I'd like the ability to choose if I want to use a custom avatar or a TW avatar
You can. But if you chose one of you can't see the other.Quote:

Heh ... just noticed that the Mark Forum Read doesn't seem to be working in this forum though. I select it and the threads remain unread, rather than change to read. I'm using the earth-tone skin if that makes a difference (I think it's galled "The Guild" but I'm not positive).Quote:

Are you using the right Steam account info? Many people try and use their Steam name instead of their profile. Profiles are always numbers, unless you've changed it manually, which most haven't. See this post for more details.Quote:

My subscriptions (instant notification by email) aren't actually notifying me at all. I changed my email and rebuilt my subs, but I never get the emails at all.

Someone should fix "Gallery" shortcut on the main page.
Well you learn something new everyday... I wasn't aware we had a gallery there. Links now point to the forum gallery feature.
Maybe it's time to pull the HOF announcements? Trying to follow the link now only results in a page explaining that I don't have permission to view it and helpfully suggesting I log out to fix the issue... :inquisitive:
I've changed the announcement end date so that it no longer appears.
Error I just got now from clicking "My profile"Quote:
Warning: DOMDocument::load(http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7...34640351?xml=1) [domdocument.load]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable in [path]/member.php(515) : eval()'d code on line 65
Warning: DOMDocument::load() [domdocument.load]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198034640351?xml=1" in [path]/member.php(515) : eval()'d code on line 65
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/member.php(515) : eval()'d code on line 67
That's common. It occurs when Steam is down or otherwise slow to respond to the forum's request for your Steam ID info. The error goes away once Steam gets its act together. Usually it will go away if you refresh once or twice.
That's no problem, was no biggy, just pasting it in here incase it needed your expertise.
How about increasing the PM cap? Has that been floated about yet?
Standard inbox should now be 1000 since May 31st. Is this not the case with your account?Quote:

Been quite a few like that now.
Could you please don't make the thread rating take the whole right side of the post of the entire post, it's better if it only takes the top, it won't disturb the layout.
Thank you :grin:

Is this still an issue? We cannot replicate the problem, all images display fine for us.Quote:

Also, please let me know if you experience it in any other forum. I don't think you should, as it was probably a setting left over from when the Backroom was locked down a bit, but keep your eyes peeled for it just in case.
Yes, it is working for me now. At least in the backroom! If I see it elsewhere, I will bring it back up.
In the total war general forums, there is a sub forum, the apothecary. In that sub forum, there is another sub forum, also called the apothecary. Is that intentional, or...?
Is it possible to make the "who posted" section open up in a new tab rather then window?
Right click the link and select Open in New Tab.
It's intentional, but silly. It will be better organized later this week.Quote:

I do know that you can do the above, I just wondered whether it could be changed. (More of a curiosity thing.)
Yes, it's possible.
Is it possible for mentions to send an email? (or at least have an option for that?)
Unfortunately, that's beyond our abilities.Quote:

That seems a bit rash. Did someone egg them on?
This is probably down to my browser, and not an issue with the org itself (in fact, it's not even an issue, more an oddity), but thought I'd mention it anyway.
Whenever I go through my history tab in Chrome and select the Org homepage, there are usually two listings saying 'The Org forums.totalwar.org' with different time stamps for each. One will bring you to the Org homepage, and one will just bring up a blank page. Is there a particular reason for this, never noticed it happening with any other website.
Like I say it's not even an issue, just seems odd, so I don't actually expect anyone to look into it. Unless they want to.... ~;)
What's the URL for the blank page?
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/priva...insertpm&pmid=
Looks like it's related to pms.
That is indeed a blank page. The URL looks like it's part of a form submission, which indicates that it's blank because the information for the form hasn't been saved along with the URL. It's not a bug or error, but there's no reason to have it in your history. I recommend just deleting that entry if it's confusing you.
That's odd when I visit that URL I see the Senior Members private pr0n stash....
No nothing there at all, must be an error - delete it and all will be well. ~:)
I can't open spoilers on my phone when using the mobile skin. I can open spoilers at twc where there is no mobile skin. Is it my phone that's causing trouble or is there something wrong with the skin?
What phone/OS are you using, and which skin? If it's the default mobile skin, I recommend trying to use Lightweight.
Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Phone. I guess it is the default skin, I will try the other.
Edit: It works better yes, but it is uglier :D
Does it happen on both spoiler and ex tags? For testing purposes:
Spoiler tag:

Ex tag:
Yes, I can't open either of them when using the default mobile skin (they both work in lightweight). I push the show button and it register it but it doesn't open the spoiler.
Confirmed, this is an issue with vbulletin's default Mobile skin. I'll look for a way to fix this, but haven't found any solutions off-hand. I suspect the mobile skin simply disables javascript which would make a workaround difficult.
I am unable to edit my signature, using Opera (-next) or Firefox (18.0.0 ...!). Also unable to edit some posts (first post of the SD tool thread linked to in my signature).
What happens is, I click the edit button but the box with the VBulletin code remains empty -- or at least I am unable to *see* the code (could be a case of white text on white background or similar).
EDIT: Screenshot of the problem (with dragonfly open so you can see the HTML structure of the textbox):

Confirmed. I suspect this is the result of some change our host made to the server. I shall look into it.
I have fixed this problem (I think). The issue is that the server was recently upgraded to PHP 5.4, but vBulletin is not yet fully compatible with that version. Specifically, it has some issues with handling special characters due to issues with UTF-8. I made a change to the code which appears to have resolved the blank edit box issue, but it's entirely possible that there are more side-effects of the PHP upgrade out there that I have not yet noticed. I actually fixed another error last week that was also related to a UTF issue, and it occurs to me now that that one was probably also related to the PHP upgrade. So, please keep your eyes peeled for any oddities on the forum, particularly in any posts that contain non-standard characters.
Thanks, it seems to have done the trick.
Made a post in the Mead Hall. Most of it appeared in white space. Made another post. The portion in white space remained, though now it appeared beneath the newest post. See spoiler.

Edit: Tried editing the post with no changes, and after saving everything returned to normal. I suppose that's that.
I've experienced similar things when posting on occasion. I think it's some kind of Chrome-related issue. Refreshing the page fixes it.
I just noticed that in the avatar selection section in my profile I can choose Mod, Admin, Custom, Mafia etc avatars as well. Is this intentional or a mistake?
For example I chose TinCows avatar.
And I'm a member of Creative Assembly.
@The King @Visorslash
Thanks, I think I fixed the problem. I swapped both of your avatars to something default. Please check and let me know if you can still choose the categories that were intended to be disabled.
No, I can't access admin/mod/CA avatars anymore, I imagine it would be the same for The King.
Yes, it's the same for me.
Great, thanks again guys. It's really helpful when people point out stuff like this since I'd never find it otherwise. :bow:
Clicking on Lemur thread about the 5th faction in the Rome2 forum yields this:

@Kralizec, please see this thread.
A very minor issue, but I just noticed that timers don't show up on the 'Frontpage' skin (at least, not for me). Is it possible to change this?

That's intentional: the Backroom has been public for a while now.
Frontroom moderator Secura was last online 13 days ago. If I hadn't checked that I might think that my report was outright ignored and that Backroom content was now allowed in the Frontroom.
Going MIA is totally understandable, but it sounds reasonable to assign a supporting mod to the area, if possible.
:bow:
I see Andres has assumed the role; thanks for taking my suggestion into consideration :bow:Quote:
