['Help' -> 'BBCode']

Hey, AGA. This might be just me being a bit daft here, but:

The BBcode for hiding spoiler text is not explained in the list under 'Help' -> 'BBCode'  (forum's menu bar).
[hide] ... Your spoiler text here ...[/hide]

That entry would be quite helpful for new people, I suppose?

Just realised the link was actually pointing to the SMF wiki, the editing of which would not be appropriate.  However, I actually made a custom version for our forums ages ago, which I apparently forgot to publish, which is now linked.  It's still mildly broken (no images for instance), but I'll sort that later.

So it was (anyone who had any of the icons).  Fixed now.

Quite possibly.  That page is something I hacked in a while ago (because SMF for some insane reason doesn't include that by default...), and it's probably not exhaustive.  I'll put it in!

Given I hacked it in myself, that's pretty unlikely.  Should be fine!

Even better, have a thing:

I didn't (at least not deliberately) change anything about the smilies...  I've never noticed whether or not there was a preceding space before, but I almost never use unusual smilies.

Huh?  I've looked at quick reply and reply in both forum themes, and I have no idea what you mean!

The site and forums render just fine in up to date versions of all major browsers.  If you're using an out of date version, or some obscure browser, you can't expect it to be supported.

Expecting old versions of IE - which notoriously don't support web standards properly - to be supported is a little silly.  If I was Amazon and had a dedicated team of web developers devoted to making the site work in all conceivable browsers, maybe I would, but as it is I'm just one man doing this for free, so you have no right to *expect* anything.  So shush

I'm afraid you'll have to learn to live with it.  I don't get paid enough (or indeed at all) to waste time getting the site to work perfectly in a browser as broken as IE.  Especially given this is a tech community, and fewer than 10% of visitors use IE.

Can't apply custom permissions to administrator accounts, so I'd have to read them still

Well I didn't want to tell anyone yet, but I am also pregnant.  Chris Jones is the father.

Where's the fun in that?

Hey man, I've played Assassin's Creed III.  I know the revolution was nothing but a Templar plot.

There.

Well given that fairness is uniquely American, it's a pity this website is British.  No fairness for you.

Also, interesting that you don't know him, given you're posting from the same IP address.

Oh, and you can't read this because you're banned.

There.

There is no link back to normal interface, the default http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/ is it.  Maybe your cache is malformed or something, so perhaps trying emptying it.  If you're using a mobile browser it's also possible your browser referrer is telling the forums you're on a mobile device and it's using a mobile protocol by default.  If that's the case, try changing your referrer to identify as desktop.

There, sorted.

The problem was that for some reason the extension was ignoring the CSS in the AGS and AGSCompact theme folders (which I had changed) and falling back to the default one (which I don't usually need to touch).  Odd!

The image icon is actually a little large, so if someone wants to resize it to 16x16px that'd be helpful.  I don't have anything more than Paint on my work PC, and that makes it go all blurry.

Yeah, the image is still on the server, I just can't work out why the image isn't showing properly.  SMF is so complicated!
