It's fixed in the update coming this weekend. It also works properly in IE6/IE7 now.
It's fixed in the update coming this weekend. It also works properly in IE6/IE7 now.
Undo and redo are greyed out by default until you actually do something to undo/redo.
The link button requires you to highlight text before you can use it.
I have a 42" 1080p Panasonic plasma from their previous generation, and it's fantastic. Reviews of the current gen are even better because they finally got the contrast to where it needs to be to dethrone CRT. The one you've selected is certainly a great choice.
However, at the price of that TV, you're venturing into front projector land. Having owned many front projectors, I can tell you that it's definitely the way to go for true theater-like entertainment. Would his room allow for a projector?
For the speakers, I've owned plenty of those also. My favorites in your price range are Ascend Acoustics. Their speakers are ridiculously accurate and well-built at a really good price, although they do have a relatively new high-end model called the Sierra-1 that costs a bit more. You can use the system calculator on their site to put a package together and add up the cost. I recommend the following:
CMT-340 SE for L/R/C
CBM-170 SE x 4 for the surrounds
For the subwoofer, take a look at SVS. Really cool cylindrical subs.
Just tested the editor on Windows (IE6/IE7/FF3) and Mac (Safari/FF3), and don't see any issues.
Any further details to help me track down the problem?
Sorry for the delay. The pending update has multiple longstanding IE6 layout issues corrected. I was going to post it last weekend, but I got sidetracked with some other stuff. It should go up by Sunday.

The best reason why episode 1 is the best of the prequel trilogy is not in terms of content, But that it was actually shot on 35mm motion picture film.
I am so sick of reading this crap. It doesn't matter what medium a movie is shot on. Did you ever think for one moment that maybe they liked it better because of its content? It doesn't matter if a movie is shot 100% digitally or not. It's the story that counts and the above posters find the story of TPM (aside from midichlorians and the virgin birth) to be the best of the 3. It has NOTHING to do with it being shot on 35mm.
Did you actually read the original post? Hint:

They "filmed" this movie with actual "film," which I think helped blend the CGI work in with the real life work making it look more natrual.
Films are a visual medium. The way they look says something about what they are.
TPM looks like film. AOTC and ROTS look like Halo--and I never forgot that for one second while watching them.
The hosting service seems to be having problems at the moment. It's not the forum software.
My girlfriend and I went to see it last weekend with two other couples. The girls agreed that it was just about the cutest movie ever. I thought it was fantastic; some of the CG approached reality and the robots were really endearing. Pixar managed to give every robot its own unique personality despite nearly zero spoken dialog.
Highly recommended.

the second is that in Firefox the spell checker is now disabled by default until you manually activate it, when it was fine before. If this one isn't a bug is there any way you can switch it back to being on by default again please?
Not sure why this is, and I'm also not sure if there's any way I can control this.
Surprise, surprise. I found a setting in the editor that controls this behavior. It'll be fixed in the next update.
I think I see what you mean. The unexpected introduction of the advanced editor means some bugs in the code parsing slipped through.
I have an update planned for this weekend that should correct this problem.
I've never seen the first issue, though I don't post nearly as often as some of you :) I'll check the TinyMCE developer forum and see if anyone else has reported this.
Regarding your second request, you can still use forum tags even with the advanced editor in place. Feel free to build your nested quotes manually if the editor makes it difficult to accomplish exactly what you want. I also found some code that would allow users to toggle the editor on and off; I'll take a look at implementing it.
Thanks. Fixed it today and will roll it out in the next update.
I'll look into it. I think I know what it is. Thanks.
Ha. No problem.
I'm working on this. It's tough because it means recoding form button layouts completely (IE6 apparently doesn't like floated divs) and it affects a lot of pages. Should have something soon.
Good news for those of you who asked for this feature...it's just about done. I now have a new beta working that only marks topics as unread when they've been updated since your last session. Once your session ends, all topics are marked as read.
As I said in my previous post, I'll probably implement a user setting that allows you to select which method you want (topics marked as read at session end or topics always marked unread until you've read them).
Still working on the "Mark forum as read" thing. You'll probably see it in the same update when it happens.
We do have spoiler tags...
[ spoiler ] spoiler text [ /spoiler ]
...without the spaces, obviously.
The link issue should be fixed. It was a configuration setting for the text editor that needed to be adjusted. All links moving forward should work properly now, but links created up to this point will still be broken.
Ha, okay. The link I just posted above is wrong (it has "topic.cfm/topic.cfm/" in it twice). And that's definitely not what it was when I copied and pasted it. I'll have to look into that. Weird.

Some things that are affecting me are:
A) e-mail notifications sometimes sending me as far as two pages back when it's supposed to go to the latest post
E-mail subscription updates don't send you to the latest post; they send you to the exact post that the update is notifying you about. If you click on a subscription update link and newer posts have been made since that e-mail was sent, you'll be sent to the older post. Do you have an example of an e-mail you've received that doesn't send you to the right post?
B) when people add links in their posts, it just plain won't work sometimes. It sends me to an error page which includes the following message: "File not found: /topic.cfm" Even when I copy and paste the link in another window, I get the same error page.
Users create the links, so if they copy and paste the wrong link, it'll be broken. Can I see an example? I've seen a few already that were wrong, but I don't see any links generated by the software itself that are broken.
C) when I want to quote someone, it wouldn't let me type in the white area, so I hit enter (another kettle of fish; see D) and it added what I wrote in a separate quote box.
Hit the quote button and it should remove the quote box. I'll see if I can add an extra line after quote boxes.
D) Is it supposed to go down two lines when I hit enter to try and got to the one immediately below it?
Yes. The text editor functions like a modern word processor, which inserts two lines when you hit enter, or a single line if you hold shift while hitting enter (see bkev's post above).
And a new one: I've gotten a few redundant e-mail notifications of late, even hours apart. And they'll sometimes show up below older messages in my inbox. Very odd. :p
Can you forward them to me? (jay at originaltrilogy dot com). Are you sure they're redundant? I looked at your settings, and you have the system sending you e-mails for every new post instead of just once until you view the topic. If the same user posts twice, you'll get multiple e-mails that look the same except for the post number. You can change that in your preferences so you'll only receive one e-mail update until you view the topic again.
Edit: AT&T (BellSouth) appears to have started blocking some messages. Yahoo seems to have stopped blocking.
For some reason, Yahoo has flagged ot.com for "unusual" e-mail activity and is deferring all messages sent from our mail server. I'm getting a lot of bounced e-mails from users subscribed to various forum topics. The topic notification system is working fine; it's Yahoo that's sitting on our e-mails and not passing them on to you.
The only solution I can suggest is to change your e-mail address to something else until Yahoo stops blocking our mail. Just a warning: changing your e-mail address will cause the forum to automatically log you out and send you a new password.
I'm pretty sure this is going to be the best film of the summer. While I didn't manage to catch Iron Man, I did see The Incredible Hulk last weekend and walked away unimpressed. Great special effects with zero story and zero real drama just don't cut it. I've heard nothing but good things about Iron Man though.
I haven't seen Batman Begins since it was in the theater, so I'll be gearing up for the sequel by purchasing the Blu-ray release. Can't wait.

Just noticed a couple of things that may be bugs (well i'm pretty sure the first one is but the second may be the new script ). When adding a link from the button on the reply window it only ever shows the full link and not the title you have added for it. So i still have to copy and paste the code from the help section still
The title field isn't the text of the link. To create a link, it's like using a word processor. Type the text first, highlight it with your mouse, and then click the link button. When the window opens, enter the URL into the URL field. The title field is for filling out the title attribute of the HTML tag, which is a tag that browsers and screen readers utilize for tooltips and people with disabilities.
the second is that in Firefox the spell checker is now disabled by default until you manually activate it, when it was fine before. If this one isn't a bug is there any way you can switch it back to being on by default again please?
Not sure why this is, and I'm also not sure if there's any way I can control this.
Also something else happened while i was writing a post. The last sentence suddenly changed colour from white to grey. I tried editing it a few times and managed to get the last sentence back to white but now i've come back to the thread its reverted back to grey.
here:
Looks like you copied and pasted the person's username from a quote box, which would cause the trailing text to be gray as you type it.
This new editor definitely has its quirks. There are other editors out there, so I'm still evaluating whether or not this is the one to go with. They all seem to have issues of some kind or another.
The primary reason I capped it at 200 is because I wasn't sure how quickly the database would fill up with the new software. Once it went live, the database got really bloated really fast and kept running out of space. The culprit turned out to be the search engine, so I rewrote how that works, almost completely removing the data bloat and increasing its speed in the process.
I just bumped the PM limit to 500 because I see no reason to cap it any longer at such a low amount. Hope that's enough for a while.
I also just thought of a new feature to implement: full text search of your PM box. Sound useful?
Let me guess...IE6?
I see this issue randomly in my IE6 testing. I'm working on a fix.
A fix for this has been implemented. Any topics that have incorrect reply counts will correct themselves as soon as someone posts a reply.
