I didn't notice too much difference with changing the scaling font size thing, it seems everything BUT the forum got its text bigger. But no biggie, I'll get used to it. :)

I can't scroll down the page in Firefox. How do you disable the Iframe for siggies?

You can't, just avoid hovering over the sig area.

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: Welcome to HLP 3.0!
A serious question though... how are people going to find their way here? The gamespy site just says NOT FOUND and if people didn't know that this was coming (I mean, I assume that there were one or two...) then they might not find their way to the new domain, yeah?

Interesting that you should mention that. 3dap.com/hlp redirects to dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/hlp; we have that redirecting to www.hard-light.net. dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums are redirecting to www.hard-light.net/forums - I just tested that out then. Which domain gives you "not found"? We'll look into it.

Hmmm. The forum is a bit broken in Firefox. I'd have thought that you'd be certain to make sure it works in FF properly O_o

Virtually all the admins (Styxx, Sandwich and I at least) use Firefox. What problems are you having exactly? Take a screenshot and email me if you can (setekh at gmail dot com).

That is the best solution. Realistically, anything more than about 5 lines of text is too much.

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: Welcome to HLP 3.0!
Talking of sigs, is it possible to kill sig images? That was a great feature (or rather lack-of-feature) of the old HLP, and I've noticed one or two popping up already much to my dismay....
Any fool can pull a trigger...

Also, setting the max sig length to 2000 characters is a bit high. I'd recommend setting it to 300-500.

Ah now don't get fascist on it. You guys can get carried away about these things.

Yeah, we will. Give us some time to get around to all of it. :yes:

300 is the limit at WS, and there are no problems there. 300 fits quite a bit.

Awesome that you guys don't have to rely on Gamespy for hosting anymore.  Me likes :yes:

Hrm.  A popup appears when I use quote (it says "retrieving quote").  Just something interesting I noticed.

That's standard behavior in SMF.

So can you describe what's your exact problem, Chrono? Is it with the disappearing header or something else?

:wtf:

I agree. :wtf:
