Holodoc Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 One further suggestion: Is it possible to include the date of the first post of a thread in the overview? I found this at another forum: Sorry, but it's a german forum. The 3rd column shows the general title (bolded), the title of the topic, the date of the first post and underneath the name of the topic's starter. The 4th column shows the date and time of the last reaction to it, underneath the name. 5th column is the number of total replies and 6th number of total views. Sometimes I read the title of a topic and don't know if this is an old topic or not. Adding the date of starting the topic helps a lot to determine wheter I should click or not.
def Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 the new code policy to show pics and links live as you put them in is great... Unless you do long complex image posts as I do In which case, I usually post one or two pics, then copy and paste them and then change the number, rather than copy paste each individual pic. So, is there a way to turn this option off when making posts?
Shadows Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 So, is there a way to turn this option off when making posts? In "My Settings", under "Posting Settings", uncheck "Enable visual (RTE) editor?"
def Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 In "My Settings", under "Posting Settings", uncheck "Enable visual (RTE) editor?" Very crafty... Very, very crafty.
RileyC Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Wow! You can change the skin of the generic skin now! Thats pretty sweet!
The Crazy One Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Sorry if this has already been answered ( 13 pages is a lot to read you know ) but how do we find our post percentage? I have looked everywhere. PS Please don't humiliate me if the answer is simple and I have been stupid....
Big Cam Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Wow! You can change the skin of the generic skin now! Thats pretty sweet! I was just going to post this. Its a sweet feature, but I personally like how the board switches your theme for you depending onwhere you are. Should the reviewers academy skin be an option like that, or is it just an option for me since I have access there? Sorry if this has already been answered ( 13 pages is a lot to read you know ) but how do we find our post percentage? I have looked everywhere. PS Please don't humiliate me if the answer is simple and I have been stupid.... It looks like it no longer shows you inyour profile. You'll now have to search your posts and use the advanced search, so you can narrow them down to one forum. Then add them up and divide by your total posts.
Rick Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Should the reviewers academy skin be an option like that, or is it just an option for me since I have access there? Nope, I see it too. I don't use it either, but I could be useful to people from the Southern hemisphere since the default banner is based on Northern hemisphere summer or winter.

Oh I agree, the customization option is cool, I was just wondering if the RA one was suppose to be available for all. Something funny, if you choose the IP board one, it lines up tags vertically, ironically shadows tags don't change since he has so many joined together.
Big Cam Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 I have a request. I only thought of it now while playing a new mafia game. Can the option to shopw the users current time in their profile be re-enabled? It's really nice for mafia games because you can have an idea if someone is sleeping or not. It used to show up in their profile as users current time.
Shadows Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Can the option to shopw the users current time in their profile be re-enabled? I don't think we disabled that, I think they took it out completely. I'll look into it, I wouldn't mind seeing that return as well.
Siegfried Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Something funny, if you choose the IP board one, it lines up tags vertically, ironically shadows tags don't change since he has so many joined together. Funny? For you maybe, it was annoyance for me as I had to tweak the templates so the board looked as similar to the old as possible! Interestingly you can see the names we gave for the skins. I was one one who called the base skin "EB DEFAULT SE" 'cos I think it's funny. (Special Edition. ) I'm relieved that we didn't pick any more colourful names! At the moment the "EB DEFAULT SE" skin is just the structural changes, and aside from that it's the same as what come with the board. Since it can be accessed I'll changed it a bit later so it's an actual skin. For those that are interested the skins are a tree format; if you change something in a lower "branch" the upper ones reflect it unless it's been changed there first. That's why "Train" is a sub skin of "Town"; they share the Classic-Town link in the banner. Cool eh?
Shadows Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 For those that are interested the skins are a tree format; if you change something in a lower "branch" the upper ones reflect it unless it's been changed there first. It's also why EB Default SE even appears in the list, it can't be disabled from the menu without disabling all of it's children in the process. Would you like it very generically skinned? I can do that fairly quickly with an old banner and one of my existing skins.
Big Cam Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 I don't think we disabled that, I think they took it out completely. I'll look into it, I wouldn't mind seeing that return as well. Thanks shadows, it is honestly one of the things I miss the most.
Shadows Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Since it can be accessed I'll changed it a bit later so it's an actual skin. Happy Halloween! Or not. Stupid thing tried to take over all the other skins in the process... Still, I couldn't see losing it, so Halloween_Old is now in the list.

JimBee Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Over time, I've noticed that my posts have somehow become longer (to scroll through) than normal. I just realized that I've been actually using two spaces instead of one when I hit "enter" in my posts. To avoid wasted and unnecessary space to scroll through, I edit my posts and backspace one space. It looks fine in the post box, but when I finish editing, the space no longer exists between two paragraphs. So I have to go back and edit for a second time, which finally does the trick and has only one space between lines. I know it's a small thing compared to everything else going on with the new board, but I'm wondering if there's anything that can be done about it so I don't have to edit twice every time I post, or if there's something I'm doing that's causing it. Any help would be appreciated. Also, another interesting little thing I found was that in my posts, when I use the number one more than once, the first one I use has a different font than the following ones. It's only in my post box, and it's normal once I post, but I thought it was an interesting little factoid.
Shadows Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 I just realized that I've been actually using two spaces instead of one when I hit "enter" in my posts. Are you using the RTE (rich text editor)? I've never heard of this (or the different fonts with one problem) before, so maybe it's that? I don't use it, so I'm not overly familiar with it. I know it's a small thing compared to everything else going on with the new board Is there stuff going on with the new board? I was under the impression that everyone had adjusted pretty well at this point and it was just little things left to get used to.

I don't use it, so I'm not overly familiar with it. Yes, actually, I am. I'll turn it off for this post and see what happens. That's odd, though, that one enter in the post box would be two in the actual post. EDIT: I think it worked. I'll let you know if it didn't though, since this edit might've changed something. Too bad, though, the RTE was pretty nice to have. Is there stuff going on with the new board? I was under the impression that everyone had adjusted pretty well at this point and it was just little things left to get used to. Oh. Well I guess it has been a while since the change, but I had thought the admins were still hard at work with behind-the-scenes tweaking and things like that. Not that everything isn't working perfectly now.
JCC1004 Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) I can't seem to find the skin change options. Is it still around or am I missing it? Any help? Thanks in advance. Best Regards, JCC EDIT: I found it. Wonderful option. I love it! Edited July 5, 2010 by JCC1004
Shadows Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 EDIT: I think it worked. Excellent. I had thought the admins were still hard at work with behind-the-scenes tweaking and things like that. Oh yes, of course, we're all hard at work here. *hides the mojitos* Yep, working hard. I can't seem to find the skin change options. Is it still around or am I missing it? Any help? Thanks in advance. EDIT: I found it. Wonderful option. I love it! It's a fun little toy.
prateek Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 I liked the Shadows theme, but I can't seem to find it anymore...
Ricecracker Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 I just noticed that the default font for the fast reply in the messenger is different from the default used throughout the rest of the forum. Is it on purpose?
