Markos, could you please tell me what's the reason for limiting the time during which one can edit their posts ?

I have the habit, for PBEM games I CMN, to keep the most recent information about players in the first post of the thread, and now I can't do that anymore.

there havent been any changes to that code. it's copy-paste from the the old forums

Sorry to post again on the same subject, but I appear to have passed over by the Admin.

I have now been able to change my options, but I still cannot change my Avatar. I get the message:

What gives?

If you use Moz to look at this thread, you'll notice some of the rows are wider than others, esp. the first message that Markos posted. Also the table cells in the first column don't have the same width. Considering Moz is following W3C standards in rendering, maybe there's something messed up with the HTML code. Don't forget the DOCTYPE tag at the top of every HTML document Markos EDIT: Hmm, it looks normal after reloading. Weird.

Unfortunately reloading only fixes part of the problem, the first (left-hand) column still has variable width under Moz 0.9. This thread is a good example.

Perhaps each row is actually a table all by itself? Too lazy to look at the source, sorry

Chowlett,

That could be it. Check your browser to see if it has cookies disabled. If you are accessing this from a public computer however you might not want to have cookies set anyway, since other people could use the same computer masquerade as you on here.

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Oh, I have now noticed that you can turn of the 'E-mail notification' by default now. With my posting patterns, I was at great risk of inadvertantly e-mail bombing my own inbox

Looks good. Visually will take some getting used to, but then again, so did UBB when I first started posting at these kind of places. Just makes a change. But it shouldn't take long. I am taking quite a shine to it. There are lots of features and it seems to make admin work easier...I'll have to suggest it to Reismark

Great upgrade MarkG! Congratulations!!!
Many usefull new features added!

I hope it remains that way so I won't have to grumble .

<i>Some answers & questions...</i>

quote: Originally posted by Saddam Also, can we still use the Old Smilies? i have seen these ones in the Europa Universalis forum. They are pretty lame.....

I see the same old cool smilies .

quote: Originally posted by MarkG 1) during the import, users registered before 15/2/1999 got the classic "0" unix date, 1/1/1970

And will this change back to the original registration date?

quote: Originally posted by Urban Ranger The rendering in Mozilla 0.9 is messed up.

This has to do with Netscape but with the creators of vBulletin also. Beleive me, when it comes to the design of webpages using complicated code the differences between the two browsers are increased! Fortunately or unfortunatelly most people are using Internet Explorer so better have less people with problems (Netscape) than more (IE) .

quote: Originally posted by Provost Harrison Oh, I have now noticed that you can turn of the 'E-mail notification' by default now

I would recommend as some users can't find that option (too lazy maybe ) and if it is a customizable feature for admins to disable it by default and which ever wishes to enable it to do so through the options.

<i>A (very minor) observation</i>

Two icons haven't a tooltip: the "IP" icon and the "Add Me" icon for icq. Very minor but just in case...

Yes, that is what I meant.

I realize it's not easy, but think of all the threads that reference each other on Poly... They all point to the old forum, which will disappear at some point I assume, then we'll be left with broken links everywhere.

Surely, there must be a way to run a query to retrieve thread & forum numbers from the UBB, and match the names with the new one, then update the posts ?

Aredhran

Ahhh. nice to see the original smilies have returned , except the rolleyes...
