Is there anything on the forum that isn't working? I heard someone say something about the avatars. Just want to make sure it's good to go. Post any problems here and I'll look into them.
Also, should newer posts be on top? Some prefer either, but it can be confusing too.
Newer posts on top is far too confusing since most forums don't use this forum. As far as I can tell, they're fine the way they are as of now except for maybe some things that could be added but not needed.
The Avatar thing is just a little confusing, not broken.
I had no trouble uploading my avatar.
Also (mostly directed at Fraggot) the threads appear in chronological order for me. Not sure if I manually put it that way though, I did change the number of posts per page so I at least looked at the setting.
Yeah, about that, I kind of did that for you. You had uploaded it as your profile picture.Quote:

Hmm, that's odd. It was there instantaneously after I had uploaded it.Quote:

Either way, I guess that means that there's something wrong with the user permissions.
It's no priority issue if you'd ask me, but on the other hand it should be easy to fix in a matter of seconds.
FIXED IT! There was some weird permissions issue. Everyone should be good now.
Just checked the setting, and I can confirm it works (and yes, this time i'm looking at the options for my Avatar instead of profile picture ^^; )
Yeah, everything seems just fine as of now.
Moderator badges are now active...
Thank KC, looks awesome. And we have colors! YAY!Quote:

you can take that as a complement though KC you have to many people looking at the site
Not sure if this is broken, or working as intended, but I can't seem to use my XBL gamertag image in my signature, but StepLaugh can (not sure if that is because he is an almighty mod, or not).
he could have uploaded it differently then how your trying too.
i havent tried using a sig yet but you might need a certain type of code for the link. like [img] etc.
yeah, I tried using the img tags, using the html img src= and nothing seemed to work. I kept on getting linked text.
I even dug into the source code of the page to see if there was any indication in there to what was different, and it appears as HTML once it's submitted, so that didn't give me any clues to go on either.
Just got off the phone with our server. We've been overloading it. woo. Since the 15th of last month we've pushed over 11 terabytes of data out of their lines... oops...
We'll be looking into placing the forum and the podcast onto two possible servers over the next few months to try and maximize things, but that might take some time.
Nah guys I had it working before I was a mod. Go to www.mygamercard.net and make which one you want, and you have to copy and paste the BBC code to your signature. it's not flash, but still it's pretty cool. Let me know if that doesnt work.Quote:

11TB, gosh! Is this the first time it's been over loaded? And does it only happen on mondays if not?Quote:

the img tags are universal BBC codes, and should work (and do in regular posts, just not in the signature box)HTML Code:[url=http://profile.mygamercard.net/stevemckenna79][image]http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/mini/SteveMckenna79.png[/image][/url]
Oh. I see how it is. Shun the We're Not Dead host. Mhhmmm.Quote:

that's what I did, except I put my GT.
Change the ( and ) with [ and ]

I'm wondering if it has to do with when the account was maybe created, if settings were changed during that time period. That's what I get for waiting to create my profile over here.
It is nice, isn't it. GOSH!Quote:

When editing your signature, it clearly says HTML, [IMG] and a few other things are disabled. Moderators and Admins generally have a different set of permissions, hence why they can use images in their signature.
Personally I'm a fan of disabling images in signatures. It tends to make the forums cluttered, chaotic, and every now and then someone uses a way to tall picture (stretching the page without adding any value). But it's not my call - just pointing it out.Quote:

Oh look at that, a custom badge... I can only moderate so fast ;)Quote:
