@ Mr. Sleep:

Now, you didn't "shout" publicly, "It seems something doesn't work properly", did you? Of course not. Dah! :rolleyes:

Who's new and old

The only thing thats missing is the member number (eg. mine was 1516, Thorins was 1222, Sleepys was 105...).

It's great! :)

If I could post some constructive feedback...
  • I miss the old smilies. ;)
  • Old quotes show "< STRONG >" tags where text used to be bold.
  • The HEIGHT and WIDTH of images is not set, which (I believe) causes pages to display text only after fully loading some images (most apparent in the "user cp - register - calendar - f.a.q. - search - home" line), and causes the page to "deform" for some time while all the images load.
Edit: Oh, and the "go to first unread post" button often takes me a couple of posts too far. This could be the result of me being online for too long (is that possible?).

If i recall my HTML correctly (which i should since it is my job :D ) it also slows down load times since the browser has to wait for a response as to how large the images are, rather than being told specifically :)

Buck, I like the new forum very much. I often used to have problems with the old one loading slowly (56K), this one one much faster, which is a major improvement. I also like the new features Who's online, the colour choices for posts and voting of threads.

However, I do miss the old smilies, they were much more expressive since they had different colours. I also don't like that maximun lenght of PM:s is 1000 chars, but if this improves board speed, I think the tradeoff is worth it.

In all, a very nice improvement Buck :)

Would it be possible to have an auto-resend on PM's when a persons box was full?

You can do this yourself in your profile, under edit options: "Use 'Email Notification' by default?" just set this one to no :)

It is very frustrating, when there is no moderators around, when you need questions answered. Especially, when you are new and want to know a few things.

ya, member # was cool i guess, but i think that having the date is much better, and the member # was kind of pointless because so many people who have registered never post. have you ever thought of getting rid of those un-posting people buck?

Pardon me, AR. I don't think those non-posting member should be removed. Removing non-posting member will make a certain gap upon regular posting member, non regular posting member and non-posting member :)

Forgive me to be blunt, in short sentence the option kinda sounds "absurd"
I'm not dead yet :D :p :cool:
