I don't know where to put this so I'll just put it here in the hopes that someone can move it for me later.
It has to do with < type tags and the preview button. If I go in and type out a bunch of code segments that require the use of the &tags, then press preview, the tags are replaced with what they really represent, which is a bit of a pain in the ass. The work around is to go and hit the back button if I have to make changes.
Please fix it. ----------------------- Just another pretty face....

Thats actually not accurate either.
When I clicked reply it said "All times are CST. The time now is 12:45:9 AM"
But I'm in the CST and its actually more like 2:02am. ----------------------- Admiral Japheth Cappadocious, Krath Templar

maybe it should read Offical Vast Empire time.
and for the hell of it, sometimes if you look at the topic names, it cuts the thing of a g, but sometimes it doesn't. It freaks me out

In one book I read, there was a timezone called CST, Coruscant Standard Time, and the Imperials used it widely, so mabye that is what CST really is...

Yea, i could have really cared less about the time one. I just wanted the & one fixed.
You know what'd be sweet too? A way to jump down to the first unread post in a thread.
Also under options in profile
is there a way to only show the new messages from each board since the last time I've visited, unless I click on something that will allow me to see a normal type view.
How about the ability to remove all smilies from my views. (prolly not so much). Or permanently turn off all smilies in my post (and turn off the thing on the left side).
The ability to only subscribe to certain boards, cause I honestly don't give a rats ass at the moment what happens in the army/navy boards, so why waste the queries/downloading of stuff i'm not going to view. Again the option to view all boards if i so desire.
The ability to see how a message was edited on the ComNet. (Might cause some problems. But might want to make it available for the admins ;-P)
Messaging system. for private messages. Although will need to place limitations on this.
1) messages only last for so long
2) inbox can only contain so many messages
3) messages can only be a certain size
4) please display the number of private messages i have on the main page.
While I'm at the main page, can we do something about the information that is shown on the first page?
Can i limit the topics on the front page to only contain certain topics. Say, i'm only interested in announcements about the VEEC and about the VE as a whole, (pay day). Star Wars news or new games don't interest me as much.
If there are no competitions, don't show the competition tab on the side.
Be able to select which tabs are shown on the right and left sides. With new tabs being defaulted to on. (i.e. only store if I don't want to see it.)
Show me information about the boards that I subscribe to on the right pane with a means of jumping straight to those if there are new posts.
Show avatars of the posters of new information.
At the moment it's a lot of text and nothing really draws me in, but since I can't do graphics, i'm going to pretend i didn't say that.
Out of curiosity how many visits per day?
Comment box ;-P

No I mean in this view right here. with a link at the top at the page that says, "jump to first unread post", and then clicking on that would say, take me to the post with the date/time of my last visit/post.

The only thing i see is to see the new posts for the entire day.
I don't care about what threads are posted on. I want to open a thread, and jump straight to the first post i've not read.

Ok. Finally got some time to look into this. I was able to get it working with the & sign now. Let me know if you have any other problems.
I'll just add some comments to a few of the ideas in your message Kip.
- Turning off smilies for people is a good idea...will have to get that implemented sometime
- Subscriptions to boards would be a nice feature...will probably have to add that as well. The way you had explained it gave me a few more ideas as well.
- Messages that have been edited are currently stored in the db in case we need to look at them...but that is mainly for admins.
- Private message system would also be nice. I had asked the members if they would like this feature implemented and no one seemed to jump out of their seats.
- As for visits per day, we're getting around 180-200 on just the vastempire.com domain. On the comnet, we get around 300. ----------------------- Grand Moff Kadann, Dark Lord

I'd just like to move threads to the appropriate ComNet. And maybe an option to fine the foolish mortal who posted in the wrong place.
And hey, maybe an option to fine a person when an admin deletes one of their silly/inappropriate/off-topic threads and posts.
