Mark all the fourms READ you will see that the buttons become BLANK. The icons then appear when there are new messages. :)
well, there goes me being lazy, lol... although it would be nice for the icons to be a different colour like on past versions....
We're also have that in our TODO list.

I won't name them all because some of them doesn't make any sense to you (members) but i will write a few of them:

SITE:
- Restrict Junior Members from the tracker (users with less than 25 posts)
- Make categories show their sub-categories in the frontend search
- Add Banners to Tracker and TDB

FORUM:
- Fix the cursor/background color in the reply boxes
- Country Flags
- PM Popup
- tune/change the "Welcome Panel"
- Back/top/main links in the individual threads

So as you can see, nothing too serious, just some cosmetic changes and minor bugs.

That's because your PC couldn't resolve the metpage.org domain. Usually it's the ISP problem ( i also get a few of them sometimes) and there's nothing we can do except retry the connection :mellow:

Country flags have been restored with new images. If you don't have a country set in your profile ( :brik: ) please do it since the flags just rock :thumbs-up:
