i noticed that links in posts no longer open in a new window (or tab)... personally i would prefer they did open in a new window or tab so as not to take me away from standardshift.

oh sweet! if a post is placed between when you hit reply and when you hit submit it shows it to you and says "At least one new post has been made to this topic. You may wish to review your post in light of this."

now that is super cool!

//edit: except i didn't listen lol: yay for birthdays!

Agreed that is a nice feature. There are many times when somebody types something in between.

I've noticed that a new forum feature is that bots are now shown in the who's active listing on the bottom? At first I the thought the forum was very popular today but then I realized half of them were listed as bots. :D

Holy crap this is so awesome woot woot! Awesome stuff guys! :mrgreen: And we even have 1 new emoticon to play with.

I do have a problem with the post date being on the right side, like Watkins. Perhaps switch it with post subject? Nobody ever fills out the subject in posts anyway.

That and I couldnt find the quote button.

Guys let's get rid of this word censoring thing!

Go into User Control Panel > Board preferences > Edit display options. Click the no button on Enable word censoring.

Awesome stuff. f**k yeah. This f**k shit should turn into the actual words when you have doing your shit right.

f**k shit.

Because there is a built-in censor by default at the global level of phpbb3, since most forums run with one. f**k yeah!

Nope.

Also, I noticed that the top banners have been made more compact by putting them side by side. I suggest you move the SS banner to the left instead of having the ad banner there...most important stuff should always be on the left.

They are stacked, added a break to make sure they stay that way.

Then again, advertising might be more important... I kid! :wink:

Gave your avatar a try leedeth, seems to be working okay.
