Title: Forum maintenance later today
Post by: ukb on September 23, 2011, 08:50:04 am: We have to take the forum offline later to upgrade the server OS. Hopefully it will only take 24 hours or so. Wish us luck ...

(http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?P=3949fbb4767b950400d1035384f47395&topic=452888.0))

Out of pure curiosity what OS is the server running?

Something to do with penguins yet has a peculiar african sounding name :-\

Forum upgrade will be a separate step.

Post by: Johnny Brown on October 11, 2011, 01:25:31 pm: When I use the reply button the box extends off the right hand side of the screen so that if I keep typing it never justifies and then just disappears off into the matrix. It sorts itself out when I hit post but until then I have to add and then remove returns.

The quick reply box is fine though.

Whilst I'm moaning, is there any way we could have a show/ hide emoticons option in the above view? A lot of wasted screen space...

Post by: tomtom on October 11, 2011, 01:31:11 pm: show/hide emoticons is one of the options under your profile (somewhere..). I have none...

Post by: tomtom on October 11, 2011, 02:23:36 pm: We didnt have a ZX80 (dad nearly bought one) as we already had one of these:

Post by: slackline on October 18, 2011, 04:20:02 pm: Only just noticed its gone (as I wanted to use it) but there is no "Members" link across the top of the forum for searching/browsing registered members.

No big deal as I know who I'm looking for and how to PM them from a thread post which I'll readily identify, but a useful short cut to have available.

Try the "Forum" tab.

Ah ha, thanks for the pointer, off to get my eyes checked now.
