I've lost my curiosity over new forum settings..oh dear.

This is not a signature.
You did not see this.
It was all a dream.
You will not tell anyone about this.

Now go and read this signature again.

So, you actually bothered to scroll down, eh? If you're that bored, you might as well take a look at the links above.

actually, the smrrt thing to do for the admins would be to make it the default setting.

Why? Is it really so hard that you can't go into your own profile and change it yourself?

No offence, but right now there are other priorities. Don't be so bloody lazy :)

I think it's in your best interest, unless you want that question to be as common as "when's freespace 3 coming out" was at it's peak.

Perhaps, but as I say it's not really top of the pile of things to do at the moment. Of course we're looking at refining.. well.. everything as much as we can. But at the moment we're trying to sort out server load times, access.. that kind of thing.

From what I understand, we tried several different ways of doing it and none of them worked.  We don't have time to figure out why until we get the higher priority problems fixed.

You'd need to change like 1 thing through phpMyAdmin.

Go into the database, find wherever the **** the user options are stored (I'm guessing users) and change the default value for new entries.

Far as I know, it doesn't take anything from any HTML forms at sign-up, so it's just using the default value set for that field in the database.

And if you really wanted to put things right, you could redo the entire field and set it to the new default value. Just delete the field and recreate it with the new default value. Then it'll change everyones and no-one will have to *****.

Yup, that's basically what we did with everyone's quick-reply box show/don't show setting.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
