Nice work on the upgrade. I have two issues:

1. My TobEx public test release .rar attachment gets corrupted with an extra byte (0xA) at the start of the file when I upload. I have tried uploading multiple times with the same result.

2. I cannot PM a member of the forum with an apostrophe (') in the name.

I'm having the same problem with my bigger BG2 fonts. Is this happening to all .rar uploads ?. Temporary solutions :

- While Winrar fails to open the .rar archive, 7zip opens it without problems.
- Zip or 7zip files seem to work just fine.

Just a side comment - if you don't log in and try to post as guest, the anti-spam captcha picture alignment measure thing - it sucks, big time. I had no idea what kind of picture matching game it was trying to tell me to play and I was staring at it for longer than I should have been. I'm using Firefox 9.0.1 and I am pretty sure the browser was just messing something up on the image display, hence the "huhbleerg?" inability to overcome the captcha test. That or it really is adult proof! FYI

I have a request. One thing really annoys me, but I may be doing something wrong.
When I get new message, then I click the small envelope on the top. The list of latest conversations appear. When I click to open the one with new replies, it always opens on a first post (first page). Is it possible to make it skip to the last read post in the conversation?

I just PM'd K'aeloree last night and it worked for me.

I don't have a problem with getting K'aeloree to show up for PM either, the usual "first three characters must be typed before suggestion" applies as normal - so after "K'a" his/her name pop up.

A screenshot of my "posting as guest captcha confuzzlement" may be more helpful than my descriptive words.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with that...

Have you tried typing Mayday Mayday?

It appears K'aeloree does work. However, if I put hindo's doom into the Other Recipient's field, I am not allowed to send and hindo's doom's name is shortened to hindo.

I think it works for me. I tried sending a PM to you with hindo as Other Recipient. Using FF 9.01 on W7.

I've had both .zip and .7z files corrupted. For example the latest Khalid NPC for BG2 (zip) and a 9MB BIF (7zip). I could repair the zip with a hex editor (removing the aforementioned extra byte), but it did not work for the 7zip.

I don't know what changed, but the apostrophes seem to be working now.

I don't know if there has been any further optimization going on, but the forums appear to function very smoothly today.

As I've said before, this is the only skin that will be available. The old skin does not work with the current version of IPB. We are looking into ways of improving it for those with slower computers.

Just so you all know, we're keeping a close eye on this thread and making small improvements, glad some of them are working! I'm not sure what was up with the apostrophe thing, because I'm relatively sure we didn't change anything there. It's possible the software is becoming sentient. Let us just hope it does not decide we are unworthy.

AdBlocking the background image takes care of the performance problems for me.

i see, i'd like to ask, the image is .bmp, 24 or 32 bit? did you try other skins to see if this one here may be the cause? it's possible to get the quick shortcut in the bottom back?

The background image isn't a .bmp image - that's not even a web format. It's a scalable 1920x1200 .jpg image. You can check stuff like this yourself - for Firefox, just open the browser's context menu with a right-click over the image and select "View Background Image". After that you'll see the image and it's only a matter of opening the context menu again, and selecting "View Image Info".

My RSS feed to SHS forum threads died since forum upgrade and, what's worse, each time I'm trying to get myself new one, I've got some weird error:

Ошибка синтаксического анализа XML: объявление XML или текста не в начале сущности
Адрес: http://www.shsforums.net/rss/forums/1-shs-rss/
Строка 2, символ 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
^

It states something along the lines of "XML sintax analisys mistake: calling XML or text not at the start of entity at line 2 symbol 1"
Sorry for (possibly) horrible translation, it's because I had no idea what it means even in russian
Is it possible for me to make RSS feed to work again, as I'm really attached to it?

BTW, I'm using FF 3.6.26.
