interestingly, one of the ads on the board is for an online service that provides online forums.
how's that again? that would be like an apple app selling ads for the Samsung Galaxy.

It seems that Photobucket has decided to nix the photos we were using for the header and the background.

It seems that Photobucket has decided to nix the photos we were using for the header and the background. Yea. Think they pretty much committed suicide. Photobucket accused of blackmail after quietly requiring users to pay $400 a year to hotlinkFor the last 6 months they have been sending a friend emails that state they can't access their account because it is full and have to pay for extra storage. Yep you account is full and we wont let you back in until you pay us. You can't even get in to view or delete to make room. I did find a back way in just in case she wants to delete some and keep the free account going. P.S. Cyber you may want to host the photos at one of these sites. Thankfully any pics I have embedded in web pages are at Flickr. Free Image Sites like Photobucket |

so they are trying to put the buck in photo buck-et?
I think proboards can host the banner and background images, directly, as well.

I changed the images over to imgbb for now.
I just got tired of looking at photobucket's nag screen.

Question, board issue I may or may not be having because I just got "Updated".
Instead of updating the board and scrolling down to the pot I just posted, at this time, when I post a post, I get back to the head of the page I just posted on, but not to the position on the page where that new post is?..
This is also happening when I click "New", from recently updated posts page, I get the right page, but its not scrolling down to the "new" posts...
Is it just me?.
I ask because I have been using three different machines in the last day or so, so it may just be the bookmark that cant remember where I was up to last that has been confused....

Question, again, "Is it just me", the "{post options" button for delete post report post etc are not showing at the top of the post, I have the quote, edit, and "like" thumb, but the options button is missing, anyone any idea why?...
[it is not blocked by any blocker here... otherwise all other buttons would have been blocked as well?.. ]

The delete only shows up if it's one of your own posts. |

I have given up tryingg to predict where it will land me on the page as not being important enough for me to waste processor time on. |

I am talking about the gear shaped icon. Next to the Quote and Thumbs icons.
It has gone here completely.

I've checked Firefox, chrome, IE and Safari on my iPhone and it's there in all browsers. Are you sure you didn't accidentally block it in some Adblock software? You can tell Adblock to filter out individual elements on a page. I've set my Adblock to filter out the brick background and banner at the top of each page.

Just to be sure, I went over the Admin software options.
I can't see anywhere where we could turn the settings icon off.
Maybe it's time to contact proboards help?

Out of curiosity, I logged out and reloaded the page. Two things happened:
1. I still saw the gear icon, but it didn't have all the options the regular one does.
2. I saw the ad blocker popup. I've never seen it before.
Just some data points...
