vBB config.

Would someone care to

• Remove the "members" button, that has been disabled for some reason (assumedly)
• Fix the search option so I don't have to define "4 key words" to even be able to search for everything, its just impractical and annoying, and makes searching for certain posts or threads an impossibility.
• Return the original (decent*) smilies ... this one is lowest on meh list of annoyances that need to be sorted out

*Sorry Trebz.

Need polls

 

[old.Kez]

Also, whoever set it up has managed to hide the version revision at the bottom of the page.

Not a big issue obviously, but still, if we're going to ask for things to be fixed, may as well get them all.

 

[Testin da Cable]

for what it's worth, I agree with Kez

 

[old.Kez]

Apparently its not worth much :/

• Remove postcounts from thread tables & add more user ranks(?) - or just get rid of both and have user definable (read: user chooses) ranks and just leave signup date.

Spam fucks me off

 

[Testin da Cable]

we'll just have to wait and see

On the subject of forum buttons, how come nobody ever uses the calendar button, its potentially a very usefull feature.

 

[MYstIC G]

personally its because I have a little thing called Outlook 2000 on my desktop.....

3) The smilies are fine

The version info has been removed for security reasons. As a user you do not need to know the version of VB we are running.

When exploits are published the first thing a "kiddie" will do is try and discover if we run the same version that the exploit is for.

This way, it's a little more inconvient as we don't hand the info on a plate.

It won't be coming back

Briefly touched by the hand of God...

An' whadde do? Took a button away.

No new smilies. No polls. No modified search facility.

Aaaah, fuggit.

 

[Deebs]

The search facility is fine. It just expects a word of at least 4chars to work.

Whats wrong with that?

As for smilies, find me some you would like to see.

 

[Summo]

Okay. I'l pick out a few good general-purpose ones.

Bear with me...

[Summo]

Damn! Plauder Smilies is down! Just when I need them! I'm missing the window...

...but definitely the Pokey

 

[Embattle]

The original and best http://www.mysmilies.com/

 

[Summo]

Okay, I think these ones cover a variety of possibilities which the existing ones do not. I've purposely picked out slightly too many so you can edit them down

What about the bummie ? That one cracks me up

 

[Summo]

Hardly appropriate, Wijmeister. Think of the children.

This forum'll go down the pan if we allow that sort of thing. Tsch.

That said, I'll try and find it.

 

[Wij]

thx m8

 

[old.Kez]

Danke Mister DBs ))))))

(Though I'm bloody sure that the search words I've put in before have been up to 3 words or so, and it still complained, but nm)

I can sleep easy at night now

 

[Summo]

There ya go, Wij! Bummie added as requested

I'll keep editing my post above to add any more smilies, though I don't think there should be too many. Hopefully by keeping them all together in one friendly place, DBs will be more inclined to bother looking at them.

Hows about it, DBs? Help out some forum junkies?

 

[Wij]

Cool a bummie and a m00ie

Where's the snoggie gone ?

 

[Summo]

There ya go.

 

[Wij]

hehe, thx

 

[Summo]

Working on a new bummie, Wijlet. This is an early, non-transparent beta.

 

[MYstIC G]

make the yellow one shoot itself or self distruct and that would be top notch
