May I ask if we are to have the "Todays Posts" link, as we had before. I know we have a "New Posts" link but as soon as you reply to a thread it disappears. All threads used to stay in the todays posts and it was easier to find them. If this question has already been addressed then I will get me coat and call meself a taxi

I'll work on it - but it only disappears after *you post something. As soon as someone posts something...it will re-appear for you. So the functionality is exactly the same.

Phew, thank you, Tombstone...I won't use it yet if it's not ready but at least I can get my arcade fix by looking at it :wah:

Sittin' and watchin' him work is quite therapeutic, I could do this for hours.

Grab this link and drag it to your browser toolbar and drop it there. That's the one you used to use and it still works, it's just not available until Tombstone patches it back onto the site's menu bar.

Thanks for the link Spot, yes it brings up the posts in the same way that 'today's posts' did

Try going to TOOLS on your PC. Scroll down to INTERNET OPTIONS. Click on ACCESSIBLITY. Check the box IGNORE FONT SIZES SPECIFIED ON WEBPAGES. Click OK.

That does tend to screw the entire rest of the Internet while cracking a very small nut.

Most browsers will allow permanent site-specific css overrides to, for example, the background colour, without forcibly changing it world-wide.

A very interesting addition, I noticed, on the 'Home' page, left column right at the bottom - 'Feedjit' touch of 'google earth' methinks. I love looking at maps! Thank you TS

Since your "upgrade" I keep getting error messages in a few minutes after I get on, then the site goes off. So, guess it's bye-bye for me.

don't you even think about leaving!:-5

Tombstone will straighten everything up for you.

It would help a great deal if you could transcribe the error messages exactly, that way they can be looked up and the problem can be fixed. Does "get on" mean power up, or start the browser, or look at ForumGarden? Does "goes off" mean times out or gives an unobtainable message?

Tombstone, is it time to post oddities yet?

"Find all posts" for any user shows (at the moment) just the last 48 hours' postings followed by (for spot anyway) all posts prior to 07-15-2005 07:51 PM. For Nomad's profile it's 07-17-2005 05:18 AM so it does look like it's date related and not, say, the earliest 500. Possibly there's a partial index somewhere, created a couple of days ago, that indexed up to July 2005 and stopped rather than came up to date, which has subsequently been updated with all posts since then.

Great:rolleyes:I have to look at adverts in peoples posts now:rolleyes::-3

Hoppy, there's bound to be a simple reason for this. Either spot or TS will sort it, provided you give them the exact wording and sequence of these messages. Just a thought - have you scanned or defragged your PC lately?

can i ask if the mods or Tombstone is aware of the add in peoples posts? its proper ads right in peoples posts, i think somehting like this happened before once, mind i think its only non paying members who can see them

What is the ad about? I'm afraid I can't see it! Is it possible for you to C & P it?:-3

I sent this back to the mod area for hopefully TS to see kaz. I'm not getting the ads either.

no i tried copying and pasting it ,, dont work ,, its a square ad that we used to have at the top sometimes.. all different ones in different peoples posts. i was advertising that game about building a roman empire or sumat... someone else was advertising carpet cleaner,,,

None of the moderator accounts are capable of replicating what you can see. I have a testspotwithnomembership account but I'd rather have explicit moderator permission before I logged in with it.

Viewing the thread as a guest doesn't bring the ads up. That's not to say kaz is wrong but... kaz, could you log in with a different browser please and see if it goes away? I'm just wondering whether it's related to any toolbar you might have acquired.

Ooooh - I just saw one. Kaz, is it just in the first post of each thread, as opposed to every post?

yes,,, well not always the first post , but maybe one a page

If it bothers you and you're using Firefox, adblock will remove all traces of all adverts from the site. Not that I'm recommending it, since FG's financial stability rests on advertising to some extent, but it's a personal choice you might like to adopt.

It's a possibility those ads will show up for non-supporting members Kaz.

but not guests?

kazalala;1319140 wrote: but not guests?


Guests too - I was mistaken. I'd assumed my Firefox's adblock needed an explicit command to remove those ads but it's actually built-in. Viewing it with my Internet Explorer as a guest, they show.

It just did it again. A box appears saying something about an illegal operation. when I try to remove it something about abort comes on, then i'm back to start-up screen.

Great. I'll google that then, shall I.
