The personal pictures is not a bug per se.

Thanks for the links, but when I click them I get a "You are not allowed to access this section" notice. Could it be that those boards are currently only available to moderators?

And every time I click to go to a forum I get booted off the internet. If I just click on 'last post' it works okay...

that should be sorted - i've switched off the caps thingy.

also just spotted possible solution to one of the main problems while messing around on a clients pc.

the blue website is slinging.org
the green one is www.slinging.org

Soon as i get back to my pc I'll re-edit the paths.pl file and put them all on www.slinging.org.
with luck (and a few prayers) that ought to sort most of the current issues out.

Ok. I like the workability of the site. BUT!!! I am still SERIOUSLY FREAKED OUT AT ALL THE BLUE!!

Can i complain to any one? Suggest we change to Earth Tones. Like Brown or Green??

Seriously. The blue is freaking me out.

Slinging and all of the "Earth Projectile {Stuff} should be BRONW OR GREEN.

The BLUE is SERIOUSLY FREAKING OUT MY OCD. It's all wrong. Like in a "Monk" way wrong. Sad

I was exploring the User CP, and when I clicked the "Options" link under the "Profile" tab, I got the following error message:

Quote:

Can't open directory (www.slinging.org/yabbfiles/avatars)!
Please inform the Administrator of this forum that the $facesdir setting must be fixed immediately.
Verbose: No such file or directory

It's been so long since I did anything with my profile that I don't remember what was on the options page, so I'm not really missing it, but I thought I'd post the error message in case it's a bigger problem.

Thanks for all the work on the new forum!
