The Das Keyboard on the Forum Masthead sure has big mold shrinkage dimples.

However it is German. Kinda.

I don't want multiple windows on my phone at all. It wastes resources and the only times I know there are several windows is when some page opens a new one and I have to close it. Then all the windows show up ruin my life.

Someone who speaks German can't be a bad person.

You're all right. I've put it somewhere on the todo list as a preference we'll add to the user control panel.

If anybody here is bored and has got nothing else to do, I definitely wouldn't mind a Windows 3.1 compatible skin for this forum that would work in MSIE5.0.

The funny thing actually is that all of Google's sites render prefectly in 16-bit MSIE5. I always use Windows 3.1 to check my e-mail (It's a G-mail). That way, if somebody emails me a virus, chances are it won't work. They just don't make too many 16-bit viruses these days.

I'm sure a Windows 3.1-compatible skin is at the top of the priority list.

But, seriously, if anybody's bored, I'd love it if they'd work on something like Gmail's "Basic HTML" mode that would work in old browsers. But it's not that big of a deal. I'll just use a different computer for now.

Did you hear the one about the Dutch Keyboard Forum with only one post?

I like the two registered users, GoogleBot must be a popular guy

Maybe Deskthority needs a new "look" to distinguish themselves from the competition?

Oh THAT's where everybody gets their forum SW.

I'm thinking of starting mine. I'll call it the "Winklevoss Unsocial Network" - or "InYoFaceBook" for short.

I'm hoping THIS forum at least makes a strong stand against SW Piracy.

Actually I would download a Pizza if I could. Thinking about it, that would be quite awesome.

It's not unpossible. Using robotics, your download could trigger a mechanical contraption that assembles and bakes a perfect pizza.

My God, what a brilliant idea...think of the possibilities!

Excuse my cave degree, but where do I click for the forum to take me to the first unread post in a thread?

It does not exist (yet?). There is a last post link, but not a latest post.

It appears to be a bug, phpbb seems to have the logic for it.

I see another bug - new posts since my last login don't appear marked as unread. Some do, but some don't.
Hope you guys get this forum software stuff sorted. I know that forum support and administration sucks.

If something looks weird, please refresh the page or clean your cache. There are some updates in the design and your browser may be caching old stuff.

No caching at all. :lol:

Umm can I close thread on marketplace? If I thread starter?

Very likely got rid of my Xkeys, so thread isn't needed anymore and deleting it seems wrong as history is always good to have to find out prices...

You should be able to do so. If not, maybe webwit changed the option.
