Houstan we have a problem. You need to fix the permissions if you haven't got tons of PMs about it  :rolleyes:
Title: Re: Okay...
Post by: Tonks on Aug 08, 2005, 11:44 AM
Yeah.. I kinda don't like not having permission to anything but Toaster, M0rons and nS`T and the Garbage Forums when I'm logged on.

It hurts me eyes. And yeah like Tonks I can't figure out what I have to do to be a memeber on the rest of the forum.  :ph34r: (I'm going to be addicted to this smilie forver :D)

Title: Re: Okay...

Yeah, permissions got fucked in the move I guess... Lots of people who NEVER post took great pleasure in bitching at me about it. I appreciate little fake hackers exploiting my forum, and people shooting me down when I try something to fix it.

Well, the layout is a bit awkward at first, but it's still a very good forum :P

I still need to find a decent layout ; the font is too small on those I find, and it gets pretty confusing..

I got in mail in the 'noon saying I got a PM from my ex, I want to stay friends, she'll think I ignore her etc etc I CAN'T VIEW IIIIITT!!!!!

EDIT : I found them, but when I want to read them, I get this DUMBASS error :

"An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry, you can't read your personal messages."

If I wasn't French I'd scream "FUCK YOU BOARD", but instead it will be "SALOPERIE DE FORUM À LA CON" >_>

On the smilie note:  Why is - _ - (without spaces) this? -_-
Title: Re: Okay...

Post by: AtheistFury on Aug 08, 2005, 05:25 PM
Whoa, I didn't even know how accustomed I've been to the old forum... Ah well, this one isn't bad I guess. And the theme is pretty much OK, just replace this failure-smilies with the old ones (http://profane.zidev.com/img/sig/chytry.GIF).   Except maybe  :ph34r:
Yeah. And what's this glow thing that ain't working in my Opera and makes me run IE just to find out :o
EDIT: Bleh, glow only works in IE... And thanx for the smilies, kiwi!  :kiwi10:  :harticon001: :harticon01:

I like these new ones: :blush: :kiwi01:  :kiwi16:

Edit: What the heck?  I tried to post and get some stupid message saying "While you were writing, two other posts have been added.  You may wish to review your post before submitting."  No, I want to submit it.  What I have to say is always worth posting regardless of what anyone else has said.  Stupid message board...  :glare:

The old board was vulnerable to exploits which were publicly posted on the web -- it was really just a matter of time ;p

Also, Invision power board costs money to install and upgrade ; we were running an unlicensed version, I don't know how legal we were up until now...

Anyway, not wanting to pay, I just used a conversion tool and switch to this system ; it's not a million times better, it's just a forum like so many others, but it gets the job done, and it's free ^^

In fact this lets you create HTML table rows and cells, respectively. But you need to place the tags inside [ table ] [/ table ] tags. And also you should mind the proper nesting (TD inside TR inside TABLE). Find any HTML tutorial to learn about tables if you're interested.

I really like this new forum better then the old one. It is constructed much better then the other.
Simple things like"quote" going into the quick reply box, or when you hit "bold" it doesn't take you to a popup to do it.

Obly problem is that spell check doesn't work right for me... using firefox.
Title: Re: Okay...
Post by: kiwibonga on Aug 11, 2005, 05:50 PM
Spell check doesn't seem to do anything... You probably need the free spellchecking plugin which only exists on IE for the moment... But it's odd that it doesn't auto download it ;f
