Richard:
Are there plans to make the press releases more legible? It is not that it is a bad image, it is just really hard to read the text on top of it.

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

[Fyron]

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.

EDIT: of course its also making the top of the area (user controls, banner, announcments..) disappear as well. Oops.

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:
Code:

---

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" id="pr">**<tr></tr></table>*\n</td>

---

EDIT2: Better one:
Code:

---

<table \w \w \w \w id="pr">*<tr></tr></table>?\n</td>

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.

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.

Richard's signature is still in a temporal anomaly, however. Starfury is apparently still coming soon!

Ack! Where did the infinitely useful "Mark All Read" link in the control panel thingie at the top of the main forum view go? 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...

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:
Code:

---

www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/(^ubbthreads.php|postlist.php)

---

Byte Limit >= 7000 at least

Matching Expresion:
Code:

---

<table \w \w \w \w id="pr">*<tr></tr></table>?\n</td>

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?

Yet another piece of background art, sorry if I'm being anoying, but It's what I do



Is this any better?

Cheers!

[David E. Gervais]

And in case you're wondering what it would look like with text on it..



Cheers!
