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?

I'll resave it tomorrow.

When you look at the file size, "size" and "size on disk" are two separate numbers for some odd reason. "sizew on disk" almost always appears to be larger than just "size".

Next time you upload an image for your signature, open it in the browser window, right-click and choose 'properties' and it should give you the accurate file size of your image online.

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?

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

Nifty suggestions, thanks!

Just popped in to say that I successfully used 'Search' today. Thanks, Paul!

A couple more pesky, annoying questions...

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

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..

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.)

Not intentionally! I'll look into fixing that.

Gosh, probably - I got used to opening a new window to look at the extra page, so hadn't noticed that.
