The reply link from live view always points to &page=1, regardless of what page the post is on.

Everyone's does that. Leads to a page that says, "Journal does not exist."

Not for me it doesn't. He's the only one i've found so far that does. There is no link to it for everyone else that doesn't have a journal (or if it's set to private).

Thank you again to all who helped, and congratulations to Spoonless, who won the 3 month premium voucher! Yay!

Forums page on FFXI skin is having a weird issue where certain forums aren't colored every other line. It's hard to look at. I noticed it with Aion, DAoC, Eve, EQ, EQII, EQOA... And then everything in between FFXI and WOW. http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html

Aha! They should fix it on the FFXI skin, it's really awkward looking.

I have a problem where I can't disable Daylight Savings Time in the forums, because I live in an area where we do not use Daylught Savings Time, so forum times all appear incorrectly, one hour more than they really are.

Here is a link to the post I made about this.

Anyway this can be fixed?

Thank you.

They're not "bad ads" in the sense that they violate some terms. The're bad in that they lock up firefox 2.0.0.12 running on any of a variety of *nix systems. I can't post a screenshot becuase my browser can't load the ads. I'm not even sure if it's the actual ad content (since the bar says "loading data from X" where "X" varies), or if there's something in your banner script that is broken.

For about the last 3 hours every single time I try to load the main alla page, firefox locks up and I have to kill it. It's not cookies or cache. I just checked using a different user profile that has never loaded alla before. It's entirely possible it has nothing to do with ads at all, it just always seems to be some kind of data load that stops the page from loading. I just tried it again, and nothing loads except the links on the left, and it's sitting at "transferring data from pubads.g.doubledclick.net". The time before it got stuck on a different load message.

Did you guys kick a hamster or something?

Threads can be created with titles that don't display at all. This technically falls into a larger category of bugs, issues, and the like that can be exploited by judicious usage of Unicode, most of which aren't terribly relevant and have skipped my mind.

EDIT: Simplest fix that doesn't require filtering out non-printing characters (which is understandably going to slow things down) would be to just make the icon next to the thread (you know, the one that indicates "hot" threads) jump to the first post in the thread as well. I was actually kind of surprised that it didn't.

SECOND EDIT: It also causes the line that would normally read "Allakhazam's Forums > (forum group) > (forum name) > (thread name)", with the first three having links, to not only not have a link to the thread (which is normal), but it doesn't even have a link to the forum anymore (which is not).

COMMENT ON THE SECOND EDIT: Editing posts drops the forum group and forum name from that line while you're editing the post, which I don't believe is intended either, and at any rate is also annoying.

It's annoying, which is more important.

Perhaps, but I found one other problem that it exposed, and there's a second issue that's sort of related to that other problem that was also annoying me.
