Yeah, the icon is fairly discernible, to me at least.

But if some users have issues seeing it, then it should be changed.

Apparently Readers' Club permissions have not been set. T3AB4GG3R117<-gt, in the Readers' Club, has the ability to post.

PHPbb3's built-in "report post" feature clashes with the report feature we had on the old forum. As far as I can tell, staff have no ability to leave comments on closed reports. Reported posts do not create a topic in the Reports subforum. So we'll either have to repair our old report feature, or utilize this new one.

Readers club was a custom permission mod by me...It'll likely have to be re-setup to work with phpBB3...Reports mod was a custom mod by me, you'll have to get used to the new one...

Alright, it's come to the point where I'm annoyed by this:
- Why doesn't the <title> say "HaloMods"? Much obliged.
- Can we get a favicon?

The side panel needs to be a fixed size so that I do not have 50% wasted space.
I also think that the contact buttons should be brought back under the signature because where they are now is really odd.
Also the Edit and Quote buttons should be moved to the bottom of the post (You read a post, then quote it).

The edit and quote buttons are where they always have been.

The Post Reply button at the BOTTOM of the page is always set all the way to the left of my screen which is just odd to look at. Everything else is set to the middle of the screen just fine.

On another note, I do indeed like the "online" banner we have now. It's nifty and is pleasing to the eyes.

This goes back to my "the stuff at the bottom when viewing a thread is too wide" issue.

Its not padded. So its flush against either the left side or right side. Not a major issue, Reports and Readers Club should be done first.

The problem with the page width at the bottom is that we're adding a </div> on the ad:
Source before Javascript:

Code: Select all

<div class="postbody">

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-0601815468720171";
/* 728x90, gemaakt integr. forums text only */
google_ad_slot = "3139002450";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
<br /><br />
</td>

</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
Source after javascript, same segment:

Code: Select all

<div class="postbody">

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-0601815468720171";
/* 728x90, gemaakt integr. forums text only */
google_ad_slot = "3139002450";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script style="display: none;" type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
<br><br>
<!-- NOTICE THE EXTRA DIV HERE: --></div></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</td>
</tr>
Which is causing the </div> for the <div id="wrap"> to come earlier, basically throwing everything off.

I've checked with the page source before being mucked with and it looks fine.
e: Javascript-based code cleanup then assumes that one of the ones further up is the end of the id="wrap" and drops the one at the bottom, hence the page is still valid.

I assume you intended for these members to no longer be staff, since their names aren't green. However, they are still listed as having the rank of "Staff."

My rights were removed a LONG time ago and they probably just forgot to take that out in the meantime.

Fleetadmiral, would you have any ideas on how to fix that? Ravn - looking into the rank thing. Also: Title added.

Removing the Sponsored Messages flat out fixes it, but that's probably not viable.

fake edit: Removing just the first ad block fixes it.

real edit: It may be that show_ads is run twice. I'll check that. Nope.

Double post for great justice:

Here's the issue:
This is what the block should look like:

Code: Select all

<div class="post bg2">

<table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellspacing="1">
<tr class="row2">
<td align="center" valign="middle">
<b class="postauthor">Sponsored Message</span> </b>
</td>
<td width="100%" height="25">
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="gensmall" width="100%"> &nbsp;</td>

</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>

<tr class="row1">

<td valign="top" class="profile">
<table cellspacing="4" align="center" width="150">
<tr>
<td align="center"> </td>
</tr>
</table>

</td>
<td valign="top">

<table width="100%" cellspacing="5">
<tr>
<td>

<div class="postbody">

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-0601815468720171";
/* 728x90, gemaakt integr. forums text only */
google_ad_slot = "3139002450";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
<br /><br />
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td bgcolor="#D1D7DC" colspan="2" height="1"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
But right now, there's an extraneous opening <div> between the two <scripts> - remove that; the trailing </div> for postbody is also in the wrong place. Move it from the bottom (note the </div>\n</div> in the source for the HTML output) to right after the <br /><br />. Do this for both ads and it'll work fine.

I'm surprised that nobody has suggested the return of sub-titles for our threads. I think that's a major bug that needs to be corrected.
