Hrm. A popup appears when I use quote (it says "retrieving quote"). Just something interesting I noticed.
Yes, and? It puts the text you want into the quick-reply box. What's your point?
So can you describe what's your exact problem, Chrono? Is it with the disappearing header or something else?
Most notable is that the striping pattern is missing from Firefox. In Deer Park Beta (now 1.5 beta) the header graphic is completely missing. Perhaps it's been fixed now in 1.5 beta 2. I'll have to check later.
Nonetheless, it's still rendering a bit funny in normal Firefox.
Obviously it's not a serious problem, but I thought you guys might want to be alerted to it.
The lack of striping in Firefox (or, rather, the presence of striping in IE) is due to IE's inability to handle transparent or partially-transparent PNGs. So we make concessions. Firefox gets the smooth half-transparent PNG, IE's stuck with the all-or-nothing striped GIF.
This doesn't quite work unfortunately and it's a global setting that affects everything anyway. It causes some things to get misaligned and at least on my laptop, has a weird effect on IE and Firefox, causing all website images to look pixellated.
Misaligned? Website images being pixelated?? Neither IE nor Firefox resize images regardless of what font-size or screen DPI resolution you have... one pixel equals one pixel to them. Can you explain your problem better?
...I will, however, point fingers.
*Points at Sanger*
And you'd better have fixed the [colour] tags...[/colour]
What's this? Three days warning and no fixage? Not on fellows, not on at all!
"Sanger"?
And the colour tag cannot be "fixed", for two reasons: One, it's not broken. It's spelt properly, because we're on International English here on the Internet. Two, we cannot add a "colour" tag in SMF. Get over it. You don't have to type it in anyway.
By the way, the reason the header graphic doesn't work in Firefox is because the javascript that displays the google ads in the header doesn't work in Firefox. The browser won't render the background of an empty table cell (it's empty without the google ads), so the header image disappears.
You can verify this by putting some random text inside the header cell. If you put some text in, the header will suddenly reappear.

Done - thanks dude.
Please do tell me the nested text can be changed.
What, the fact that the text gets smaller? That's on purpose, and I see no reason to change it. There's no reason to leave 5 levels of quotes in your posts; learn to properly format a quote and reply.
b) a different background colour between the post itself and the left part with the nickname. This was more eyefriendly IMO
c) Like already mentioned, could you fix the [Color] and [Colour] stuff ? It would save me reworking some sticky posts
b) Personally, I'd say "No" outright.
c) Unless these posts you mention were made since the relaunch, then you're wrong. Styxx wrote an (incredibly awesome) script that parsed through ALL the imported posts and changed "colour" tags to "color" tags. No reworking should be needed. And like I wrote above, we can't add a "colour" tag. Just not possible.
And the new forum icons seriously need some ALT text. Some of them look almost identical.
Ummm... and why is there an ad for spyware at the bottom of each page?
ALT text - agreed, but I dunno if it's feasable. I'll look into it. At some point. Maybe.
And as for the spyware (
*glares*), I'd remove the image if I could, but the stats we get through it are more valuable to us than the pain it gives.
What would be REALLY nice would be if there was a higher ratio of content to cruft. The amount of icons and buttons and useless information attached to every single post has finally spiralled out of control with this latest iteration of the forums.
This is how forums should be:

Nice and clean. None of this "kitchen sink" approach. Only the commonly-used functions included in the layout.
I really shouldn't post when I'm this tired. It makes me short-tempered. Anyway, if you don't like it, make yer own forum.
Also, for some reason, the Quick Reply box keeps throwing me out to the main forum whenever I make a post instead of showing the new post in the topic; is this what it's intended to do?
That's a setting in your profile. I recommend to EVERYONE:
Look through your personal profile settings and adjust where needed. Thank you.
