Seriously, though, good job admin! I knew you could do it. ;)
I don't really care for the new emoticons, though, but other than that i like these forums!
-John
-
I'll add it to the list, I'm sure something like that could be easily changed and thanks for the vote of confidence. :) oops sorry for using the emoticon.
-
PLEASE restore the avatars to the YaBB size. :)
EDIT:
Note the checked box -- you will want to check it yourself. :)

-
PLEASE restore the avatars to the YaBB size. :)
Done. Believe from what I see on YaBb that it was 65x65.
-
The first things that I noticed (and didn't like)....
There is no 'All' link to read multiple pages.
At the bottom of the screen there is no direct link to go back to 'All Forums' so now we have to use that dropdown menu.
The emoticons.
The look & feel of the new place, the old place felt sort of special (different) but now it's ho hum.
Give it some time to grow on me. :-\
-
Now I've found that after Dilbert posted that screenshot I have to scroll sideways to read the text messages.
-
Nag, Nag, Nag,... I sound like my wife. ;D
-
Now I've found that after Dilbert posted that screenshot I have to scroll sideways to read the text messages.
I noticed that too...
-John
-
That would happen on YaBB too. Sorry, I just used ImageBot to upload the clipboard, didn't bother to resize it. Let me do that...
-
On the old forum the oversized pics were contained in their own box with scrollbars but they didn't effect the post text.
Scrolling sideways to read a post just puts me off reading it all together.
-
Nag, Nag, Nag,... I sound like my wife.
I don't mind at all, suggestions added to list of things to look into.
-
Something's still wrong... small pics are stretched. :(
-
See, this is why I register two users. :)
-
Something's still wrong... small pics are stretched. :(
That icon has a size of 45x59 so will be stretched to current setting. I'm not exactly sure what YaBB's default size was, just assumed it was what I set it to because the default image is that size. Well look into it some more.
-
YaBB allowed smaller pics, just resized the larger ones.
-

You're absolutely right. Looking into it.
-
W00t! :D the old smileys are back! Keep up the good work, admin! ;)
-John
-
Thanks, also *I think* avatars are fixed too, not sure why it does resize when HTML resize option selected, but when javascript resize option selected seems to work.
-
Nice job, Nathan!
-
Thanks. ;D
-
Well, if the cat isnt fat, then all is well :D
Nice Job, Nathan. Hopefuly, that will be the last of your problems in the Forum world.
Be sure to drop in so we dont start theorizing that you got hit by a bus again
-
Thanks. I always try to be around, just sometimes I get involved in other projects. Besides it's hard to get hit by a bus when you hardly go outside. If I happen to vanish again it would be better to assume I got electrocuted. ;)
-
A note on the plus side... the text size is great. :D :D :D
-
Good to hear. ;D
-
Nathan,
Setting the size in your Admin Panel for image sizes allowed in posts will remove the problem of the board being stretched making users have to scroll right.
-
last post icon...... where it is?
-
last post icon...... where it is?
Missing. :( It looks like the YaBB template doesn't have it, but I'm sure once I start editing the template it's something I can do will add to the list.
-
Nathan,
One of Dilberts images in this thread is quite large.
I've attached an image where you need to set the image size, which will prevent the forum from being stretched by its width.
[old attachment deleted by admin]
-
But I resized it! :'(
-
May want to resize it even further or use saviours attachment. I'm sure users who have smaller displays and/or resolutions may be getting horizontal scrolling.
-
I changed it to an attachment. Sorry, I wanted the size so I could help show the context of where it is in the Profile. :)
-
That did it...
Nice thing about the thumbnail images is that you can click them and see the image...its original size!
Love it!!!
-
Heh, you can lock your own topics now, thats cool
BTW: How exactly does the "report to moderator" tool work?
-
I just reported your last post as a test. (I asked Nathan to disregard.) Not sure what it did. ???
-
Yeah I also did it and not exactly sure what if anything it did.
-
Never mind, sends an e-mail to admin/mods.
-
Oh... crap... this could be bad... abuse reporting abuse, anyone? ;)
-
Never mind, sends an e-mail to admin/mods.

-
Nathan, can Zylstra be made a Mod? I think he'll explode in a minute... ;)
-
I think that would only be fair with the help he's provided. Done.
-
Everything's looking pretty good so far, Nathan. I kinda don't like the post page (I liked it better with white text boxes), but everything else looks alright, even if it is all a bit off. Just something we'll have to get used to. I only have a few minor complaints...
When posting in a thread, instead of taking us back to the thread, it takes us back to the forum. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm not a big fan of this.
Also, hitting Tab jumps up to the PM's section instead of the Post button. Anyway to rearrange the tabindex?
I'm not seeing the NEW icon for any new messages, but this is my first time logging on to the new board, so maybe they'll start showing up for me soon. I've also had a couple of problems posting, but I'm not sure what's going on. Might've just been a fluje. If it happens again, I'll give you more info.
-
Regarding being taken back to the forums, look at the attachment:
Hmp. Are attachments disabled now? It's not showing up for me...
-
Thanks for the feedback CBMatt
I kinda don't like the post page (I liked it better with white text boxes), but everything else looks alright, even if it is all a bit off.
I'm sure it's just a CSS stylesheet setting that can be changed to white. After you mentioned it and looking at it I tend to agree. If anyone else has comments or doesn't want it white speak up.
Regarding being taken back to the forums
Look at Dilberts post on the first page it's a profile setting that you can adjust so it's how you want it. I can't seem to find a way to have this as default.
Hitting Tab jumps up to the PM's section instead of the Post button. Anyway to rearrange the tabindex?
Sure it can be done will add to list on first post.
I'm not seeing the NEW icon for any new messages
Being addressed, something with the YaBB template. You can temporarily fix it if you change to the SMF template, but it will completely change the look. I hope to change the default template completely tomorrow and this is one of the things I'll change.
Dilbert:
Hmp. Are attachments disabled now?
Didn't change anything with attachments, try it in a different post. It's very possible that you may only be able to do one attachment per thread.
-
The "Additional Options..." has changed.
(http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/4426/clipboard4gu7.jpg)
No "Attachment" thingamajigger. Maybe it's a GMOD thing, let's see what Ghostie can do...
-
I see the attachments thing fine. You have a problem with the Global Moderators, Nathan. :)
Here's what I was trying to attach:
[old attachment deleted by admin]
-
Now, not only do I not have the option of attaching, I can't see my attachment!
-
Huh that is strange, did log into Techno and he too cannot see the above attachment, so you're probably right about the global mod being the cause of the issue.
-
*bows* :)
EDIT: LOL, I was bored and gave Ghostie a Smite. Now his Postcount's at 0. I gave a Applaud, and he's now got 2 karma -- but 0 posts. ;D
(I've been smitten once already, so I think this is a fluke. But it's still funny.)
-
Attachment issue should now be fixed for whatever reason default global mod rights had all file attachment options disabled.
-
Yep, it's fixed. Have some karma. (You're first to hit double-digits! Then again, you've done a lot to earn it today.)
-
Heh thanks here have some yourself for reporting the issue. ;)
-
Look at Dilberts post on the first page it's a profile setting that you can adjust so it's how you want it. I can't seem to find a way to have this as default.
Oh! I totally overlooked that. Thanks a bunch, that's much better.
Another thing I noticed...when I went to quote your post, your quotes didn't show up (do you get what I mean?). It's not really a big deal to me, but I figured I'd bring it up in case anyone else is bothered by it.
ALSO...that posting problem came up. Whenever I'm posting, if someone makes a post, while I'm writing mine, it won't go through. It says the following...
Warning - while you were reading a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.
And then I have to try again.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the NEW icons are showing up now.
-
Good job. Congratulations all. Nathan specially. ;)
-
*bows* :)

Yeah that's funny. This happens with everyone. Post count is static.
-
No <div> between post and sig. Makes an ugly looking post. Have also noticed that on several occassions, clicking someones link simply reloads the page instead of going to the specified location. Are they hidden posts, or just a fluke?
-
Post count is static.
Ah, so I'm not the only one. Ha.
-
I would also like to see the Post box background back to the lighter color.
And i noticed the quote boxes and text are kinda tiny.
Other than that the rest are minor tweaks and i'd like to say Hats Off to Nathan for all the effort ! !
-
good work nathan ;D
-
I like these new forums, nice job.
-
Nathan, can Zylstra be made a Mod? I think he'll explode in a minute... ;)
I think that would only be fair with the help he's provided. Done.
Thank you very much
I am glad that I am considered a valuable asset to this forum
(Thank you thank you thank you thank you)
-
For the "Warning - while you were reading a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post." problem, you can dissable this somewhere in your Profile... I saw it, but I dont know where.
-
Same place as you can select "return to thread" after post. :D

(almost modified your message there, Dilbert)
Lets see, where is that exactly?
Its under "Looks and Layout Prefrences" in the Profile area

Strange I'm able to quote with no issues. I'll look into it. Added to list.

I was under the impression that you could continue to work on your post even if that warning was displayed? So does it just not allow you to post?
Peccavi:
Good job. Congratulations all. Nathan specially.
Thanks.
2k_dummy:
No <div> between post and sig. Makes an ugly looking post.
Are you talking about the HTML div tag or an actual divider? Ther should be a horizontal line between the users post and the signature.
Patio:
Thanks and comments noted. :)
Unlovedwarrior:
Thanks.
Calum:
That's good to hear and thanks.
-
Ther should be a horizontal line between the users post and the signature.
I don't see any divider. maybe I'm using the wrong template.
-
Also:
Topic reply notifications work, but they are sending really slowly.
I would think this is either a) Build up of the Unix Sendmail thing in the User bin b)STMP processing slowly
But I dont know
-
But I dont know
You don't, do you! ;) ;D
-
I don't see any divider. maybe I'm using the wrong template.
I looked at your profile and it looks like you're using the default profile (which should resemble the old forum). The divider is a dark blue line. I'll mention this on the first post and if anyone else can't see the divider between the post and the signature speak up.
-

I see the divider fine, I haven't changed template or anything.
-
Im going to be honest, and i dont mean this in an ignorant way, but.....
I do prefer the other forums :(
Sorry, but well done on getting it working
Chris
-
I always appreciate honesty, however could you maybe list reasons why you don't like these forums. Maybe changes can be made to make them better for you in your eyes.
-
WE WILL SMITE ALL DISSENTERS! ;D
-
One thing I miss is the ability to click on "last post" in the forums, and be taken to the most recent post. :)
-

That is a little annoying.
Some threads have a "new" button though, which seems to do the same thing.
-
Yeah it's on the to-do list and something I hope to add by the end of the day, have to do some customization to the template, actually working on it now. Just a Perl guy and have to get used to all this PHP.
List of to-do's is first post on this thread.
-
ALSO...that posting problem came up. Whenever I'm posting, if someone makes a post, while I'm writing mine, it won't go through. It says the following...
Warning - while you were reading a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.
I just encountered this issue while doing the last post, it gives you the option to review the post but if you just hit the post button again it will submit your post without having to review it. I actually like this feature because it helps prevent the chance that you might miss a post as you're posting.
-
You can turn that off, too, but I prefer it. Handy little feature. :)
-

I turned it off. It would be better if you could see what was just posted, then you wouldn't have to repeat information. Its a pain in the derriere to have to reload a page to see what was posted. Reviewing my own post means nothing. So I just click post and let 'er rip.
-
Nearly every time I log in, I see that you are online and posting, Nathan.
My advice to you:
GO GET SOME SLEEP! ::)
I wouldn't be surprised if your running time* has been three days so far.
*Yes, I know, that sounds very "computer"
-
Heh, just trying to get all these little quirks settled away finally got that most requested one done. Should now be able to see the last topic just like how you could in YaBB by clicking the date/time. ;D
-
By the way you're one to talk you've been putting in a lot of hours too. :P
http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php?action=stats
-
I'm only 3 hours behind YOU, Nathan. MUA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAA!
Only about 10 more threads before I'm the top thread starter!
I'm #9 in postcount!
I had no idea how much a part of this forum I've become. And to think, last year, I was whining for having less than 50 posts and being called a newbie! :o
-
By the way you're one to talk you've been putting in a lot of hours too. :P
http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php?action=stats
Now now, we do like the fact that you are here and all, but seriously... 15 hours? On a forum?
Geeze
(just remember, after everything gets back on track, be sure to drop in a few times each month... you should have seen some of the stuff that was going on when you were gone for a very long time. Such as: "Maybe he got hit by a bus...")
-
I see Nathan implemented the link for latest post. Thank you, Nathan! ;D
-
Indeed. Also just as a note to all global moderators, you're still a global moderator just as a secondary group. That way you're color for the amount of posts will be displayed in the user list and your post count rank will be seen.
-
Also I added an additional group "rookie", for members that have 10+ posts. I mainly did this so I can get a better idea on how many users are between the 0 and 25 post count.
I'll update the FAQ.
-
Other than that, the ranking systems are the same, right? Just trying to figure out if I should look forward to 3700 or another number. (No offense, but I don't like being the only Egghead. It's lonely. :))
EDIT: What do you mean by this:
That way you're color for the amount of posts will be displayed in the user list
It looks all the same color to me... ???
http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php?action=mlist;sort=posts;start=0
-
Yeah everything else should be the same as it was before. Unfortunately the high ranks are all pretty lonely as you can also see below (second column being the count of users at that rank). :(
Expert * 8 2000
Egghead * 1 2800
Guru * 1 3700
Hacker * 2 4700
Prodigy * 3 6000
Sage * 1 7600
Genius * 1 10000
Regarding your color, it's also a blue so it'll look similar, but it is different.
-
Oh, you meant in the "Users Online" thing! Yeah, that looks different, I'm turquoise. I thought you meant our names when we post (mine is still the same on that one). :)
-
Yeah that's true. Hmm not sure if that can be changed, maybe look into that tomorrow, think I'm calling it a day.
-
Good night. :)
-
I always appreciate honesty, however could you maybe list reasons why you don't like these forums. Maybe changes can be made to make them better for you in your eyes.
Hey its all cool now, i found the thing where you can change the theme. So ive changed the theme and it looks better then it did with the other forums.
Thanks anyway
Chris
-
Yeah that's true. Hmm not sure if that can be changed, maybe look into that tomorrow, think I'm calling it a day.
Finally... ::)
(more like, calling it a few days)
-
Clicking on 'All' in Hidden-->Don's B&G now produces the old IE error for me...
"The page cannot be displayed..... bla bla"
Yesterday clicking on 'All' in the same thread produced a CH generated error.
Can someone else try it?
-
All will not load in Firefox for that thread either...
Possibly because of the size ? ?
-
Maybe a new B&G is in order. ;)
-
Sure there's 20 something pages in there but even this Success thread is already up to 7 pages so if it's a forum glitch it should be looked at.
-
Yeah I also noticed this when I first fixed this issue and used that as a test thread. I think it's due to the fact that the thread is so long. I don't think there is anything I can do about that, however I'll post something on the SMF forum, it's likely a limitation that can't be avoided.
-
As Dilbert suggested we can delete the thread and start again but it may also impact on other threads.
-
The log shows "no reply..."
Instead of deleting the thread, just lock it. Start a new thread, Don's B&G #2. All the messages, links, etc. will be preserved. Just no new posts.
-
The text size inside quotes is almost impossible to read on the dark background.
Course it could be my eyes.... :P
-
The text size inside quotes is almost impossible to read on the dark background.
Course it could be my eyes.... :P
Ok, I'll look into it.
Testing.. on dark back with quote
-
Do a refresh on your browser and see if the above looks any better I got rid of the CSS style sheet tag that reduced the size of the font on quotes.
-
The above looks much better...again Thanx !
Now get some sleep, willya ? ?
-
I did, no need to worry. :)
-
Also, hitting Tab jumps up to the PM's section instead of the Post button. Anyway to rearrange the tabindex?
Since this isn't a visible fix I thought I'd mention that it has been fixed.
-
I just noticed. Thanks! That's much more convenient.
-
You're welcome. :)
-
New PM notification is not working...2 PM's this AM no notifier box.
Not a big deal though...
Thanx again !
P.S. It's sweet having the Tab /Post thing back...we we're old friends.
-
I recive and get notified of PM's fine.
Did you check your looks and layout settings?
-
Yep it's on...send one and i'll log off and back on again.
-
Yep it's on...send one and i'll log off and back on again.
Test PM sent
-
Done...works great, and Thanx !
-
Everything's coming along very smoothly, I think. On this end anyway. Heh. Thanks for giving so much attention to details, Nathan. You're awesome. Other than the weird quoting issue (maybe it's just me), I have no further qualms. I'm quite pleased with the changes.
I can quote fine.I see the divider fine, I haven't changed template or anything.
I can quote fine too. BUT it doesn't include your original quotes, Calum. On YaBB, the things you quoted would also show up in my quote. Does this make more sense?
-

Yeah that makes since I actually enabled that thinking it would look better because you wouldn't have quotes going a mile long. But I agree, I could see how this could cause issues / confusion so I'll disable.

This is a test to make sure nested quotes work.. looks like it.
-
Does this mean nested arguments will be retained ? ?

Yep.

I'm getting a wordwrap problem here, it never happened on the old forum.
Here's an example...
http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,33120.0.html
-
Ok, I'll see if there is anything I can do about this. It's not as noticiable for me as I must be using a higher resolution or bigger display than you. I'll let you know when I get something done about it so you can be my guinea pig. :)
-
I noticed it in a HJT log too, let me know if you want a screenshot.
-
Nag, nag, nag... Sorry Nathan but I have another
one two. :-[
While in the message box about to type a post I can't get to see all the previous posts for the thread.
Very important for my failing memory to be able to refer back and even quote previous statements made.
EDIT: My email address is showing but it is ticked to 'hide' in my options?
-
I don't mind. Yeah it appears as if it only displays the last 15 messages. I briefly looked to see if there was an admin option I could adjust but couldn't see anything. So I'll look around some more in a bit and/or ask SMF about.
Regarding your e-mail it is actually hidden, however not to you. All other members cannot see your e-mail address, in addition I made the forums display no e-mail addresses to guests regardless if they have the option enabled to show their e-mail.

I see what you meant now CBMatt, I didn't get what you meant before.
Fed - I don't have issues with word wrapping there, but I do here - http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,33119.msg199504.html#msg199504
-
As previously noted, any oversized image or extra long line will cause this problem. Long url's are particularly bad for it. Forced word wrapping on all pages would have to be used. Otherwise, with long url's, you can use the {url=http://your url}your text{/url} syntax. There is nothing the poster can do with large images except resize them before posting. If the image resides on a different web site, this may be impracticle. If the oversized stuff happens to be the most recent post in a particular topic, it can cause the problem on the index page as well if any portion of that post is displayed there.
-
I don't see it in your example Fed...maybe it's been fixed ? ?
P.S. Nathan thanx for reordering the Software sub-Forum...much better.
-

Patio, the link I put up still won't wrap for me but strangely the link Calum put up displays fine for me. Go figure? ???
I'm running 1024 x 768 on a 19" CRT with 'Largest Text' in IE.

P.S. Nathan thanx for reordering the Software sub-Forum...much better.
You're welcome. Just happened to notice it wasn't right the other night.
I wish you continued progress. Jp
Thanks.
Regarding the URL's I'm still trying to find if it's at all possible the above solution would be the best to put the URL in the actual link and then put the title of the link in the url= tag. It does cut log sentences with only English letters, but with url's it doesn't break them up.
All other errors that have been reported that I'm working on are on the first post of this thread.
-
Interestingly YaBB automatically shortened URL links, didn't it, and inserted elipses (...)?
-
Is it possible to see who wrote the first post in each of the FAQ threads?
I think it would be a nice feature.

While working on other mods I did happen to see a mod that will add elipses to URL's I'm having a heck of a time getting any mod to install properly. However, I'll add to list of to-do's. For now just suggest adding the URL in the URL tag and just using a link.

Not sure where you're wanting this but you can actually see who started each post in the list of posts under the "Started By" column.
-
I attached an example of what I mean.
There is no way to tell who made the first post.

Ok, gotcha. Yeah that's a limitation in that template. However, I'm sure it's something that could be added. I'll add it to the list.
-
Is there a way to separate the child boards and stickys from the actual posts?
I found it a bit difficult to find posts in the FAQ section (That, and you cant see who the post was made by...)

Yeah I'll see if anything can be done the next time I modify the FAQ section theme.
-
Even a different icon would be good. Something for subdirectories wouldn't be bad, either. :)

I'm so glad you fixed that. It's been bothering me, but I didn't want to say anything. Ha. Is there any way to alternate the quotebox colors? Like, have the main quote be one color and have the sub-quotes be a different color? It's not a big issue, but I think it would make the quotes easier to read. I just got back from the San Francisco area earlier today and I'm very tired, so I apologize if I'm not making much sense.

I'll add it to a list, however, I'm imagining something like that could be pretty difficult. But that's just an assumption.
-
Yeah, understandable. Feel free to keep that one on the backburner, as it's really not all that important. Just me being nitpicky. Heh.

Thanks for the comments and I appreciate the feedback. I'm sure the other forum members who help and participate on the forum also appreciate the comments.

The last six posts of Dilbert's MS-DOS Tutorial (http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,25982.html) seem to be hidden. You can still read them if you go to the printable version (http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=25982).

Yeah this is the fault of the wiki template again. It will only display one page of posts so if there are more than one page of posts those posts cannot be viewed. Something that still needs to be addressed. I'll try to get it done as soon as possible. Thanks for pointing out a post with this issue.

Here is another request:
Change the email sending settings in the SMF forum from the default Usr/sendmail to STMP.
Topic replys, moderator reports, etc, are sending a bit slowly, and it seems that whichever system you are using now, gets gunked up every so often.
Usrsendmail (I think thats what its called) is the normal default, and it works well, but its no ideal for the amount of emails processed through this forum.
-
I've changed from the default of the PHP mail system to SMTP. However, still testing to whether or not it works. During this time if it's not working notifications are not going to be sent.
-
I'm still scrolling left to right here Nathan, HJT logs seem to force the issue which then flows on to all the text in the thread.
1024 x 768, 19" monitor, IE set on largest text size.
My setup is what I'd consider to be very average so surely this is happening to many users?
-
Yeah a solution has been found, unfortunately it was in the forum of a mod, which I've had issues with. So still something trying to get resolved. Sorry for the hassle.

Yeah, I've got the same setup here (but with text set at Medium) and certain HJT logs will stretch the page for me. It doesn't bother me, but until Fed said something, I hadn't thought of how bad it might be for anyone with a smaller monitor and/or lower resolution.
-
They stretch posts for me too - 15.4", 1280x800.

wow some seriously good things going on in here now great job hope and all staff .
-
I really appreciate this site, it is the source of knowledge. Thanks to all the members that support this site unconditionally.

This is the coolest thing i like about this site up todate.
Thanks the light blue color looks pretty nice an visible.

Don't want to complain but would it be possible to have a link below you're avatar(Personal text).
Were only the characters who are actually displayed count.
I'll explain myself. (e.g.)
When you type this [url=http://youtube.com/results?search_query=Jonas+Wauters][color=teal]My Skatevids[/color][/url]that only the 12 characters (Of: My skatemovie)count so you can put a link in you're personal text.
Only a small suggestion. Don't even know if it can be done.
Jonas ;)
-
Not that I'm aware of. Links are not possible, personalized text is possible, but cannot be created as a link.
-
OK thanks for the reply.
Jonas ;)
-
why does it not work for me? >.<
-
The email system could do with a little work, would be better if it was like you tube mail...
Thanks the site rocks

Could you describe how, exactly?

Thanks Zylstra for pointing this out. The ISP hosting the server has finally implemented the PHP mod required for Spell Check on the server allowing the Spell Check button to now work. ;D
-
Have finally got around and located the cause of large images not working properly on the forum. Ended up being an issue with the default theme (classic YaBB) that was causing all the issues. No CSS instructions, has been fixed as seen in the below post.

In my continuation of cleaning up the stickies in the Other section I'm going to also be removing the sticky on this thread. The tasks that need to be done will not be forgotten or lost. I still have them on my list of things to do but I think a more than 1-year old post doesn't need to remain a sticky for that long. :)
