I've got to ask about the avatar/photo setting though, is this the new IP.Board standard? I just find cropped avatars somewhat annoying.

Stop ignoring me.

You could always look it up.

3 - the choice of skin should be optional, like i said, i like the background dragon but i liked the other skin more. :/

The very classy new skin has really grown on me in the last 24 hours and I'd probably keep it, but I'll second this all the same. If it's technically feasible, it would be nice to have both of them available.

[Kaeloree]

Unfortunately it's not technically feasible; if it was, we wouldn't have needed to make a new skin. :-)

Will reply to more later, busy celebrating Australia day!

Were the new updates to the forum software suppose to improve spam blocking, cause I've still seen quite a few spam posts since the update, and many of the latest Community Status Updates seem to be advertisements for prostitutes, torrents, and bras... Just sayin

Note that I'm not complaining to any of our admins at all. As there was a big to-do concerning spam a while back, I'm just making a general comment/query.

I have a "Topic Moderation" button at the top of every thread, but trying to use either of the options (Rename Topic or Set Invisible) returns an error:

[#103119.5] You do not have permission to carry out that function.

Can/should this button be hidden for those who do not have the administrative privileges to use it? I mention it because I figure the admins who would have the ability to hide it also have the ability to use it, so they wouldn't know it was visible to the average user.

On a side note, does each member have a unique SHS email address? For me, something like Sam.@spellholdstudios.net or 10485@spellholdstudios.net ?
Used to, people could send emails to me through SHS via http://www.shsforums...=Mail&MID=10485 but that link no longer works and I can’t seem to find an equivalent.

I'm also experiencing severe scrolling lag with firefox 3.6. When I adblocked the dragon background the lag was gone (mostly, it's still a little choppy).

Scrolling is...not very smooth on Opera 11.6. On Firefox 9.0.1, it's nearly perfect.

Very nice looking, though. I did, however, like the darker red banner vs. this orangey red...but I'll live.

Gorgeous Design! And it runs smoothly on my machine

By the way, is there any chance for a shoutbox on the site? I have no idea how do you people communicate, it's weird

[Archmage Silver]

The bookmark icon is still missing - at least it's for me.

[MiLeah]

Okay, so I'm late. But my excuse is that I was comparing what this new upgrade has to offer. And I can see a huge improvement!
Congratz on finishing, and nice job on the make-over. I like this new design. Feels lighter and somehow 'cleaner'.

Erhm, the download pages "Previous Versions" links all lead to this, or simular pages:

An Error Occurred
Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.
[#108119] We could not find the file specified

[Kaeloree]

Yes, only current versions are downloadable.

Scrolling should be significantly smoother now (shift+F5 or cmd+shift+R to make sure you get the latest version of the stylesheet files). For those who have the Segoe UI font installed (Windows Vista/7/8—XP users can and definitely should get the font due to its widespread usage, the easiest way is probably by installing Windows Live Essentials) should have much more readable text now.

Tons of small tweaks have been made and more changes are incoming, including the glorious restoration of the favicon.

Err, actually, to refresh the cache, it's Ctrl + F5
Works great now, thanks !

Nice work, the scrolling experience is much smoother with Firefox 9.0.1. Now if I just could convince Firefox that it's a good idea to save my login details in a way that they actually show up in the new sign in form...

And long live the favicon! Is it of a revised design? Inquiring minds need to know!

[Aranthys]

Just to let you know, when you're browsing the forum, scrolling is stil bad.
But perfect when you're reading a topic

Seems like there's another CSS item you've got to change

Edit.: nevermind, seems okay now. Weird

The new HTML seems to be swallowing up CHARNAME's and other such tokens. Unless I'm just incompetent, which is entirely possible! Is there a way to fix that or do you need to use [ CODE ] now?

[Kaeloree]

That's not a new problem, < CHARNAME > has never worked, unfortunately. You have to use [code=auto:0] or similar. =/
