Forum Improvements

Ryan,Thanks there is a known bug with IE 4.01 unless you apply a script patch - I do not even know if this still available from MS but there is no way that I can fix it. The message saying answer is the field that you are typing in the response. I would suggest that you upgrade from IE 4.0 to either 5.5 SP2 or 6.0 as the browsing experience is much better in these versions.Thanks for the feedback David

This is also a followup test. Please ignore

Steve,It's called an un-documented feature in computer terms. I allow for the use of some HTML tags in the forum. the P and BR tags are accepted in the system meaning Paragraph and Break Row (I think). It is however a good point maybe I will change the code to pickup CRLF's and convert them to BR. This would be the easiest way to give better formatting.Please note however I do not want to many tags in use in the system so please be sparing in your usage. I will test the CRLF conversion today maybe. I am currently writing a completly new stats management system for our advertisers at the moment. Hopefully with better stats information we may be able to attract more advertisers thus helping to pay for me to spend the huge hours to make the site better.Thanks for the feedback I will post a message when I add the CRLF code to the system. David

Tim,I have been scheduled to rewrite the Trader for a few weeks now. Michelle and I have been talking about how to make it better. I will hopefully be starting this soon. At the moment I have been busy with a complete rewrite of the customer statistics systems and also a full rewrite of the online Adventure shop. I am hoping to get these two completed this week and then start work on the trader. Thanks for the feedback on the font size. I am also expecting to make it easier to use and have a better index to allow you to select for sales/wanted's that are close to your location etc. If you can think of anything specific to the Trader or any other area for that matter please feel free to post to this question or send me an email.Regards David

Thanks Rob,I have actually already got this one on the schedule however, it will be an optional button you can hit on the page (in the same area as the search/active archive buttons). I am about to publish a huge rewrite of most of the site on Wednesday night (you may not see much difference - other than speed and shop ordering however) so after I fight with the urgent issues that this update causes I will get onto it. There are a few things that are needed in the forum and I will attempt to getthem all updated ASAP.Thanks Again David

Rob,Thanks for the feedback. I will not be introducing categories to the forum enough people have told me that the do not like categories, so they will not be included.Thanks again David
