I've updated all the backend templates to a more standards compliant version. Virtually every page is effected by this and I didn't test every one, so I'm sure stuff is messed up. Some of the pages will actually validate against the W3 validator now, but the real goal is to clean up stray tags. At some point the whole site will validate, but I don't really care all that much about it... In the process, new code has been uploaded for:

There's a problem with Recent Threads. I would attach a picture, but I can't; see below. Many submit-type things time out in Opera, such as General Settings, sending private messages, or attaching a file. Some of these happen with other browsers as well. -- |

Maybe they can, maybe they cannot? Regarding those tags, they are obviously working as intended. |

I intend bold to be bold and italics to be italics, so obviously they are not working as intended. Marcello |

That's great (I supose that if a thread is locked, it's not possible to bump it... that wouldn't be good:)) -- |

Oh, one thing that's been nagging me ... if you click the lightbulb in a thread that just cross page boundaries (i.e. your next unread post is the first post on a new page), you get taken to the page before the new post and have to click the next thread number at the bottom before you get to the post you actually want. Could this be remedied? -- |

If its not too much hastle, I may send you to the next page automatically, but include the previous post at the top. PS: I'm unable to connect to the server that you posted the image on. |

I made a few tweaks ... is it any different now? It is an Opera browser bug that must have been recently introduced. Basically, it's just a table: <table width="100%"><tr><td width="16">X</td><td>Title</td><td>Board</td></tr></table> There's no reason for it to be doing that... |

It would make more sense if the board name had its own column. |

Hmm... I seem to remember a forum section called "Allegro.cc Comments" -- |

Submitting ideas doesnt' do anything anyway - our Benevolent Leader is too busy to implement anything anyway, and when he does, it's always what he wants anyway. -- |

Quote: It would make more sense if the board name had its own column The problem with that, though, is that it messes up the color scheme. I did it that way originally, but it was very disorienting. There's an alternate style here that I'm working on.

Apart from the fact that the alternate style has the Opera 7.21 bug mentioned above, I like it. -- |

Hmm... the tiny text gets so hard to read on my screen in the alternate style, so I'll have to vote for the classic style -- |
