Everyone's theme has been reset to the default theme, mea culpa.

The message indexes now feature working thumbnails for all threads with attachments on this, the default theme, only.

See what I mean:

That makes things a lot easier to read...

Just one thing - why do all the editors have question marks instead of stars under their username?

Thanks

Man, you've been burning the midnight oil!  :)

Does the software also accomodate thumbnails of embedded pictures? They (currently) don't show in the thumbnails.

I knew you'd be the one to ask.

There is no mod in SMF for that at this time.  One will come as it has been discussed.  I have no idea when it will come however.

I love the upgrades to the site.

Specially the fact that you can see a small pic of the puzzle pic without opening the thread. ( that will save a lot of time )


It seems the site has gotten quicker for me as well...

Only a small request: is it possible to inactivate the standard setting of "post a redirection topic"?

Yeah,  but I will have to edit the HTML to do it and I don't even know what template produces that pop-up window.

It ain't gonna happen soon.

Since we are looking for little improvements in a PER-FECT new site...is there a way to browse the different pages in the solved section?
I'm looking for a precise car, I remember who started it, but if it's not @re or yves there are hundreds of pages to go through 2 by 2...

I agree: that's one of the things I pointed in this topic:
http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=12303.0

I f only we could have a way to do directly to a page by its number... I've seen it quite often. Here an example from a french site.

If this is feature is not available there's a little trick you can do. You can jump to certain pages simply by editing the end value of the adress line of your browser. It works in the solved section with 20 increments. 20, 40, 60...100 etc.. (note the pics)

The message indexes now feature working thumbnails for all threads with attachments on this, the default theme, only.

 :thumbsup:

Is it also possible that the thumbnails show up when you click the 'Show unread posts since last visit' button?

(We are never happy, are we)

 I am glad you guys are pleased.
