Moderators nicknames doesn't discern from "normal" users anymore. Well, except for "Global Moderators" (apparently, have seen it in the legend, but none online) wharever that is. :)

It is not a bug, it is feature. Now normal Cantr Staff may not hide their presence and still not get so many PM-s from angry players ;) Well, until they are not Forum Admins or well recognized staff members :]

When I tried to change my signature to be coloured, it still showed the colour code (you know, color=#FF00BF, or w/e). It seems to work fine elsewhere, like in a PM...

There are some new symbols appearing to the left of some threads, that are not explained in the legend at the bottom of the page. Coul they be added or is there external documentation for that?

CTRL + F5 does a refresh and clears the browser cache

I'm changing some of the icons as Global, Stickies, and Announcements aren't easily distinguishable.

I updated my signature and the links and dragon pics are no longer showing up. I do have BBCode on.

Having the box checked Disables BBCode. I enabled it again on your signature.

Hmm, the checkbox wasn't checked, but when I checked it and hit preview, then unchecked it again and hit preview again, that fixed it.

Woot. It was kinda confusing because yes the disable box was checked, but to the left of it it said BBcode on. Anyways, thanks :D

I got this from Tiddy Ogg:
This new forum is unusable by me - the designers obviously had no
concept of accessibility. It is impossible to submit a message.


I'm not for sure what the issue is, but some neuron in the back of my head is whispering that he might be blind and use a program to read the screen. I could be completely wrong about that. The Post Reply button was a button in the last version also, so I don't see what could be preventing him from "seeing" it.

I don't quite understand either. Everything is where it was before.

Tiddy is blind, or very near it.

Actually, I don't think he is the only blind Cantr player.

Regardless of him being blind or not, he could have not been a jerk about it. I've set his theme to prosilver which is the default PHPBB3 theme.
