Forum suggestions and bugs

[DesktopMan]

Not sure where the rest of the world went, but you can only choose United States in your profile. Are there any hope for us aliens? :)Transparent avatar would be nice. PNG or GIF format supports a transparent color, but currently the forum converts it to a low res JPG even if you upload a transparent one, thus losing the transparency. The black edge around the image (due to it being a link, easily fixed) is pretty ugly."Notify me on replies" would be very useful to track replies to topics you have posted on, like many message boards have.There's something weird with the style sheet when using FireFox; if you quote a person the name becomes invisible, as it has the same color as the background.Option to sort threads by Last Reply (e.g. by clicking on Last Reply) Keep up the good work!

Yeah I'd also like something like this as I can't tell when someone posted something new.<br>

---------</p><p>&nbsp;I'm using ThunderBird, and there's no link to click. It's just all text. I checked the HTML source:</p><pre id="line58">a xhref=3D" &lt; % FORUM_URL % " &gt;LOGIN AND CHECK IT NOW</pre><pre id="line58">Seems some error occured in the href.&nbsp;</pre>

<P>I really want to be able to view and sort threads by last reply; makes it so much more easier.</P>
<P>Also theres a bug when you click on the current "hot topic" in the general forum and it brings you to a totally different topic :(</P>

</p><p>I checked the software that they are using here (www.phpfox.com) and
it doesn't look like that is an option without changing the code
directly. It does however have a plugin to use vBulletin's forum.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>&nbsp;ETA:</b></p><p>I checked their site and found their support forums. Even they are not using their own software. They use vBulletin:</p><p>

Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.6.5</p>Copyright ©2000 - 2007, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. <p>&nbsp;Someone asked that question on their site, here, and they got a response of
</p><p>yes it's possible but it will require a complicated and costly join for a heavily used site. </p><p>&nbsp;I've worked with php and sql for some time now and a simple index on the post time with a descending request in the SQL query is not at all difficult ... unless their code is really bad.<br></p>

after posting a reply the page sometimes doesn't fully reload, loading everything except the posts people have made.&nbsp;Anyone else have this problem?

<p>I agree on the missing countries. Aren't we allowed to browse the forums if we're non-us citizens? <img src="http://www.rockbandgame.com/file/smile/biggrin.gif"></p><p>I also noticed a bug.... When you register you don't have to fill in zip-code - but you <b>must </b>when you fill in profile details.....</p><p>It would be nice if you could allow nicknames of 5 characters. I can't have my own name as username because of the 6 character limit. <img src="http://www.rockbandgame.com/file/smile/artist.gif"></p><p>It would also be fun if we could fill in what type of player we'll be / are. Like Guitarrist / Bassist / Drummer or Singer. <img src="http://www.rockbandgame.com/file/smile/biggrin.gif"></p>
