Post Suggestions Here

[bigdawgfoxx]

Just post your suggestion here and the admins will read new post. Please do not discuss things here, just list your suggestion in a simple, easy to read format.

SUGGESTIONS ALREADY POSTED

(Bigdawgfoxx)
-Blue= Old post, Red= New post, Symbols make it more confusing.
-List threads in order of New post to No New post.
-Turn the advanced reply system on as default.
-Rating function is pointless. Make stars for post count, like on IPB.
-Rating function on threads is not a good Idea I dont think either.
-Get rid of 4 character limit on post.

(Rossco)
-allow more images per post (currently only 1 )
-make the sig character limit 600 like it was before.
-avatars should be 80*80 ATLEAST. 50*50 is to small.
-let {I}{K}{E} have more admin permissions as he seems to have the time to do a lot for the forum.

(IKE)
- enable PM system by default
- when members edit a post you will always get a 'warning' @ the end of a post
- Some members get errors when they click on: User CP
- Max size of avatar should be higher then 19,5 kb
- I dont think mods should be allowed 2 ban members.
- Hide postcount from members
- Bring back the board rules.

----
- Hardwired Skin is fucked
- Re-add the Banner
- When you click an invalid link you get a Backup message (try: http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/smilies )
- Make Jetje and NikkiD forum stars instead of members.
- View Forum Leaders link doesnt work

(Zedaxax)
-Go to last post option.
-Link to the main world you came from at the bottom (eg: this should also be at bottom : File Sharing Talk > Announcements & Information > Everything related to this board
-Copy and Paste doesn't always work.

(iMartin)
1)Add new, more appealing skins.
2)Add the arcade.
3)Enable avatars, sigs, and private messages by default.
4)Tweak, customize, and fix the rest of the stuff.

[{I}{K}{E}]

The Icons to the left of the threads are wierd. It should be blue for old post and red for new post or something...all the diff symbols makes it hard.

allready got new once but I cannot upload 2 the server.

Here is my list:


- enable PM system by default
- when members edit a post you will always get a 'warning' @ the end of a post
- Some members get errors when they click on: User CP
- Max size of avatar should be higher then 19,5 kb
- I dont think mods should be allowed 2 ban members.
- Hide postcount from members
- Bring back the board rules.

[silent h3ro]

Please change it so the sticky threads seem more separated from the normal posts. Also, a bigger avatar and signature would be nice. :)

[100%]

Maybe im missing something here but....
1.The grey(ish) section around the user name is extremly wide in relation to the rest - and no it is is not stretchable - make your browser thin an watch what gets compacted

2.When at the bootom of page i have to scroll all the way up to clik the eg.Softwareworld link to get to the refreshed front page of software world.
in old fst there where;
a. Arrows on the side so it auto scrolled to the top
b.Link to the main world you came from at the bottom (eg: this should also be at bottom : File Sharing Talk (http://index.php?) > Announcements & Information (http://forumdisplay.php?f=3) > Everything related to this board (http://forumdisplay.php?f=9)
(i seem to be doing alot of scrolling or did i miss something)

3. it seems for me that Copy and Paste dont seem to work smoothly in this forum : by right cliking - paste ("paste" often is not there) yet if i Ctrl V it pastes.-I think its a Firefox Issue -No this is definetly a Problem

4. I Find it unecessary that there is a
"http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/icons/icon1.gifRe: post suggestion here" above everypost - we know who were replying too - and it causes visual Choas.
or is it me?

[bigdawgfoxx]

I highly agree with hardcore gamer and IKE, and Zedaxax(A lot of people want the link to main page of the forum your in at the bottom, and so do I.)

Sorry bout the bitching earlier..I have just been here forever, with me and my bud, and I guess I got so used to it I couldnt change...but with better organazation and icons, I think it will be great.

[UnbanMeYouF***ers]

The new posts thing http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/buttons/firstnew.gif shows up on threads you have the last post on unless you look at it again.

[bigdawgfoxx]

The new posts thing http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/buttons/firstnew.gif shows up on threads you have the last post on unless you look at it again.

Yeah but it should have all the ones with new post at the top, and the icon on the side should be a diff color then ones without new post...would make it a lot easier.

[Filliz]

-max. images per post is far too low.

[tesco]

I think people should psot stuff then IKE or bigdawg add the suggestions to their posts it makes it easier to know what has already been said.


my suggestions are:

- allow more images per post (currently only 1 :( )
- make the sig character limit 600 like it was before. more would be even better.
- avatars should be 80*80 ATLEAST. 50*50 is to small.
- let {I}{K}{E} have more admin permissions as he seems to have the time to do a lot for the forum.
- make the sig image limit more than whatever it is...i know we used to have atleast 16.
- PM System, viewing of sigs and avatars, and other options enabled by default
- Flood Control set to 20 seconds as it was before. 60 seconds is way to long.

This one isn't that important but i know you'll get a lot of complaining:

- Take out the limit of atleast 7 characters in a post.

[iMartin]

1)Add new, more appealing skins.
2)Add the arcade.
3)Enable avatars, sigs, and private messages by default.
4)Tweak, customize, and fix the rest of the stuff.

[gildan2020]

i agree with bigdawgfoxx about the symbols, they're too confusing
i suggest replacing them with tiny words to indicate wat they are

also, can u add a feature where i can find all my posts...that are grouped in topics (not grouped in posts, pls :))?
that function is very useful to me bcos that's how i check the topics i'm already in


thx,
gildan2020

[krohn]

look in your profile for the link to new threads

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/search.php?do=process&showposts=0&starteronly=1&exactname=1&searchuser=gildan2020

[Keikan]

make the avatar size fair there are people who have avatars like 100x150

[krohn]

THeres an avatar and theres a profile picture. You're allowed a bigger profile picture than an avatar.

[RealitY]

Well Profile dont show where Avatar does and for some reason I cant even link to Avatars theat are beyond 50x50 so how is that some have larger and do you intend to keep it at 50x50 or will it be changed perhaps...

EDIT: Also if anyone gets a chance Ide like to be RealitY again.
The all caps was rather nice to be gone thanks to Entity but now back again.

[gildan2020]

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/search.php?do=process&showposts=0&starteronly=1&exactname=1&searchuser=gildan2020

hi, another suggestion:

currently the Search drop-down on the menubar contains textbox for word searches only. can u expand the drop-down to include searching user posts as well?

i know i can click on Advanced Search to do that, but i feel it would be much easier if u put that outside as well


thx,
gildan2020

[krohn]

avatars are 80x80 and 20Kb. They always have been and I really don't want to increase it since 20Kb bloats the page load times when 10+ people are using 20kb on every page. THEN theres the sigs too.

[Keikan]

then just cut all avatars

[Joakim Agren]

avatars are 80x80 and 20Kb. They always have been and I really don't want to increase it since 20Kb bloats the page load times when 10+ people are using 20kb on every page. THEN theres the sigs too.Hello!

Why do some people have the privilege of having a larger Avatar? J'Pol for instance or Storm?. It would be better if we all could have that size on our avatars it simply looks beeter in the forum layout and gives the members a larger choice in selecting pictures!.

The load time is not affected that much by larger avatars. I doubt that most people are still using dial up on sites about P2P like this!. Especially not for people using IE that uses the almost secret Content.IE5 folder with the dreaded Index.dat file folder that cannot be deleted by emptying the Temp Folder and stores all pictures you view on a site so that they load much faster the next time it is viewed.

Edit! Strange that the background suddenly is grey when writting new posts should it not be white??.

[RealitY]

Seems 80 is big enough although I think it was like 120 before, maybe 100 would be a little better...

User Titles needs 2 be updated current is:

[Barbarossa]

Suggestion: Talk Club shouldn't be a sub-forum of lounge.



Edit: Edits to posts should be date/time stamped...
Edit: That was quick!! :D

[SeK612]

Internetworld

On the main forum view,

Areas: Graphic Design | Web Developm

They loop back the the main index when click though and are not present as a subforum when internetworld is entered...

admincp -> user ranks -> user rank manager / add new user ranks

[SeK612]

allow more images per post (currently only 1 )

admincp -> vBulletin options -> Message Posting and Editing Options -> Maximum Images Per Post/Signature


Rating function is pointless. Make stars for post count, like on IPB.

admincp -> vBulletin options -> User Reputation Options -> Enable User Reputation system -> No

[Joakim Agren]

Hello!

Why do some members have the option to change the title under their username?

I want that Option too! All members should be able to select their own title to whatever they want except moderator,administrator or root and such. I know that on many other forums that uses the Vb script that option is found under the Edit profile in CP but it has not been enabled here yeat for some reason,

I also think that now when the maximum filesize for avatars have been increased slightly it would not hurt if the avatars could be atleast 100X100 pixels in size which is the most common limit on boards on the Internet.

I also found what seems to be a bug but not sure the profile picture(which is allowed to be 100X100 pixels) is not allowed to be any bigger then 0 bytes for some reason all of a sudden so maybe thats a bug(it does not seem to affect profile pictures that members have already uploaded but maybe it will prevent members from uploading new ones I dont know) !.

Also would it not be fun if the Who's Online function was enabled for all members?. It can be contributing to the community feeling since we can check out where members currently are on the forum and what they are currently doing such as posting new thread in Lounge,replying to thread... etc. this function is found at the bottom of the main Index in the box that have the Currently Active Users and by clicking the Currently Active users link we should(if this function was enabled) see where all the active members are doing at the moment it could be fun!. As it is today that feature is prohibited and when clicking the Currently Active Users Link I get the message that I do not have permission to access that page!.

[thewizeard]

Maybe a good time to send an e-mail to all the members, informing them of the changes

[4play]

just a suggestion but have you setup your new server to automaticly backup the database? since its the lack of this feature which is the reason we are in this mess at the minute might be wise to.

[DanB]

I still get an error when trying to access the buddy/ignore list options through user cp

[rookiecrd1]

Well it is setup to back everything up daily. I did let them know I was very pissed and they will now be making sure it is fail proof.

Done.

Brian

[{I}{K}{E}]

Done.

Brian

yup I changed it this morning when i'd seen you updated my options. but I still cannot upload new smilies

[rookiecrd1]

The Images per posts are now set to 4. As for Member stars, I can't figure out how to do this without having to remove the member rankings.

[DanB]

Doesn't for me, could it be perhaps cos I have someone on the ignore list?

[JONNO_CELEBS]

The black box with black text does'nt work, I tried it, it hurts people's eyes, leave the post box white and have black on a different skin :)

Jonno :cool:

[Peerzy]

Can this be increase even more, fdor guides and lounge talk along with funny section pictures are posted in the bakers dozen, i think about 10-15 should be good personally.


@Krohn sig and avatars should be 100kb put together, so people should be able to have 80kb av and 20 kb sig or whattever. its what we had befor and worked very well.

[JONNO_CELEBS]

The Images per posts are now set to 4.
Why? You any idea how annoying that is?
20 man :)

Jonno :cool:

[RGX]

If this hasn't been posted already, please lower the minimum amount of characters needed to post.

Wow, how eloquent was that?

[Joakim Agren]

Why? You any idea how annoying that is?
20 man

JonnoHello!

Agree!

Only 4 images per post thats just to low especially for those PrOn Threads in the Lounge:D!

Give us 20!

And still have not gotten any respons from the admins to my questions or suggestions regarding avatars and some other things, and why only some members have a different title apperaing under their member name. I know it is possible on many other VB forums for all members to write their own title in the profile in CP.

Would it not be great if we all could have avatars in J'Pols size it looks great!:
http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showpost.php?p=864887&postcount=4

Edit! How funny is that! I just received the following error when attempting to post this post:

The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:
You have included too many images in your signature or in your previous post. Please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.

Images include use of smilies, the vB code [img] tag and HTML <img> tags. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator.



What a bummer! Must be fixed ofcourse smileys and sigs should not count towards the maximum images in posts!

[Sparkle1984]

I like the new style of the forum, but the dates on this new VBulletin board are a bit confusing. I think it would be better if the dates of the posts are written out in full, as they were in the old Invision forum, eg: Sep 4 2004.

In this new forum, the dates are written in the format of 08-09-2004, for example. A non-American pronounces that as the 8th of September 2004, whereas an American would pronounce it August the 9th 2004.
As you can tell, this could cause a great deal of confusion amongst different people around the world, yet I could not find a way to change it in my UserCP.
Just thought I would point that out.

[tesco]

How about just make all teh settings (like how many image sin a psot, etc.) set to exactly as we had it before, then work from that?

it shouldn't take as long since you just look at each page of the admin cp and see what needs to be cahnged then do it all at once (for that one page).

[RGX]

Good idea....avatars, smileys and sigs should be on by default otherwise guests or new members browsing this forum are going to think we have a crappy community with no images.

[Peerzy]

Remove that fucking 7 character min post and remove the 60 second between each post (put to 20 thats what we had b4 and was just right) also 20 pictures per post please.

[newcster68]

enable the html feature..that's it for me..
ooh

let us post torrents..BIG TIME..that's why I stopped coming in here cause kazaalite is dead...

by the way this vb board is waaay better except for the smilies

[maskawaih]

nvm....

[RealitY]

I cant see html ever happening here...

[uNz[i]]

Create an option to set member's contact email to private so the "email this member" link isn't displayed on the member profile.
The option was available on IPB, but apparently not VB.

If people want to contact me, they can PM. Email should only be seen by admin imho.

[RealitY]

Agreed...

[uNz[i]]

Heh... Thanks for the agreement RealitY, but ignore my previous post, Mr Admin. Just clicked on the email link in my profile and got this:

Sorry! That user has specified that they do not wish to receive emails. If you still wish to send an email to this user, please contact the administrator and they may be able to help.
Unticking the Receive Email from Other Members checkbox in User CP > Edit Options > Messaging & Notification will disable email from all except admin. Sweet! :D

[RealitY]

I think the format for Titles should be brought back perhaps...
"This Post Is About Crap"

I always thought it looked good having all Titles formatted like that.

[100%]

Could you PLEASE move the "forum Jump" or "(go to)TOP" a little higher underneath the last post of a thread please.

Or put "goto top of page" arrows next to each post

Thanx

(too much scrolling activity for my likeninglies)

Youde have to remove the posting rules there or you could shrink it by clicking that little icon...

[rookiecrd1]

Ok I am reading all the suggestions and hope to get through most of them. some things I have changed:

-Sigs are now 500 characters instead of 400 ( I don't want them too large as this takes space up)

- Turned the reputation system off for now. Not really needed

- Images per post are now 8 instead of 4

- Minimum charactors per post are now 4 instead of 7

- minimum tuime between posts is now 20 seconds instead of 30 seconds

will you ever turn the rep system back on? And its just for fun ne ways right?

[Guillaume]

Search function in the Archives would be nice...

Unless it's already there somewhere I didn't see. :unsure:

[DanB]

If we're about filesharing wouldn't it make sense to have it at the top rather than hidden at the bottom of the forum?

All good except for the sig size...why only 500 characters? We had no problems before with it set to 600 and many people had problems with that little amount for sigs. It's now even lower.

Too many of the annoyances we once had are now worse, i don't like this.

[Afronaut]

Too many of the annoyances we once had are now worse, i don't like this.
I think most of the stuff is still on the works,
as you most likely know.

:D

Personally, I dont think we need huge pics on the sigs+avas, or in the threads,
but thats just me, and that "huge-factor" is quite relative.

:cool2:

[DanB]

I think it was only 500 on the old board :unsure:

Isnt 80x80 on the av's what they were on the old one too?

Thanks for the changes Rookie :01:

T'was 600 on the old board, 80X80 is right and you cannot upload anyhing larger than 80X80 now but people who alreayd have can keep it untill itsd changed.

I have to say its alot of things which have chnged sicne last board which are starting to get nnoying, 8 smilies + pictures per post is killing mehttp://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/smilies/blink.gifhttp://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/smilies/ohmy.gifhttp://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/smilies/bb.gifhttp://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/smilies/sad.gifhttp://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/smilies/blink.gifhttp://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/smilies/unsure.gif Becuase it also includes smilies you qoute.

sorry i havnt been on in FOREVER ive had so much damn homework!

No, they're trying to group stuff together so the forum looks busier, and i guess you'd get more replys to stuff that way.

Hence the Lounge at the top.


See, it has its uses :01:

[SeK612]

It'd be nice to have Everything related to the board as the first forum. That's where it's been for ages and most forums have their news board at the top.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Ok...Just because we got a new forum doesnt mean we have to combine every damn thing. Theres not a limit really...why in the hell our we combining everything making it harder to find? And filesharing talk should be at the top, along with everything related to this board and stuff like that with lounge at the bottm and worlds in between.

http://home.earthlink.net/~bigdawgfox2007/Good%20Switch.JPG
so far the switch aint looking greaaaat...we will see tho

Suggestion i think the lounge and this section should be at the top it looked alot better and seemed more fitting atleast move this section back to the top maybe a polll?

[motherflux]

I like most everything, but when a final default style is settled upon, I'd suggest changing the logo to reflect that color scheme. Redesigning the front page to match would be nice also.

making some of the font sizes (particularly member names) smaller would be nice too, as well as the forum icons.
Just way too big.

And I feel sorry for our forum stars, they've a puss-yellow color. :x

[bigdawgfoxx]

Pink isnt used anymore. green -> Moderator

oh alright thanks..

Have yall made any changes really yet? lol...im just wondering if I should keep complaining or wait

Are the things that you're complaining about fixed. If so stop complaining and say thanks, if they're not fixed then wait a while or ask about their proposed implementaion.

Pretty simple, I'd have thought :blink:

[motherflux]

it just looks so much better with the less kindergarten-ish usernames.

anyone (mozilla/firefox users) can just add this to their userContent


a[class="bigusername"] { font-weight:bold; font-size:1em !important; }

[manker]

Nice one, motherflux.

It does look a whole lot better when the font is smaller. Less is more. I'd certainly approve it it was made the default here, also I think the icons at the side of the worlds and posts are too big.

Let's get a minimalist theme going on :D

[motherflux]

I have a test vB board installed locally.
I can see about possibly working out a theme, and see if administration approves.
though I won't commit to it definitely, so much going on right now...

stop hitting yourself :'(

[bigdawgfoxx]

I havnt seen anything change since the start really...I would also like the member names smaller, like other people have been doing. Putting lounge and ERTF at the top would be nice..

proportionally, 29k is quite large for an 80x80 image.

I didnt notice before I saw the post.

I think there is another way to go also, you could block them google ads,
I think J'Pol knows how, atleast, or maybe some1 else could posta tip for you.

:cool2:

[MagicNakor]

I was going to mention about the ads also. I do not wish to block them, but right now they really are an eyesore.

firefox users can block them with this (http://texturizer.net/firefox/adblock.html)

[manker]

Those poor unfortunates using IE, or other browsers, may block them with this. (http://www.admuncher.com/)

[ZaZu]

My ZoneAlarm must be blocking them...I didn't know there were any ads...

[rookiecrd1]

Ok I fixed the ad color to make it the colors of the forum and Martin moved it to the top right.

Looks better.

Any idea why the filesharingtalk logo has an extra bit of transparent space at the bottom? :unsure:

[[Spam]]

it just looks so much better with the less kindergarten-ish usernames.
I changed my userContent.css :D

before:

after:
http://img32.exs.cx/img32/7084/un-sm.jpg

anyone (mozilla/firefox users) can just add this to their userContent


a[class="bigusername"] { font-weight:bold; font-size:1em !important; }

Would there be a way to add this into vBulletin itself? This is so that non-Mozilla users can "enjoy" this fix.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Ya, good question :stupid: they didnt have one that said smart...

Could you PLEASE do this at the bottom of every thread.

Yes please, other wise you ahve to go to the top and click it, and if you, like me have it set as 40 posts per page tis a fucking nightmare.

Peerzy as a temporary thing until it's fixed you could use the home key. :)

What about the forum jump thingy? :unsure:

[manker]

The thing that Zed (15%) suggested is better. The forum jump option is a long way down and scrolling there is ... tiresome.

[tesco]

ya like on the old board, it's better than way. But stil until it's fixed you could press home to get to teh top then click the lounge link, or whatever link, at the top.

I just use the back button personally.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Yeah this is what I've been wanting since day 1...seems to be taking a while to get any changes...finally got a new forum layout.

Another temporary fix for Firefox users:

Hold down right mouse button and use the mouse wheel to scroll through your recent history

Thanks, nice tip. Although in my case, I found I have to hold down the [shift] key for it to work.

While I'm here, guess I'll take the opportunity to whine about the lack of "back to top" links in each post. It's the only thing I'm missing from the old board.

Yeah granted, the quick forum jump is handy... but only if you make it to the bottom of the page.
Oftentimes I want out of a thread/section before I hit the end of the page.

[kazaa2002]

Not Intuitive
-A short instruction page, on how to find a forum
-A short list that shows old ways to new ones and how to convert
old to new (if possible)
-A Faq that deals with all of the needs of those who have trouble with
change

In other words....add a help button
add a tip page

or do nothing and let us wander and meander in the maze.

[DanB]

The abiltiy to quote more than one post.

Sometimes just quoting the one post doesnt make sense to your reply

[Cheese]

Read this thread.

[{I}{K}{E}]

Read this thread.

I now have more admin options. I will read this topic in a sec. and will try 2 fix the problems.

[tesco]

Make topic titles automatically make every word start with a capitol...it's not gramatically correct but it looks more professional than with little letters.

Also make excessive punctuation get reduced to one.


so someone write "help!!!!!!!!!!!!" as their title and it changes it to "Help!". Also makes it look more professional.

Sounds very good. If there is any way to have a SUBTITLE under title, and name of poster out to the side, like in IPB, that would be GREAT.

Yeah, I agree with Rossco on this. A neat forum is more attractive to newcomers.

And for those with no Firefox i bet that the huge font on the names is getting really annoying, that should also be fixed.

no i just meant that people without firefox have no way (that i know of) to make the font smaller.
motherflux made a script to add to a file in firefox and it makes that font smaller. :)

Just shrink Posting Rules.
You could shrink Quick Reply also...

[Joakim Agren]

Am i missing something? there is no search function in this board.... :unsure:
Hello!

Search is at the top next to the Quick Links link. There is an option for advanced search there also!.

[clocker]

Many of the other vBulletin forums I belong to ( this example is from OCforums.com) have a clickable menu at the bottom of the page to navigate around in addition to the "Forum Jump" we have currently implemented.
I find it very handy...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/clocker/clickies.jpg

[tesco]

clocker the idea is good, im sure that's not to hard to do it's just a matter of an admin actually doing it.

[Keikan]

i got a suggestion. Switch lounge and the drawing room. I keep getting it mixed up because lounge is always in the middle

Yes, I know.
OCforums has it in both locations.

[mattesca]

this would be a nice idea for the skin colors, like have the user pick which one they perfer........sry its big
http://img103.exs.cx/img103/5429/NeowinIdea.jpg

[{I}{K}{E}]

Neowin uses Invision we use Vbulletin.
currently we have only 1 skin

[mattesca]

well i thought this board was going to have more features.........cough cough

[Peerzy]

We were promised tha by the admin who hasnt been here or posted for the last 6 weeks. We will not be having any extra skins or extra stuff its gonna stay pritty much what it is now. IKE is doing his best but he can't work wonders like Krohn the super good coder who no one has seen for 6 weeks.....:dry:

[bigdawgfoxx]

Yeah, when Krohn did post about stuff it was always to get more people so HE could make more money. Its more about him then us now and I really dont think he cares, and also the forums dont seem to have any more people. I thank IKE though for being here for us.

But I just know at first there was talk about chats and arcades and stuff...we have nothing like that, no new features really, just a worse looking place.

[Peerzy]

IKE is working his butt off becuase Krohn promised so much stuff to us then fucked off.

[sArA]

Nice to see Ike getting some recognition :)

[{I}{K}{E}]

I heared Krohn is not able to be online more often because of a personal issue, I dunno what it is but Rookie told me and I trust him. This isn't the first time I post this.
I can understand that some people think it's strange or suspicious because of what happend here in the past. I agree that it would be nice if Krohn would gives us some feedback about when we can expect some changes or when he is able to be online more often.

thing is when we were on IPB he was ahving personall issues and then as soon as we moved and it was a emergancy he was here for 2 days then he fucked off again. To be honest he's properly geting alot of money out of Brian for doing jack all.

to firefox or to VB? :unsure:

not sure if it works in VB, you should be able to do that in the skin options.

for firefox add it to "C:\Documents and Settings\name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.xxx\chrome\userContent.css"
(replace \name\ with your name and default.xxx with whatever ur folder's number\letter combo is. :) )

Thanks, I know you're trying to help, but unless it's auto-collapsed on page 1-of-4, 2-of-4, 3-of-4, and then expanded on 4-of-4, it won't help my seemingly particularly unique problem! :no:

[Cheese]

The Poll Section needs a proper name, post a poll sounds so lame.

We should probably have a poll to decide a name. I'd start it but I've had my poll rations for today.

Also the two sub-sections need distinct names as well. And the current layout of that section is scruffy, get rid of the rules on the first bit and just have the rules pinned within each subsection.

Poll Pouri
RealPoll

That doesn't make sense to me.

An off-topic poll in the off-topic section would have to be about filesharing :blink:

My suggestion is about the section bt invite which could be more organize because you can't have a clear view of everything on right now because any post blow out everything.
