Well, I have discovered it is not stock
layout. Someone has decided to
"customize" it so that I am notified about
private messages via my browser status
bar. This only works in ie, as far as I
can tell, and is not necessary because the
standard location of my pm status is still
where it normally is, in the upper left
corner of the header, below thje logo.
The back button does work when using
firefox browser, but I prefer ie. The
stock forum software works the same on all
browsers, with only minor graphical
differences. You have to mess with the
coding to break it like this. It's too
bad because there are a lot of very good
"hacks" made for the software that add
many nice functions and design
enhancements and there is great support
for them online to eliminate any
problems.
After a day, i'm wondering if an admin or
moderator will even reply to this.
oh yeah, turning html on doesn't help if
the software doesn't preserve text
formatting. Posting images is chancy at
best because of the same reason.
