I've noticed that since the switch several members have quite a few unread PMs. I'm assuming that might be because this particular theme doesn't say "Hey, (member's name), you have (so many total) messages, (number) are new" in the header like most of our other themes have (and only the SMF developers know why that is :- ). So, I should probably mention that in this theme the number in parentheses to the right of the "MY MESSAGES" button in the main menu indicates how many new PMs are waiting to be read.  :)  To read them, simply click the button.  ;)

Just for the record, the forum downtime this afternoon had nothing to do with our recent upgrade. Our host was apparently working on something, as hosts do from time to time.  ;)

Also, I believe I've figured out why the spoiler mod isn't working with our forum - ...

Holy shite - call me a simpleton, but your work makes my head spin! Thank you so much for what you're doing for us and the online community of DS fans.

I've checked back through the last thirteen pages of the alphabet game, and none of the posts that show the tally of all the words that have been used are showing up.

?

Strange.

No need to worry - only the latest update shows up in the topic, retzev. As soon as the new updated list has been posted, whoever posted it deletes the previous list. Not only does that save a lot of space in the database, it eliminates a lot of repeating of the entries in the game.  :)

since it appears that we cannot presently include spoilers in our posts could the spoiler icon at least be returned to the choice of message icons?

The spoiler message icon should return before the end of the day - along with a few other surprises.  ;)

The spoiler message icon is back.  :)  The surprise, however, will be a bit longer...

when I tried to do a spoiler and tried to do the preview it just keep loading but didn't come up. So I took out the spoiler. Sorry to be so dense can we do spoilers or not?

If the Icon is back ???

Lori, only the icon is back (found in the list of Message icons)-- to warn that a spoiler is in the post since most posters still can't use the spoiler code.

I plan on simply inserting into my posts at appropriate junctures:   LOOK OUT!!!!!!   SPOILERS!!!!!!   RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!!!!!   So, watch for that.      Not for those with high blood pressure.

Midnite.... congrats on the 5000 posts!    Only 1000 to go to catch up with MB!     If you work hard, you could catch up tonight....   that'd be a big surprise for us all tomorrow morning, wouldn't it?!

She actually has less than 1000 posts to go to catch up to me, but I just haven't gotten around yet to adjusting our post totals for a certain type of post that at present isn't being counted.  ;)

Just a question--when will we be able to change the colors? The blue is sooo washy-outey...? I do love all the changes so far--you guys are doing a fantastic job!  [clap2] I'm not complaining--just wondering. [wink2] Thanks!

I agree, rainingwolf - I can't wait to get rid of this theme! And I assure you I'm working as hard as possible on that. The Lightning Theme is nearing completion, but it's not there yet (damn the intrusions of real life  ;)). But as soon as it's even mostly presentable, just to get rid of this one, I may simply install the Lightning Theme and then continue tweaking it. And that *may* happen soon (if real life cooperates  :D).

Until then, here's peek at the look/color scheme:

Though there have actually been a few tweaks since I shared that image with Midnite and dom a few days ago...
