I cannot duplicate that Mister Fork.  I have tried and tried.  The only button that disappears when I use the page is the "Delete" button, and that is only done when there are no more basic moderators left.

Yes, moderators also have to be listed as users.  You cannot remove the user if he/she is a moderator.

You are trying to do something in the signature that is not available.

Since I have a work-around, lets put this in the weird and unusual section. :D

Skuzzy, something for when you've done all the major stuff..
The new format's a bit cluttered.  It might be better if we had only the username and avatar, no post count, no XXX-member type (unless special like CM or Skinner team, or admin).. No stars either.  They don't really mean anything, unless we get one of those rep-points systems :O.  Online/offline is the only one that's more or less useful.

And it'd be nice if we could have an option for more posts per page, inside a thread. Unless it's a problem with bandwidth or something.

If we are talking sigs, my old one was well within the limits (old rule of 5 lines regular text)

But it is 1198 characters (it goes over 300 characters even with just the simple quotes from board members). I completely understand the use of a limiter, then Skuzzy doesn't have to go around policing giant signatures. At the same time though someone could put a bunch of returns in their signature and it would allow it.

Skuzzy this is not a priority I know, but can you remember to look in to upping the maximum character count for signatures at least a bit?

thanks.

I just noticed that my post count went down to 50 with the change.

I know I had over 100 and was a "senior member"  before the upgrade.

It's not really a big deal, but why would I lose post count?

We killed off all the dead forums when we made the move.

And JB73, there is also a line feed limit of 5.  So no one can SPAM the sig.

I'll consider upping the amount.  Let's see how this works out first.  Signatures are not supposed to be some type of novelette.

When I reply to a message, I am returned to the parent forum of that thread and not the thread I am replying too.  Is it supposed to be this way?

When you post, under "Additional Options", check the "Return to this topic" option.

NP thanks sir.


<EDIT> oh yeah, I'm sure you guys know but the forum rules only show up in the News forum, they are not seen in the other sub-forums.
