Maybe the Admins will read this and do something about it!

1). No edit button
2). urls dont appear in a new window when clicked
3). No direct access to the end pages of a big thread
4). cookies seem to only last a week, so i'm always re-loggin in.

anymore?

People who command respect and praise. When they don't get it (ie- from Raven Vegeta) they lower themselves to petty fights and immature flames. (No, I don't mean you DG )

One thing thats never been mentioned before is the fact that smilies should be smaller, because it mucks up the spacing of tet for example if I write a few lines... "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah " Then add a smiley and blah some more... "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah "

See it mucks up the spacing, kinda like adding a double space Small point but it bugs me lol

Actually - he reads most of this stuff and there will be many forum updates to come. This is only my 6th day employed by DBS and I've had (and got) an awful lot of internal things to sort out an arrange. Once done this forum will become priority.

Incase you're wondering, I'm working on DBPro Tutorials (lots of 'em), have made over 60 small site updates (across all DBS sites), new product updates, testing.. phew.. quite a bit actually. But it's all good. Back to my updates now.

Cheers,

Rich

"Mark all topics as read" - so I don't get a load of bold headings that I don't want to look in.

Well, it's nice to know that you're around, Rich! Don't work to hard!

oh and people who don't use url tags to enclose there url's with! why should i bother to copy and paste their url into a new window, when they can't be bothered to use url tags. It isn't hard!

Infact why rich can't code a regular expression to 'catch' url's and produce a nice html <a href> tag, is beyond me.

I have re-written the Java for the post box.

Means you can press a button to put tags in at the end of your writing, or (if using IE) put tags around selected text. All without errors...

Yeah Java and Javascript are very different. In websites Java needs and external program file to load, Javascript is contained within the html page. Also the coding is different and each has differentt capabilities, stregths and weaknesses
