Board Change Announcements

Just spent a good amount of time learning all about table collation in mySQL in order to fix the searches here on SB. Searches are no longer case-sensitive, which should be a huge help in the functionality of SB. Give it a try! Go find fun stuff!

Was that what it was?! I suppose that I should have just asked.

That's awesome to hear. Thanks James!

It works!! Thank you, so much. Makes it way easier.

Great work James. I had not noticed specifically that the case-sensitivity was an issue, but I know for sure that many of us have been enternally frustrated by SB's search function. So happy you were able to give it a tweek. Here, here for James, and all his volunteer work to make this board a better place!

Added a new bbcode for images that can use a specified width. Check it out:

Makes this:

Oh so happy about this change James, you da man for sure. I have long been lamenting this fact over in the FAQ section. Thanks for your ongoing efforts to make SB kickass even more.

but i want it this big!

thank you for your efforts.

@TiredChildren
Since your Mr. skullbrain fix-it (and very efficient at it I must say) can you tell me why I have been dropped from the SSSS forum? I not only paid my dues this year but I'm still the moderator as far as I know, yet have no access?

We're on to you!!!

I MAY have made a new banner for the board and a new iOS shortcut icon for those of you who have bookmarks for SB on your iDevices. Maybe.

i applaud your skills/efforts/hubris seriously, though, thanks for keeping us happy!

The new banner is great James!

^ don't make public promises you won't keep.

Hahaha great header!

didn't see the header but i like the icon

edit: nvm cleared cache, good look

ha! I like it.

Yeah it's nice! I definitely need a jpg of the old one though.

Bad screen cap, but for posterity:

I want the ability to make icon/buttons for hyperlinks to other sites. Clean up the sigs, sort of speak. I like how my flickr link is but I want just a tumblr icon for the other one. It would be a nice touch. James?

^ Just added some buttons for Flickr / Instagram / Twitter. You can add those things to your profile now, and a little button will show up under your posts that's a link to your profiles on those sites.

Great, big thanks! And BTW the banner is great the way it is right now.

EDIT OK I See them
