Well, actually I fixed yours. I used you as my guinea pig.

Going home soon, just a few more things to fix. So much for it being all sorted before you guys got to see it. Anyways, life goes on...

Wow... Then my timing was perfect on changing it...

Cameron set my signature... Wheee, I'm never changing it (All said in a sarcastic fangirl type of way that is just sad and depressing)

Anyhow, Im writing Accounting 3B tommorow, my last accounting exam ever (If I pass it that is... Adios)

I like the new look, and it might just be me, but it seems to load faster too.
It's a little bright compared to the blue, but nothing a quick gesture to the brightness controls can't fix.

BTW, all the comments in the poll section are blank.
Usually the good people of these forums have more to say ;)

Sig works fine.

When uploading avatar from machine the file type box is blank. Maybe that's the problem.

Uploading avatar from url results in a broken link.

Accessing from external source

Post by Tel »

When accessing pcf from an external source (eg. an email with a thread link) it does not log in automatically.

When I access www.pcformat.co.za, it shows that I am logged in, but when clicking on the link from an email I have to log in again.

I've had this problem (intermittently) before the site update. But even without explicitly logging in I can post a reply, after wich it shows me as logged on.

Thats because the entire theme is about 1MB. Not bad at all.

Is it possible to have the "Quick Reply" (and quick reply hide button) removed from the bottom (or just invisible) if viewing a locked thread?

OK, I'm really starting to like the whole light theme. Looks like a very informative and clean site.

Now it won't look like I'm browsing pr0n. :D

I would like the ability to log out from any page I'm viewing... I was on the Titan's Quest review page now and couldn't find any "log out" links (maybe I just didn't look hard enough?)

The new look is not too bad, but the old quick reply was better.It doesnt look right with the whole reply box at the bottom. If someone wants to use Emoticons or the text format things, they should learn them or press reply, IMHO

If you want to you can change it under your profile. Just choose basic under "Super Quick Reply MOD"
