Hi dglthrawn,

I think it's a coding thing.

This Forum is a vBulletin Forum (the old one was a php one).

If you look at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/ (which I think epitomises what our Forum could look like - which it should do, since they created it), you can see how the Forum Tools, etc. are supposed to look/function.

I've already added this to my list of jobs for the developer, along with the fact that you can't link to a User's Profile from within a post unless you open a new tab. These will be top priority - although I don't yet have a completion date.

I'm also going to go through that vBulletin Forum and see what else I can request.

Hey Zippykins,

I'm still looking into this one. I'm using the forum provider's own forum (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/) to look at the capabilities of our forum. I'll have a snoop around on theirs. If they can do it, then we'll be able to. I'll let you know how I get on...

I saw the "Keeley" ad again Liz, but in the light of day it doesn't seem as bad as I remembered. Still ugly and annoying but within the realms of ignorable.
soz if I made a fuss. I get cranky late at night.

The ads that spread over the page are another story though, I'm sure we'd all be grateful if you could keep those nasties away.

Liz is there any chance of putting an avatar resizer on the site or maybe a link to one. It would save an awful lot of faffing about trying to find one for newbies ( and me ) Fankoo.

The pic you use for an av doesn't have to be the exact size required. You can use a bigger pic and it will shrink it down for you.

for instance I used this



and it shrunk it down for me. try it.

I shall. Fankoo.

The drop down adverts on the front page of the forum are starting to get on my tits.

and one other thing, when you are not loged in but want to post on something you are reading, you get the log in box come up and then once logged in it doesn't take you back to the post you were last reading so you have to mess around finding it again, its a little annoying.

The whole Forum was down today, briefly neither Jonesy nor I could get on it. So I think it was probably a technical blip. No mods touched your posts, of course.
