Yeah, I agree. Kind of like those guys who sit around all day ogling fully-clothed cartoon women. They really need a life. |

I have a feeling the format we are in is just temporary. I can't imagine them actually taking away such options. |

The "missing" reply button is because we removed the threaded view. It was a part of the threaded modification as it was necessarry to know what post a person was replying to when using threaded.
The threaded mod was very buggy, not only in its own features, but in the way it affected other pieces of the forum. We weren't aware of very many people using it, but perhaps if there's enough demand, we'll bring it back (or a different implementation that does the same thing, without so many bugs) at a future time. Perhaps when we upgrade to phpBB 3.x The spoiler tag will most likely be back very soon. I'm not sure why the font size and color tags are gone, but if I may say so myself, good riddance. Most people did not use them appropriately. Avatar changing was most probably a bug and will be back soon. FYI: This wasn't a "format change" but rather a complete deletion and re-instalation of the forum software (while maintaining the existing database). It had just become too messed up following countless upgrades (all the way back to phpBB2 beta) and buggy mods (like the threaded view mod). -t Last edited by Tempest on Thu Sep 28, 2006 6:51 pm; edited 2 times in total |

Hopefully. I'm just glad I remembered to look in this forum to see if anybody else had the same problem I did before I went and started my own thread about it. It's quite odd. I also notice that as I'm typing this post the Subject box is empty at the top of Post a Reply thing on this page. Is anyone else having that problem as well? Also, it doesn't tell me what topic I'm viewing. It usually says "Anime News Network Forum Index -> Bugs & Technical Questions -> (thread)". Anybody else experiencing that? |

Yeah hopefully they will fix that. I get up and away from my computer a lot, and when I come back knowing the title of what I may have been typing or repiling to is important. spoiler[Testing] edit: Also there is no titles on the index page either.

I'm glad it;s gone - I kept clicking the wrong link ad reloading the thread rather than returning o the forum. Still, it is now had to tell what thread you are in. |

Yep, having that problem. I actually use that frequently too. It doesn't quite bother me as much as the fact that some of the posts are still showing as new, no matter how many times I visit them. |

Hopefully. Because I wanted to change my avatar into the one of Kakashi from Naruto. |

Hm, good thing I picked a good avatar to stick to for the time being. Wouldn't mind keeping Ballot from Mardock Scramble for another good while.
With the exception of the missing spoiler tags and colored tags (I used it for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni!), and the missing reply button as well (although it takes no more than 5 more seconds to quote and delete the quoted post), this current "skin" functions and looks like pretty much every other phpBB-powered forum out there. It's kind of bland, but it helps me now appreciate all the great modifications made by ANN to the rather uninteresting default layout. (And is it just me, or is every page in the forum loading faster right now?) |

I have to say that I don't particularly like the fact that the thread topic title doesn't appear anymore. I look at so many posts via my e-mail topic notifications and via the forum directly, I get confused unless the thread title is listed.
I also hope that they bring back the spoiler tags as well, font size and color don't really matter to me. |

Wow, I didn't think *that* many bugs would pop up.
- added the button for the spoiler tag (but it was always possible to use it by just typing it in) - fixed the missing avatar upload - added latest thread title on index page - fixed the skin problem - added the topic title when replying NOT BUGS: - color/size tags were removed on purpose - threaded view was removed on purpose; it's great for Q&A-type forums but not for discussions - reply button is at the end of the thread because you're supposed to read the discussion before replying

Oooooh. The e-mail topic reply notifications now have the thread title in the subject line. Thanks, that's nice.
I'm still getting the duplicate e-mails for each new notification, though. 
Also, is this...
...actually true? I don't think I have ever seen more than 150 or so on line at a time. What the heck was going on that day? Last edited by ManOfRust on Fri Sep 29, 2006 1:51 am; edited 1 time in total |

Yes, it is possible to do the spoiler tag manually, by typing [spoiler] and then repeating the process at the end, though I don't think some people don't know that you're supposed to put [/] before spoiler at the end. It looks though that you can still put size on manually unless you prohibited it. |
