Top postbit header problem.
 

Hi Mods....Is there a problem with the site?

I have my options set to left postbit header so the users name and avatar appear to the left of all posts, however I now find the forum has defaulted to top postbit header and clearing my cookies has not solved the problem.

Any ideas as to what's causing this?

Regards, Gomez.

I changed up the templates this morning, but I double-checked this before. I will give it a check again, thanks!

I'm having the same problem.

Uggh, having same problem on blue skin.

Norton has a cookie blocker and ad blocker. if i leave that on i cannot see most pics or banner ads.

Hetz, I think it's a problem on oivar as well...although I don't use that skin I just tried it and found it was the same.

i dont see any sig's now ?

Me either. Sigs gone.

Sigs are not gone! Look at the bottom of the Quick Reply where it says "Show your signature"

Post bits still fudged up for me. Please to be fixing!

I'm with you baby! Hetz, any news on whats happening with this bug? All this extra wheel work on the mouse is wearing me out!

Gomez!

I'm not sure what's going on. I have removed and re-added the option and edited my files accordingly. Something is amiss and I'm still working with it! :D

I'm just amazed it's not giving everyone the shits!

Just on the sig problem HeTz.....The "show your sig" box tick used to stay enabled....now we have to enable the tick option every post if we want to have sigs shown. That's what the guys are complaining about....

Thank's for your efforts to make a great site greater.

Yea - Sigs are disabled on replies by default now. It's one of the changes Ryan wanted to see ... so I implemented it. It reduces board clutter.

i cant seem to make the postbit headers to move back left. i have checked in mu user cp and clicked it just to make sure i have it selected correctly but it doesnt change anything. they are still at the top.

Yeah Zoom, that's the reason for this thread and it's the problem HeTz is working on. Ironically, the sigs are disabled to reduce clutter but this top postbit snag doubles the size of a short post!

Regards, Gomez.

right but it had been talking mostly about the sigs and i just wanted to make sure

On the Relicnews.com forums, we've got a hack in place that limits signatures from a user to once per page. That way, the "Show your signature" bit can remain checked, but it only shows up once.

i like that

but the show sig box only appears in the quick response mode.. or am i missing it ?

its in the advanced also near the bottom thew

If you see a sig that is over 6 lines of regular text, let a mod know. It's a violation of the forum rules.

Ahh ok thanks

There's hacks out there that will limit the size of signature spaces.

Well, it would be REALLY easy to count the number of character returns in a sig. I could write it myself with a simple count(explode($sig,"\n")), but the real problem comes to light when people type 6 full lines of text without character returns. If there is nothing to count, there is no way of knowing. You could take the average width of a character in whatever font is used on the forum, then make sure that the characters didn't run over six lines based on the width of the forum. The problem with that is that the width of RX8Club is dynamic based on how big the users browser is. If you drag-resize your window, you'll see what I mean.

You could limit to bytes, but again, you would not be able to tell the number of carriage returns.

It would take 1) average font width, 2) a pre-determined page width, and 3) a split+count to determine this.

It's easier for mods to look at it with their eyes, which are connected to a super-smart pattern-recognizing brain to determine if sigs are "legal." Unfortunately, I don't think we can create this sort of system with PHP...

Robertdot, I'll try and get you the information for what we used for that over at the relicnews.com forums. It's a CSS chunk of code that turns the signature into a DIV or some such.
