Is you screen really dark or something? they are perfecly readable on my laptop which is half as bright as normal on battery power.

Re: Forum Changes
 

No... They are IMO poor choices of color combinations. I can read them, but it is annoying to do so. Anyone with poor eyesight isn't going to be able to read them.

Re: Forum Changes
 

The stuff at the top of the page? the Main Index, Who's Online, and Search stuff? I can see all of that just fine. Don't know what causing it to disappear on your end.

Wait, I see what's wrong. I told you guys to set the byte limit to 10000 just in case, but I had it on 7000. If you set it to 7000 they show up.

EDIT: Fixed the filter so that will only find what is is supposed to even if the byte limit is higher:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>&lt;table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" id="pr"&gt;**&lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;*\n&lt;/td&gt;</pre><hr />

EDIT2: Better one:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>&lt;table \w \w \w \w id="pr"&gt;*&lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;?\n&lt;/td&gt;</pre><hr />

Methinks the Shrapnel crew lives in some sort of temporal anomaly... "Space Empires IV Gold Off Backorder!" is what one of the side ads say.

And I don't really like the new banners, I preferred David's desert with the transparent hand grenade.

Re: Forum Changes
 

That just means SEIV was on backorder a while ago, and thus was not available. Now that it is no longer on backorder, SEIV is available for purchase once more.

Re: Forum Changes
 

Richard's signature is still in a temporal anomaly, however. Starfury is apparently still coming soon! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Ack! Where did the infinitely useful "Mark All Read" link in the control panel thingie at the top of the main forum view go? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif If the forum announcements were moved to a cell above the "Welcome" and CP cells, it wouldn't have to squish the CP links to a small area and force some of them to that 3rd line that was there before...

Re: Forum Changes
 

I've been fiddling with the Proxomitron some more and managed to make it remove the sidebar on every page, except the thread lists and the main category lists. This is what everyone has been suggesting be done with it.

URL Match:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/(^ubbthreads.php|postlist.php)</pre><hr />

Byte Limit &gt;= 7000 at least

Matching Expresion:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>&lt;table \w \w \w \w id="pr"&gt;*&lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;?\n&lt;/td&gt;</pre><hr />

Re: Forum Changes
 

What a surprise. Annoying surprise I shall say. Because text in the tread is aligned to the center for me. I bet it's some sort of incompatibility with Opera browser, but it helps a little.
Could owners look at it and possibly fix it?
