I WILL compress the image just slightly and re-save, thanks. I NEVER knew there was a 25KB signature restriction :o
But thanks :) I opt for a thread with the basic forum rules to be made soon though because this community is already humongous, and will only continue to get bigger :)
Ooopsie... I swear when I saved it on my computer, it was 24 and now its 26. Thats not the first time that happened... HOW does the file grow larger? :confused: I'll resave it tomorrow.Quote:

I have another really silly question, but I've noticed that when people put in a lot of information on their "location" line, the line keeps going until the end of what they wrote, making us have to scroll over to read their entire post. Can we fix it so that the words go to a second line beneath the first line?
Or maybe truncated - if that's the right word? Hover over Location with the mouse and you can read the rest?
I was wondering if there was any way to save an entire thread to my hard drive - Tubby's good bye thread as an example. At the time I saved each page by doing a File/Save As, but I was wondering if now with the new software there was a way of downloading the entire thread - similar to how PMs can now be downloaded.
Thanks for doing such a great job Karen & Paul! :)
Yes, if I click on "Currently Active Users", they are listed in alphabetical order. But on the Main Index, they are not and it's easier to quickly glance at that list, rather than go to another page. I know it can be alpabatized, because the mods at another forum exactly like this one did this when the users requested it. :)Quote:

Paul is looking into that, and I mentioned the alphabetization of the Who's online listing on the forums front page as well.Quote:

A couple more pesky, annoying questions...:o
Didn't we used to have a reply "button" at the top corner or each mesage box, next to the "quote" button, or were there just two buttons, at the top and bottom of the page? Can't remember for sure and my hand keeps pulling the mouse over to the side of a message to reply:D
Did we get rid of the "newcomer," "resident" "pillar" status notations under our names? I just see "registered user" as the only default designation.
Used to be I could be in the middle of writing a reply to say, the dog of the day on Pet Talk, click on the the dog of the day page to check something and come back and what I had written would still be there. Now when I come back the page is blank. Is this due to the new software?
Thank you!!!
tatsxxx11, there was an edit button next to the quote button, and that's still there... is that what you're thinking of??
Or maybe you're thinking of the report button?
I keep accidentally clicking the 'report' button instead of 'quote' because the 'report' button is in place where the 'quote' button is on XMB forums and XMB forums are the ones I'm more used to posting on..
No, it was a "reply" button...what you hit to respond/post a reply to a thread. I could have sworn there used to be one in each message box, where the "edit" and "quote" buttons are now! Then again, I could be imagining it!:confused: :D Thanks Jessika!
OH no I know what you're talking about. It was "New Topic" and "Post Reply". I am actually very glad the "New Topic" button is gone because you don't know HOW many times I hit that by mistake... had a post all typed out and everything... go to click submit and it says "you must specify a title to create a new topic!" and I'm like "DAMMIT! I didn't want to create a new topic! I WANTED TO REPLY!" and you click the back button and loose the whole post...
So, to answer your question, it was the 'new topic' button :)
But wait, that's at the bottom of each page, not at the bottom of each post. I have no clue what you're talking a bout, then.
Oh no problem, it's me!:D You'd think after being here 5 years, I'd remember how I posted those nearly 18,000 messages! Must have been on autopilot!:rolleyes: :D
There was only ever a "reply" button at the top and bottom of the page, but it was in the bar at the top in the old system, not on top of it, and at the left, now the right. (Went to a different site I know that uses the old, unupgraded software.)Quote:
