I just checked some and they are narrower than yesterday.

You'll have to brush up on your spelling is all

Thanks for checking on that Chunky, guess my attention to detail hasn't been completely lost during this recession after all

I did a search on the vbulletin site for a 4.0 spell-checker mod, but didn't see any. I don't know how partial you all are to Firefox, but it has on the fly spell-checking for all text boxes. Remind me in 6 months or something and I'll see if anybody releases one

There were some problems viewing polls. I just adjusted the style sheets a bit so they should look much better now

Digging the home page and the content. Would be cool if vb4 has some kinda 'magazine cms/mod' for the home page so it's more visual and the layout's better.

What do you mean? It's pretty configurable... let me know what we can do better!

Oh I was just thinking of Wordpress themes like these ones which give them a more 'magazine' layout. The [ms] homepage's current layout is like a blog. Anyway it's not a big deal, just thought a more visual layout would do better justice to posts like simonr's Kiss writeups and Mcast session writeups.

I linked to a page in my previous post but hypertexts don't seem to be differentiated in a post, look like normal text.

Here's the link for an idea of what I'm referring to: http://blogof.francescomugnai.com/20...zing-examples/

I have a feeling vb4 probably won't have something like this though, this is more of a CMS thing.

I hate the thank you function !! It looks gratuitous and unbalanced . To be honest you have to have a thumbs down as well. Although I would prefer that people post what they feel without either. I was glad when you got rid of the rep system. To replace it with this just doesn't work for me.

^^if i was to use this function it would be for this post
i dont like it either
is nothing wrong with saying thanks to someone
works well in a P&R forum
i'd much rather see the option of "like" and "dislike" to someones post

Re: A big change is on its way...[vb4 upgrade]

^^^ Or even approve /disapprove

Re: A big change is on its way...[vb4 upgrade]

i think the problm with rep system was that it was anonymous so some people got offended by the comments they received and on the other side some ppl dared to be offensive just because it was anonymous, also the calculating + and - kept some in the reds
i'd recomend like or dislike (approve /disapprove) without keeping track of the numbers

Sounds like a plan !

Completely agreed, Kat!

A forum-wide option to hide the Thank Yous in a post would be nice too if we rather not get caught up in the whole rep mentality again, plus the 'thank yous' interrupt the flow of a thread.
