I dislike the font, too tall and cramped for me, is there a way to change?. Other than that site is fine.

no way
Pleaaaseeee? Sigs that are several lines of text (abz's for exmple) and youtube videos are much bigger than 100px. Plus, my anti-hate steppa is illegible at that size!!!! :cry: I propose a 250px limit.


On another note, the blank space after the text of each post/sigs seems to be taking up a lot of room. I would recommend cutting off one line for faster scrolling.

Yes Jello,

It appears my account was deleted in the transfer.

I just created a new account with my old user name?

I had a few useful links and communications in my pm inbox, are they now lost?

THX for any help you can render.

I wrote some detailed descriptions of how to do some stuff, and it would be a waste if all that was lost, actually. :cry:

Any response from tech doods?

Well elsewhere I have seen them say that they are looking into recovering PM's etc - you should PM a mod yourself to make yourself known - but also that its likely impossible to recover for some reason which is beyond my understanding.

I can't post - is that a bug? Edit: Woho! It worked. I've been trying to post many a times now, but have always gotten the message; "your post contained too few characters", even though a few of them have been a couple of paragraphs long.

You can change that in FF settings under "tools>options>tabs".

Limits on the size of signatures. Some people have multiple massive images that reduce the post count per page considerably. It would make it look alot tidier if there was a uniform size

Thanks!

1. There are limits in signatures: 250 characters, max 3 links, max image 250px width and 70px height, max 100% font size.

2. Links are NOT going to opened in new tabs. This requires massive template editing and most users don't feel ok with it. Just press the middle mouse link in Firefox, when clicking a link, or Shift+click in IE.

3. Server speed has been restored, it was a database issue, after installing a MOD.

4. Quick Reply has been installed, it will need a little fine-tuning in design.

5. Other design issues/changes are under way, but we are asking here for suggestions on functionality and bugs, not the design/smilies/graphics (that will change).

6. Tits are bigger.

7. About sub-forums RSS, we will see, nothing promised.

8. A FEw posts are gone, because th emigration script could not replicate their data to the new version. Nothing that can be done about this, as it would have to be done manually, for every post and assign the post to a user/date/forum ID, manually. Let alone find the post first, in the 1.5GB database. Would need days, not going to happen. for individuals having issues regarding their accounts, messages, posts, usernames not displaying ok, etc please submit private messages. We will fix as many of them as we can.

9. We will try to implement also the Rich Text editor, a MOD for photos (will see it in action) and SEO.

Please submit a private message including:
- Your old username
- Your new username
- How many posts estimated you belive you have lost
The only thing we can do is assign the posts to your new account, if they are found in the database.
