Ah yes, thanks for that. It is strange that the avatar carries across though, hmm.

Rhakios, click the "Profile" link at the top of this page: the forum settings appear to be independent of the main site settings.

Have to admit, it would be nice to have them all accessible from one single My Account page.

I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere...

Not entirely sure how adblock recodes the page, but dumping out that gif would screw up the table.

I can't seem to get the News stories working in Firefox at the moment - click on a story or a comment and I get "Bad arguments for API function" at the moment - anyone else getting that?

Guy - thanks for that - it used to be grey in the default postnuke theme which wasn't great so I changed the style for that link, but I need to change the colour for the visited link too.

Just a small irritant for nonregistered visitors.
The black message line under the main blue title panel has a text link in it - to the login/register page, I think. The link text can go very dark (when the page has been visited?) and hard to see.
Us registered users don't get any links in there so we don't see the problem.

Cheers,
Guy

Try Browsing -> resize large images to fit... in Firefox's prefs.

Hi Brian,

I haven't seen the problem that you're describing and I am on 1.0.2.

Perhaps it is something else? I'm not sure what it could be - have you tried clearing any browser cache or refreshing the page?

Andy

No , it doesn't. It get's cached to cut down on the overhead for the front page.

tsk. I can't believe you made me type my username (well, Firefox did it for me) and paste that password from the registration form THREE TIMES! I've waited all this time for the site to return and you haven't even completely rewritten the way web browsers handle cookies. What on earth have the LXF team been doing during the downtime?

That's exactly it. You will have to reenter on the .co.uk domain (which is live now, at least here, the DNS may take a while to propagate).
