Site upgrade

[k14]

I seem to be having problems with mozilla. It doesnt seem to be saving my login, i have to put in my username and password every time i return to the site. It used to be sweet with the old version of the forums.

Has anyone else had any problems like this??

Yep - killed me on Mozilla too. DIdn't work on Opera either, but that may have been my settiings

It's working great for me on Mozilla 1.5a

Still getting used to it, but damn good work SpankMe

It is sweet to browse the forum, but i cant stay logged in when i exit mozilla and then come back onto the forums. Must be something to do with the cookie settings.

I closed and restarted Mozilla and I'm still logged on.

S'ok,but my computer at home can't handle it too well,some sort of grafics overload when I hit post reply.So I can't post from home - ain't you guys lucky!

And so how does this quick reply thing work? Both my cumputers say.....PostID;0....so,what does that mean?

Hey - I gotta scroll in this reply mode,but not in the read forums

There are three diferent editors you can choose from when posting. One is just a text editor for those with graphical problems. Go to the "User CP" to pick one.

In fact it would be a good idea for everyone to go through all the things in the "User CP" and familiarize themselves with what configuration changes you are able to make.

Hi, what do the stars under people's name mean ??

[SpankMe]

They're related to post count.

1 → 5 Silver stars, then..
1 → 5 Gold stars, then..
1 → 5 Flashy X thingys

Hey SpankMe,

will the gallery be coming back soon?

Or am I just to dumb to find it on the new site ? :confused2

Is there anyway to make the user info box a bit smaller (i.e. the box above with name avatar etc)? I tried the alternative "Display Modes" but they didn't make any difference.

The reason I ask is because it seems a waste of real estate since you have the image/name on the left and squashed up text on the right with a whole lotta nothin in the middle. One of my gripes is having to scroll down pages and pages of avatars, sigs etc just to read a one line reply.

I goes aways fors sa week and everything changes . . . .

Looks cool :bigthumb:

Celtic6 - I have used Opera7 all the time and mozilla 1.3-1.5 both with no problems at all considering that I am on a dialup connection.

Off no to look up UserCP as instructed

I have now set it up so you can choose to display posts the old vB2 way of having the user info on the left. Just go to edit options in your User CP.

Thanks, I think having the user info on the left makes it easier to read down through threads, but the VB3 way looks a bit more balanced. I'll stick with useability for now.
