    Forum upgraded to 4.1.4

    Some nice new editor options... take a look

    Example of a table

    X 500
    Y 400
    Z 300

    Subscripts and superscripts

    X2 + Y2

    For me (on one Vista32 machine running FF 4.x and one Win7x64 machine running FF 3.6x), all the board code icons are gone. I see the words "font" and "size", but nothing else. I can hover over the buttons and figure out what things are, but it takes a while. All I'm seeing is a series of white buttons in white rectangular blocks...

    Can you switch to a different theme? It's likely what has caused it and the theme you are using requires an update..

    So yeah. Good news is the theme issue. A different theme gets the icons to show up. Bad news is that nearly every theme needs to be updated, including EVERY THEME WITH A BLACK BACKGROUND. I'm going to go ahead and punch the baby of those theme creators...

    PS: Default, SETI.USA, and SimpleBlack are the only themes that are working for me...

    hmm, yes you are right, I always forget that they ship a favicon and it gets overlaid.

    Fixed.

    Not sure if this is me, browser, style, etc. but....

    With the forum upgraded, I noticed that the default method for posting an image from a 3rd party site is to "Retrieve remote file and reference locally". a) This seems like it would create increased stress on Bok's server, b) It works much better to hotlink to it rather than hosting it here, c) joker's mom won't let me "in" with this option ticked, d) The old [IMG] code linked to it and did not save locally.

    Methinks this might be changed? Thoughts? If you want to see what I'm referring to, try and link to a jpg online...

    The old method still works, it just has to be done manually now.

    But you know that already.

    Oh I know how to do it myself. I'm just lazy and like button clicking. All I'm saying is that I think it would be better for the boards if the default option when inserting an image would be to uncheck that box (as shown in the image below; click to embiggen)...
