On 6/12/04 the WWII Forums were patched to a newer, more secure and version of the UBB with some additional features for all you forum goons.  The quick reply feature is one of those new features.
Some time during these upgrades, there are unforseen techincal difficulties. If, in your travels throughout the site you happen to come across a bug or a glitch, or if you just have a question, please contact me via PM or email and I'll do my best to address the issue.
I'll "see" you on the Forums. [img]smile.gif[/img]

TRB, Stevin, thanks guys! With your feedback, I'll try to keep the improvements coming!
CvM, There are some additional customizable options in your 'my profile' area, such as the ability to subscribe to a topic, and the ability to delete the board cookies for security. Basically, you have more control over what you see when you get here.
And there are a couple other features I haven’t turned on yet... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks all for the comments gentlemen!
A few more changes are in store for us in the upcoming weeks. Let's just say Peppy has been hard at work of late.

You mean that long awaited Cache of Images for forum users?

Thanks for all your efforts, Otto - good to see the forums running on all 12 cylinders again
( I'm assuming the forum uses a Merlin engine, of course.... )

Badoom TISCH!!!
Otto, any chance you could put in some kind of script that begins certain forumites posts with a music hall 'I say I say I say...'
Well done on the upgrade, I was wondering why the quick reply was not available before because it is dead handy.

Thanks for the upgrades, Otto. I love the quick reply box. Just luv' it!
By the way, I cannot access to my private message stuff… can do everything within "my profile" but can't access in-coming and out-going messages, instead I get this:
"An error has occurred:
CGIPath/Members/pm_topics/A/00001516.cgi did not return a true value at CGIPath/ubb_lib.cgi line 952.
Please inform the board administration of this error so that they may fix the problem. Thank you!
» Please use your browser's back button to return. "

Thanks Fried, sorry about the glithes. I'll see what I can do to get your PM box back into fighting shape.

I'm currently working on getting the PM boxes back in action. I'm anyone is having troubles similar to the ones mentioned here by Friedrich, please let me know and I'll fix 'em all at once.
Also, if anyone if having any difficulties of any sort, please let me know. There might still be a few bugs running around the Forums from the last upgrade.
Finally, if you run into a thread where there are multiple duplicate messages or empty posts, please let me know. During the server problems (March-April-May), the Forums scripts were for some reason posting multiple copies of the same post, and I'd like to liquidate the dupes. You can just click the report post whistle.
Thanks all, S!
