I've installed a lot of mods (Extra features, changes etc.) on the board, and changed a few config options.

Following changes are visible, or relevant to users.

* New default layout. The default is now the PHPBB default, SubSilver, with the option to change the style in you profile ( Available from offmb.nikkiwebster.dk/profile.php?mode=editprofile ). The old default was "Rob2".
* Country flags. The flag can be changed in the profile.
* Users with 0 posts are no longer visible anywhere. That means the number of registred users have been decreased a lot, but the accounts have NOT been removed, just hidden.
* Page info at the bottom of each page, showing technical info about each page. If reporting slow pages, or any other problem, please include the info line in the report.
* URL button on posting page changed. It uses popups to get the URL, and the title for the link.
* Option to add Skype icon to your posts, like MSN, Yahoo!, ICQ etc. Enter your skype ID in your profile.
* Number of stored private messages shown instead of only the percentage of the quota used. It's shown above the usage bar in the format (Stored Message/Max stored messages)
* Default Avatar. Using Mike's "I Love Nikke" avatar as the default.
* New type of topic, registration, it's intended as either a poll where you can see what people voted, or for registration for an event, or something else.
* Test Forum added, where you can mess around with the features you don't understand.
* A few mods to make administration easier. Like the ability to lock and unlock topics while posting, instad of doing it AFTER adding a message. Ability to merge posts.


And possible more I've forgotten.

Any questions, comments or suggestions, should be posted here.

This happened to me too with 2 of the new board options, the red one and one other. Only the silver one and one of the blue ones is normal sized.  Not so much a fan of the new colours so far, but I might get used to it.  Can we have the banner back up too.
I like the country flag idea, and good idea to only count the board users who actually post.
Thanks for putting in all this effort to make it better. smiley

Just change the font size in your browser, that'll enlarge it. Don't remember how you do in INternet Explorer, in Firefox it's just a matter of pressing CTRL and + (And CTRL and - to make it smaller.)

Yes, because it's not part of the subsilver design Tongue

But go to your profile, and change it to "Rob2" then it's there again Tongue

The banner is something I'll look in to. I donno if the size of it, makes it usable. Also theres an admin plugin for changing the banner, which I'd try to get to install, before I do anything about it.

Happens quite often, actually. Moslty I just happen to notice it, and remove one of them Wink

BTW, following additional opdates made:

* Option to cast a "Null vote" meaning that you can make a poll show the results as if you voted, without actually voting.
* New and more flags, having a 3D look, and the collection has been expanded to include AUS statates and territories, US States and the like. The NON-Country flags, are selectable from the bottom of the list.
* Banner changed for the subsilver design.. Still have to figure out, what to do about the fact that it's too big (Any ideas Tim? Tongue)
* Cleared search data, should result in faster posting, at least for a while, till there's too much data again. (Adding search data, will be completely disabled, when I get around to do it)
* Misc minor changes.

Also I plan to remove the sp; right below the banner. However, there's a lot of files to look through, and so little time to look.

And while on the subject of "strange things" .........

I just noticed that the "number of posts" counter appears to be stuck, because both of my last messages recorded the same figure !

I wonder if this one will say 486 posts as well ?

I guess it's more to do with a misunderstanding of what's shown next to your posts.
