vBulletin 4 - This Weekend

Holy shit you people need some goddamn aliasing on your fonts, that must fuck with your eyes something chronic.

Ok, so I've lined up Fingernail's screenshot with a vb3.8.4 properly aliased from Safari 4 on OSX and a properly aliased screenshot from Firefox 3.6 on Windows 2008. I can kinda see what you mean, they're a touch bigger, but it's more the width than the height I think.

It doesn't help that it's a different font, so I'll switch it back over to what we used on vb3.8.4

Are attached images supposed to go outside of the tables?
Also, I think the Reply Now button should go above the Quick Navigation and Page Blah of Blah info.
But that's just like, an opinion.

I'd like that too. It'd be a little more convenient if the 'reply to thread' button were directly below the last post.

Thank you David it looks lovely now :)

You are wrong about font aliases but the fixed thread titles have me too happy to argue!

Would it be possible to bring back "show posts" in search? It doesn't seem to work; searching for stuff is patently worthless when it only brings up megathreads with dozens of pages without the ability to show the specific individual posts.

On the Advanced Search page, hit the Search Type button in the top right (or whatever it is called).

So there's a basic search, an advanced search, and a super duper advanced search?

Great. :erg:

Oh there it is. Kinda dumb to have it on two separate pages but no skin off my nose. Is there a way to make showing results by post the default?

Not sure if anyone has posted this. The FAQ's in Thief Gen are borked. They take you to the main page.

Not only the FAQs in Thief Gen, I believe a lot of links take you to the main page. (For instance kamyk's FM Listing Thread links.)

Actually, so far its my "Fan mission listing by type" sticky, the "Thief Series: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS", the "Technical and Troubleshooting FAQ", the "System Shock Series FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS", The "Thief2X Technical FAQ", and any other faq, sticky or post on the board that has a Table of Contents that links to itself. For example, SneakyJack's mega-thread TOC still works because all the links link to other posts in his thread, whereas in all the ones I've mentioned, the TOC links link to places in the original post.

At first I thought it was just that html code was off, but while it being back on fixes several faqs and faq issues, it still doesn't fix the TOC ones. It appears that the

HTML:

codes no longer work, and while I've possibly found a bbcode substitute for the first tag, I have no clue what the bbcode substitute for the second tags are.

I was asked by Pav to post or PM about it, but hadn't gotten to it yet, as I was trying to find a solution first. If I understand correctly, those html tags have to be manually added into the vb4 code as an extra bit of allowed html code for it to work. Which I may not understand as I know less than nothing about vbcode, bbcode, or php, only what I looked up in relation to those html tags.

For now I expect the best solution is to just ignore the TOC in the stickys and scroll down the whole post, until they have time to tinker with the issue.

It's probably the span code that's not allowed. Either wait for Daveh to re-allow it or try this instead:
