Also for some reason it wouldnt let me attach a 29kB image, but also when you reply to a u2u there is a checkbox saying reply and delete u2u. I check the box but the u2u isnt deleted.

Apart from all that, I tend to agree with Andrew, this is heaps better than phpBB ;)

Combined all the threads


Hi there,

I've combined all the threads into one. That way I can track them all.

Please report problems with this software here. The easy bugs will be fixed this weekend. The harder bugs... later.

Ok so i was wrong about memory usage in the task manager window :) Im running XP, and Opera uses about 36000K, IE uses about 35000K. Memory use does not change with number of pages you have loaded in either program. What I probably should have said was I think IE uses more resources (not just memory). From my own experiences IE would be a lot laggier and slower when you have about 8 pages open or so compared to opera. This would be more pronounced on slower computers as well.

lets see from bottom first
the blue scale is a % of how far to the next title under your name
example=your only just been promoted to wolfsburg elder thats why you are on 3% with 97% to go for next title

the green scale is a guess the second number is how many post you looked at & the first is how many you replied too=5391 post looked at 1001 post replied too

the red scale is duh i forgot

p.s. the fourth scale which is invisible explains my dribbling

im having heaps of trouble with the forum since upgrade.

while the cetred text thing is fixed, I am having trouble with attached images. A lot of the time, I just cant see them. From reading others posts, I think the pics ARE indeed being posted. when I go to edit the post it says the file has been downloaded heaps of times.

I've got the problem in IE and firefox and netscape.

It seems so random, sometimes attachment is there, sometimes not.

And sometimes links arent showing as links, image urls arent showing as images... its just wierd.

Since the loading of this software, I find that the topic activity is simply too small a list and the topics vanish off the list very quicly. This makes it a bit hard to keep track of topics that i have not added as favourites.

Secondly, whenever I reply to a post and click the email reply checkbox, I am never replied to via email now.

Help!

Yer, I reckon that the amount of topics retained in the "topic activity" would have to be settable.
The older software kept a huge list of old topics. Im not suggesting that many but it would be very handy to have the last weeks topics rather than the current day or so.

The forum still refuses to email me of a watched topic reply tho and this i find really irritating.
