I enabled it so that guests can view inline image attachments. I think this will allow images to be viewed in the news section that were originally an inline attachment from the forums.

If you logout, then go to rare-green-beast-wars-ramulus-t57269.html, you'll see the image attachments without being logged in now.

Night Raid and I mentioned this on the Trouble thread, but just in case: the Mark Topics Read button doesn't seem to be working.

The only thing I'd like at the moment is for the Mark Forums Read button to work again.

Edit: Oops, just noticed this has already been reported. Sorry.

Yeah, it stopped working when you made the changes.

Before it would include the session id in the url when you clicked the link, now the sid isn't there, but it still doesn't work even if you put the &sid=123456etc on the url manually.

This should be working properly now. Can you guys confirm?

That's got it, thanks!

[Tekka]

It's still not working for me. =/

Can you do a control + F5 on your keyboard and also try a different forum that you haven't visited before?

[Tekka]

The forums that have a "Mark Topics Read" button work, but the "Mark Forums Read" on the Board Index to mark the whole board read, is still broken.

Alright, I think I was able to fix it now. I tested it and it seemed to work properly for me. Can you confirm that it now works for you Tekka?

[Tekka]

That's got it. Nicely done, boss!

The tiny little "View First Unread" icon before a topic with new replies works with threads that have only one page, but if it's more than one page it takes you to the first post on the first page of the thread, even in a thread you have posted in.

Other than that, I'd like to say that as one of the Great (un)Washed Masses, I really appreciate all the work you're putting in here. Thanks, Seibs!

*whoops wrong topic, deleted*

[Me, Grimlock!]

Some forums aren't listed anywhere. For instance, I can't find the Philosopher's Forum anywhere. Or has it been removed again?

Also, for the different types of forums (TF-related, HMW-related, miscellaneous) is it possible to make each one a different colour in the list to the left? This sounds like a bad idea, but I figured I'd throw it out there to see if someone can turn it into a good one. Maybe icons? Just for quick scanning, you can see where the list of TF forums ends, miscellaneous ones, etc.

Also, do areas like the staff forum or other invitation-only sections really need to be in the list for those users that can't access them? It's just cluttering.

Which brings to mind something else: maybe we can set "favourite forums." In the left-hand list, there can be our most visited forums or ones we mark as favourites in our profile. If we want to visit other forums, we can go to index.php. The downside to this is that users are unlikely to visit other forums as often. Then again, you could divide the list into headers: Favourites and Others beneath that.

I mentioned it in the revamp thread, but changing the color of links would be amazing. The dark red or whatever that is, is just way out of place and looks awful.

Other than that, I'm liking it a lot

Definitely open to suggestions!

If I could pick any color to change it to, it would be #333366. Which is the color of the navigation bar according to ColorPicker. The hover color could still be the redish color because it looks nice that way. Or the hover color could be a lighter shade of purple.

I think I phrased that all the right way

I don't have that problem but if I click the last read icon for this particular thread I get taken to a page which says it does not exist.

i got seiber-mail found the links really useful to view stuff that i might of missed, also it could hopefully bring back more peeps to seibertron. and HMW etc etc

[Forgotten]

I think it would be pretty cool if there was a "live chat" style section. It would be really great to be able to talk back and forth about random things without email/page refreshes/etc.

Kremzeek ROCKS!! Thanks for putting that up Seibertron and for having THE BEST SITE EVER.

[DecepticonRedAlert]

When can we expect to see the galleries up and working again?

[Blurrz]

When can we expect to see the galleries up and working again?

By Tuesday, I believe.

[Valandar]

Still no progress on the "First Unread" button for multi-page posts? It's a minor thing, I know, but does get a mite annoying.

[Seibertron]

When can we expect to see the galleries up and working again?

By Tuesday, I believe.

The galleries should, for the most part, be back online by later tonight. I think there are about a half dozen or so that need my attention but I'd say that's not bad out of almost 2,000 galleries.

[The Legend]

The ads thrown in the middle of the threads are major suck. Can they be removed/moved?

[Editor]

Are the mid thread ads really necessary? I know that their isn't really more ad space for banner ads, but that is the kind of distraction that really lowers the overall opinion people may have for the forums.

Do we really the extra ad revenue? I hope that isn't to help the other sites go live at the expense of things here. And please don't tell me you are looking at a pay for removal option.....

[ang3l3s]

Should be able to add polls, like which version you like better and people can choose a or b or how ever many choices are available.
Also it would be nice to have anew posts on the top so you can check all the new threads right away, I'm on a lot of reptile forums being a small breeder and most of them have these options, come to think of it i'm a bike rider as well and the 2-4 forums i'm on have these options as well.
