Holy Shit - SMF

[sSopris]

"Holy crap, where the freak am I?" was my first reaction

[benmachine]

EDIT: Spelling.  Need the edit reason mod...

Always seemed redundant to me. Who reads the things?

About the upgrade:
Karma system: good. Banhammer on mods: very good. I can see the coming weeks being a lot of fun.
Style: hm. A bit blue and washed-out. Nothing a quick bit of firefox plugin wizardry won't fix.

To those who took the opportunity to have another underhanded jab at the devs: you suck more than words can say.

I do.

Oh words can say, just not within the limits of civilised society.

Someone please get rid of the fucking scrollbars in posts!

[jr2]

O.o  .. what scrollbars?

[Odin]

Look at David's post above mine.

Also, we need Fast Reply!

[jr2]

Fast Reply:  Check your Profile settings, "under Look and Layout Preferences", turn "show quick-reply" option to "On by default" (1st thing I did).

Scrollbars:  There aren't any... are you running at 640x480, or is your browser resized to half window size, or what?  Which browser you using?

[Odin]

SMF makes scrollbars on posts that are over two lines long. They don't look like they're useful either.

Are you sure about that?
Because, I've been using SMF for about 2 years now.
And, I haven't seen this problem.
In fact, the only time I ever see a scrollbar is if there are [code][/code] tags, or oversized pictures, in a post.
What do you mean?
Can you take a screenshot, using the PrtScrn button, and upload the picture to www.tinypic.com ?
Because, as you can see, this post is well over two lines long... and I can see the whole thing on my screen.
Do you want me to post a screenshot of what I see?

[leilei]

>_< had to reregister

[Odin]

Screen resolution is 1280x1024.

It also does it for Hard Light's forum, which is SMF too.

[leilei]

That's a feature

Scrollbars even for large avatars exist

Daaaaayum, you've got everything but a nail clipper and a corkscrew on that thing.

// Ever played the Ur-Quan Masters?  I had a nice spot of fun with that space sim (though the time limit dealie really annoyed me).
// Can't say I ever tried FreeSpace, though.  I'll have to take a look.

[durand]

Ahhh, SMF, good work

[Odin]

What point would it serve if the posts already scale to the post length?

[tuple]

I have scrollbars.  They don't seem to be moveable.  I really don't care though.  They take up a fraction of the screen space all that crap jr2's has installed gobble up

Personally, I like the new forums.  You can turn off images, signatures, avatars, many of which were an extreme annoyance on the previous boards.  More options, mod tools are better...  If I dig deep for a complaint, I'd say that it would be nice to have skin options, but I gotta dig real deep for that.  The present skin is pleasant and readable, if a little bright in a dark room

Timbo and anyone else that may have been involved, much appreciation and thanks.  And that extends beyond the new forums.

:p  Some of us have nice monitors... If I want space, I press F11 and: (and, I have a 2nd monitor with the same rez!)

EDIT: Ann: take a look at my signature for a Walkthrough for setting up FS2: Source Code Project.

Answer me this: what the hell is going on here

edit: it works now. but for that brief moment where it didn't, it looked very odd.

[David]

It loaded the pic as position:absolute.  My guess is only some of the css had loaded, or you have old stylish / GM scripts designed for the old forums.

EDIT:  I now have motivation to make a cool new theme.  By doing so I can forcibly remove that travesty below my name, the 'Posts: leet' counter.

That happened to me as well. I just reloaded the page and it worked right though...

That happens in SMF if the page isn't completely loaded (usually happens to me if I'm uploading & downloading @ max speed while trying to view forum pages, or if I'm having Internet connection issues).  And, yeah, the fix is to reload the page.

avatar imgz

this was mine:

[Odin]

Just disable the post scrollbars for all browsers with CSS.

[gareth]

i have a new icon next to every thread, even ones ive read repeatedly.

[Lava Croft]

Your browser is not properly refreshing the page?

seems to be working a bit more correctly now. :/

another thing ive noticed is that suddenly everyones email is visible, even though they were hidden before (and chosen by users to be hidden)

[Geni3]

What is mine? I chose it to be hidden. But I don't really care, it the email I use for all forums/games and never check it on my main computer.

[player1]

Suggestion: Turn avatars back on, but make sigs appear only once per page (or per thread even).

Yeh? Neh? Meh?

(Vote Yeh!)

[jr2]

Hmm.  Maybe that would work...
