You might try Sengoku which is without a doubt better than any other skin (that isn't in my opinion, it is an indisputable fact).

Hm, you're right. I suppose Sengoku shall make for an adequate substitute until my love is brought back to me.

Oh. Well, then, how do you say, "Oh, snap! I can't read Scandinavian!", in Scandinavian? :laugh4:

Gah! All post/PM features have been disabled for me -- the bold/italics/underline functions, the Insert Link function, the smilies -- nothing works. Is this anyone else's experience as well?

it seems to work for me ~:)
gah

The PM functions are working for me also. It could be attributed to JavaScript being disabled, which is what the functions heavily rely on.

In Firefox you can check whether JavaScript is enabled by going to "Tools" menu and selecting "Options". Once the preferences windows has appeared, select "Content" and then ensure that the "Enable JavaScript" box is ticked.

If you've recently installed NoScript, it could also be attributed to that. You will need to enable scripting on the page for the functionality to work. To do this, right click anywhere in the page, select "NoScript" and then select "Allow totalwar.org".

Hope this is useful to you ~:)

BTW, just another small glitch I've noticed - the "Edit Favourite Smiles" option lacks an icon in the posting/PMing view. This causes a slight layout problem in Firefox due to the way it handles broken image links.

As I've said before, thank you for all your efforts so far Tosa :bow:

is it because somebody abused there powers?

Hello Martok,

Do you not see the bar? Then you may have some sort of minimalistic editor. https://forums.totalwar.org/betavb/p...do=editoptions Miscellaneous Options

What's worse of course is that my favorite smilies have been reset :cry:
Ah well, I memorized their code anyway. ~:)

Reset? That was not supposed to happen. The hack had to be upgraded, but would leave settings alone.

How was it reset?

Nice icon for the smiles Tosa ~:)

Sorry, but another glitch appeared when you added the favourite smilies button - in Firefox 3.0rc2 there is misalignment on the top bar of the editor:

https://i211.photobucket.com/albums/...ouriteSmil.jpg

There is also a milder level of misalignment in IE 7 which is of the opposite way round to the Firefox alignment (slightly lower than the table function rather than higher).

In Firefox 3, the editor area now seems much wider compared to how it appears in IE 7 and the smiles on the right hand panel are much more spaced out than they are in IE. The result of this Firefox 3 wideness is a vast expanse between the "wrap text functions" on the left hand side of the main options and the choose favourite similes button, which, as you can see, is grouped together with the table function on the far right hand side. A little bit of extra wideness has appeared in IE, but it's not quite as large as Firefox 3's.

Hope this is useful ~:)

BTW, in the UserCP, shouldn't favourite smilies come under "Setting & Options" rather than "Your Profile". It seems a little more logical since it is not an item which others are able to view.

Omanes: No joy with the Firefox settings. Everything was as it should be. However....

I think that may have been the problem. I was set to Standard Editor, so I switched to the Enhanced Interface. That seemed to do the trick. :yes:

Hmmm it was reset earlier (around 2 o'clock when I checked), but now all my favorite smilies are back.

When the board was back at ~3 AM it was mostly a standard install (only the LDM and another essential were updated). Confirmed to work: read posts, create posts, create topics and send/receive PM's.

All other things have to be re-acivated and/or modified and that will take time: hours and days at least. The data is there, it's just not visible.

Among the re-activated items are:
-Favourite smileys
-Userpage (the standard vbulletin makes the shout redundant, but it's nice to have the page)
-Usernotes, it was in the database all the time, now it can be read and updated in your usercp
-Username management (change your forumname)

The ancient tablecode kept working, that's nice.

Glad you got it working Martok.

Other things:
I see an X al the right of the Originally post... quotes.
And there is not a diferenciator between stickies and regular threads.

Another tiny glitch I've just noticed is that the favourite smilies selection area acts a little oddly. Rather than just showing the smilies, it shows the entire interface and the smilies:

https://i211.photobucket.com/albums/...sDuplicate.jpg

Sorry if I'm getting annoying ~:(

I've been having massive slowdowns since the upgrade as well. Before I could load almost any page in just a few seconds, now it can take over two minutes...

Happens to me at times too now. Must be because Tosa is tweaking things in the background and fixing code etc.

Of course mass pruning some old threads and members would help :grin:

Actually, it appears I spoke too soon. My post/PM functions have stopped working again, and I've already double-checked to make sure I didn't have my Misc options set to Basic Editor (currently set it back to Standard Editor -- it doesn't seem to make a difference between that and Enhanced Interface). Also, I discovered I have the same problem with Internet Explorer, so it's not just my Firefox browser. :wall:

That's odd, it didn't do so before, nor does it do on the test board. I'll check for conflicts with other hacks.

Fixed for now.

What is it that you can't do? You can can't use the bb-code buttons nor create a PM?

Basically the entire editor and smilies are non clickable as if they were part of the background.
What's funny is that they do display their tooltips when you mouse-over.

:dizzy2::embarassed::inquisitive::juggle2::shame: :yes:
:huh::shocked::operator::balloon3::daisy: :playingball: :candle::medievalcheers::ave:

Bold Italics Underline color font size

All can be clicked here. Maybe you need to upgrade Java at Sun?

I can create posts and PM's no problem. However:

I have the newest version and it was all working fine earlier before my favorite smilies were restored.

[edit]
Actually, now that I think of it, I remember changing some option regarding java possibly earlier that may have triggered that, but I cannot seem to find that option anywhere in the UserCP again. Could have been with another software I was using during the day instead though. Too many journal articles floating around me to remember.

[edit2]
nvm, I just remembered that was in Adobe Acrobat.

So, the problem is to click the icons in your favourite list?

:dizzy2:

They work for me in FireFox.

Tosa using a member account in Opera.

None works here.

Well you're still doing better than I am. As I said earlier, nothing works for me in Firefox or IE.

Tosa member in FireFox:

Nothing works.

Seems a membergroup and a browser problem or?

Cache is playing tricks :)

It doesn't work anymore here either.

I'll disable the Fav Hack for a bit.
