Right, you can't. That may appear in future versions of the threaded view hack I've got installed, but not this one. This forum software, by default, does not have threaded views - and since that was a requirement here, I made sure I got this modification working.

By the way, do you know how irritating it is to catch and remove every place in this forum software where it normally shows post counts?

There's no option to disable them - I had to hack them out. :P This software even has crap like "Top Ten Posters." What a way to encourage nothing but crap to be posted to your board...I don't know why people think post counts are a good idea.

OOps sorry Bolty about reporting your post. I was mistaken, I thought I was replying. Any ways I agree with Bolty in this post count.

I love this new look


Welcome To The New Lurker Lounge Forum! - Griselda - 02-14-2003

I hit the "report this post" button instead of the "reply" button on my very first post to this forum (when we were testing). :P

Hmm... that's right the Reply and Quote buttons seem in an unnatural place at the top of each post. Anyway you can move these buttons to the bottom of a person's post and move the report button up top?

Ok thanks. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me.

Hi,

Now, if someone were to write a nice program that accurately *rated* posts, that would be nice. I can see it now:

Member: Dufus
Number of posts: 27,456,736
Average value on a scale from 1 to 10: -72.5

Because I never actually had an account at the old lounge, I figure I'll say it here. With all the talk about Hotmail accounts not working, when I signed up, I literally immediatly opened up hotmail and went to my inbox, and the confirmation e-mail was already there.
By the way, the board amazes me with it's l33tness.

I posted similar on the old board . . . Hotmail worked fine for me too, with the medium setting of the Junk Mail Filter turned on.

Really? It satisfies me with it's averageness. :P The old DC board is hardly a comparative yardstick . . . unless of course one is defining lowest common denominators for a base level reference value. :lol:

Ah, here we are, sort of looks familiar, nice atmosphere . . . guess I'll belly up to the bar and see which Lounge Lizards hit on me . . . :D

Thanks, Bolty.

Very cool. :)

I'll go back to lurking now.

There's a really cool feature I've seen on sites based on Slash. A reply to original post button is nice, especially when you're buried three pages in a thread.

That's there. At the top/bottom of each thread page, you'll see a slightly larger "Add Reply" button.

Add Reply test -- using the Add Reply button at the top in line with New Topic and New Poll


Welcome To The New Lurker Lounge Forum! - --Pete - 02-15-2003

Hi,

And that is a bit confusing at first. Three reply buttons on the screen that do two different things. But we'll all figure it out by and by ;)

We have something like that on the SCG forums.

It doesn't work. Morons, as you know Pete, outnumber smart and absolutely wuv each other.

Edit : DAMN THE LACK OF U IN YOUR SPELLING OF COLOUR! DAMN YOU!!!!

Hehe.

Dufus reporting!

How do you get your own avatar to work? I've never had one but I just found a picture I really like on the net. First, I tried the site, then I saved it to Word and tried it that way. Neither worked.

Please help?

Hi all,

I've been a Lurker for a long time here, this new forum was a good excuse to register!


Welcome To The New Lurker Lounge Forum! - QuackorTheFoul - 02-18-2003

Nice board Bolty! No more corruption problems hopefully...
*goes back into lurking mode* :ph34r:

Oohh... nice smileys B)
