Welcome to the newly upgraded forums!

[orudge]

when comes a dutch version of the new layout ??

As I said in my first post, I'll be waiting for the release version of phpBB 3.0, which hopefully shouldn't be too much longer, but may be a couple of months yet.

[SHADOW-XIII]

Oh Owen I see you have a problem with crawlers/bots ?
Gigabot [Bot], Google [Bot], Google Adsense [Bot], Heritrix [Crawler], ichiro [Crawler], MSNbot Media, Yahoo [Bot]
that's quite much for 5 minutes

[orudge]

It's not so much a problem, more the fact the forums are popular.

[Dave]

Users can now delete their polls, which I think was MEANT to be an option in phpBB2, but wasn't.

Excellent

[Train-a-Mania]

Wow! Things have...erm...changed.

Very good, though!

I would personally ask though, if users do delete their polls, please edit your post to include a record of the existing votes... it's only polite, really.

Since the records of the competition need keeping anyway, this is how I'll be doing it. Dunno if others will though.

[orudge]

Well, I meant it more as a general thing. I personally don't like throwing things away or deleting them, hence why if anyone asks me to delete a poll, I'll post a record of the old votes.

[Field-Mouse]

Very nice with the design transfer and all, didnt even notice the change till I saw the online/offline sign under the avatars!
Very nice! =D

[Csaboka]

Can someone tell me what these dots on some topic icons mean?

What is this?

dot.PNG (8.18 KiB) Viewed 2934 times

(Yay for inline attachments, BTW )

The FAQ page doesn't mention them, they aren't explained in the legend at the bottom, and I couldn't find any pattern in them myself, either.

[edit] Oh, never mind, I've just found the pattern. The dots indicate that I'm watching the topic. Silly me It's useful that you can see a list of them in UCP, too.

[SHADOW-XIII]

I think they say you replied in that topic, not that you watch it

[Moriarty]

1) User control panel, click "profile" and then "Edit signature". Doesn't work. I didn't want to actually create one (I hate the things - nice to see a "hide sigs" option!), but I do like pressing all the buttons anyway.

It works fine here - do you get an error message or something?

No errors. Using Opera 9.10.
It spends a fraction of a second "loading" and then stops and you're at the same place you were before.

I hope using phpbb3 is easier than adminning it.

Actually that quote is purno's, not mine.

Oh, and thanks for changing the colours.

[Ooh, while writing this topic, it tells me "At least one new post has been made to this topic. You may wish to review your post in light of this.". Very nice ]

Happened to me too when I accidentally double-clicked "submit". So it seems to get rid of double-posting too, but only as a side-effect.

Ah, I just noticed an unwelcome behaviour change. The old phpBB would do the sensible thing and open links in a new window, but v3 opens it in the same window.
....
Not everyone have a third mouse button.

If you want a link to open in a new window, you can manually do it by:
a) Clicking the middle link with the mouse button.
b) Hold down ctrl or shift or both when clicking the link. Thus no middle mouse button needed.
They work on Firefox/Opera and I'd guess most other browsers. Depending on what keyboard-combo / Browser you're using, it will open the link in either a new window or a new tab.

I think they say you replied in that topic, not that you watch it

Seems likely. I've never set any topics to watch, yet a few have dots. The ones I am seeing dots on are ones I've posted in.

[Csaboka]

I think they say you replied in that topic, not that you watch it

Yes, you're right. I usually watch the topics I reply to, so there's no difference for me. Plus, I thought I saw a "dotty" topic where I haven't posted, but I must have overlooked my post.

Anyway, it's a nice feature, knowing which topics are you involved in. I just don't understand why it isn't mentioned in the legend - it's not obvious at all.

[andel]

I notice Links open in the same window though...

I mentioned that but I was told to use the middle (non-existent on my laptop) button or ctrl/shift+click by Owen, most helpful

[andel]

Bit of a problem when you are used to simply left-clicking... I dunno what'd take to add the code in... what we need is a load of geeks to offer solutions...

I already showed orudge a link on how to do it, but he wouldn't because he wasn't convinced links should open in new windows.

Has anyone else had this problem? Could you try with a different browser, perhaps?

It's easy enough to add the code, but it's not something I'll be doing. Ideally, what may be better would be for local links to stay in the same window, but external links to open in a new window - but that'd require more than a simple bit of editing BBCode. Anyway, it may be a pain, but it's really not that hard to get used to - just press SHIFT when you click the link, or right-click it and choose Open in New Window/Tab. Personally, I've been doing the latter pretty much forever, anyway.

[WWTBAM]

Same with the links and usually have FF set to open new windows in a new tab.

Or try the middle mouse button (when using a browser of the newest generation).
