Wow, that's some old school technique.
As 002 said, mouse wheel click opens every link in a new tab. AFAIK every modern browser supports it.
not if you are at your laptop ;)

Some notebooks can imitate the mouse wheel click when both mouse buttons are pressed. Try looking into your mouse pad driver.

You thought of putting in a search function for pm's?

That's worse than pressing Ctrl

Just a quick note (perhaps redundant), but in the PM inbox you can sort messages by author, yet in the sent folder you can't (sort by adressee).. and seeing there's no search as far as I've found, that makes it pretty nasty to find that one message you want!

It would be nice. I guess phpBB was never ment for such large pm boxes. Normally you can store like 50 messages and then you have to delete old stuff to make space.

I have a problem when I try to login with tapatalk, I've misspelled my password a few times and now when I try to login
I get a error message that I've entered the wrong password too many times. And then I should enter a captcha. But the captcha isn't displayed in tapatalk... Hmm... Any ideas?

Should have solved itself, it stores login attemps for the last 6 hours.

Is there a way to make my new mail directory the default, so it replaces the full one?

Or even better, any download option?

If you don't see it, it ain't there.

Was the favicon changed? I think it's different than a week ago. :?:

To be honest I liked the old one better. This one looks too bold. Only my opinion though.

Thanks for giving us back the old one!*

*) I guess the better looking right one is the old icon.

I'd love to but I don't have the time in the foreseeable future. Perhaps xbb or someone else is interested in implementing or researching it (maybe there's a phbBB mod for this).

If you see the old one, your browser is still caching it!

I will take a look this weekend for the PMs search feature.

Cheers.

I kinda like the new favicon. The old one is a quick hack job by sixty and a very simple pixelated icon. New one has anti-aliasing and different sizes if the client requests it. Granted, the D is bolder in the 16x16 version than the old version, but I think it works well for such a small icon.

BTW, webwit has enabled SVG support in MediaWiki now, which means that graphics can be uploaded in vector format now. This brings graphics in line with the spirit of a wiki.

For those who don't know vector graphics, think of it as open source graphics – the source of the image is the image: every line, circle, label remains editable as its own object, and you can clone objects such that when you alter one of them, all the clones update automatically. This means that you can save an image from the wiki to disc, tweak a line or circle or colour or edit a caption, and upload a new version really easily. It's also infinitely scalable, unlike a PNG or GIF that becomes pixellated when you enlarge it. Inkscape (which I use) is a pretty reasonable FOSS SVG editor — no-where near as buggy or crashy as it used to be in the past ;-) (apparently the Windows version was far less stable than the Linux version, perhaps due to GTK+ bugs under Windows).

I tend to map middle mouse to the top left area of the trackpad. My laptop does have a four button trackpad but I've stuck with the top-left tap zone out of habit.

Unfortunately tapping the top-left corner isn't much more reliable than trying to click two buttons at the exact same time. My work laptop is terrible at correctly detecting top-left taps.

From the "post your header image" thread:

Would it be possible to get the "try header" script on this special page, just like it works in that particular thread? I know this is some other "nice to have" feature, but it doesn't appear all that hard either.
