I'll log in with Safari and try it.

Okay. It's gotta be either a FF issue or something with my Mac and FF, because I'm here with Safari and all works dandy.

[Xairbusdriver]

Quick and/or Full in default, and IBR2 ( the one I used during testing ), FF 2.0.0.1, Mac OS 10.4.7, iMac iGloo, hunt & peck keyboarding...

Must admit, I hate the way IPB now handles the smilies. It's ... annoying at the very least

What is it you don't like? I assume you mean in the Full Reply window, since I don't use that but I thought it was the same as before.

My biggest problem was getting logged back in. Attempted to use what I thought was my old name/pw and was told that one ( but, of course, not which one ) was incorrect. Used the "Forgot password" function ( TWICE ) and it still would not let me in. Gave up and decided to register anew. Except that I couldn't use that "Sign in name"-it was already in use. double Finally I decided to try another of the 1Password name/passwords ( as Admin ). Worked like there was never anything wrong. THAT'S THE SAME THING WE STARTED WITH, STOOPID!

Yes, I'm referring to the full reply window. It's rather hideous.

I'd show you, but apparently I can't add attachments.

No quick/full edit in IB2.2.2, Firefox 2.0.0.3, Mac OS 10.4.9 and a crummy black keyboard.  

My software differs from yours. I'm pretty sure it's a FF issue, but I don't know what to look for in my prefs or on my computer. I made sure javascript and java were both on while here and that doesn't make a difference.

Kris, Jennie, Kimmer, XABD,

FYI, I just went back to the site just now, about 8:50 P.M., no problems, my computer logged me in automatically (iBook)

I'm sure that Kris and Jennie are pretty well glued to their computers right now; seeing posts from Kris in the afternoon is pretty amazing!

Seriously, I see you have begun moving topics, I'm sure E's blood pressure is way over the limit right now, but keep on rockin' and I look forward to the next few days.

All the best,

Chris K

Another awesome job!  Thanks to all involved.  I love the new Metalaxe skin!  

I cleaned out all my PM's, both received and sent, and now it shows I have -1 New Messages.     Does this mean that for every PM I don't receive, I get an additional negative?

I'm using the same skin, and I'm also seeing 1 new message.

FYI, Jen sent me some files that were cached and I got the SmoothRose look back but there are a lot of things that need to be changed before I can put it back in the list. There are a lot of icons missing and some boxes are extended, etc. so it may be several days (if ever) before it will be OK for use.

Anyway, if anyone sees a particular problem with a skin, please let me know. I'll add it to my list of things to do.

Kris, I rolled through all available, and found no problems, except some flash-backs to my past life in the late sixties-early-seventies...

Outstanding job all around, let's see how things unfold over the next little while.

IB2.2.2 is the version of the software the board is now on, we're all using that. "IBR2" is the name of the skin I'm using. It's one of the few rounded corner box styles that works well, not perfectly, there is a minimum size window width, but it works well otherwise. Good contrast of black text on light background, neat buttons ( many skins are somewhat childish, IMHO ). Anyway, the Full/Quick capabilities are there. That is a javascript, there is some 'data' for each post:

CODE

//<![CDATA[
if ( ajax_loaded && use_enhanced_js )
{
menu_build_menu( 'edit-but-126359',
    new Array(  img_item + " <a title='Full edit screen with all options' href='http://www.techsurvivors.net/forums/index.php?act=post&amp;do=edit_post&amp;<CR>
        f=1&amp;t=16012&amp;p=126359&amp;st=0'>Full Edit</a>",
    img_item + " <a href='#' title='Edit this post in place with basic options'<CR>
        onclick='return ajax_prep_for_edit(126359, event);'>Quick Edit</a>" ) );
}
//]]>

I'm not sure what "enhanced javascript" is, other than "Ajax". But if that "if test" [ if ( ajax_loaded && use_enhanced_js ) ] returns a negative value you won't get the two choices. I just don't know how to do more than enable javascript at TS, which is what my settings are in NoScript. My FF prefs actually have javascript enabled, but NoScript blocks any scripts automatically, unless I've already approved them for a site. As far as I know, there are no user settings for Ajax in any browser.

If you're using NoScript, make sure you allow TS always. And make sure NoScript does not hide it's info panel after a very short time, so you can be sure it's not still blocking a script.

I don't see any place on the received page where that variable is set, it is probably done before the php send the page.

As for the smilies display, the only thing I don't care for is the lack of text feedback on what the actual codes for them are. You must open the "Show All" window to see them.

On the other hand, I like being able to completely do away with tem and have a bigger, wider reply box. One can still access the smilies in the dropdown menu or open the "Show All" window. Or, is that not working in your set up, also?!

Okay, I switched to your skin to test. So far, no Full/Quick edit capabilities.

I've actually un-installed it to see if that would help. Still no go. No Full/Quick edit option and clicking the multi-quote button sends me to the top of the page and doesn't quote anything when I hit reply.

"Show all" works. Where do I find a setting that actually turns off the smilies? I see a small box on the left with 9 smilies and a scroll bar to see 3 more. I can click NEXT and see 9-12 more, this time with scroll bars that go up/down and left/right. Or I can slick "Show All" and get a nice tidy window. It's a personal pref. I just don't like the look.

Just tried to post a cartoon in the community...do not see the insert that used to be there to insert an item. The "insert special item" drop down is not working.

HOATT Testing here, let's see if I can add an attachment, Roy.  Right under the "Reply Window" It should say attachments-Select a file"  It's showing for me.  Let's see if my alter ego sees it also.

[dboh]

In the several times I've come here since the changeover, I've had to re-log back in. When I go to the log-in page, my id and password are already entered. Is this something I should just get used to?

I may have fixed that.  Please try again.  It's under the reply box as before.  The "Insert Special Item" is something else.
