Repairs in Progress/Completed

[Halbarad]

Just as a heads-up topic, as I'm going to try to do what cleaning up I can on the board as I settle into my new job.

• Fixed some missing topic titles in the ECB forum. If there are any others around, let me know.
  
• Repaired a code error when editing posts, and changed posting code to show who the last person was that edited a post.
  
• Repaired old posts; all &gt;/&lt;/&quot;/&amp; HTML characters have been changed back to >/</"/& characters.
  
• Attachments SHOULD now be working for everyone. If you have any problems with this, let me know.

If you spot anything else that needs fixing, post away and let me know.

The smileys have been axed, by request of our Kind Fearless Leader.

Wow, a non-GameFAQs board without smilies.  Don't see too many of those.

[Zenthor]

Can't say I'm disappointed.  Huzzah for a lack of smileys.

[Dracos]

They've been turned off since the board was started.  Just the little images on the side were left on due to...certain issues >_>;

Those issues being me - I didn't nuke them because I both forgot and was slack at different times. :p

I...generally agree, actually, but I've always been more of a fan of ASCII smilies anyway, so I'm not really one to comment >_>

<_<

Well, there could be a possible bias towards those.  But regardless, this isn't a place for dozens of graphical smileys all over the place.  We try and run graphic light in the posts to provide the easiest access to everyone and the most pleasant forum going experience.

Amen, Brother.

Hal, you rock.  These changes are awesome.

Rez, give yourself some time off to relax soon. :p

Okay, kind of a big one this time. Did some overhauling in general, and here are the results.

[*] The board is running from a fresh install of phpBB, so hopefully some of the nagging little errors here and there are gone (like times a post was edited).
[*] Two new skins for the board have been added: BBLite and BBTech. I'm tentatively working on a third, but that one may take a bit more time to get operational.
[*] Draft posts are in place. If you have a long post to type up and not enough time to finish it at once, mark it as a draft. You'll leave a placeholder in the topic showing that you're writing a post, and the post can be edited and completed from your profile page.
[*] Avatars and signatures can be disabled at will. Check your profile page; just check off the options for whichever you prefer and you can skip having to look at them.[/list]

There may be more to come; keep an eye on this topic for any further updates!

Are we going to be able to change our titles again any time soon? I set mine when we had the option before and while it fits, it would be nice to change it at will again.

[Halbarad]

Should be able to do it now, actually. Go to your profile page and look at the box just above 'Signature' - it should be Custom Rank. Change that, and you change the bolded rank below your name. The other one is based on posts, though, so you can't change that one yourself.

I dunno about the rest of you, but the box just above Signature on my profile page is Interests, not Custom Rank.

[Halbarad]

This should be fixed now, at least for IY-chan. You'll need at least 100 posts to be able to set a custom title for yourself.
