@Tabata - Oh I see... how random.
I wonder why it would mess up for some users but not others.  Not that I spend much time admiring my own profile, but still  :tongue:

Yes, mine is just like that. I do not have the sidebar like AGA's, it's all on the top like Tabata's with 3 drop down options for your profile.
    Profile Info
        -Summary
        -Show Stats
        -Show Posts..
    Modify Profile
        -Account Settings
        -Forum Profile
        -Look and Layout
        -Notifications
        -Personal Messaging
        -Buddies/Ignore List
    Actions
        -Delete this Account

This is probably a long shot, but those of you who are having problems, try pressing Ctrl+F5 to do a complete refresh of the page including the CSS stuff. I doubt this is the case, but who knows.

Something new (with SMF 2.0) is the option between the drop-down stuff or the side-panel stuff.  If you have the drop-downs (like Tabata) and want the side-panel stuff look all the way over to the right you should see two little arrows << ... click those and it will swap to the side-panel layout.  Not sure if this was unclear to anybody.  It's horribly designed and not very obvious what it is for.

But the toggle bar is only about the design

I showed both versions earlier
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=45853.msg616086#msg616086

and some don't have the needed links to be shown

Yeah, I found the thing where I can toggle between tabs/sidebars, but as Tabby says, I only have 'modify profile' (tab/sidebar section), and I am missing the 'profile info' and 'actions' tabs/sections. And I still have no option to view my own profile...

This is a much more compacted version (hence the name).  I don't like it nearly as much but I think it will appease those that felt the default AGS theme had too much "dead" space.  For the most part it's identical to the default AGS theme, I just tucked in most of the padding.
Your efforts are appreciated Darth. Is there any way the compact theme could also effect the way the posts are displayed as well - i.e. min post size, since switching off avatars doesn't do a lot?

Could the Recruitment thread be sorted like how the Competition thread is?
Sticky
Unlocked
Locked


It would be nice to have the locked threads not getting in the way of the threads that are still looking for help.
;)  Thanks guys!

Done and done.

Guess it didn't bother me, but I went ahead and switched to the compact theme. Didn't really recognize a difference. Anyway, the forum upgrade is starting to look a lot nicer I think. I've noticed various tidbits that work nicely.

Just to confirm, I also only have the Modify button and options. I do not have the Profile Info and Actions sections that Tabata has.

All I have is:

Profile (in the Nav Bar)
Summary (Profile menu subitem)
Account Settings (Profile menu subitem)

All three of which take me to Account Settings

The last subitem I have is Forum Profile which takes me to the page to edit my profile. I cannot see my public profile. The options are the same regardless of which way I have the options toggled (sidebar or above)

I can confirm this too, no 3 sections on the nav bar, just one, and no way to see my own profile like others do or have a way to see my last posts and my stats.

Also, just to be sure, I tested it in Firefox, Chrome and IE, and with AGS, AGS compact and board default theme, it makes no difference.
Really strange how only Tabata seems to have more buttons.

Same here, though I talked to Babar and he does not have this problem, so it confirms that only some users have this problem..

I wonder whether it's only people with custom titles, (e.g. Administrator, Moderator, Mittens Initiate etc), that can see their profiles properly? Difficult to check, since some of that information is no longer visible.

.. and I am getting countless general database errors since the morning of 29th , when trying to post in the forum or try to sent a PM.
Strangely one post in an other thread could be done by me (but only once and without any chance to modify that post or do an other one in any thread). But I am still able to receive PM's  ???

Just wanted to report that here to be known
...  if I succeed with one of my countless attempts to send this.
(and there might be some others with the same prob)

Also sending a very big thanks to Frodo, who cared about me and tried to help getting me out of my loneliness

@Tabata - these posts and PM that won't send.  Do they contain unusual characters, like the kind you might see in asian emoticons?
The reason I ask is I tried putting this [DELETED] as my bit of text underneath my avatar, but kept getting exactly the same Database Error you're talking of, but when I tried using normal alphanumeric text, it worked fine.  So I think one or some of those characters were causing the problem... In fact, I wonder if this message sends... I'll find out in a second.

[EDIT]  YES that's the problem.  This very post brought up the same error, so I've deleted the emoticon I was trying to use as an example (it was this one ).

Yepp - that's it!
preview works, but not to sent it - the next problem is, that most of my posts changed to something like this - one part was the reason for to send it:

Yep, db error.

(test to see if its working)

AGA

Right, I'll look at getting UTF8 turned on.  In the meantime, speak English, it is in the rules!
