    Couple things I noticed, not to pester you, Shorty.

    The block of space between different sections is gone. I couldn't figure out why the main page was itching at my mind so much, and I think that's it. Also, the bar separating stickies from regular threads is gone (unless you already covered that... I don't really know).
    I need to explain more (preferably with pictures), so I can understand your request :)

    What about the stickies? And the SVT Forum?
    Stickies are 50/50%. It is felt that seperating the stickies means they get missed. I am going to highlight/bold the sticky word instead and see how it goes :)

    SVT will be repaired to work as it did today :)

    I can't get new posts to work at all, the only way I can check new posts is to hit quick links.

    Otherwise I hit new posts and the page just scrolls to the bottom.

    Load the Short-Media forums home page and hit F5 to refresh your browser. Chances are you are caching the old javascript :)

    I've just tried it in both IE and FireFox. Both are working a-ok :)

    Um don't know if this has been mentioned but none of the radio buttons work when posting in advanced mode. i.e bold & hyperlink & insert buttons don't work

    Il take a look. More than likely you need to clear your browser cache/temp internet files of old js javascript files :)

    Are all images banished to the "IMG View", the itty-bitty picture link? Or do I have a setting wrong?

    Thumbnails are now active to help cut down the HUGE page loading times that have started occuring :)

    It's a test to see how things go, if the general consensus hate it, il put it back as it was :)

    Great work, as usual, Shorty.

    I like your idea of keeping the stickies and normal threads together, you're right in saying they got missed previously.

    I also like the quick reply box that is smilie-free. I can "Go Advanced" if I forget what a particular smilie's code is, but it just seems so much cleaner without them right there on Quick Reply.

    I also very much appreciate the persistent read/unread status on the threads.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Don't know if I missed it in this thread, but there used to be a "preview" of the first post if you held your cursor over a thread title. Can we have that back?

    Thanks for all you do Shorty!

    I can put that back easy enough, it's a VB option. Didn't think anyone used it anyway ;D

    Sorry buddy!

    Hey shorty Can I ask a question?

    I was wondering if you could help me add the option of sperating Stickeys from regular threads like SM. is there anyway you could send me the code insert for that option?
