Archived fixes / Re: IE8: menu broken (with fix)
« on March 25th, 2012, 11:43 AM »
If I told you I'd have to kill you :ph34r:

No I work for the NHS, which is the UK's health provider and one of the biggest organisations in the world. They are ultra-cautious when it comes to IT, specifically networking stuff because of the risks of confidentiality and just plain hacking. We're not allowed to install any software or browse Facebook (and probably many other sites). Every time ?shock / flash? is upgraded it takes about 2 months for the PCs to be updated so iPlayer (British TV replay site) doesn't work, which is a pain when on nights.

So like I say the problems on that computer are likely just specific to that computer due to its unique circumstances.

From memory they might have disabled it. They do have Word however the firewall / set-up may not allow me to upload a file - this sounds pessimistic, I'm just 'managing your expectations'.

Did I mention I'm not in until Thursday :eheh:

Hi, sorry not to reply again yesterday - can only sit at that computer while having a break and my time had run out!

Due to the way the shifts have fallen I'm not in until Thursday :eheh: :D :crazy: :yobrother: :bravo: :yahoo: so I'll have a look at the operating system then, however I'm fairly sure there isn't the software (e.g. Paint) to do a print-screen. I could do an 'artist's impression'?

Yes, but I would wait for someone else's confirmation as this PC seems a bit odd - this is the one that occasionally hangs when going into Forum Profile with no pattern. So in hindsight ignore me unless someone else has the same problem.

This PC has IE8 and all the dropdown options drop down below "Home". Does that make sense?

The Daily Express side of me doesn't want non-English speakers thank you very much "...and we will build Jerusalem in England's green and pleasant land because the real Jerusalem has all those foreigners in it"[1]
 1. I really do not have these views and genuinely deplore them

Even thought my preferred language is English I am suddenly a "Membre Junior", others are "Membre Senior", and I think Moderator is spelt a bit odd too. I've refreshed and cleared my cache to no avail - is this happening for anyone else?

:lol: That site's quite funny - I also like the dinosaur one "Not so tough now are you".

Actually I'm amazed that we never get any spam - maybe two or three posts since we switched to SMF in September. I turned off the capture thing as we were getting 10s of new members a day. The reg page now asks the user to type a word in the box and, hey presto, hardly any false new members!!!

It's a tricky question. The Daily Express / paranoid side of me thinks yes we should have this due to the risks and protection against those foreign hackfactories, whereas the more level headed real world admin in me knows we rarely get spammers or hackers so why make it inconvenient for the members.

I suppose you could make it an option so that, if in future we get bigger, draw more attention and get more hacking attempts, we can switch it on?

In the mean time I want to make clear I do not read the daily express.

I think that some of our members have set their own value too (but I'll look in the database later in the week to be sure).
Just had a look and out of a thousand, 6 people have set this option.

If anyone else wants to see if thier members are setting this option the sql code I used was:
Code: [Select]
SELECT *
FROM `smf_themes`
WHERE `smf_themes`.`variable` = 'topics_per_page'
AND `smf_themes`.`value` >0

Oh :blush: I use this, have set it at a different number to default and I think that some of our members have set their own value too (but I'll look in the database later in the week to be sure).

So like Nordo "I wouldn't be heartbroken if you removed this, but I don't want you to." :thanks:

BUG - From the front page, clicking on any topic take you to the last post in that topic opposed to first unread. Whether you click the link or the icon it does the same thing.
I get this as well. The New image is on the first unread post[1], but the browser goes to the last post.

ps the Switch to full editor button is cool :)
 1. Actually, if the first unread post is on the previous page the New image is on the top post of the last page.
