New site

[UK Redsox]

Still don't like the red warning that comes up if someone else has posted to a thread while I'm typing

It is easily amended in your profile as already advised Redsox. Did this last night and all fine for me now

I didn't look at this thread again after my original post of yesterday. Something must have distracted me.

I've changed the setting now. However, I don't like the fact that I had to "tick a negative" to do it. A "tick box" should relate to a positive statement IMO

eg "Show warnings ........" rather than "Don't show warnings............"

Oh - where did the Recent Posts panel suddenly go ? I was finding that quite useful...

It's under the 'Adverts' block (well it is on mine).

It's back now - it was missing for a while. Might have been my dodgy connection not pulling the whole page down...

When I post a reply, or quote a reply, the panel goes off-screen to the right by about 14 characters and I cannot see what is being written.

I don't know whether this has happened to anybody else.

Could it be a browser problem. I am on my work's ancienct IE6 browser.

Any chance we could be able to hide the 'News' sections?

[Comrade Blitz]

I sent someone a message this morning and it is not shown in my sent messages folder. Does the PM feature still use an outbox and then a sent items box?

Was just trying to find a way of doing this too.

I think the Statement by Randy Lerner that currently appears at the top of the thread and just below » Heroes & Villains » Announcements » Post reply ( Re: New site ) is appropriate at the moment, but having it appear on every screen twice is a bit annoying. I'm sure it's just another of martin's many WIPs however.

If we were to keep one as default, I prefer the one adjacent to Heroes Links and embedded in the box. Would mean much less wasted space at the top of the screen.

Just found where I can change options to 'return to this topic' and get rid of the quick reply box too. Very happy.

When sending a PM you have to tick the box to save the message, it dosen't save it automatically

In the top right hand corner (to the right hand side of the Heroes & Villains logo) you will see some faint arrows - try clicking them.

It does indeed, although it also hides my user name and the options to show the unread posts since last visit and new replies to your posts. Hmmmm, decisions, decisions.

I assumed the little minus above the notification box that remains might remove the second "Login Problems" message but that actually removes all the banners on the left-hand side of the page. Hmmmm, further decisions, decisions.

What I was actually coming back in to ask (and suspect I might have asked this years ago on another version of the forum) was whether there's any way for you of forcing the username to appear directly above their individual quote as opposed to all at the start of a quoted conversation? I assume not and that it's one of the software's few evils, but thought I'd ask all the same.

Oh and any idea why when quoting the end quote command always appears on the line after the last bit that's been typed? It doesn't appear to have the same effect as in the forum's last incarnation and quotes do seem to be a lot tighter and cleaner so far, but was just something else I noticed.

I am looking at including the replies/posts since last visit information in the 'user info' box in the left hand panel, as l want the top of the forum just to have the banner in.

Correct.

Yes it's part of the software.

Agin it's part of the software.

I see that others have posted Youtube vids but I still get just the html code when I post one.

Do I need to change some settings ?
