Cool. I'm sure everything'll get sorted eventually.

Note: To someone who can do something about this (Qhimm, SaiNt?), is there a way of turning off the "highlight" that follows the cursor on the topic listing? a) It slows things down, and b) If I shift-click on a link (SHOULD open it in a new window) the DHTML intercepts it and opens it in the original window instead, thus I lose my topic view ... I like to keep that open while browsing thru posts in a new window.

No hurry, but thought I'd mention it :wink:

BTW: Avatars *can* slow things down. Currently, I'm on a 56K modem shared between 5 - yes 5 - computers. Yeah. Every KB counts.

On the plus side, I wrote the house an MP3 server this afternoon, so now we can control the house music system from almost every room ^_^
 
Ok! This is starting to look good.

So Fice, you load the forums into new windows too, huh? Cool.

As for the time issue mirex was talking about earlier, you can correct that in for profile. (You can set it for your time, and it interperates all the times and dates accordingly.)

Hey Qhimm: can you increase the character limit for the sigs? 255 doesn't fit my whole sig.

Well, that it for now.

But I've noticed that my post count have dropped considerably, about 40 posts.
 
Whoa! 40 posts behind  - StrayWings

Well, as Qhimm said, our posts that are two days back before the 'move' has been deleted..so here we are, with post counts lesser than before~
 
I'm very much against allowing larger .sigs than 255 characters. Sigs should only contain crucial information that can't be found in the post description or the user profile. Thus I find little need to allow them at all, but I'll allow 255-character ones for now to see if things work out.

Also, I'm removing the ICQ-online images, since they seem to be the primary slowdown (at least on my computer).
 
I don't think my opinion really counts but... for me, avatars are good (it is sinplier to recognize posts done by specific user), signs are not (they can really mess up the board (look on other boards)). And something more, just wondering why is so silent here lately?
 
is it me or did i miss the options ? cos im sure i set up my avatar
heeeeeeeeelp!!
 
Whoho!
Never saw Qhimm posting SO often :wink: !

Fice: 56K - 5 computers? Uh - and I though my 56K 1 computer connection is slow...

Qhimm: 'bout that ICQ-Pics: Can't you simply upload the pics onto the server? I know that then you won't know if users are online, but it's better than no pic.

(I hope that was all I wanted to answer - sooooo much posts :grin: )

Skillster: Did you forget to click on 'Custom Avatar>>>' ?

 - edit 2-
I see there's a bug with the 'Get Avatar>>>' Function. No avatars uploaded?

Whoo i missed alot! :smile: he he he.. i do like the new features.. the color scheme here leaves something to be desired but it works... :smile: Not bad.. even if it is only temporary its still not bad..

:::Edit:::

Whoa i do see what everyone means about the posts going down .. but uh i think everyone will just get them back to normal in no time.. Can you actually delete your own posts on this thing?

Just wondering, will we get our 'Crazy Poster, No Life, etc' status back??
 
It is possible to get them back, it just depends if Qhimm's got the time. You can hack phpBB so much more than UBB, just look at the NextFF Forums. The SaiNt's done loads.
 
I'm quite sure we'll get that statuses back. I'm currently finishing my board, and now I know, too, that it's possible to change (almost) everything.

I wonder if this is going to be a 9-page topic :wink: ?

I am sharing 1 56k modem between 5 PC's but for some weird reason WinXP manages to reserve half the bandwidth so 4 pcs share half the modem bandwidth while the other pc has the other half. The Winxp pc is mine so I am not complaining :smile:
 
Ok....I like the avatar but I think that it will make the board look messy....
 
Well, currently we don't have any net access (I'm posting this from uni) because we've just installed Win2K Advanced Server on the house server ... problems galore with the modem sharing. Though it's *nearly* working...

On the plus side, by the end of the month we'll (hopefully) have ADSL ^_^
 
Interestingly enough we have just had an email from BT offering uss free installation so we signed up for ADSL. We get it on the 16th! Finally I'll be able to download games!!!
