What happened to the formatting menu thingy on top of the normal reply page? I see it in the quick reply part, but not on the main reply page. Feature/Bug?

Been trying to fix that, but FTP is being screwy and wouldn't let me. Should be fixed soon.

Konqueror doesn't have java built in (if it does its a very old [crappy] version), I believe you have to download it or a newer version at the very least.
Also, IE doesn't support newer java either, their version is still at like 1.1 :razz:
Mozilla and Netscape use the newest versions, and the newer versions support different features as well as old techniques tweaked and such ... thus all the problems with compatability.

Lep - granted, but Java isnt a web standerd.

I'll be reinstalling gnome in the morning. I was just testing out kde 3.2. I can honestly say; it sucks harder than a dyson on turbo.

Yeah, they don't have enough sucking power when used on yourself :smile:

Just been trying to add a few maps to my profile and it seems to be borked, with Mozilla anyway.

When you click Submit it comes up with an empty page except for a message - "You may only upload JPG images!". Tried just adding a .Zip but it came up with the same thing and then tried just .JPG screenys but no go. Also tried both Submit buttons.

Then i went back into control panel and noticed that it had added the map several times. Had to go back and delete them all, grrrr !

suggestion:

is it possible, to display the poll results at the top of each new page?

tis a small issue, but few threads require one to go back to page #1 as much, or as often as a poll does..

if its not possible, tis ok, but it would be nice not to have to go to the first page each time.

xcon, if you're using KDE, why not just use Mozilla?

Also, KDE is a fine desktop environment, however ... GNOME is a bit better (faster). But, I still like KDE :smile:

At least it isn't as bad as Solaris 7 barf

Random thing that might be nice- on a Poll, would it be possible to sumarize the poll at the top of each page?

Since it only appears on page 1, it makes it hard to comment on it when you're on page 2 or later without opening up a new tab/window with the first page in it.

Firstly, I cant delete my screens folder from my pit, so Lep, please rid me of it. Secondly. Both PitCrew maps are joint effort between mappers, so could you make it that instead of a map being attached to a single mapper, that it could be linked to many mappers. That way they all get the kudos, and there is only 1 download link.

Is there any way we could have an indicator of what posts we've posted in? I know I occasionally lose track. A little black dot in the post icon a la many other pieces o' forum software would work nicely, or some other indicator. :smile:

You can kind of see by going to your profile, and clicking the 'forum posts' link on the left, to see recent posts (e.g. mine). I'll have a think about a quick and easy other way though.

You know when the cursor passes over a topic, it highlights it green? Perhaps you could have threads in which we post have green highlighting on them.

I think it would make the forums look crap if some things were
highlighted all the time. It could be cool if the highlighting on mouse
hover was a different colour if you have posted in the thread?

What it should say is "If you are so certain...", which condences into "If you're so certain...".

"Your" is used when talking of something related to who you are talking to, such as "your bike" or "your daughter".

I hadn't even noticed, I tend not to have too many things up around my
monitor at once but instead keep things minimised for the most part. I
guess for others it could get annoying though, and I don't see any need
for it unless its a technical reason.
