Every single copy of UBBT shares this deligthful quirk...</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="" face="">Not exactly. It really depends on what resolution you have your monitor set to and what the width of your table is set to in your
theme.inc.php file. For example, my monitor is set to 1024x768 and I have my table width set to 95% (although it's housed in a 95% table which effectively makes it 90.25%). Anything less than (99 New) displays on a single line. (100 New) or more will force it to have a line break. Your assertion that
all UBBThreads forums share this problem is both a fallacy and a gross exaggeration of the facts.

What about the folder? HAVE you looked at that little brown folder? It's vitrually unrecognizeable AS a folder, open or closed. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="" face="">Okay, so my question to you is why don't you upload a different graphic if you're so against the folder? It's not exactly a complicated procedure. You're familiar with FTP, right? I'll even give you a hint about the file names and locations (although simply right-clicking on the folder in question would provide you with the identical information). You can find the two graphics in question in your /images folder as
newposts.gif and
nonewposts.gif. I'll even do you one better, I changed those graphics some time ago to use a lit light bulb and an un-lit light bulb. You can view (and download) the two graphics by clicking
here for the
nonewposts.gif and
here for the
newposts.gif. Both images are transparent and will work on
any background. For an idea of what they look like, click
here.

Why can't I see the message icons laid out? Why can't I EASILY upload more? These and the other interface advancements I have pointed out came years ago, and define the standard of interface options common to your other products, and the industry as a whole.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="" face="">Perhaps they are features common to some other message board software packages, but quite frankly, I don't want
UBBThreads looking like
UBB. If I wanted
UBB I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT UBB. Certainly both were available at the time I made my purchase (December, 2001). I'm assuming that since you are an owner of the
UBBThreads software, both were available at the time of your purchase. Which, quite frankly, really begs the question of why you purchased
UBBThreads in the first place (a question you have refused to answer). I find it highly hypocritical of you to purchase a product, knowing
full well its various features and interface and then whine and complain about how it isn't the same as "every other product" out there. To me this sounds like the consumer who exercised poor judgement and asked his brother to paint his house and then complained about the result. Perhaps he should have investigated further the
quality and
features of his brother's work before
paying him to paint his house.

Isn't what I am seeking really only an interface which functions at a level commensurate with or better than the quality of the messaging technology.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="" face="">Then, perhaps you should have purchased one of those "other" software packages rather than purchasing
UBBThreads and then whining about how it isn't what you want.

accept the consequences of
your decisions and quit whining about them here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
