Martin, my pm facility doesn't seem to be working. When I enter the receivers name and then move down to the subject box the name appears below the receivers box with a red square and x in it. This happens when receiver is either online/offline. Its doin my nut in.
Any ideas what I'm doin wrong?

I'm pretty sure that's normal.

Have you tried actually sending the PM?

Nothing.

As Legion said "nothing" that is how it is supposed to work, by dropping the name below it allows you to send the same message to another user by entering their name. The red x deletes the name if required.

Ah, righto thanks for the response. The pms don't show up in my sent box though so I dont know if they hae been sent hence confusion.

PM's are not saved automatically, you have to check the 'save to sent' (or whatever it says) under the box where you are typing your PM.

Ok. Thanks for the updates.

Is it possible to change the way the 'quote' thing works? I ask as it's slightly annoying at the moment that the post you want to quote appears in the quick reply box rather than the full reply option and therefore putting a link or putting something in bold or italics is a pain.

Plus it may stop many of the errors appearing when people type in a space not realising there is more to the original post and thereofre their reply reply appears halfway through the quote.

It's a setting in your profile. The downside is the quick reply box is not obvious then.

The setting is under the Look and Layout and there is an option on Use Quick Reply on Topic Display. Set it to show but off by default and you when you quote the old quoting style returns. Can still make mistakes there though of course.

So it is. So it does. Thanks

Any chance we that the "Share" (with Facebook, Twatter, etc) can be got rid of or at least moved somewhere not between the posts and the file path? It keeps causing my browser to temporarily lock up.

I agree, when I move my mouse from the forum button to try and select a thread it buggers it up!

What browsers are you using?

[Chris Harte]

IE7 at work.

Firefox at home isn't so bad.
