Success!

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?

[Computer Hope Admin]

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.

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?

This is a test to make sure nested quotes work.. looks like it.

Yeah, seems to work.
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.

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.

[Rob Pomeroy]

Interestingly YaBB automatically shortened URL links, didn't it, and inserted elipses (...)?

[Kip]

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.

[Kip]

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.
