Thank you.

Also in case anyone asks...black borders didn't show up for me automatically - I needed to ctrl+refresh to get the cache refresh.

Wow, the black borders are so much better! Thanks!

I still think the forum baners need some kind of border, right now IMO its kidna jarring.

Thanks for the search links on the index page
Mark forums read | Unanswered | Unread | New | My Posts

I would be happy to see those search links make their way onto search results pages as well as within an individual sub-forum and within a topic.

The idea (for me) is to hit a search (e.g., Unanswered or My Posts) and do whatever it is I'm doing there. Then hit a new search without back-tracking out to the Index.

Example, atop this thread we have:
Go to page Previous 1 ... 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

I suppose what I'd want to see is:

Thoughts?

I'll look at it, might be able to squeeze it up there somewhere, honestly I'm not fond of where it is on the main page right now so it may move around.

anyone know if it's possible to selectively block the section images, and force them to fall back to their alternative text? personally, I think 100px is far too big (even on my 1920x1080 monitor).

Since it hasn't been fixed yet, I'll repost this:

Changes
1. Signature size: New sig size is: [color=#FF0000]680x(something not dumb) - Images wider than 680px in length will be auto resized by the forum. The quality of this won't be as good as if you resized it yourself.

EDIT: sig resizing doesn't appear to work in all cases... looking into this.

2. Image size: Image sizes allowed in posts are limited to 680x750, anything larger than this will be resized by the forum to fit these parameters (it takes into account landscape vs portrait and tries to keep scale) the image will then also become a link that will open to that image location directly in a new tab.[/color]

This goes horribly wrong. I made images that were scaled down because they were something like 800*1067. I resized them to 563*750. They get scaled down to 510*680.

It looks like the mark all, unmark all buttons in the pm section don't work at all.

The color attribute from .quotecontent is still missing its last character. That's why the quotes are white instead of blue.

Code:

.quotecontent, .attachcontent {
   margin: 0 5px 0px 5px;
   padding: 5px;
   border-color: #303030;
   border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
   border-style: solid;
   font-weight: normal;
   font-size: 11px;
   line-height: 125%;
   font-family:  Verdana, "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
   background-color: #000000;
   color: #8399C; /* <- should be #8399CF or something similar */
}

You do realize that those are search engine crawlers and they collect data so you can find anything on Google and Yahoo, right? :wink:

Btw it would be nice if the report function was expanded so you could use it to report things to get stickied. Of course mods would actually have to read the damn things but whatever >.>

BulletMagnet

just choose "other" and say in the comment box how much the post rocks, and should be stickied.

Meh.

Subscribed box only ever says "watch this topic" even when already subscribed.

EDIT:

Also, it would be nice to be able to tell what page i'm on. Right now, i have to hit next/previous, and have no way to tell where i am.

For the email notifications, is it possible to take out those stupid "" marks in the Topic Reply Notification - "<thread name here>" emails?

And what's the difference between the it and forumadmin senders?

The it would be Information Technology (or gpgITninja in this case), and forumadmin would be a general email sent by any forum admin. At least that's how I imagine it to be.

No, for the auto reply emails. There are two senders: it, and forumadmin. What's the difference? There was only forumadmin before.

This is a shot of a console log when navigating to...

I recognize the 2nd error (color code) from a Spooky post, but perhaps the others are useful info as well.

I am looking into all these things, but for the next 2 weeks I'm the only IT staff in the building so day to day stuff has me pretty swamped. I will get to this stuff as I have the time.

Of course - just wanted it on the radar. I'm half-expected you to say it's browser idiosyncrasies anyway.
