A list of features in this new version which users would be interested in:
<ul type="square">[*]Added user ratings.
[*]Added topic ratings.
[*]The Spanish, Dutch, French, Swedish, and Big 5 translations have been updated.
[*]All SQL queries have been tuned or optimized. There are far fewer queries now.
[*]Moved post icons from a drop down to a radio button style so a user can see what icon they are selecting.
[*]Added quick UBBCodeâ„¢ and Graemlins buttons to the post form.
[*]Added moderator display to postlist,showflat,showthreaded.
[*]Added feature to upload User Avatars. Please note that the file requirements are 80x80 and no greater than 20k. Your old avatar was probably sized to 75x65, and will need to change. You can still specify an external URL to your image too.
[*]UBBCodeâ„¢ for colors has changed. If you're using colors in your signature, you will have to update the code. Refer to the FAQ for new syntax.
[/list]

Edit: added note for colors.

Added border=0 to image markup.

I agree on the column widths, and I'll look into organising their layout a little better. The previous version of UBB.threads allowed for the showing of moderators on the main index as an option, but this time they've hardcoded it in (i.e. removed the option!) and I don't know why /versus/images/icons/frown.gif I think I'll hack it myself.

In general, expect a few more cosmetic changes.

the addition of the rating column makes almost all subject headers spill over into the 2nd line... so users have to scroll down more to view the same number of threads.

You bring up a point I've been wanting to address.

On the subject of subject headers, it would be appreciated if people used simple yet specific subject headers for their posts. In general, keep it simple, specific, leave out useless characters (especially for formatting -, ~, !!!, etc) and avoid using command notation (d/b+K+G ~ f+P+K, etc) where possible.

Re: 0 byte documents

Unless you can provide details to reproduce the problem then I'm afraid I can't really help.

And you can't have my Mom. She's taken.

New markup has been added. Surround the markup code with [ ]'s. The markup code is case sensitive.

<font color="orange">Buttons</font color>
P =
K =
G =

<font color="orange">Directions</font color>
db =
d =
df =
bk = (note: can't use [ b ] because it's the markup used for Bold formatting.
f =
ub =
u =
uf =
DB =
D =
DF =
B =
F =
UB =
U =
UF =

Note the plus sign is just plain text.

<font color="orange">Some Examples</font color>
Akira's SPoD: +++
Akira's DLC: ++
Kage Combo: - - +

I'll add the new Command markup to the instant code menus for convenience soon.

Edit: testing edit. works ok

What don't you get about the rating system? Would you go see a movie that was rated at 1 star or 5? You can use the rating system to as a means of feedback. I'm not sure how effective this will be in the long run, or if it's vulnerable to abuse, but we'll see how it goes.

Myke - Everytime I exit the site and comeback I am not signed in, I have to sign in every time I come here, clicking on "Remember me on each visit" doesn't work.

Yeah, I've noticed this too. I'll look into it soon. Sorry for any inconvenience in the meantime.

Instant Commands are now available when composing/editing posts.

Just a reminder to use plain text for the plus sign. For simplicity, don't use commas between commands and only use plus signs for simultaneous button presses.

++ should be +
,,+P should be
etc

Thanks for highlighting the problem Mike, I've noticed this as well, and will add it to the list of things to look at shortly.
