I've also added some new avatars. There's some 'Arcade' ones:

The first (and original) 151 Pokemon:

And also a whole range of Spore avatars:

Tiny tiny tiny text in the actual text entry area, and tiny eye bleeding reply buttons

Other than that it's rather pretty

I love it, Coxy! Job extremely well done.

tubaros · « **Reply #23 on:** 01 April 2008 at 10:12am »

I like it too, modern, and stylish.

What is the largest size u can have on an avatar?

Meerman · « **Reply #24 on:** 01 April 2008 at 10:36am »

Ok, I'm missing a few things that I would like back, please:

Spoiler tags
Multi-quotes
Swear filter disabling
Attachments

tubaros · « **Reply #25 on:** 01 April 2008 at 10:45am »

I had a "Mark all Meermans Posts As Read" button - if I could have this back too, please - cuts down on the spam.

We've not had multi-quotes since switching from Invision; but you can use the quote button to copy the quote to the quick reply box still.

Spoiler tags was an extension that is incompatible with the new version. But, I'll look into making a new custom one just for you, Richard.

Multi-quotes can be done; I'm doing it now. Hit 'Reply' on a post, and on the page where you get to type your post in, you'll see all the other posts in that thread below (scroll down) and there's an 'Insert Quote' link next to each one. It works well.

Swear filtering... should be on (and should be able to be turned off). I'll check it now.

Attachments never existed - or not that I can remember. Is there any particular reason why these should be turned on?

Yeah, I got that. However, if I was to quote several things from a few pages back, it's a pain, because it doesn't show that far back. I use that feature a lot on teh Muk.

I can't find the option to tick it off.

I used to be able to add attachments to my posts back on the IPB board. I can do it on teh Muk as well, being a super member there. It's dead handy because you can just upload shit from your computer directly instead of hosting it somewhere else first.

tubaros · « **Reply #30 on:** 01 April 2008 at 11:39am »

Aww, Im soz rich was only joking. Ive sent you some cake to make up for it.

tubaros · « **Reply #31 on:** 01 April 2008 at 11:44am »

This would be quite handy.......

Attachments now work, and should be available under 'Additional Options'

Meerman · « **Reply #35 on:** 01 April 2008 at 12:17pm »

Let's see then...

...Nope!

Wasn't 'turned on' for staff - just admins and regular members. It works now?

Meerman · « **Reply #37 on:** 01 April 2008 at 12:50pm »

Take two...

Edit: YAY! I love the Cox!

Sprite Machine · « **Reply #38 on:** 01 April 2008 at 01:23pm »

Ooh, and they auto-thumbnail, too. That's neat.

More news on the forum; we now have attachments (as requested by Meerman). You can add four attachments per post, each attachment is limited to 1meg at the minute. I'll probably up that soon to 2 or 3meg soon.

There was an 'issue' with the attachment folder being full, but that's not a problem anymore. I've put a 10gb limit on the folder; when / if it gets bigger than this, I think we'll implement some sort of subscriber option - but that should be a long way off unless the forum grew rapidly. Oh, and if you're a n00b, you can't upload attachments until you reach 15 posts - stopping evil people signing up and potentially uploading something nasty.

I'll be progressively adding new avatars for people to play with. Here's some more from Paper Mario, Metroid and Animal Crossing:
