The post counts doesn't increase when posting on today's topic in Teaday, but it works elsewhere.

It doesn't increase either when posting on yesterday's (and Wednesday) Teaday topic.

:evil:

EDIT: I tried posting in TeaDay in my name and then in Olivier's, each time the post count increased. Retry and let me know. Thanks

OK, I am sure Ilya is aware, but anyway. The "subscribe, bookmark, and delete all cookies" clickables show up just about everywhere except where they are supposed to, usually in the middle of a post. (HAAA, in the middle of this post coincidentlally!!!)

Also, some icons for things like back to top, TeaChat, and whatever subforum one happens to be in would realllllllly be great at the bottom of view topic pages. This used to be there on the old forum. Now if the Banner is set to move, one has to scroll all the way to the top for these options.

Maybe the site is determined to keep your post count a palindrome (2662) and will automatically update once your post count gets to 2772? :wink:

It's happening, or shall I say not happening, to me too. I thought I noticed this a couple of days ago, but I thought I was imagining things. So i guess it's everyone, then?

Am I the only one that still gets the text on the main page messed up? Some of the titles/descriptions go to the next line when they're not supposed to and there's a huge gap at the top. (I'm running a 22" at 1650*1080 if that matters)

Edit- Nvm I just saw where it said your still working on it.
Yes, Ilya posted in IM earlier that this is still a work in progress

I second the opinion that it really doesn't make a lot of sense of why the top bar should remain static even for people with high resolution -- I still find it eating up 1/4 of my vertical space, and don't see the utility of keeping it there.

Why the determination to keep it there? If you want advertising for Adagio teas, may I suggest utilizing the side empty spaces and put a tasteful and nonintrusive background that has Adagio's name on it?

If you go into the User Control Panel>Profile ... at the bottom you can set the banner to move.

I can see the value of having it static at certain times, while most times "keep it movin' buddy!"

Well companies have stuff like this because it adds to that web 2.0 feel. They don't want someone to look at their website and think they must not be successful because their website looks too old.

With my screen it only takes up 1/8 of the page if that, i personally like it but then again if you don't just cut if off, simple as that.

I don't mind it so much, although I really do wish that the static content didn't take up so much space. I'd really like to see the second 'toolbar' go. I also agree that the links to TeaMap, TeaChef, etc., really don't serve any practical purpose for me. I'd really like it if the top three rows could be consolidated.

I am actually pretty happy with the static chat window; thanks Ilya :) (Sorry to those that hate it, but at least you can turn it off now.)

I do have one question, though: what exactly does "Add Foe" do?

Ah, that's much better thanks. The static chat window is nice but I can live without it if it goes with that static header.

Slightly more detailed instructions:
User Control Panel, Profile tab: at the very bottom, below Birthday, you'll see Scrolling, and then a drop down list. Select Scrolling in the list (Scrolling: Scrolling).

It's an odd place for this preference; I'd missed it until Chip's post.

Yay, cheers Ilya.

Abx - To my knowledge all the foe button does is put someone on ignore.

My post count does not increase when I post in the question of the day thread either.

Why can I not simply delete PMs? I keep being prompted to export them in some format or another.
What's going on??
