Ha! Finally something that shows my superiority

I'll look into it.

EDIT: should be possible now, try it please.

I'd also appreciate it if we removed the parental controls in the user cp panel

Do I have to upload my avatar again? I dont seem to be able to pick from a list like we used to.

I notice your edits dont appear in the bottom of you posts either Shabba

Strange, I thought my avatar was a problem as it was 100x100 and the edit avatar thing showed 80x80 max. I was going to upload my avvie from the other site but uploaded my current one as a profile picture first. Back to this thread to mention about the 80x80 limit and my avatar is now visible even though it is 100x100! Didn't touch the avvie at all, just changed the profile picture

Yeah, it's weird: some members have an avatar, but didn't log in yet. Some members have their old custom user title, others don't. Minor annoyances though. I haven't figured out what's wrong with the smileys. I think they all have to be added manually again.

Hidden fora
There not hidden, I set the permissions to 'deny all' which includes everybody including admins. Permissions work different here than on the Snitz forum. On Snitz we could add members to the allowed list of a forum individually. VB doesnt allow this, we should set up a usergroup (ISDG for example), add people to that usergroup and allow that usergroup to see the ISDG fora. It's a very good system but it will take some time for me and Shabba to set it all up.

Smileys
Those that are not working aren't working because they arent saved in the correct directory. I'll look into that cause it requires FTP powers to fix.

Avatars
It remains a mystery to me why some of us got their avvies imported and other didnt. If you can fix your avvie in your cp, please do so. If you can fix your avvie by uploading it again: please do so. If everything fails: ask us to upload your avvie and set it to your useraccount

Quick reply
Apparently quick reply is connected to the post where you click the quick reply button. 'post reply' button always assumes your reply is linked to the last post. I suspect this is for the people who use the threaded/indented view where you can answer to specific posts in a thread. We've never used that (Snitz didnt have that option) and I really don't see a point in using that view. Maybe it;s an option to disable the threaded view and opening up the quick reply. Shabba and I will look into it.

Parental control
Will look into that.
