strange, when I use Chrome I do get the options to add img's and smiley's, with FF not

Same here.That's this old version of the forums software. Looks like you need to add a line break.

This is a discussion that is ongoing internally. I find the forum software frustrating to use at times as well although I'm never actually prohibited from communicating what I need to say or reading what others have to say. It doesn't seem that you are either. I will acknowledge that I personally use Chrome every day so it sidesteps most of the compatibility issues you're aware of and frustrated about.

CakeAlexS, to be perfectly honest with you, I have not personally replied on this matter before because it is frustrating to be constantly provoked on this topic at every corner on what are completely unrelated threads. I don't find a ton of time to make it on the forums, but I've read similar quotes from yourself on many occasions.

Quite frankly it doesn't come across as asking nicely when people need help with various things and instead of addressing the topic at hand, they're pitted against our staff and operations at every opportunity. I'm sorry you feel the way you do about our team being amateurs. From the inside looking out, I couldn't disagree more. Rather then argue about it or get into specifics though, at the end of the day I hope we can just change this opinion over time since I'm pretty sure we can both agree that actions speak louder then words.

Just because we haven't replied publicly and directly on internal business operations does not mean we aren't listening and working on improving things every day (this goes for various other topics as well that you seem to have a lot of opinions about, our newsletters, our web store, etc. and not just the version of the forum software).

For whatever it's worth, I have no plan on throwing you out. From what I've observed, you seem to be a pretty helpful person despite wanting to physically abuse some Cakewalkers. :)

I would like to move on from this topic however. The signature isn't actually necessary.

Oh snap!

 The best forum software I have used to date...hint hint hint.

Try hosting the image at Photobucket or another image host and paste the IMG link code in instead of using the forum uploader. That should work.

That won't make any difference. I can open my profile, remove things from my sig and the software complains that my sig limit has been exceeded, although of course exiting leaves the current signature with more characters in place.

Go figure....... but beside that the forum search is atrocious and the errors that pop up from time to time while sending PMs annoying to say the least.

I realise there are many variables and there are problems with other websites but this is one of the worst that I use, and it seems to be getting even worse - for me at least.

Uh.....

= 255 characters..... that is the limit my friend. It's not base on what you see it's based on actual characters.

Yeah I know that, but surely if I remove one of them and don't add anything else it shouldn't complain should it? But it does.....

Aha!!!


Yes I have seen that before. In that instance I delete it all. Save. Exit User Profiel. Go back to User Profile. Create sig from scratch.

Hi Ryan

Thankyou for your response.

I think the request has been out there for approx 3 years, as far as I am aware this is the very first acknowledgement of the issue.... ever. Maybe there is one but I haven't read it. It's the same with UK VISA cards, telling people to to phone support without acknowledging there is an actual problem makes it look like you think it is the customers fault that they are eating horse meat.

If you guys would just simply acknowledge a few serious issues now and then, rather than say nothing that would be a little like sticking sticky tape over a balloon and then pressing the pin in, rather than wait for the balloon to explode. If you don't at least acknowledge something, we will simply assume you are doing nothing, internally or otherwise.... esp when you do this over several years....

So what I've done here is pretty childish, yes it WAS designed to provoke a reaction, and now I've finally got one. Yes I've been naughty boy, but like a child you (Cake) didn't give me or anybody else using these forums any attention whatsoever leading us to debate it like rats in a cage. So mission accomplished, I've removed my footer, I won't dare ask about why it has taken 3 years to even discuss the issue internally or time scales just to upgrade your forums software. Why don't you guys give ASPPlayground a call and get them to do the update perhaps? I know updating forums software can be a little tricky but it certainly isn't impossible. The latest update works and it works well.

Thanks for your reply....

Cheers...

Bugs?  Have you been drinking or had a close encounter with an asteroid?
