I wouldn't allow that Dan


Also how do I log out ? I can't see how to!



No no that's a good feature! It deletes the cookies created by phpBB which keep you authenticated and logged into the board. If you are having login or logout problems, deleting your board cookies may help :D

How about opening a new window when clicking a link rather than using the bcttt window. This prevents those of us with the memory of a goldfish :roll: closing said window and having to reopen the forum one ?

If that makes sense to anyone other than me, i'll eat my aero helmet.

Makes sense to me ;) If you click with the mouse wheel (assuming you've got one) it'll open it in a new tab/window. If you've not got a mouse wheel, press ctrl and click to open another tab/window.

Hi Dan, not issues but some thoughts, not sure if they are possible to do but thought I'd ask..

Live bookmark feed for my Browser - I find the current one really useful
Going straight to a new post, is there a way of going straight to the latest post in a topic rather than the first post (or a specifically numbered page?)
Replicate the front forum page of the old forum. i.e. all non-read posts are displayed..

does this make sense?

any questions let me know.

Right, I should be able to do something with the live bookmarks.

In terms of going straight to the latest post and the displaying of non read posts on the home page, I'm not sure. phpBB is still pretty new to me, and unless there are options for those things in my admin area (is pretty extensive!) it will require some manual modifications to the system, which is doable but can cause issues with the native phpBB software when phpBB offers an upgrade. I'll defo have a look into it though.

Can't upload an avatar pic. I don't get an error message, instead I get an "IE cannot display the webpage" page. As fa as I can tell I've made it small enough.

Sorry for the late reply mate. There should be an option in your user control panel if you havn't found it already.
