Steamer said:The amount of white space is really annoying- there's a very large margin on either side that's permanently white,Agreed. That's something I REALLY REALLY HATE about some web sites - they seem to think that I have this enormous metre-wide screen that means I only want to look at the middle bit. There is absolutely no justification for having these big blank bars. If I think the page is too wide, I'll narrow the window. Log in to reply |

On the topic of timezones, I've just noticed that the server is ignoring my setting and just showing the times as UTC (so currently an hour wrong). I hope this will be fixed.

Screen width should be fixed now, but we might yet make more improvements based on constructive criticism. Timezone has already been mentioned and is on the Wiki page. SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

On the latest posts page, it shows all recent posts made on all boards, even the ones you don't have access too. However when you click on one you don't have access too you get a 404 error. Eg I see that Clive gas put a post in the general (developers) board, but I can not read the post (as it should be)

For some reason, my phone is not loading the mobile version of the site. This is likely an issue my end. There is no "switch to mobile" button/link like you find on other websites for situations when mobile devices don't automagically detect the correct version.

Would be nice if the forum-reply-body CSS class didn’t have a !important height set. Firefox normally puts a little handle in the corner of multiline text boxes allowing them to be resized so you can see more text onscreen at once. The !important height seems to prevent this from working. Added to the wiki page.

I saw this yesterday with Firefox - I'd click on my user name in the title bar and then "Log off" - it would take me to the home page and show me as logged out, but apparently fail to delete/reset/invalidate the login cookie, because as soon as I'd click on any link, it would log me back in again. However as of today this seems to be working correctly.

Hi I have found another issue that may need looking into. I was in My Account section just to double check the info was correct and decided to add my birth date which showed up as 1968/01/15 08:01:04 I saved it and then clicked on Edit My Profile to check it had saved but noticed it displayed my birth date as 0015/01/19 08:01:04. Can other users please check themselves just to make sure it not just me. Cheers. Dave p.s. There is no Preview Post option as sometimes its good to see what your message looks like before you click Submit. Log in to reply |

It was using both logout links can't think what was doing to cause it but it happened on 3 seperate occasions. and in a forum post for a multi player game (I note forum section Now gone since post 1st went up) when I was logged out and veiwing the post I could see the IP address the user put in, this was NOT in the New upcoming games section. I have attempted to attach a screen shot. Log in to reply |

GeoffM said:Screen width should be fixed now, but we might yet make more improvements based on constructive criticism.The removal of the margins is definitely an improvement, in my opinion the Shoutbox and other sidebars could do with being reduced in width a bit. The text formatting in quotes is very bizarre- the text at the very top is in a tiny font (which can be difficult to read), and then increases in size. Where quotes are embedded, there's no relation between text size and how deeply they're embeded, which makes it difficult to tell who wrote what- there are multiple examples of this in this thread. Would it be possible to format quotes so that text size is consistent, but formatted so it's obvious it's a quote? For example, italic text or a grey background to the quoted text?

License Manager should now be working again. If you're missing one or two products then don't worry, your license is still there, just some data mismatch I'd need to fix. Apologies to all those who have emailed, PM, Skyped, and generally posted questions, comments, or rants to me: I've just been rushed off my feet trying to get things fixed. I'm now offline for the weekend and we'll resume fixing things Monday/Tuesday. Thanks for your patience. SimSig Boss Log in to reply The following users said thank you: njimiller, postal, BarryM |

For some reason, topics in "General (Developers)" and "General (Testers)" are showing up for me when I view "Latest Posts". I'm unable to access the threads and those forums aren't listed in the main list of forums (so the permissions work on some level), but I can see the topics and first+last posters.

Don't seem to have quite the same access to forum functionality as before but these areas are shown as locked private in the control pages but I guess the headline is not. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

I've checked again and it seems like all the previously hidden spam posting are not just visible on the "Latest Posts" page, but in their respective subforums as well - and the post is actually accessible after clicking on it.

Hmm, a moment ago, it still didn't work on my PC at home (which is using Firefox as well), however after clearing cookies for SimSig.co.uk, logging out seems to work. The only cookie that seems to have been recreated is some cookie with a random looking name, although I don't know whether its the true culprit or if it was in fact some innocent remnant of the previous homepage and something else is to blame.
