After a thorough search, we have found there is no built-in spell check for VBulletin. There are some "hacks" that can be done to "add" one, but we do not want to risk damaging or disabling Pet Talk that way.

For now, people can do spell check the old-fashioned way. Keep your favorite word processing program open, type your post, copy into the word procesor, spell-check it, then post it! Takes a little longer, but well worth it.

I have a question. Not about "new stuff", but an older feature. How many
posts does there have to be before a thread gets the "view first unread"
feature? I like that feature. It's very helpful in the longer threads. Just curious.

[koxka]

Thank you anyway.
Maybe another time.

Does anyone know the answer to this question?

p.s. There's a prize for the winner.

It's always there, isn't it? It is at the top of every thread. It's not on the forum view, unless it is a new post since you were last logged on (no matter how many responses there were, one or twenty). But when you go into the thread, that view first unread option is at the top of every thread, even if there are no responses. I just looked at a thread with no responses and it was there. Did that make sense?

Exactly right. Open any thread, and it's there on the top left of the page. Or, on the forums homepage, clicking on the little arrow will take you to the last post, which is often just as good, depending how often you've been checking a thread, it's not that far up to the last one you've read1

Cool! I just noticed another thing in the poll- It tells you when it closes if you have a date set!

"This poll will close on 10-26-2005 at 06:05 PM" - from the Halloween/Fall contest in DG.

I still don't think I'm explaining this properly. Look at this thread,

http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=91158


Below the reply button there is a solid blue line on the left with option
boxes on the right, but there is no view first unread option.

Look at the first post in this thread.

http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=91186

and there is a view first unread option.


in the same place there is
a view first unread option.

We seem to be having a problem with viewing videos. I don't know if it's something we're doing or if it's something with the new software. See this thread for more details http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=90963

But Jazzcat posted a video in this thread that she know she posted before, and it worked before and is not working now. Is there some codec the software is adding that we would all need to download since it seems some of us can view and some can't?

Just curious because the videos always worked so well in the previous software and I'm not using anything different now to make the videos than I did before.....

[Kfamr]

I've been having to click "save target as" and save the videos to my computer, then view them, and delete them. If I just try to open them like we used to be able to do, they come up with an error.

Here's the "Error Message" I'm getting when trying to play a video:

C00D1199: Cannot play the file

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. You might encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:

• The file type is not supported by the Player. For a list of file types (formats) that are supported by Windows Media Player, see Supported file types.
• The file type is supported by the Player, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the Player.
• The file type is supported, but you are trying to play it in a way that is not supported by the Player. For example, you might have tried to drag a DVD file with a .vob extension from a DVD to the Windows Media Player icon. Or you might have tried to open a .vob file by clicking Open on the File menu.
• You are trying to play one part of a multipart file. Use a newsreader or other program to combine the files, and then try again.

Error ID = 0xC00D1199, Condition ID = 0x00000000

Jen brought it up in another thread and I noticed it as well. When someone types in something very long into the location box in their profile it really messes up the margins when they post. Is it possible to limit that to a set amount of characters?

For now, people can do spell check the old-fashioned way.

OR ...
Try GOOGLE's Spell Check feature in the Google ToolBar!

Here's some info on it >>>

It DOES work when you're typing inside a Pet Talk Posting Window!!
