honestly i can live without smilies and such but i know the board likes to keep spoilers under wraps so posting without that feature is tough.

thanks again.

If you'd rather not type them, for your convenience just click "Select" (though you might have to highlight the old-fashioned way if using Explorer), then copy and paste the tags from below:

Code: [Select]

Other tags are listed in the Help section via a link called "Basic bulletin board codes"; the page opens in a separate tab if your browser has that capability.

I haven't gotten to the bottom of what's going on with IE and the BBC/Smileys buttons on the post form - but I have discovered something that makes the situation even stranger: all the smileys on the popup window (when you click the "more" link) DO work in IE. Apparently whatever is going on has to do specifically with the posting page and/or the BBC/Smileys routine on the posting page because otherwise the smileys on the popup window wouldn't work either.

Don't ask me how I did it, but the problem with the BBC/Smileys buttons and IE seems to be fixed. I mean I know what I did - but I have no idea why what I did fixed the problem. But then, I have no idea what caused the problem in the first place, so...

I'm just glad everything seems to work.

I am LOVING the aspect of the theme that includes screen captures from various episodes of the original series that ran during January. Love the shot of Grayson flipping out, and Liz clutching that deliciously tacky shopping bag where she's packin' that pistol agonizing whether or not to shoot Julia.

Just great stuff!!!

cheers, GothEEEK

Excellent eye, Gothick.

I was wondering if anyone would realize that all the captures in that background are from eps that originally ran in January of the various years DS was on. Actually, I picked two captures from each year and tried to get as many different actors in as possible within the limitations of what would show up well as part of the background.

The one for hoDS is a delight as well... you chose two of my favorite images of Julia and Liz for it... I gather that this one will also change monthly as well.

cheers, G.

I meant to get into all this on Saturday - but IE decided to have a problem with the BBC/Smileys buttons, so my explanation was delayed until today.

As Gothick has already surmised, the original series background is made up of captures taken from eps that originally ran in January. However, all the backgrounds are January themed in one way or another. The original movies background is made up of January captures taken from the Movies Quotes Slideshow, the '91 series background is made up of January captures taken from the '91 DS Series Slideshow, and the original series background is specifically made up of captures taken from both the 1990 Calendar Of Quotes Slideshow and what I like to think of as the This Date In DS History Slideshow (though we've never called it that). And, yes - each month there will be a new background in each category. But for now, here are the three current backgrounds:

The original series:

The original movies (currently featuring hods - will switch to NoDS in July):

And the '91 series:

And along with the backgrounds comes forum logos for each:

And the '91 series:

And as was always the case with our previous theme, if your browser isn't showing these new backgrounds and logos, then you need to clear your browser's cache.

I'm also working on a fourth set. And if it turns out as well as I'm hoping, it will probably debut soon...

Another photo theme for Jan.?? I am intrigued!

It is always a delight to see your screenshots showing how these appear on your own computer. I can only get part of the "marginalia" as I could the side-strips to show on both my office and home computers. I know if I changed the settings I could make it work but I don't have the patience to fuss with the settings...

cheers,

G.

i havent' been on here for awhle. but i do love the new look. Blue is my favorite color. well that & Black, it's a bit of a tie really. but it still looks good. some of the sites i belong to when they do their upgrades the systems & the look pretty much look the same. which isn't how any site should look. i love how this isn't like that at all. great job.

If your browser cooperated, you're already aware that last night the backgrounds changed for February:

I miss my profile page the way it used to be.

Will it ever come back?

I like the post times graph and I especially like being able to see all of my posts in one place. My profile page only shows a page where I can modify my profile. I can't see my profile page the way other members see it.

Is it just on my computer or is everyone seeing their profile page this way?

Otherwise, I love the new format!

EmeraldRose · « **Reply #44 on:** February 05, 2012, 09:51:38 PM »

I was going to modify my last post, but I waited too long. I meant to say I miss the "statistics page" instead of "the graph page with my post times". All I see is a page where I can modify my profile. The other pages don't appear there. Is there a problem with it that will be fixed? I miss my old profile pages!

I can see all those things on OTHER MEMBER'S PROFILE PAGES!
