So turn them off. You've already been told how.

Not in the current setup. There may be mods available that they can install that will do this.

For me, the simplest thing is to change the default editor since it lets me get more control of my posts.

And for me to stop using the QR box, even though I can still get some control there.

Go into your UserCP, go to Edit Options, the second item there is your Reputation. Just uncheck it.

This is most likely why people keep giving you bad rep. You are simply whining and complaining instead of looking to see how to do even the simplest thing.

We keep telling you to look at the FAQ but instead, you just keep asking about how to do things that are laid out simply there.

You keep asking about other items, and you are given step by step instructions on how to do that, most of it involving the UserCP and the Edit Options page. Have you bothered to look at anything there except for what you were being explicitly given instructions on how to do? Apparently not.

There have been posts all over this thread, the Discussion thread, in the Technical Issues and Bugs thread, and likely in several other places on how to do much of the extremely simple things you keep whining about, but YOU aren't making the effort to learn anything, you just keep whining and wanting it spoonfed to you.

You don't like the front page of the forums? Fine. Click the + on the same line as English. This will show all of the forum section headings. If this is the view you want, bookmark it. If not, and you want to see the individual forum names, much like the old forums front page, simply click on the word English. This will show the Forum Section headings and the individual forum names, just like the old forums did. If this is the view you want, bookmark it.

If you want to see things using the Favorite Forums view that the other forum software had, well, you can't get it exactly, but you can get pretty close. You can follow the instructions in the guide here to get a pretty close approximation to that old view.

The reason you apparently hate these new forums is because you apparently refuse to put any effort into learning anything about them, and want everything handed to you on a silver platter.

As for me? I'm done with spoonfeeding you. I've given enough instructions to you that if you had taken the time to look at the other settings that you HAD to have seen were on the page as you scrolled past them, even if you didn't bother to look to see what they were then, you could have gone back and looked at them AFTER setting what you wanted.

But that would have been a bit too much effort apparently. It's much easier to come in here whining and ranting and using foul language that has to be filtered by the forum software.

If you put forth NO effort, you will get NO return. It's that way in everything I've encountered in life. At least, anything worth doing.

Just for those still having trouble.

Do you have AVG installed? By any chance do you have the Toolbar for it installed?

It looks like a solution may be to uninstall AVG, reboot, reinstall AVG without the Toolbar and see if this helps your problems.

Apparently, even if it is disabled it will cause problems.

Does this help anyone else?

Oddly enough, when I look at your avatar properties, it still shows the old broken link, not the working one

http://i544.photobucket.com/albums/hh353/Lucky6ith/ichigosdad.gif

I may try it as my avatar to see if it works for me, then maybe we can figure out how to get it working for you.

EDIT: It's working for me. Make sure that you copy the address I have above exactly, go to UserCP, go to Edit Avatar, delete ALL of the text in the box first, then paste this link in and click Save.

2nd EDIT: Please tell me when it is working for you. I really don't like seeing it as my avatar, I'm just leaving it so you can see it works.

Won't even hide it with text.

Cats = target practice.

True story.

When they imported the old posts over, they all got new numbers. Any old links referenced the number of the post on the old boards. Those numbers aren't the same anymore.

Hence, broken.

Also, that is likely why a script couldn't handle the fixing the links, since it wouldn't know what number to give a post until it had been imported, but the post that linked to it may have come in first before a number was assigned so ..... Catch-22

That's a known problem. They did all they could to get boards.cityofheroes.com all updated and working and will likely get to boards.cityofvillains.com, boards.coh.com, uk.boards.cityofheroes.com and any others working next week, if they don't just put a redirect from those sites to this one.

Your old links likely won't work anyway since the link references a thread number and ALL posts have new numbering. Wheeeeeee! It's a fun time to start searching to try to find all the old posts, updating your links, etc. Be glad you aren't trying to maintain the guides with all the broken links, and especially broken links inside posts linked with more broken links.

A headache for certain.

tl;dr version

Use the boards.cityofheroes.com page to access the forums and set your Style to Villain.

The black text was intentional. I just chose it using the WYSIWYG tools instead of manually entering the tags. So no, I didn't close the tags improperly, that was intentionally choosing black text on my part.

Just to show ya.

Yayayayayaya

That was entered as [color=green]Yayayayayaya[/color]

Clearer now?

Seriously?

On a weekend?

On a Double-XP weekend at that where they are having to watch for server issues?

On a weekend AFTER they've been at ComiCon in San Diego the previous week/weekend?

On a weekend AFTER they've been busting their humps trying to get these forums at least UP and running?

All of this combined and you want an answer now?

Rather than spam it here, why not send them PM's instead.

That's not how the FAQ lists it. Even the FAQ on the vBulletin Community Forums lists it as just [color=yellow]TEXT[/color]

I think it was the use of : instead of = that was doing it, not the fact that yellow wasn't in quotation marks.

Oh, and I love the noparse tags, makes it easier to show the true code usage to people. And it matters not if you use the WYSIWYG editor or enter the code by hand, as long as you use the proper syntax.

It's looking like you have bold code mixed in the middle of your color tags. I fixed them in my Quoted section above. Couldn't get your list items to work completely right though.

Luckily, I can get color to work using the Enhanced Editor functions just easily.

What random letter generation? I've been using Search quite a bit, and I haven't seen any random letter generation?

Kinda like the Star system that was on the old forums, until people started complaining about people 1 starring them to grief them and 5 starring their friends that were complete idiots.

Got taken away. Wasn't missed.

Have a feeling the Reputation will go away as well for the same reason.

You can disable it in your UserCP though. I think it's under Edit Options, but can't recall for certain.

EDIT: Yep, it's under Edit Options.
