QUOTE(Magik5 @ Feb 17 2010, 08:27 AM)  If you look at the bottom of the forums there is as a link called "todays active topics" - it displays the threads active in believe or not, the last day  your post is in thereomg ^^ lolz i've never scolled down that far before ah anyway can this command be put at the top of the forum next to control panel etc?? so it's a bit more accessible. (my scroll wheel plays havok with my rsi) oh yeah on another completely unrelated sidenote/issue i'm finding it very hard to reply to/create new posts, the white text input box is unselectable in firefox 3.6, but works fine in the generic M$ IE, could there be a option i'm missing in my FF settings that is stopping me from using it? -------------------- WIP...

hmmm... I wonder if this was the same issue lawpf was having. That being said I'm using 3.6 as I type this
Will start looking at the browser specific code on the website. --------------------  |

Co-incidentally:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.ph...8&t=1722835 Seems to be a common problem introduced by Firefox 3.6, rather than any of my jiggery-pokery on this board. A workaround for the moment (apart from using IE, is to go to your forum control panel and set the text editor from "rich text editing" to "basic" or soemthing along those lines. Meanwhile I'll be dissembling apart the text_editor_func file to see if I can update it. The patch suggested by invision (2.3.6) doesn't work and they're suggestion on upgrading to v3 sent me into a mini tirade  Since I'll update this in the fly, you might see some funny goings on with the replies button today as I'm modifying things

I'm running 3.6 too and find sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Looks like fast reply or anything using fast reply works whereas new topics and normal replies shouldn't
Either way, I've chucked together a temporary workaround so you shouldn't have problems replying/making posts... will need to properly look into the code when I get a chance. And a big fuck you to IPB for suppliying a .js file with no formatting (big block of text). Fuckers. -------------------- |

Well if anyone now has any issues posting replies etc., let me know.
Regarding this Forum Version IPB version 2 (this site) goes out of support in July 2010. The version 3 is more expensive, complex and frankly shit compared to this one in pretty much every way, In v3, none of the old skins or mods e.g. the shoutbox work without heavy recoding and frankly most of the custom skins i've seen are just css colour changey ones. Already seen quite a few flaws in the security (mostly code injections) so can't think of a good reason to update for security concerns. The site has been tweaked so much over previous years that half their current updates and patches don't work here anyway (such as their patch for the rich text editing above) where the js had already been sanitised to remove some potentially bad html being chucked out (and I note their patches js released recently didn't even address this) The usual forums alternatives apply: phpbb and vbulletin. At the moment I can't see any reason to change forum when IPB reaches end of life -------------------- |

me neither - ive always thought they do the same thing anyway but most sites insist on using horribly digusting colour combinations which just looks ghey. This site's forum tends to be the more visually appealing ive seen in a minimalistic kind of way - only thing that should change imo is that forum header image
<insert giant dig at r6's shitty shoutbox here> -------------------- |

i also think the forum header needs a refresh, but i do like the groovy monkey so i don't wanna lose that
maybe one of our more artistic members can photoshop up something or if there are a few members maybe a compo?? winner gets to have their banner displayed and gets a special "mute cobolt" button to be used as and when for a month ^^ -------------------- WIP...

ahh go on then... although I should just make a point that the rather BC2 themed logo does not imply any change of direction to BC2 as a main game
like it in general.. apart from the font.... may as well of just used comic sans grumble grumble... -------------------- |
