 Hello,  we actually already have the capacity to do this already, and have been working toward getting them ready to go back on the site for the last couple of weeks... You will see them pretty soon.

Umm...how can you honestly live without one?  Just curious...OK.   I know some of you feel they are ball-n-chain device...but they are handy.

Quite easily actually.  People call me at home.  I call people at home.  When I go shopping, I go shopping.  If I forget something, I either use a pay phone (way cheaper per month) or wait until next time.  In my opinion, there is nothing in my life that requires my instant response.

Now, I'm not saying there aren't people who need to be reachable at all times, I can think of many.  I'm just not one of them.

We all talked about this, and we all agree that the extra decimal point would be worth it.  You will see this changed either tonight or tomorrow.  Thanks for alerting us to this!

This EXACTLY one of the reasons I refuse to get a cell phone.

I don't care if I seem ancient or archaic.  I am not someone on a leash and if I want to be unavailable I don't feel like I need to make an excuse for it.

I second this!  I also refuse to own a cell phone for these very reasons.  It's not that there aren't moments that I wish I had one, they just don't out weigh the cost/bother/leash associated.

Also worth mentioning, There is a new theme in the works for this site which doesn't fall apart when text sizes are changed... or have text slide out of frames/disappear or any of that crap.  It would be up now, but I haven't had a chance to finish it because the powers that be keep getting me to work on new sections for the site... which I suppose isn't a bad thing either!

So, there are prospects on the horizon for us.  I really want our site to hold up for all ways that people view it.  I hurts me soul a little bit when seeing sites (this one included) which can't look the same zoomed up as it does using default settings.

Hi,

I have found the problem to be a table cell not wrapping as it's supposed to.  The left side where the user avatar is was getting wider with the larger fonts and pushing the post body into the overflow.  I've fixed the cell (the thead row where it says Thread (## posts)) to not force the left column to expand.  Expect this fix to be on the site in the next few hours.

I just want to reply to this quickly and parhaps bring a few things to light on such a subject.

1. First of all, while you might not find the FlyFF background appealing, it must appeal to someone or chances are the developers wouldn't have made it.

2. Those assets are given to us from the developers/pr firm for FlyFF. When a skin as such is being made we *have* to use what they give us, so your complaint might be misguided in this case.

3. And, don't worry they don't last forever. Just remember that ads and skins such as that support this site so it can be free for you. While in a perfect world, our site could exist ad-free, we do have many bills and this is how we handle them.

In addition to our bills being paid, you might be introduced to a product (in this case a game) that you didn't know about in the meantime.

Relax.

We have also seen this happen, and it seems to be related to certain ads being delivered to the site from a 3rd Party. We have already brought this to their attention and are hoping to hear back very soon. It is kinda annoything for sure.

Opera is indeed a tricky beast.  At first glance it should be all that it's said to be, but there are a few quirks with it.  One is that our wysiwyg text edtor (FCKeditor) doesn't fully support opera, so when found it drops down to a plain-jane textarea.  I cannot reproduce your issue on three machines and various OS's.

My thoughts of possible causes/suggestions:

1. I have seen that the y-overflow for the smilies doesn't work corrently and every single smiliey is listed visible, pushing the textarea a couple screen folds down.  Maybe look for this?

2. It is remotely possible (this is just a guess mind you) that if you are using Opera and using the identifly as IE thing, it might be fooling our editor that your IE, except it doesn't work with Opera.

Maybe if you could offer more details into your machine setup and method to reproduce I might be able to help more.

Couldn't agree with you more!  I have actually addressed both of these issues already in a new theme I'm building for the site (which I'm hoping will take the role as default), but I haven't finished it, as it's not a top priority task on my list.

The font size will be .8em and the line height will be 1.3em in when the new theme actually gets finished.

And to add, clearing your cookies / Private Data will erase the cookie that instructs this site to auto-log you in.

This addition is actually on the board as something we want to add to the forums, unfortunately it just isn't at the top.  I know I can think of many times I really wanted to rate a post up for being awesome or putting the smack-down.

There is a quick gamelist on the top right of the page now, it shows all active games, and has 3 view modes.  Hope this does the trick for ya.

Yes it will.  The art assets have already been created and it will be enabled as soon as all the data for the game has been entered and verified.

Hi,  this is a task I'm doing today, except I hopefully won't be putting it on the homepage, but in the site header itself, so it will be accessable on every page of the site.

p.s. Sorry, I'm just tired of people constantly placing restrictions on us. The more liberal we get, the more restrictions we have...how does that work?

Love that quote!  How true.

Two of the guys on staff are busy building up the gamelist even now.  We could probably add OS though, this data is already stored.

When the guys are done adding all the 2D and good browser games to the list there will be the option to filter out the 2D ones.

I just got back from Austin, and came here to see the final verdict of this poll, so I can see what I needed to do for the deleted posts, and it seems we have a tie.  Going to check at 10am EST to see if the vote has been spun.

Actually, I've made local changes to the login system, which will allow the auto-login/remember me checkbox to be present on everypage and for persitant cookies to work correctly.  This should be tested and checked into live this week, which I have to say has been a long time over due.
