    I now need to go off and do some SQL stuff, some general maintenance

    My Dear Shorty,

    Did you and Mrs. Shorty have opportunity for Christmas joy and cheer today? I feel bad, considering I've had a day of dining and family, wondering if you've been slaving all day at the keyboard. Seriously.

    All very nice, I like it, But, When I move my mouse over a forum a box keeps popping up telling me what's in the posts, Bloody annoying, it's like the dreaded paper clip. How can I turn it off? I can't find an option in edit options.
    Well done though.

    ps, just saw this post, I have no idea why it's bold?

    Ok... Ive slept.. so lets answer some posts ;)

    Leo my good man...

    Mrs Shorty is unfortunately required to work all over xmas & new year. The joys of dating a police officer. She worked from 7am till 4pm.. then 7pm till 11pm yesterday and is doing the same again today. We had our xmas three weeks ago ;) along with my family xmas two weeks ago.. as my parents are away enjoying their first xmas without us kids around :)

    Mack matey...

    Clear all your cookies. Some have reported cookie clashes, so clear the temp internet & cookies.. and all will function as it should :)

    Bothered sir..

    It's bold because some people's sigs have bold tags in it and haven't closed them properly. I have already fixed around about 9 sigs that have bad tables/tags and bbcode in them. Il find who the next culprit is in this thread.. in a moment :)

    EDIT:: Fixt Macks sig. He hadn't closed the bold tag in his sig :)

    Ok, thanks, but, how can I turn off the pop up box?
    I have a brother in law who's a police officer, great guy, so I understand the work thing, Bless em all for being there though eh?
    And by the way, what was in your big box?

    You can't turn off the popup box. It's a dynamic HTML alt tag...

    Il look and see if I can hack in the option to turn it off in your userCP :)

    EXCELLENT, Shorty!

    Um, in one of the posts in this thread, the bullets are outside the post text frame. Somebody fed an unordered outline, and there was no minimum left margin in post display box???

    Like this a LOT, though.

    New posts quick link real neat. THANKS!

    Hint to Wugaroo: Has `tk disappeared as ID??? About time VoE appeared???

    Looks like some people need a lesson in code closing...

    Anyway, found something else I don't like, when you look at the time someone posted, it isn't a date or anything anymore, it's like "3 Days ago" or "7 Hours ago" etc...

    Ohh, ohh!

    How about having the forum tree (You know... "Short-Media Forums > Short-Media > Feedback > Forum Upgrade") at the bottom of the page, as well as the top? I always valued this in V2's setup.

    The VB2 version was a hack I did. Im looking to repeat it. Give me an hour or so :)

    You could also make the text of that tree thingy a bit smaller.

    I use to be able to click "View New Posts" and save the URL in my Favorites so I when I come back later I always see the latest posts but it doesn't work anymore. Am I doing something wrong or is it something that needs to be fixed?

    Thanks in advance.

    PS: the new layout looks good but I hate change... :shakehead

    When I click on a thread which I have never read before, I am taken to the last post. Shouldn't I be taken to the first?

    Well done shorty. The site looks great with the old style listings and the new colorsheme. BTW why does blackhawk sometimes use the name vitues of evil as previously stated in this thread. Isn't there plenty of mods anyway. And at the bottom of this page there's a part that says similar threads. What is it.
  • ShortyShorty Manchester, UK Icrontian
    edited December 2003
    Similar threads are threads that ... similar to the one you are reading ;)

    User CP-->options--> Style

    There is now an option called "Old School Postbit". That style contains the old style horizontal postbit :)

    I went back to this, it seems to keep the posts 'more together' somehow.
    Shorty, can you turn off that pop up box? it's driving me mad.

    The trick with mods is to have 2-3 online on a forum, 24\7. With a few, there are times when mods are not looking out for things. Since the mods are usually volunteers, they get to choose when they are on. Some mods take time off to concentrate on life, from time to time, and this can happen at random.

    Frankly, I think BlackHawk is good as mod, and could become a very good sysadmin.

    I think BH was more pointing out 3 aspects in EOs post. 1 the randomness of it, secondly, why does he ask the name change here, and thirdly, the fact he is almost blatantly insulting him and saying that he doesn't need to be a mod.
