I had to surrender my privs because people were complaining that they couldn't put me on their ignore lists.  :noid

I just wanted to know if I could select a "Hello Kitty!" theme.

You should see the login.  Once you login, are you just getting a blank page?

Yes, I had to rewrite the private forum manager.
The reason we did not move the name is this is only a temporary home for the forums until I get the server updated.  Then this will all be moved.
good to hear! thanks!

I don't know what to put here yet.

When clicking on a second or third page, frequently the next page is half filled with posts from the previous page.  It doesn't happen every time and it sometimes happens on page 2 or 3.  I'm running Firefox.

Also can't seem to find where to up the number of posts per page to be displayed.

Other than that, I like the new look. :cool:

There currently is no option to allow the user to set the page (number of posts per forum) size.

The moderator link should now be working for all the private forum folks.

ChickenHawk, that could have been due to me experiementing with the page count size.

Flash should have never been available.  It was internally disabled but the ICON still showed up.  That has been corrected.

In all seriousness, why the new bbs, and what was that about selectable themes? Was that just for admins, or is there something to change the layout/appearance?

Moderator tool is still broken for me - but not completely.



Can't add basic moderators - only regular members. :cry

BTW - I've blocked out the members of the AvA staff list.  :P

What is it doing Mister Fork?

Hub, Profile->Look and Layout Preferences.  Hit 'change' in the first option.

The old BBS was no longer supported and had a lot of Admin limitations.  We have been hacking it for some time to add features, such as the moderator thing we had for the private forums.

Just can't add or edit the basic moderators list - which would be nice.  I'm the main moderator for a couple of forums.
