Michael, sorry to be pain in the ass I am just posting what I am observing. Not a big deal though.

Which forum?

On Board Index I am seeing all users but on Board Index>>>gatewayredbirds, I am seeing just me.

This is due to how they related to how they implemented subforums (I didn't implement that here). I could give you a long winded response why this makes sense but it'd bore everyone to tears.

A PM would be appreciated. I am curious to know. I am Tech Geek and I am always curious on Techy things. You dont have to do it now. Take your time. When you are bored and there's nothing to do, send me the PM.

Thanks!

Basically "Gateway Redbirds" is a sub forum of "Board index". Think of it like directories in windows.

I have:

Board index --> Gateway Redbirds --> Baseball Talk
Board index --> Gateway Redbirds --> Minors
Board index --> Gateway Redbirds --> Other Sports
Board index --> Gateway Redbirds --> Social, etc


But I could create something like this:

"Board index" --> Sports --> Baseball Talk (with posts here) --> Minors (with posts here)
"Board index" --> Sports --> Other Sports (No posts) --> Basketball (with posts here)
"Board index" --> Sports --> Other Sports (No posts) --> Hockey, etc (with posts here)

"Board index" --> Social (with posts here) --> Rants (with posts here)

Etc.

I went with a very simple flat design. "Gateway Redbirds" is a forum but not many users hang out there.

Gotcha. I was thinking of more like:


Board index --> Baseball Talk
Board index --> Minors
Board index --> Other Sports
Board index --> Social, etc

Now that I think about it, it will be ugly appearance wise when you do this. Your design makes perfect sense.

Michael - great job! Appreciate all you do for the GRB community.

I couldn't get my avatar to resize, but figured it was time for a change anyway.

I noticed it wouldn't let me put in an avatar bigger than 130 wide (the restriction on the avatar panel) but smaller than GRB guidelines allow (170 wide). No biggie - apparently there's a workaround, since some avs are bigger than that.

Is putting Quotes on Sigantures stretching the Browser? I feel in PHPBB3 its more wider than the older version. I am fine with this. I feel some people may have a problem with it. Are you planning to create some guidelines for this like "No Quotes allowed in Sig" ?

Overall, PHPBB3 is great. I love it!!

Thanks for the kind words.

I changed it to 130 because the left sided was a little funky looking. I guess I can boost it back if everyone would like me to. It doesn't bug me because I use proSilver instead of the default interface.

No, putting quotes in sigs does not stretch the browser, only images can. phpBB3 should feel more open and I think that's a good thing.

I'm glad you like it. I figure some userwill initially hate it but they'll grow to appreciate it. A lot of the new back end admin tools make my life much easier.
