Forums Changing this weekend

[photosbyvito]

yes! kayd...you found a very cool feature.....the only thing you have to worry about there...is the size thing....you can't post anything above 102 kb......which isn't always a problem....except for some of my macros

lol

nice little feature to have anyway...that is how i host some of my stuff....another forum i'm on has it...you can post massive stuff though...i think the limit is like 8MB....lol crazy....

Just out of curiosity, like Joshua B, I'm interested as to why you moved away from phpbb. And also to wowbb and not invision. I know it's not great fun changing forums, especially when everyone has a different opinion about it, so good luck.

My only gripe is the time system. I live in the England but can't find a way of setting it to my clock.

Suzan, I managed to change my color scheme, so now I'm a lot happier. In the weekly challenge, at least, I'm able to delete posts and entire threads, so if you come up with a problem, just let me know.

Never mind, it appears to be correct.
Perhaps it changed when I set the country that I was from.

Steve said somewhere the other day that clock-setting would bedone automatically. This seems to be artifically intelligent software of the highest order, given the obscure variety of locations we give in our profiles. Mine's right too, so far as I can see.

No artificial intelligence at all Alan T !

Justgo toyour profile

http://www.stevesforums.com/forums/my_account.php?edit_profile=1

and set your country from the list and Save !

Now, beside time zone being automatically set ( in your case no difference causeyour time zone coincides with (GMT) Greenwitch Meridian Time ), your location under your avatar will become"clickable"

Now, just click on it and u will see what happens ...

that is an awesome thing there....you can see the users (that changed there location in their profile at least) that live near you!

I *still* have this problem! I want to change the default color scheme, but I cannot get to my account. The default color scheme is really bad IMHO. It hurts my eyes to look at :-( :-(

Is there any chance of gettingbetter a forum search engine (like the old forum software)? So far (unless I'm doing something wrong), the search feature is pretty useless at locating old forum posts based on searching for keywords within the old posts.

The search index has been completely built now. It only took eleven hours to re-index all of the existing 196,000+ messages but it is now done. Enjoy.
