Concerning current forum.

The screen does not word wrap, this is annoying.

Please fix this in some way that you can.

What browser?
Do you have a screenshot of the problem?

Yes.
Is that the size your browser is always at? Because the site has a min-width of 990px while your browser is ~640px according to your screenshot. And the word wrap is fine in the image.

Anyone else sick of the "System update has been complete?" and "Everyone must now have a fanfic!!!" message?
 
tbh, I don't visit the front page very often so I don't notice it.

Those messages trained me to stop looking at the top of the main front page.

Basically, I ignore them.

I upgraded some of my systems to Windows 10. Edge sucks royally, IE is present and buried, but still has the post box problem.

I'm using Lunascape at the moment as my primary browser, and still using Avant as my secondary browser.

It always astounds me just how far you go to avoid having software worth the slightest shit.

I bet you're the kind of person that uses Origin as your main gaming platform.

Rolls eyes...

Because Edge, Opera, and FireFox are worth less than that to me...

I want a full fledged browser with all functionality organized across the menus like it should be, not as seems to be the trend to cram everything into some idiotic single menu with umpteen billion functions jammed into it just because that is how it is on gadget level devices.

IE at least gave the option to have menus and what not and decide any screen real estate you were willing to devote to the various toolbars and sidebars by individually allowing them to be turned on or off.

Besides, both Lunascape and Avant each have three different browser engines built into them. That opens my options a lot more than Edge and FireFox. I actually think Avant slightly more feature rich, but the interface is a step behind Lunascape.

I did have to re-skin them both, as the default skin upon installation seem a bit, well, ugly to my more simplistic tastes.

I bet you're the kind of person that uses Origin as your main gaming platform.
The last Origin game I can recall playing and enjoying was Wing Commander Prophesy... which was quite some time back. I'm not really a current gamer, have not been for some time. Got disgusted wit the gaming industry over certain trends and refused to buy into them.

doth protests too much.

I was making a 'origin sucks' joke.
 
I'm trying to make a post with some kanji, and the board is not allowing it. The kanji are necessary.

Is there a workaround, or are these characters just not able to be posted?

It might be that the board is only set for UTF8 :hmm:

Seems likely, since we've had encoding issues in the past.

Would embedding pictures work?
 
I can do that, I think. Might try it later, then.

Understatement of the month.

I'll be looking into changing this once my workload is smaller.

If my workload ever gets smaller. :sweat2:

It is fairly likely only 3-byte UTF8 is supported, and not 4-byte UTF8.

Welcome to shitty old MySQL versions not supporting it, and newer versions not supporting it by default.

Please find a way to remove the *update* banners on the opening page.
 
Can we get a way to switch between the old and current post windows? Like so we can have it display in BB code again? Formatting in the new window can be a right pain in the ass when it comes to copying quotes into an edited post.
 
When you click Full Edit or New Reply, on the far right of the editor there's a button called View source, it should be toggle able.

Schema is dismayed the annoying banners are still present and it appears no effort has been given to remove them.

Yep, it mostly just makes people despise him for being an annoying brat.

Fine. If the banners aren't gone in 1 day you lose the domain.
