  • I agree. But it's not an option I get to set without messing around in the extension's .php files.
    On the plus side, it seems to remember the last setting you used, and I've found it handy for deliberately not using BBCode already.
  • Aha! You fell into the same trap as me and didn't select the BBCode button option sneakily hiding just above the 'Character Count' thingy :-)
  • The only one of my recent downloads that shows as consistently lower bitrates (but still VBR) is the new Half Man Half Biscuit album. Everything else seems to be in the 180 - 220 area, which is more or less what I'd expect.

    Could be a co…

  • Qwynwyn - A list of members is now available via a new tab at the top.

    Televiper - The new discussion filters and subscription options should mostly cover what you wanted I think. Best options I could find anyway.

  • It's the same organisation as 'allofmp3', which means it's probably just as illegal.
    By all accounts they used to be safe enough to use, and there was some Russian copyright law loophole argument they used to defend themselves, but basically t…
  • Sorry about the sudden failure of BBCode, the hosts have lost some files.
    Will be moving elsewhere soon.

  • BBCode test:
    Theatre of Tragedy - Storm
    Hope this works.
  • Mixtape things!! My head nearly exploded installing this!

    I'd love to add something like that, though.
    Maybe if I switch over to Mutex Hosting Inc (free-er than free!) we can persuade him to do it for us.

    In the meantim…

  • Sorry, try again.
  • I'll turn on user name changing for a day so you can tweak it.

    As for the work PC issue, I think this forum depends on javascript to work properly, so maybe work are blocking stuff for security reasons?
    I'll investigate.
  • Strange, try doing a blank search on 'users' and make sure the name shows up (we're on to 2 pages now!).
    in Hello Comment by xtrev April 2008
  • Ah, yes. For now, just do a blank search on 'users'.
    There's 37 marvellous names to choose from!

    (although 3 of those are me)
  • Your wish etc...

    Limit upped to 10,000 characters and character count extension installed.

    There is a 'Poll' extension, but it seems to be seriously out of date and problematic, so I'll give that a miss for now.
  • Wow. That was a long post.
    The character limit is set at 5000 by default (which may include line ends and paragraph breaks), I can increase it if you like, or try and add an extension for character count while posting?

    Vote in the …
  • Thanks, but I can't take too much credit for the design as it's *almost* the default theme that comes with Vanilla.
    Which is one of the reasons I chose it :-)

    I had intended to customise it more, but ran out of patience and decided…

  • Account page is (hopefully) working as expected now.
    in Hello Comment by xtrev April 2008
  • Thanks!
    I'll probably link straight to the forums and save everyone the extra click eventually, but I thought it only polite to welcome you in properly to start with :-)

  • And just one more thing, I've activated 'whispers' - which are this forum software's version of private messages.
    They appear on screen for the sender and recipient only.
    Not sure if they are supposed to show in your 'Account' page or no…

  • OK. Having done very little with this for some time now, I think its ready to have its tyres well and truly kicked by some other people.
    The free host I'm using doesn't allow emails to be sent, so for now anyone that wants to join will need to…

  • Added more categories, including 'Fight Club' for those who just want a good argument.
    Starting to try and customise this a little now. Which is hard given that I know absolutely nothing about mySQL :-)
