So that's what caused it!

The "Control Panel" button has disappeared off the menu bar at the top of every screen in the forums.

So what is the current best way to get to the control panel? Finding a post with your name and clicking on your user name will show you your settings, but won't let you change them.

One of our members is beating me up with e-mail about how to change his settings, and my reply to click on "control panel" no longer applies. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img]

On edit: <font color=red>WAIT!</font color=red> I found it. They changed the name of "Control Panel" to "My Home". [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img]

Can you change your search "hits" to the "flat" mode now instead of the "threaded" mode?

We cannot proceed.
We encountered a problem. The reason reported was:

The host you are trying to send the input from is not a valid host.

This is not necessarily an error. If you feel this is an error then it could be something as simple as your browser not being set to accept cookies. If you feel this error is a problem with the server then please contact webmaster@ford-diesel.com and let us know what exactly went wrong so it can be fixed as soon as possible. Otherwise, please use your back button to return to the previous page.

Jason this is what I got when trying to post a new topic. I am now seeing if I can make a reply. I do have cookies on, - everything is set the same as before. It may be that your new software wiped out what you did so people with Norton's Personal firewall could use the forum???

I tried it with and without the {} and url to no avail

Thank you Ed

On Edit: I cannot reply either - same message without disabeling Norton and I don't like doing that.

Edit II : I can reply by disabeling Norton, so that must be the problem. - Ed

Now if 6.0 would come out! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Take care,

Kevin

That firewall hides certain variables that it shouldn't be hiding. I commented that section out again so you can post.

Just a quick question about the new FAQ - where is the titles that it mentions such as journeyman, newbie etc..

All I see is member under the usernames

Just thought I'd ask [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Cheers

Not to be a Whiny Wendy, but is there any way to reverse the "Views" and "Replies" columns on the thread lists? That's probably my only real irritation with UBBThreads.

Renegade:

A couple of years, or more, ago, we had Junior Members and Members. It was decided we didn't want two classes of members. No second class citizens, so to speak.

Oh I remember those days - just as I was getting to go from jr to member when it was done away with.

But I assumed since it now listed in the new FAQ (different than the other day) it was reinstated again am I off base?

mhardin · 01-21-2002, 10:27 PM

The FAQs are a part of the forum software. They are kind of generic to fit the needs of most sites. Jason will have to edit them, if he feels the need, and gets the time.
