Ah, sorry I hadn't answered you before. I had seen your earlier replies. To be perfectly honest though, I'm not very computer literate (slight understatement ;)) and I've also been very busy these past few days, getting home really tired, and didn't feel like trying to decipher "complicated" (okay, I'm sure they're quite simple, it just didn't seem that way to my tired, protesting brain) instructions.

I'm quite sure that once things settle down on my end, and I can bring myself to actually ponder the deceptive codical structure you disguised your instructions as, I'll manage to discover the message. :p

You would be surprised, there are dozens and dozens of banned spammers who created accounts to spam our forums. With the ability to now send to multiple people the same PM, the likelihood that someone could spam hundreds or even thousands of accounts in a short period of time has increased dramatically. As a small company that doesn't have administrators on the board 24x7x365, this is not an acceptable risk considering what that kind of spamming could do not only to our userbase and reputation but also to our server.

How the heck are you hitting the flood control that quickly anyway? You either have lightening fingers or need to be introduced to the wonders of instant messaging services. :D:nana:

Mindi is going to explore options for this once all the issues of broken functionality are fixed.

Me...obtuse?:typing: I'm willing to bet if I can do it, you can, too! Just hope it actually delivers the desired effect.

90% of car drivers say they are above average drivers.
90% of computer users say they are below average users.
Of course, those are both impossible.

That would be very cool! And it's nice to have the printable version. But at the top right I see this instead, not "view all":

"Show 50 post(s) from this thread on one page"

The link looks like:

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/print...?t=29054&pp=50

I tried doing this, but it didn't help, it still only gives 50 posts:

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/print...=29054&pp=9999

Well, that sounds like a terrible mess! I won't expect a miracle then. ;) Just remember one day when you're bored (I know you're all kinds of busy now, but eventually), that a lot of users wouldn't mind if there were just some simple color scheme options. If they were buried in the User CP, no one is going to dig it up before they bask in the glory of all of this blue for awhile - or if they do find it that fast, they must really be that averse to these colors. :p

Anyway, if there were a couple other options eventually, with colors selected to go nicely with the Shrapnel logo (and maybe even make it jump attractively out of the background. ;)), it would be cool.

That's the same that phpBB3 does and most of MediaWiki. I really hate it because that means that something that you mod is usually tied to a template. It's extremely difficult to add something if you're not a core developer.

Re: Official Request Thread
 

I see, yes. So as it is now, a lengthy thread would need to be saved in a series of pages. I'll look into the possibility of improving this down the road.

I had to find a modification to put into vb to do this as vb by default strips everything but the last reply I think in order to keep things "clean". Anyway, I have installed a mod that allows nested quotes again and have set it to 3 which I think is a good number as a cut off.

Hope this helps!
