I just tried the new Merge Posts option and it worked.
JW made 2 Stern related posts in the Sirius/XM Merger thread instead of the Stern thread so I checked them off and merged them into the correct thread and it worked. I've been wanting the ability to do that for a while now. Good stuff.

[quote="solidefy"]well, i guess you guys just suck or something[/quote]

quick reply feature would be cool if you could get that in. And im guessing when i hit the view new posts button all the old post will be gone after you get everything worked out. B/c i guess since i keep it logged in even though i read the post they stay on that page

it used to show the whole list even if you viewed them all unless you closed your internet browser.
because in work i leave a window open so i would see every single new post in that list even if i already viewed them. the new ones would just be lit up at the top of the list like they are now. but yeah now even when i close the internet browser now on this new board, it still shows me a big list of new posts today even if i viewed them hours ago.

its kind of a nice convenience to only see unviewed posts when you click View New Posts but i dont mind the whole list being there with a mixture of viewed from earlier and unviewed.

yea i got post from the 13th in there that i already read. I signed out and signed back in and they were still there. its really not a big deal though

Nick · **Posted:** January, 15, 2008 - 5:58pm

Thank you very much for getting the reskinning done so fast.

Great Job!

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** January, 15, 2008 - 10:44pm

steve, i dont know if you're done for the night but i think the main forum page would look better if the different sections were left aligned instead of center. just a thought.

EDIT: actually you're probably not done because the posts are center aligned now and i dont think they were before. haha hey just trying to point out some things if i notice.

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** January, 16, 2008 - 8:32am

oh yeah its looking a LOT better now. nice work.

Russell Casse · **Posted:** January, 16, 2008 - 11:04am

The avatar thing is still messed up though.... I don't know if it's just me or not but everyone's is still 200x200. I changed mine manually.

Russell Casse · **Posted:** January, 16, 2008 - 11:10am

FYI. Links also do not open automatically in a new window now either.

Hack · **Posted:** January, 16, 2008 - 1:16pm

im liking how the post are centered. i dunno why but i do haha

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** January, 16, 2008 - 10:32pm

i tried posting a bunch of different pictures and i kept getting this message...
It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.

haha that sounds like something JW would say.

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** January, 17, 2008 - 11:22pm

so i guess in IE my posts get centered and in Firefox my posts are left aligned. So when I'm at home you'll see centered posts by me and when I'm at work you'll see them on the left. hahaha not a big deal just felt like bringing it up.

JW_Number_ONE · **Posted:** January, 17, 2008 - 11:57pm

Probably a dumb question, but on my computer everyones avatars are supersized. Anyway to change them back to normal?

JW_Number_ONE · **Posted:** January, 18, 2008 - 12:12am

[quote="Steve"]for the time being each person has to go ito their profile and manually enter the width and height of their avatar. i'm working with our host to turn on some server function that will enable it to happen automatically, hopefully they will.[/quote]

Good Deal. Avatar adjusted...

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** January, 18, 2008 - 9:37am

how come for some of us it doesnt show Most Active Forum and Topic in our Profile. Is that something that was enabled or disabled? I'm curious as to what mine is.

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** January, 18, 2008 - 10:16am

Hmm, I actually have no idea. I'll look into it.

yeah not a big deal, whenever you get a chance.
i looked around and didnt see anything to enable.

i think its funny that the topic you posted most in was Counter Strike. hahaha

Hack · **Posted:** January, 18, 2008 - 4:26pm

are you gonna make the view new posts page smaller like it was on the old one

this one everything is wide and its a lot of scrolling. and im to lazy to scroll haha

Nick · **Posted:** January, 20, 2008 - 4:18pm

[quote="Steve"]oh, i just saw that. i havent been testing in IE yet. Hmm thats kind of weird.

okay the site is still pretty effed up in IE, I'll work on it tonight.[/quote]

What do you use? Firefox?

Nick · **Posted:** January, 20, 2008 - 10:46pm

I'm a firefox fan myself

The Greg Man · **Posted:** January, 22, 2008 - 8:48pm

IE works great on my computer.

Nick · **Posted:** January, 24, 2008 - 1:04pm

Greg you should try firefox just to see if you like it better
