Juju Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 There seem to be some new features on the board. Specifically the private message feature. And the ability to show one's birthdate. Should keep those How-Old-Are-You threads at bay. Very nice. However, (this one's to Madmatt) while updating my profile I noticed in the preferences section that the last entry on the list contains no text but does have a yes/no option, which is currently set to "no." Pray tell: what feature be this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Don't know, its blank for me as well. I *think* its something to do with Private Messaging which I have turned off as its too CPU intensive. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanachai Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Bugger. Hey, Madmatt, I now see a box with a fairly extensive list of 'those currently logged on'. If I double click on the 'Combat Mission x(being the number of those logged on', my screen changes and shows me an extra column after the name of the thread, and before the name of the person who began it, and that column contains a number. Very trippy. What does it all mean, Mad Bald One? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgars Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Ah, i see, there has been an update! On my 21" screen the forum now looks a bit strange. The column for topic name is very narrow, but the column for Topic Starter is to damn wide. This makes almost all topic names go into 2 lines, which extends the page very much.

Of course I'm bound to be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 ciks, I think what you're seeing is an artifact of the browser you're using more than the page layout itself. In IE 5.1 (Mac) I get behavior like you describe, but in OmniWeb (Mac, OS X) it renders as it should, i.e. long topic start field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
