    Well, lets see which member number I have, I wonder if it is below the thousand.

    EDIT: Well, it's still pretty low.

    [​IMG] Searching on all forums was never allowed. You need to search each one individually. Double posting will be removed shortly.

    There seems not to be a member #1. I searched for it, but I couldn't find him/her.

    Wow Tal. I think letting people make a poll is a great new addition along with the log in and out thing. The bords seem to be easier to use now. I'm really liking this set up. :D

    I like new features, but there is one thing that i liked before, that info that is now below the post makes it a bit how to say "hard to read", it's like this, that info is "rarely" readed so i liked better when it was below avatar or picture so it doesnt get mixed with the posts. I hope you understood it correctly, this was just my opinion. The rest is great!

    I aslo liked having the info below the avatars, portraits or gems, but maybe it's just that I was used to it that way. Time for a change. :wave:

    [​IMG] You have a login link at the top left of all pages...

    Anyway, I've removed the user numbers, they were just distracting and wasted space. All custom avatars are also set up. If anyone with one finds any mistakes, PM or mail me.

    Gems will be next.

    [​IMG] I think the member numbers were a nice addition and would like to see them reinstated, please.

    It didn't look that good with first "Member" and then directly below that "Member #xxx", so just find another place to show the member number.

    I could put it somewhere else, but since it's so easy to see the number in the profile url, I won't bother. Besides, I'm sick & tired of people asking me who's #1... THERE IS NO No. 1, dammit! :shake:

    Hehe probably #1 is reserved by the board cgi script for the default administrator account.

    Nice btw, i like the new blue shade better :) If you had to reenter all the custom avatar infos (i think so as there was a typo in mine first, but got corrected later :D ) it must've taken quite some time. Thanks.

    Oh, one last thing. That "last post by" info on individual threads was quite useful as you could easily tell if someone had replied after you. However, that also tends to clutter the page so I understand if you do not intend to implement this again.

    [​IMG] Invoker, yes, I had to do it manually, and now separately in each user account... Ugh. I had a combined list for all before, implementing it back now individually took me 3 hours. :eek:

    The Last Post By could be hacked on now, but since it'll be a core feature in the next official release I'll just wait till then and update.

    [​IMG] One question: any way of making the info on the bottom of the posts actully stick to the bottom of the post rather than the bottom of the text?

    [​IMG] I think the From information is practically useless since so many use it almost like a signature instead of the way it should be used.
    So I say remove it and replace it with something useful. :)

    Well, it's been moved out of the way of the place where real user titles and avatars are, so it's not really a problem now, I think.
