Why would that be? A css is a mere collection of text files that a browser downloads and caches.By the bye, I have also heard that it's a server drain to have too many Styles. That means that we'll have to pare them down at some point.
There's a rather simple trick to "emulate" one. Just create a white (or whatever colour) background image of the required dimensions, make it displayed "centered" (not stretched nor tiled) and resize the application window to that size. Bingo - 1024x600 no problem.One thing I don't have is a Netbook. I do have a "Slate" computer: it's a non-touchscreen (you use a dedicated stylus) tablet that's essentially page sized.
Actually exactly that was what triggered my post.(However, on SOTW, you're probably having a problem with the advertisements and how they're placed.)
Zune is only an MP3/Video/Radio device. I have gen 2 and not the Zune HD.I'll try to remember tonight (sent myself an email). I wanna try it on my Imagio too. Very cool Pete. Wish I'd thought of it. Aaron, let me know how it is on your cell.
<raises hand> So did I.Quite a few posters, myself included, have had posts vanish into cyberspace.
Paper clip? No. Pencil icon, yes. That's a known random bug that's supposed to be fixed in 4.0.2. (I have been checking the vBulletin bug reports threads.)I apologize if this has already been covered, I didn't see it here if it was, but there are a couple of quirks with the new SOTW platform that have been happening over the past day or 2 that I'm wondering about. Quite a few posters, myself included, have had posts vanish into cyberspace.
For example, yesterday I posted a message about not being able to see attachments to posts anymore since the upgrade. (Another hiccup that some of us, but not all apparently, are experiencing.) Now all I get is a paper clip. This happens in all browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, & Safari), and on both my laptop and my PC. When I went back to check what others had replied to my post, my post was gone, as were the 2 immediately before it which had been posted on the same day as mine.
Have you heard anything about either of these issues Pete through V Bulletin? Or through any of their forums that you may have gleaned info on?
<cringes>I mentioned to the Admins, here, that I noticed that there's a recommended change in how to store attachments in 4.0.x: you should store them in a directory, rather than in the forum database. I tried this on our test forum and, not only does it work, it works a lot faster.
I've been on those threads with you Ben. When I get an email that you have replied and shows your comment, I go to the link and your comment isn't there. I've had at least two (I post about 3 times a month) posts disappear and wondered if I'd said something unacceptable to one of the mods. Glad to see I'm not the only one with that problem.<raises hand> So did I.
First I was thinking about a parallel universe, as I posted stuff from a different computer than when I tried to follow-up later, and vice versa. But since parallel universes don't exist there must be some database issue, or some locking problem (eg. what happens when two people post at roughly the same time) or some HTTP issue (browser fails to supply a necessary cookie or a POST variable), I don't know.
All data since the dawn of the history (2003) is there. Old are attachments are still there, but something went wrong in attachment conversion. I have asked vBulletin support to help in this.
Yes we are aware of this - Some of my posts and PMs have disappeared too - It's just some database problem which, when restored, we lost some bits along the way.
Thankfully, this sort of thing doesn't happen often.
Well, I hope you can understand my rather conservative approach (about not fixin' what ain't broken) a bit better...just be patient and wait for the 2nd or third bugfix wave before you upgrade. I know, utterly un-modern and backwards-oriented. But the Matterhorn didn't cease to exist just because the Mount Everest was discovered.Well, I tested posting at exactly the same time and I got some interesting results. No posts missing, but interesting results. I've mentioned them to vBulletin and I'm waiting for a response.
Read my above post regarding "fixed" and "fluid" themes. The one you're using is "fixed". If you switch to the forum default, for instance, it takes up the whole screen ("fluid").'kay a nitnoid. On the current version we use more width of the screen, which for the various sizes of monitors I use (19" or bigger). But the new version doesn't seem to take full advantage of the width of the screen. It that a change or had you tweaked something in the 3.8 version?
