UBB 6.5 Update & Update to Avatar Policy

Mouse_Master · Mar 19, 2003

I'm scribbling this out real quick, so I apologize in advance for all of the errors in my typing...

Basically, for most users, not much was added in this release. For us, it added the PM Notify (on the main page) as a built in feature rather than something I added, same with the 'bumped' topic feature.

One feature users may like is the ability to set the time display to be correct for their time zone from the 'My Profile' screen. All the help you should need to do this (Along with being able to set the date format, turn off avatar displays, etc) is there. If you need help, just post here for now.

I'll leave this topic 'topped' for a few days.

Just added....

Since the feature to disable Avatar view for users now exists, and works, we have enabled the option for users to specify offsite avatars, VIA URL, to use as their custom AVs. The URL is entered at the bottom of the Avatar selection screen, and once you have choosen it, click the 'select avatar' button at the top, and your AV should appear. We still enforce a 64x64 rule, so all AV's should be that size.

You mean the one generated by people who were too daft ever to figure out they could delete the "message edited by (member) xx/yy/zzzz" text? If so, that's already been taken care of.

Great!!

DanAdamKOF · Mar 19, 2003

Cool update. Just, I liked it better before when there was only one sig per person per page. Don't really know why, it's just kinda annoying seeing them over and over when someone posts a lot on one page.

/me sends a quick thank-you to God for X-death not having a sig. *

EDIT: Hmm, the selling and wanted forums have switched places. Odd.

Thats the one, it was very annoying when people were too daft though. It does still seem to be with us though.

I honestly find that feature extremely annoying. I don't want some stupid letter flashing on and off telling me to hurry up and go read messages I have already digested the contents of via the e-mail notification.
