@ Alien Bay -

@ admin - Forum looks fantastic!! Its going to take me alittle while to get used to. I have one request/question though. Is there any way to enable the "Quick Reply" button by default, like it used to be?

I see no way of changing Avatars. Just 2 options there, but no way that I can see to 'browse' for a new avatar.

help

I changed my 'appearance' to a selection ..Windows Classic or something like that.
Now, I've lost the New Posts at the Top (see arrow) and I've also lost the way to go back and re-change my desktop 'appearance'.

EDIT Here. I did figure out how to get back from the Windows classic. But I think the New Posts is definitely missing.

Nice upgrade so quick after us displaced DVD D forum members showed up

Think I got the signature problem I was having fixed (Shall find out this post) Each post the sig would be different.

Still have not figured out how to set the av after I removed my old one

@ admin: Something is not right with the 'avatars' - you can kill the current one - but no way you can upload a new one.

Tried in the mod control panel - it only states - 'The uploaded image is too large. This user's permissions limits him/her to maximum dimensions of -1 by -1.'.

And this is the same avatar as before the forum update.

Anyways, if you could implement something similar to what I've (badly) described, it would make navigation a little easier. Thankyou for your time.

I seem to remember something like that now. I've implemented something similar, but it's not exactly the same.

Is there any way to enable the "Quick Reply" button by default, like it used to be?

You mean without having to click on the "quick" button? The new forum software supports threaded posts (check out the "display mode" options), where you can reply to one post within a thread like on a message board. This is the reason the quick reply button has to be clicked on first by default. I have disabled this feature so that you can quick reply straight away, but if you want the threaded effect, you'll still have to click on the "quick" button for each individual post before using the quick reply box.

I've fixed it (avatars was disabled by default for registered users).

Now, I've lost the New Posts at the Top

In your screenshot, the "New Posts" link is under the "Quick Links" drop down menu (when you click on the "Start Button").

I can't find it - sure it's enabled?

[admin]

It's working for a registered users (I tested it with a test account) - I think it was disabled for moderators, but I've enabled it. There is also a separate profile picture that users can upload, I'm not sure what that's for.
