devil tongue

I am heading up a project to re-write some of the code for the forums that generates the banners and the content in the "ad space" at the top of the page. The code is nearly complete, and I have implemented it here on the RMFF board as one of the final tests before the code is integrated into the entire site.

What you should notice immediately is the Google search box at the top of the page, as well as not one, but two drop down navigation menus. You may have noticed these things on other boards. The Google search boxes were added earlier this year because the search function built into the forum hardly ever works. Try it out!!!

Please post in this thread if you find any bugs or if something isn't working like it normally should.

Yes, they are doing that in Internet Explorer browsers at the moment. Since Microsoft is an evil company that refuses to make their browsers render like every other browser on the internet, programmers like me have to add extra code to make things display correctly. GRRRRR! angry

I haven't done that yet. tongue


Edit: There's a bug in the forum search that I will be fixing momentarily.

Edit2: Forum search is fixed. Give it a go!

And yes, in the reply screen is a picture from the Kempe Charity premiere... Ah, the memories!

That pic was supposed to be there ever since this banner was created. For some reason, it wasn't.

For you guys who don't see any difference at all, try holding down shift and clicking refresh.

A lot of people still had problems, because for whatever reasons, their systems would timeout on the broken ad code. It worked fine on all my systems at home and work, but I had to edit the HOSTS file on my laptop so I could get in.
