Dual-boxing.com v2.0 Revenge of the BBCode

[olipcs]

Hi, I liked it :)

Some short question: Will there be any 'conversion' for internal links? Like they are used here: http://new.dual-boxing.com/showpost....40&postcount=1 or would we need to do this by ourself (which would result in many 'broken' threads, i think).

Due to the different forum systems, there's going to be a lot of broken links. so we're going to have to be mindful when we tell new people to go read X link. as it may no longer be valid.

I used link , my name was in use, I used a new one from my signature, not a problem for me , my avatar worked as well I transferred my signature, not like I post a lot, just read a lot. looks good to me.

Seems a little flakey with Opera. Looks like the forum trees are aligned to the right-hand side of the browser and has some very big gaps in random places. Opera also does not appear to be cool enough to have a bottom scrollbar.

Looks ok on the main page VV
General Section VV
Posts VV
A post with a screenshot that goes beyond my current browser width. Notice it is cut off on the left side and there is no scrollbar on the bottom of my browser VV
An extreme example of the above @my normal browser size VV
The above example with my browser fullscreened. Still no scrolling. VV
No issues like this in the current forums. Win7 and Opera 9.64

Edit - works just fine in IE, so it just doesn't like Opera.

At this point in time I'm fine with it being broken in Opera. That may be a bit harsh, but judging from our visitor's reporting User Agents, there aren't that many Opera users. I'll be the first to admit, I don't know much about Opera, but if IE and Firefox can render the site.... what's Opera's deal?

~60% of our traffic comes in with Mozilla user agents. IE is another ~30%. If we're readable in those, I think we're doing reasonably well.

You can open up /etc/hosts and add the line in the first post of this thread, save it, and restart your browser. If that doesn't work, it just may not work in your part of the internet >.<

Looks cool, can't help but wonder if the image at the top couldn't be a tad more relevant to the theme of the site... one blood elf and one night elf doesn't scream "MULTIBOXING" like five identical gnomes facing off against Hogger would :P

I am just wondering if I am the only one that is having issues getting to the site.

I have changed the host file on all computers that I own, flushed DNS. Used different browsers firefox and IE8 and I still cant get to the site.

It's not just you. It's DNS issues with the hosting / registrar. we're working on it >.<
