Trial of semi colons ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Full colons:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Apostrophes ‘’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’
Sorry Davo, I can't replicate your problem.
Very odd Bob, thanks for trying though, I?m using Windows XP home edition, and office XP with the default word template.
Oh well.................
Computers are a constant source of frustration for me (and I used to be a systems analyst).
Cheers Dave
incedently if I cut your post paste it into word then paste it back into the forum I get this.

Davo
What browser are you using?
I couldn't even post with netscape but no probs with Internet explorer.
Maybe it isn't word or xp at all.
Just a suggestion
cheers
Jim
Ah yes Jim you are my hero
I'm using Opera and as you suggest when I try explorer it works ok, I like Opera though and it used to be ok. never mind.........
Thanks again Dave

Apple's Safari works fine, cutting and pasting from Appleworks!
:D :D :D
Just thought I'd do that because I'm a smartie pants!
Cheers,
P
Aaaah the problem there is Apples stuck in the mud, Microsoft etc keep developing not for the better but developing none the less :D :D :D
I have just scrolled down to the bottom of the index page to the "What's Going On? .... Currently Active Users". First of all it is good to see that I am listed first but I have also noticed that "Rocker" and "Derekcohen" both have a small "+" sign next to their names .... no other user has this. What does the "+" represent? and where can I get one??

Stinky
The + means that the user is on your Buddy List.
See the bottom of this page.

You can increase the duration of the text displayed by increasing the double click time, however this will also delay the text being displayed by the time set for the double click time. The default duration the tip is shown for is 10x the double click time. You can increase the double click time in the Mouse applet of the Control Panel.
When I click on new posts first up I will get a listing of about 3 pages of stuff. After reading the ones I am interested in I click on new posts again to see if there are any more recent ones that have come in while I was reading the others. Usually, this will just update the new posts,. However, if it has been a while since I originally asked for the new posts and I click it after about 1/2 an hour (total guess at time) then the display will ONLY show the most recent of posts and I lose the others. :(
Can this complete update time be increased or is just a glitch?
Definitely a half hour. Just tested it.
Anybody know how to change to a custom avatar instead of selecting from the list already available. I can't do it. :rolleyes:
I was going to say yes because it used to be a simple thing to do on the old version of VBulletin. I've just checked though and I can't see how you do it now either.
I know this is not helping you, but I'd like to know how to do it now too.
Confused
Craig
This was asked earlier in the post but apparently we have to wait until Neil returns to find out how it can be done.
Gooday all.
I have been slack in answering most things.
In all honesty I do not know how to do most of the things you asked about.
Barry is right: Wait until Neil gets home and those things that can be fixed shall be. :confused:
Icould probably do some of them but I may bugger the board up as well which would make even more people hostile :eek:
So hang in there fellers and ladies.
Curiously, if I impatiently double click my bookmark shortcut, the nasty server thinks I've been there half a second ago, and even if I haven't been around for a day or two the nasty thing tells me there are no new posts!Quote:

I think there is a time bizzo there somewhere to give an extension by day/week or whatever, but don't know if it applies in this situation.
Must try!

My problem with the new board is this smiles ..... :p
The problem being ..... the colouration makes it look sick.
Other than that all is working well.
OK, I'm back and so are the Custom Avatars and Custom User Titles.
For those who don't use custom user titles there are a whole new set of user titles, as follows:
Administrator: The Gods of these Forums with the power to move mountains and all sorts of other really neat stuff.
Super Moderators: Demi Gods with similar powers but not quite as as many.
Moderators: Lesser demi Gods with power over their own realm.
Apprentice (New Members): 0 - 19 posts.
Novice: 20 - 49 posts
Member: 50 - 99 posts
Senior Member: 100 - 499 posts
Gold Member: 500 - 999 posts
Diamond Member: 1,000 - 1,499 posts
Most Valued Member: 1,500+ posts
Other good stuff will come as I have a bit more time to investigate the full workings and potential of this new beast. Fun things like User reputations and other really cool stuff which I haven't quite figured out just yet.
Cheers - Neil :D
Hey Neil! Welcome back!
I guessed you'd been fiddling around because the whole thing turned a pale yellowy orange again, just when I was getting used to the classy greys...Love the rest of your work though!
Thanks,
P
P - You can go back to the classy greys (which for the non colour blind are actually classy blues) by going to the bottom of the page and changing the setup from Neils :) to vBulletin 3 :rolleyes: or if you're brave enough, to Triton 2 :eek:
Cheers - Neil :D
I just saw that I made senior member with 100 posts :D are you sure that senior member is 200-499 posts Or is it like being a runner where women become veterans at a younger age than men :p
Neil
leave us colour blind *&*&^ alone.
Also :eek: is right when it comes to Triton users.
Go on crucify me. Why should kenmill be the only one everyone hates?
He isnt.Quote:

Where has all the pics gone?
1.When I look at a thread with an image, i get a blank box, with a mesaage saying attached images.
2. I go to user CP change the preference to not show pics, then recheck the thread, i now have a link, which I can click on to see pic,
3. Back to user Cp change preference to show pics, check thread then the pic shows as per normal.
Log in next time and the whole thing starts from 1.
What the hell am I doin' wrong, this all only started a couple of days ago?
No platinum, Ive always wanted to go platinum. :(Quote:

If anyone else is having proplems seing the thumbnails let's know what browser you are using and we will see if there is a common thread. :rolleyes:
Cheers - Neil
PS I couldn't spell platinum! :(
It looks like even Neil is wary of the spelling Nazi's :eek:Quote:

I get the same thing with the thumbnails. There is a box but no thumbnail. BUT i can move the cursor to where the link should be and then i click and the picture opens up in a new windom.
I am using IE ver 6.0.2800.11061S
Paul
I'm using IE ver 6 with all the updates.
I don't get the link without first going through the hoops as explained.
Followed outbacks tip, except when I log in again everthing is OK.Quote:

What happened?
http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...3&page=1&pp=15
Maybe cause its an old post?
Al
No because earlier in the day they were thumbnail pictures and some of them were only posted today.
It looks the same in the other threads
