  1. Can you send me a screenshot? I'm at 1280x800 which is the max resolution on my machine. That is an intention design choice in the skin.
  2. Making a change to that now. Let's see how variable width with a minimum defined width works. Let me know if this improves things for you.
  3. Okay, that should be fixed now. Let me know if you still run into that issue.
  4. Hopefully I can catch you online later. I believe this can be resolved quickly. I will try to meet you in the chat for a speedy resolution.
  5. Could you elaborate? I've only seen one or two examples of the tagging system being used and so far everything seems to be working with it.
  6. No, but with enhancements to the View New Content page, you can search out unread content through a number of different filters. As for topic descriptions, it's a feature I'll miss slightly, even though I didn't get a lot of use out of it. Still, the tags will be used to better describe the content, and can then be used to seek out similar content. That should make them pretty useful after newer topics are created with tagging.
  7. Content you follow can also be accessed by clicking your username at the top and selecting "Content I follow" from the dropdown menu.
  8. Still having trouble posting. Read the announcement on clearing your cache. Post here if you are still having a problem after following that step.

      Sounds like you still have something stuck in your browser. Test with and alternate browser to confirm.

      Still having problems. Quick reply doesn't come up on either Chrome, Mozilla or IE.

      I've temporarily enabled the default skin for staff. Take a look and let me know if it was a skin problem.

  9. If anyone is having trouble posting, try clearing your cached data by holding down the Shift key while clicking the page reload button on your browser. This will eliminate any old bits that may be causing you trouble.
  10. I checked and the rules do appear, announcements are more separated now and appear at the very top directly below the forum name/description. As for the separator line between threads, check my attached image. There is a line for me. Let me know if you are seeing anything differently. The Likes may be adding to stats, but I have disabled any overall counters from appearing. I do think the like system is nice and will work especially well as a "thanks" type system, but I have no interest in seeing the point races return.
  11. A lot of notifications have been moved to the top tray. There are no longer options for popups in notification settings, so it must be a depreciated feature.
  12. Keep in mind that in addition to that the menu at the top shows the number of people in the chat. At the bottom of the board there is also a list of users active in chat when there is anyone in the room.
  13. I don't know about chat invites. I think if people wanted to chat they would do so freely. One thing from the days of SP when we had the chat room was to keep a topic pinned in the Lounge where you could point out that you were waiting in chat if anyone wanted to join you. If you happen to get a global mod (Support Team) group member present, they will also have the ability to create a forum-wide announcement.
  14. I think my phone is smarter than I am.

  15. Okay, I thought last month was bad. Heat index at 119F (48C) right now, and I have to go to work. :(

  16. Just wanted to remind everyone that SoccerShouts is ready to go on the go with you. Check out our page of Mobile Apps for Android and iPhone, and you can keep up with posting while on the go. If you don't have Android or iPhone, you can still view the board on the go. No app needed, just access the forum from a mobile browser and you will see our fast loading mobile view.
  17. Great. Thanks for the confirmation. I'm hoping more people opt to use the mobile version as SS grows as it removes the limitation of being at home or work in front of a computer to continue a discussion. I should be switching from Blackberry to Android at the end of the month so at least I can do proper testing of the Android app and mobile theme in general.
  18. What kind of error are you getting? I know some people have been accessing the site via iOS devices, but I don't know if they are using the app or not. I will have to see if I can borrow a iPhone/iPod from a friend to test. I only have Blackberry so I can't confirm.
  19. If you just go to SS while on your iPhone you will see a mobile skin. You can access forums and post without an app. If you want an even nicer view of the boards and more functions, there are a couple of iPhone apps listed on the page Luke linked that will do an even better job.
  20. Event was decent, but you have to watch it knowing the last episode may be the end of the series. There is still discussion about it being picked up by another network, but I haven't seen anything promising.
  21. At least part of that new service is supposed to be free. But I do think Activation is looking for any and every opportunity to charge for anything they think they can get away with. I'm okay with paying for map packs too, but in this case I wasn't getting enough time put into the game. If they were $10 like just about any other games map packs, I probably would have grabbed them and kept the game a while longer. But when you start getting charged for weapons or perks or anything that puts you at a significant disadvantage if you don't pay up, then I start to lose interest quickly. If they are really struggling that badly, raise the price of a game from $60 to $65 and stop breaking the games by taking so much out of them. As for sports games, I have last years NHL, but that's about it. Sports games don't really interest me for very long.
  22. I'm more of a Battlefield fan myself. I did play the first two Modern Warfare titles, but never bothered with World at War or Black Ops. Love the first one, but didn't spend as much time with the second. It was a good game, but I was tied up in other things at the time. Around the time they decided to start putting out $15 map packs, I dumped the game on eBay. As for the third installment, I will probably hold off for a while because if I remember correctly its release closely coincides with the release of Battlefield 3. I can't really discuss changes/wishes for MW3 as I have no idea what was done in Black Ops. At the same time, I am interested in seeing what the dual development teams can accomplish with a largely different team at Infinity Ward.
  23. I'll begin by saying the last 18 hours or so were completely unplanned. Here's a quick rundown of events. May 2: Discussion with the host regarding the sites high-normal resource usage. After a brief discussion, it was determined that we were okay to continue. Host: May 8: Good day. I attend a good friends wedding, come home and relax. Make a post or two before going to bed. Refresh the page one last time before I call it a night, and find an account suspended message. Wtf? So much for sleep. Get in contact immediately with the host. Suspended for the same thing we just discussed. Huh? Host: Keep in mind the site growth was flat during the May 2-8 period, possibly even a bit lower than when we had the original chat. I think I see the plan here. Payment date for hosting is the 5th, so wait until after they get more of my money to change their mind. Those two posts from the host are both from the owner no less, so it isn't different people with differing opinions. Then they go and tack on a $50.00 administrative fee automatically charged to my credit card, so now I have to file a chargeback for unauthorized use. So, I've taken my backups and moved to a new host. Sean at Speedy Sparrow (http://www.speedysparrow.com) has been understanding of the situation and extremely helpful assisting with the restoration of the backups so we could get back up and running quickly. I wish I had investigated this host earlier. I'm really quite annoyed over the whole situation, but I am happy we are back up and running in less than a day, with no loss of any data. If you do see any bugs though, report them as usual.
  24. I watched the first episode and wasn't as impressed as I thought I would have been from the previews. I've pushed in back in my list of things to watch. Please tell me it gets better? I just wrapped up the first seasons of Camelot and Game of Thrones, both pretty decent but Game of Thrones in a must watch for fantasy lovers. Now that those seasons have ended I will keep up with season 4 of True Blood, and I've dug into my backlog and have been watching Jericho on Netflix, then it is on to Doctor Who season 5 (modern series).
  25. There will be some issues today as our host has moved to a new datacenter. If you are noticing outages with the forum or pages not loading correctly this is due to the move and subsequent changes to the sites IP address. Hopefully this will all be cleared up shortly.
