Subtleknifewielder Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Are you sure there's nothing else that can be done? Because that isn't really an option right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is causing the placement of those pop-ups to be where they are on your browser. Firefox and IE8 render the page perfectly fine because IP.Board 3 was designed around those two main browsers and HTML and CSS standards. IE8, Firefox (3.0+), Opera, Safari, and Chrome all will render the site perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd link, but there's the whole "no 3rd party software" thing. You can Google it up yourself. I recommend Opera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I can get around it by going back to the forum index, hard-refreshing then clicking the thing right away. If I click something else on the page first, it usually doesn't work. By the way, I'm using Firefox 3.5.7 on Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic". Edited February 9, 2010 by Arrnea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedestro Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 ^ I think I've discovered the issue. Throughout the normal weekday, I log in the CN forums around 5 different computers. This time, I only logged in at home and it hasn't been logging me out over and over. Anyway this can be fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time, if you intend to log in to the forum on another computer, log out of the forum on the computer you're currently using before logging into it on another computer.

Subtleknifewielder Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) I don't know if it's a forum issue per se; it might be my e-mail on yahoo, but just to be safe... I'm subscribed to several forums with instant notification, and it is supposed to include the text of the OP when it is sent to my e-mail account. However--if the OP includes anything in quote tags, it is ommitted from the e-mail. EDIT: Spelling and grammar check...

I could change the setting, but there's no reason to. It may cause a small annoyance for the few players who don't log off of their accounts before changing computers, but by doing so it ensures that everyone's accounts are more protected.

lonewolfe2015 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I've been trying to find links to avatars which aren't long... but alas every link to anything I like has been too long to fit within the character limit and has tried to upload half made links. Most of them have been gif files which are too big to upload from my computer but would be fine if I could just use the direct link from the website... which is too long. For instance, my current Avatar fits just barely, but if I tried to upload via my computer it goes past the size limit. Is there anything we can do to increase the character limit for links to avatars or is there perhaps an outside source? I'd use tinyurl if it put the extension at the end... which it doesn't.
