Re: Biggest competition threats to PHPBB forums
There is a flash banner ad, but if you had taken the time to notice, it's actually relevant to the industry that the site supports. Wouldn't matter to me whether it's relevant or not. IMO flash is the scourge of the internet, and I try my best to stay away from sites that use it. I'm not sure what ...

Re: Biggest competition threats to PHPBB forums
If you want to see a terrific example of what phpBB can be, go look at BOB. That board may have some great things under the hood, but you don't get a second chance to make a good first impression -- and it makes a less-than-desirable first impression. After seeing the (essentially-unmodified) subsi...

Re: Forum list layout
That's just an opinion, which I completely disagree with. And since when making something more logical is going backwards? Because it reminds you of subsilver2? Your comment about your proposal being more logical is an opinion which I completely disagree with. ;) Did forums list ever break in subsi...

Re: Forum list layout
Problem with display:table is it ignores width limitations. If content is too wide, it will stretch whole row. Also splitting content into 2 rows on small devices is a problem with tables. I did try tables solution in several of my styles, it caused more troubles than solved problems. Never again. ...

Re: Forum list layout
With Microsoft forcing IE10 upgrades through Windows Update, IE7 has officially, FINALLY, become a thing of the past. The only people who could possibly be using IE7 at this point are those still using WinXP or who disabled Windows Update, and those people have the ability to upgrade to IE8 (XP) or ...

Re: Replace image buttons with css
Arial 14px bold will be very close to the look of the 3.0.x image-based buttons. Arial is a supported font on all Windows and Mac desktop/notebook systems, as well as all iPhones and iPads. Android devices only have one sans-serif font (Droid Sans), and at 14px bold, it looks even better for the but...

Re: Advantages of Font Icon Replacement
The best solution is to select a font that supports the (Unicode) dingbat characters you want to display. Here are the Unicode dingbats. ✁ ✂ ✃ ✄ ✅ ✆ ✇ ✈ ✉ ✊ ✋ ✌ ✍ ✎ ✏ ✐ ✑ ✒ ✓ ✔ ✕ ✖ ✗ ✘ ✙ ✚ ✛ ✜ ✝ ✞ ✟ ✠ ✡ ✢ ✣ ✤ ✥ ✦ ✧ ✨ ✩ ✪ ✫ ✬ ✭ ✮ ✯ ✰ ✱ ✲ ✳ ✴ ✵ ✶ ✷ ✸ ✹ ✺ ✻ ✼ ✽ ✾ ✿ ❀ ❁ ❂ ❃ ❄ ❅ ❆ ❇ ❈ ❉ ❊ ❋ ❌ ❍ ❎ ❏ ❐ ❑ ...

Re: Draft Editing/Loading Changes
You already get the full post editor for drafts. The only reason the buttons/smileys aren't being displayed is because posting_editor.html and posting_buttons.html have some conditionals which aren't defined in ucp_main.php . Here's what is needed. Just above these lines: // Set desired template $th...

Re: Advantages of Font Icon Replacement
Use of an icon-based font results in a bunch of garbage characters that will cause accessibility and SEO issues. Why? Take a look at what your site looks like if the CSS was removed. That is how screen readers and search engines look at your site... The best solution is to select a font that support...

Re: Replace font size BBCodes' inline HTML with CSS
How would the "Maximum font size per post" setting (ACP Post Settings) work if the sizes were changed to classes?
