Well, if the image is smaller than 600x 120 pixels but the file size is larger, would it disallow the sig? Since it has the text there, maybe that is what is allowing the larger file size on sig images?

Just speculation. I turned off the IMG tags for now since I want to see text sigs but not IMG sigs, so I can't check them.

Sin, they were looking at vBulleting long before Cryptic had bought the IP for CO. As a matter of fact, it may have been before NCSoft bought out Cryptic's part of the City of Franchise.

The vBulletin forums have a lot of improvements over UBB, especially on the moderation side, but it may take them a bit to get all of the minor kinks worked out here. I do agree that they can use some work, but using the features of these forums will become second nature when you start using them a bit.

Unless all you do is type and gripe (not you specifically, that's a general you).

Zloth, please start your own thread so that we don't get confused as to whose information we are looking at.

Also, I'd recommend starting with Zloth's ++ Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines ++ thread that is stickied in this forum.
Secondly, post a log from running CoH Helper as it will give information about your system and the CoH installation and settings.
Thirdly, post a log from running HijackThis. This will show what else is going on on your computer while you are playing CoH.













































Oh my, did I do that?

Whew. Don't want ya mad at me FatherXmas.

In that case, don't use the misnamed Quick Reply box, instead use the New Post box. It's not really a Quick Reply box anyway, it's a Reply From The Same Page box. If it were a true Quick Reply, you wouldn't have to click anywhere except for in that box to be able to type in it.

Guess I'll have to change my copy/paste text when the new one is up. And thank you for flagging SP2 on Vista. Will make that much easier to catch.

Use your Mouseover technique on just about anything on the forums. There are a wonderful amount of new things that have mouseover information.

I'll answer what I can, but someone may be able to clarify what I say.

1. Use the New Reply button instead in the lower right corner. It will open to the default editor you have selected in your UserCP. I have mine set for the WYSIWYG editor.

The Quick Reply box here really isn't a Quick Reply box. It's just named that. It's more of a Same Page Reply box since you have to click a Quick Reply icon in a message first. A true Quick Reply box wouldn't need you to click anywhere else first.

2. Will come back to later.

4. Does make it a bit difficult to tell what's a link and what's just underlined text. Needs to be HIGHLY differentiated that it is a link.

7. Griped in Beta, as did others, apparently fell on deaf ears.

8. Only if you use the Quick Reply box and don't click Go Advanced. If you use the New Message or use the Quick Reply with the Go Advanced feature, you get a Preview Post button.

10. If I am looking at a list of threads and see a thread with new posts, I click the white downward pointing triangle. It takes me to the first unread post. No 2 clicks. Just one click.

11. Not sure I follow that one.

You must be using the Hero skin.

I found that rather odd, so thought I'd look at the Villain skin even though I prefer blue. The gray avatar border goes all the way around the image and doesn't stop part way through like it does on the Hero skin.

Weird.

Not the preferred option. Yes, it disables the images in the sigs without getting rid of text sigs, but it also disables ALL IMG tagged items in the post. So if, for example, Positron posts an image of an upcoming feature of an issue, I don't see it, just the text the image address. Yes, it is a clickable link, but I'd rather not have to do that with images that are a part of, if not all of, the post.

As I said before, more options, not less.

Not really what I was looking for, but it is a workaround. I'd looked at this, but since it isn't putting it on the front page of my forums, it isn't really what I'm wanting. One of the tabs of my homepage is the forums. Having to go through the extra steps to see what I'm wanting to see is rather ... annoying.

A difficult way to do it in my opinion as well.

Ah well, I was afraid this would be my only option.

At least it is one of the few things I've found so far that I don't like on the new vBulletin forums.

Well, on the forums alone, FatherXmas uses dial-up, but yeah, I know several people who are stuck with dial-up. My wireless ISP is barely above dial-up, but it's the only option (aside from the horrendous HughesNet) that is available to me.

If we could get a split of the options on whether or not to show images in sigs, text in sigs, all images in a post or just avatar images, I'd be happy. Since I often browse the forums from work, being able to turn off the images in Signatures alone would help, since they often stand out more than the Avatars do. And the ESC key works nicely to stop the animations in the avatars.

More customization options is what we need however, not less.

So, is it 3 weeks or just 1 week or what?

Consistency man.

Well, you ARE all Emo and Bitter and such.

We couldn't expect any different.

Definitely like that new Avatar there Toonies.



But I much prefer the new forums. Are there things I'd change? Sure. But vBulletin is much better overall than UBB IMO.

Here's your solution:

Scroll down slightly to just below the Quick Reply box.

In the lower right corner is a Forum Jump feature. By default, it is set to the index of the forum you are viewing a post in. However, you can also decide to visit a completely new forum section just by choosing the Forum and clicking Go.

So, for example, I'm in Technical Issues and Bugs and I finish the last post I need to check there. I could either scroll to the top, click on English to get to the most logical starting point, then go to Servers, then Justice, or I can use the Forum Jump to get me directly to Justice from there.

Very nice if you ask me.
