Post by: Ken Fitlike on April 08, 2005, 08:51:09 PM: Please make C & C++ separate from java and etc. What sort of programming language is 'etc' anyway?

Post by: ober on April 08, 2005, 08:51:33 PM: umm... ok. Good point.

Post by: Ken Fitlike on April 08, 2005, 08:54:39 PM: Thanks Ober - but call it 'C & C++' because some purist will inevitably declare that there's no such language as 'c/c++'.

To save me saying 'Thanks Ober' all the time I'll add it to my sig.

Post by: Ken Fitlike on April 08, 2005, 09:08:59 PM: Looks ok. For now. ;)

When you have time would it be possible to remove those awful scrollbars from postings of code? I don't know how popular/unpopular they might be, however; it may be that someone actually prefers them.

Post by: A Bit of Fruit on April 08, 2005, 09:34:21 PM: Yeah and can we change the layout so that the names arnt on the top of each post?
Title: forum suggestions
Post by: ober on April 08, 2005, 10:14:35 PM: I'll be looking into both of those. I haven't seen the option for the layout change yet, but I haven't been through everything.

Post by: ober on April 08, 2005, 10:22:02 PM: AH HA! Found it.... well, the layout one anyways... I gotta find the code thing now.

EDIT: I think I fixed that one too.

Post by: Ken Fitlike on April 09, 2005, 11:22:12 AM: Perhaps increasing the capacity of stored personal messages to more than 50 would be a good idea?

Avatars are working just fine. I didn't change anything to make it so. Although I guess I could upload some default ones.

I don't know of a limit, and if there is one, I cannot change it, or at least I have not found the option.

How does that work? When I go into usercp-->edit avatar the only option is 'Do not use an avatar' and it's selected.

You have 2 messages stored, of a total 50 allowed.
Methinks you need to create an account as an ordinary user, Ober - could it be that your admin account doesn't have the same default limitations?

Post by: ober on April 09, 2005, 07:59:21 PM: Hmm... I should do that. But like I said, in the admin panel, avatars are turned on.

Post by: Mike on April 10, 2005, 12:24:29 PM: Allow "Report Bad Post" on your own posts!

I've never understood why boards disable it for your own posts. Sometimes we screwup and if we can't delete or edit a post how are we suppose to rectify it?
