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

Hm, the rolleyes are there too .


Aredhran has a point here. Wouldn't be nice to have broken links everywere . Also it would be nice to extend it to the private messages also. If there is a way to retrieve them from the old system it would be nice if possible. I know that this would mean some extra and hard work but as I said it would be nice.


Another problem I noticed is in the members area where some users appear twise with different total posts number.

Thanks for restoring the GL

Sorry, I must be stupid, but I see posts here about non-counting of OT posts and restrictions upon post length. Can you give me a URL to see the definitive new rules .

What does subscribing to a forum do? I subscribed to the Civ 3 suggestions forum and expected to be emailed when there was a change there but it doesn't do it. It only does it if you subscribe to individual threads.

Subscription apparently keeps a list of your favourite forums in your control panel...

Something like saying bookmarks or favorites. Yeah right, there are so many forums around here that it makes sense . Useful feature !

Fortunately or unfortunatelly most people are using Internet Explorer so better have less people with problems (Netscape) than more (IE) .

Mozilla is not Netscape. Mozilla is an OpenSource browser that's under development for over a year and should be about done in a couple of months. The fact that some Netscape employees are on the Mozilla team doesn't mean they are the same. Netscape 6 has been out for some time, which is based on Moz 0.8 code plus their own stuff.

I use Mozilla because it sticks to W3C standards. IE doesn't, that's why it's bad.

Which Mozilla is based on the previous versions of Navigator...
Like saying that Linux isn't Torvalds'...

But I think you've got my point anyway. The same problems might occur in other web browsers as well.

I used to use Nescape's browser myself but it just didn't make it. Can't stick to it just because it was a great one once. And IE follows the W3C standards. It just uses some additional features too which happens some web designers to uses them in their web pages.

Ehh... Is it possible I lost some posts in the upgrade? I'd swear I had close to 850 posts, now I only have about 800... Normally I don't give a damn about post count, but I wanna have a custom avatar!
Since I don't post too often losing 50 posts is quite a lot, it will take me weeks longer to get to 1000 now

Other than that, great job on the upgrade, I love it

there was a recount of posts on all members, perhaps that's it....

perhaps you could help with the ctp1/2 avatars....

[Locutus]

A recount?! Well, in that case I demand a manual recount! And if the result isn't to my liking, another one, and another, and another, until my postcount is back on it's old level

Seriously though, how could a recount change my postcount? Does that mean I had a mysterious addition to my postcount in the past? Or are some of my posts in threads that have been deleted?

Help with CtP avatars? Sure, I'll email God to see if he can make the days last 50 hours instead of 24. If he complies, I should have some time for that Until then, it's all SLIC and AI editing for me (oh, and some schoolwork, if I have the time).

Congratulations everyone. I must say the forums are incredibly slow, and where the hell:
1. Is the Staff Room?
2. My rights?
It won't let me stick threads in my forums, e.g.

Your rights have been recalled!

Well, I hope you will get them back soon because we need some topics on the top .

you dont need to do them yourself. you can always find somebody else to do it

Avatar problem...

I have made a new avatar, but when I go to change my avatar I get the following:

vBulletin Message
ADMINISTRATOR: You MUST revert your modifyoptions template.

And no way to change my avatar...what does this mean?

[Dr.Oogkloot]

Not sure this is the right thread for this, but I'm not sure I'd want my username and birthday displayed on the forum front page.
Any easy ways to settle this?
