Not quite. I've been playing around with it at XiBase here and there, but not to this degree. I installed it over there, converted from the old board, and installed a couple of styles and tweaked some colors. Over here I've been tinkering all over the place.

I blame XenForo for being so damned easy to customize. Much of this stuff is just CSS, which is all the change to the smilies box required. (change a width from 156px to auto)

The smilies menu should now extend all the way to the right edge of the window when it pops up. :beerbang:

There we go. I have also made them stand out more when there are unread posts (highlighted background), so as to avoid the "sticky blindness" effect that the designer claimed was the reason they were bunched together with the rest of the threads.

I don't know if that's on our side or yours. Was it only happening on posting, or did the error pop up while trying other functions as well? I have further adjusted the javascript loading, it should now cache properly, and not delay the page at all. If it's still slow, then, well, that wasn't...

Conversations are limited to you and whoever you invite to it. That "Start a Conversation" link only invites that one person; you have to specifically type other people's names into the box in order for anyone else but you and them to see it. They're basically like threads, but private instead...

How bout now? I've installed an addon to the forums that moves javascript loading to the end of the page instead of the start of the page

Well, IE8 doesn't exhibit the problem for me (as much? hard to tell whether it's this problem, or if IE8 on the computer I'm using is just dog slow), but your mileage may vary. I recommend upgrading to IE8 at the very least in any case, due to the lack of security fixes in IE7.

I'm investigating this as we speak If you wouldn't mind, let me know what version of browser (Help -> About) you're using and whether or not your pages load slowly I am using Firefox 9.0.1 and I get slow page loads on threads. I think it has something to do with the javascript, so I'm trying...

I have installed an addon that lets us show online indicators in the thread. I've given them a little ribbon style kind of like the new post indicator ribbons that show up on the right side of the post. It shows "Online" in a ribbon just below the avatar now. I have yet to find an addon that...

Fortunately, there is a "Top" link at the bottom right corner of every page - across from the style chooser

Post numbers don't change, but the way the forum links to each post (in the date/time, or in the post number just to the left of the like button) is by linking to the page of the thread that it's on, so that the spider isn't constantly crawling another link for each post. That would waste a...

I've been reading about it a bit more. Apparently according to this thread - http://xenforo.com/community/threads/posts-per-page.943/ - it is a design decision (on purpose) for it to be a system-wide setting, for usability purposes and for search engine purposes. Having different posts-per-page...

Sorry about that. There is a guided tour that I wrote to try and run through all of the new stuff: http://racing-forums.com/pages/help/ Let me know if there's anything you want to know that I didn't cover there. :beerbang:

Kinda had to expect that to happen. It's too long of a race to keep the packs up the whole way through. How are some of these guys -280 laps but still not out? Just keeping on running it in case everybody in front of them crashes and burns?

I just merged the thread from the NASCAR Chat section into here, since this one's pretty hopping Hope I'm doin it rite :owquitit:

They probably don't have enough viewers overnight to convince the sponsors to keep the broadcast going the whole 24 hours on Speed. All about money.

I've just made a huuuuuuge update to the Posting section of the Guided Tour. See from the third paragraph of "Controls and Options" on down to the end. Let me know if that helps explain how to work the controls. Some of them are greyed out if they don't apply - the outdent button is greyed out...

Currently, this is only a system-wide setting. I am not sure whether XenForo plans on implementing a per-user setting or not. In any case, I've just upped it from 20 to 40. How much do y'all think is a good number of posts to load per page?
