is there a preference for turning off email notification of new pm's? if so, i guess i'm dumb and i can't find it. if not, can y'all add it? mjb

Show own posts appears to be broken beyond page 1. I tried it by clicking my own profile and nate's, and they don't appear to be working, neither. Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Windows XP SP2+.

I noticed the "recent posts" part at the bottom of the page got a lot smaller today after the upgrades. I reset my theme back to Ig-Oh (or default) which is what I normally use and the recent posts bar is much smaller than it used to be. I can't find a setting to make it so it shows more posts. Just wondering if there was a way to fix this since I frequently read posts by clicking on them in that part. I believe it showed at least 10 posts before this. Thanks

Non-ASCII characters change to question marks in posts made in HC. I see that this was brought up once in the PPA v. M^3 thread but I didn't see an answer from the admin. I also experienced the same thing when I tried to insert superscript 3 character in my sig. Is this issue on tkam's radar?

Is there any way we can keep the Search, User , Permission and Article boxes to the right with the Recent, Stats and Shoutbox? On my laptop, and especially on my smartphone, having the actual topics narrowed so much by having features on both sides has made browsing more difficult. It's much easier, for me at least, if the forum topics and actual threads stay left-justified so I don't have to scroll over for everything. Thoughts? Anyone else having an issue with the new layout?

I just uploaded few pics into the image gallery here and noticed "Gallery Image" button while replying to a thread. I clicked on the button, but I get a new window with the following message and I can't get at any images. Am I doing something wrong? Fatal Gallery2 Error: Cannot get the Gallery2 ID for this file. Here's the error from G2: Error (ERROR_CONFIGURATION_REQUIRED) in modules/core/classes/GalleryEmbed.class at line 827 (GalleryCoreApi::error) in /var/www/html/forums/g2image/g2image.php at line 453 (GalleryEmbed::getImageBlock) in /var/www/html/forums/g2image/g2image.php at line 494 in /var/www/html/forums/g2image/g2image.php at line 104 in /var/www/html/…

Somebody should build a super special like gears for a special sales action. So head-case can get all rich, and we feast off the bounty.

Hey everyone, I've been planning to add a number of features like a portal integration and also an integrated photo gallery for awhile now. One of the reasons why I've been hesitant to do this is that I know many of the members like the current ability to use any of the installed themes and switch between them on their own. To add the portal and gallery features the ability to choose your own theme would have to go away. Everyone would be forced to use the same theme. Are these features something that you would be interested in? Or would you rather have the option to choose which theme you use? Unfortunately there really isn't any middle ground, so its either new featu…

Am I the only one getting kicked out regularly? It used to keep me logged in for weeks at a time. Only if cookies were reset or the like, I'd have to log back. Also, the layout changed to the default (as if it had crashed). If I change, it will default again. This became noticeable since the last week or 1.5 week or so... And more often than not, the "show unread posts" resets to show no new posts. Confusing. It So what I am saying is I am very displeased and want all my money back, dammit! ;_P

A lot of our off topic discussion is about television shows and movies, so what about a TV and movies subforum? I think it would have decent activity.

I just read about this, and I found it too short. Believe it or not, sometimes I actually think about the post when editing, and find that while I'm sitting in the edit window, rephrasing and reworking something (shocking isn't it...), the time runs out and by the time I hit the save button I can't change it any more. How about 10 mins?

how about a forum for ME, we'll call it "postjacks paradise yall" and basically we only talk about COOL shit in there. basically i make the rules and all the talk is cool stuff only. no lame stuff will be allowed in there. headcase is already a great place, lets make it a greater place!

I'd like to see the quick reply have all the functions currently available in the regular reply. Not a big deal to simply hit preview and do what one needs to do but it would be a bit more convenient I guess.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I like how if you hover the mouse over the title of a post, it lets you read the first few lines in the post, so you can get a feel if you want to open the post or not. Pete

Where'd my light text on dark background go?

I recommend that people should be able to change their own avatar. I can't seem to be able to do that. I don't want to be stuck with this stupid llama forever.

Notice that there is "Lock/Unlock" button at the bottom of threads you start? (for the non-mods out there). Also, removeal of a thread is possible too. Is this a good idea? Never seen this option for general members in a forum before. -Ed

Perhaps this will be an interesting idea.. is it possible to create a up/down rating system to downrate trolls and uprate people who contribute useful information? It could be as simple as another number called "karma" in addition to postcount that's displayed.. users could perhaps choose to give or take this away. I know digg / slashdot uses this, and some forums also have this.. though I cant think of a high traffic site that does this, this forum has a similar system.. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/index.php? (a forum for a robotics competition) This way trolls and such could easily be buried.. Is this sane? possible? am I god's punishment for a bad worl…

I'd like to have the higly missing head-fi "outside" offtopic forums ..

It was a great idea... Call it Pretzel FOrum, it doesn't have to be just about pretzels... Let it be the inane forum where people can just get really silly... Let it be the pretzel central warehouse where i can go off on intangibile stupid things that make no sense, and we can weave a reallly strange dialogue. come on fellas.

Eric made some very good points in this thread: http://www.head-case.org/index.php/topic,238.0.html So we are faced with a situation that another forum we all know faced. 1) We want to know about manufacturers' new products. 2) We don't want manufacturers promoting products through Head-Case discussion forums or photo galleries. 3) We have no mechanism for a manufacturer telling us that a product exists until someone has actually gone out and bought one. The situation is one that lends itself to shilling, and a fair amount of that has indeed occurred in another forum. However, that forum has gone to extremes, so that anyone posting about new products (at l…

Since traffic is low enough here, I usually use "Show Unread Posts Since Last Visit" to view posts. But sometimes, if someone responds quickly enough, it doesn't show up in the list. It'd be nice if the time of the last visit was somehow reset to the time of one's last post once your session times out. I know it could affect some people adversely (I.E. if someone does a lot of lurking, and very little posting, then that list would basically never time out), but I don't think it would be that inconvenient, would it? Or how about: what is the timeout period? Let's say it's 5 minutes. If the time of the last visit could be reset to the time of the last visit minus 5 minutes …

My eyes don't like the way the forums are listed on the main page. There are numbers for the number of threads and the number of posts in each forum, but there's nothing to line them up with the forums... maybe horizontal delimiters would help?

How about a video forum? I'm sure a lot of our members are interested in the emerging HDTV, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, Satellite, even iPod/PDA video, etc. technologies - both screens/projectors and sources, converters, and composition (for our aspiring and pro auteurs) etc. I like movies as much as I like music, but they are enjoyed in a different way. I'd like to get my browsing time's worth, if I am going to be on Head-Fi and Headcase... too many forums

Where did the unread posts function go?
