Unfortunately, vBulletin limits the ability to change the title of a thread to only those with moderator abilities. If you need to adjust a title, feel free to PM me or any of the S2KI team and we can take care of it for you.

I'll look into this. Can you please let me know if you're accessing S2KI from a PC, Mac, or mobile device (iOS or Android), as well as which Internet browser you're using (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer)?

The new forum software doesn't allow us to add dynamically increasing stars in the same way that the old forum software did. We are, however, planning to implement alternative milestone markers like special profile badges.

That's strange, I had the ability two weeks ago. One of those applied fixes broke something else.

As for vBULLETIN CHANGING ALL-CAPS to lower case, this is typed on a Mac in Firefox. Usually when you quote an existing message, it doesn't mess with the reply, just the initial message.

I notice that with the new software, signatures have a number of limitations:

  1. You have included 8 images in your message. You are limited to using 5 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again. Images include use of smilies, the BB code [img ]https://www.s2ki.com/forums/ tag and HTML <img> tags. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator.[/img ]
  2. Your signature cannot be longer than 500 characters excluding BB code markup.
  3. Your signature contains too many lines and must be shortened. You may only have up to 5 line(s). Long text may have been implicitly wrapped, causing it to be counted as multiple lines.
Is there any way we can loosen such restrictions so people like me can keep their signatures that have a higher image total?

People TYPING WHOLE MESSAGES IN CAPS IS ANNOYING AS F.

There's nothing wrong with HIGHLIGHTS or something like TLAs though

Default Ads ads and more ads

I read though this entire thread and there doesn't seem to be much talk surrounding the fact that THERE R ADS LITERALLY EVERYWHERE AND THEY'RE SO DISTRACTING, page sizes have been MINIMIZED to keep us clicking and clicking and loading and loading more and more ads. You S2KI guys must not care about user experience whatsoever. Since the revamp, I'm literally reluctant to visit the right because I feel like I'm seriously have to thrust ads away from the page that I'm on to even read what I'm looking at. Doesn't that matter?

Welcome to Internet Brands, get used to it. I would suggest AdBlock Plus and Ghostery. If one doesn't get them, the other does.

I'll second that recommendation.
