  • Suggestions and Comments

    Well I read that if anyone had any suggestions or comments to post in the section so I decided to start a thread up. I like the new layout, nice touch. I dont know if its my comp or if anyone else is seeing this but some of the links that have pictures are not showing the pictures for example the "post topic" doesnt show an image. It justs has the red X like there should be one and says post topic.

    Re: Suggestions and Comments

    Darbex, I am using Firefox and I dont have the problem you are talking about.  If I use Internet Explorer I see the issue you are referring to.  I have also noticed that the top posts are not showing in Firefox, but they are in Internet Explorer.  
    Sadly I dont know PHP-BB well enough to know if there is a difference on how it displays information etc..
    I am going to make a search on Google to see if there is something that has to be made different in PHP-BB to fix the issue.

    Reason I am bring this up is because it looks like Ken when having to upgrade the site also took advantage of a newer version of PHP-BB and upgraded it too :)  I like it much more

    For anyone who is having display problems may want to assist Ken and at the same time report the following information to see if there is a trend.

    OS : WinXP
    Browser : Firefox 2.0.0.7

    -- I dont see the top posts.. only see those in IE.. but this was also an issue before the site went down.  It was not until I used IE that I noticed the feature there.

    Personally I dont care, therefore I am not going to complain about it.   All the post reply / New topic buttons show for me in Firefox but not in IE 7.

    My 1.5 cents.

          Darbex...  PHP-BB is the underlying software that makes up the forum.  It has a set of rules guiding you though it.  You will notice at the VERY bottom of the the pages the following lines :: fisubsilver shadow phpbb2 style by Daz :: PHP-Nuke theme by coldblooded (www.nukemods.com) ::  This is a basically the copyright line for PHP-BB and PHP-Nuke... you will notice it says phpbb2 which equates to PHP-BB ver2.  PHP-Nuke is another app that displays content in forms (like a news paper)
          I used to run a BB (Forum) back in the day and its what I used.. but you can modify it from here tilll Friday, but somethings never change.  The version Ken is running is a modification available at www.nukemods.com which is why its listed.

          So in short.. The HoustonFishbox is a Forum being run on a server using the software package named PHP-BB - see http://www.phpbb.com/

          I will make the best guess and say there is something in the forum code that is causing most of the issues you are seeing with the forum today.

          Last but not least... best viewed in Firefox or another non-microsoft aka IE browser.

              I am on other phpbb sites and never had a problem before firefox I am sure there is some sort of update on your computer to fix it all.
