OK, so now I’ve paid my 595 mini-sheckels and that makes me entitled to kibitz or kvetch, right? (Just kidding) I’ve politely waited, but there is a limit…
RE: Smilies
This happened at the version 2->3 changover. The smack, wally, dubious and happy othodox jewish man smilies do not display on my screen (IE 6 shows a box with a red “x” and text for the icon’s name). All others look OK, although their sickly yellow color is depressing (I know, I know, I’ll talk to my therapist). Since the missing ones are all custom, and the good ones are VB defaults, that would seem to be a clue as to the problem. FYI, I am using IE 6.0 on a PC – haven’t tried another computer or browser.
RE: Significance of colors and bolding
In my CP, New Subscribed Threads page, I have blue bold, blue not bold, gray bold and gray not bold text for the thread titles. I am a little confused as to what these each mean, and do they indicate something different from the envelope icons (closed, open, and whatever)?
RE: Options
My “Include Sig Line option” defaults to ON (looks like Lynn’s does, too, from her snappy sig!). I would like to make the default OFF, but I can’t find an option in the CP to do that. There used to be one in 2.x, I believe – is that gone forever?
RE: Quick Post box
Yet another request to hack that code, tote that barge to get our Quick Reply box back.
RE: Moderators list by forum
Just another request that we can see the mods for each forum. It’s a useful detail. Is that no longer a vB option?
RE: Neato! A way to link to and show a single post, in a single, new screen. The code appears to be:
…/showpost.php?p=PPPPPP&postcount=NN
where PPPPPP is the post number and NN is the postcount number (from the upper right corner of the post). Note the syntax uses showpost, not showthread. The equivalent display the way we usually see it would be:
…/showthread.php?p=PPPPPP#postPPPPPP
…where both PPPPPP’s have to be the same post number.
