Don't worry Aloone, this is a Linux server, as always.

Oh...and this theme is about the most bloated thing I've ever seen.  It's like 25% post, 75% shit.  I hope the old MS theme works out.

Then why does it not accept OpenOffice attachents and allow MS Word documents?

Why does it recognise file types by their extention and not their content?

If anything OpenOffice documents should show up as ZIP fromat and be accepted.

PLEASE READ THIS:

Don't you just hate receiving Word documents in email messages? Word attachments are annoying, but worse than that, they impede people from switching to free software. Maybe we can stop this practice with a simple collective effort. All we have to do is ask each person who sends us a Word file to reconsider that way of doing things.

Most computer users use Microsoft Word. That is unfortunate for them, since Word is proprietary software, denying its users the freedom to study, change, copy, and redistribute it. And because Microsoft changes the Word file format with each release, its users are locked into a system that compels them to buy each upgrade whether they want a change or not. They may even find, several years from now, that the Word documents they are writing this year can no longer be read with the version of Word they use then.


EDIT:
Come on you all know this, don't you think it's FUCKING STUPID that an anti-Microsoft website accepts MS word documants and rejects the free altranative OpenOffice?

Does anyone else give a FUCK?

Did anyone even take the FUCKING time to read my previous post?

Chill out ;)

I'm currently bug hunting. If it's up to me, no bmp's would even be allowed because of the file size.

Most settings (including the template) are still set default here.

bmp's suck they're big and bloated just like MS Office documents, OpenOffice files are zipped so they take up less space.

Well the default settings often suck but allowing bmp and doc attachments is silly are you sure vBullitin isn't anything to do with Microsoft?

Ok I will stop bitching, as there are more important bugs to fix than this.

I like the MS colour scheme, it's funney how something in Microsoft's style is faster and less bloated than something non-Microsoft! :D

I've noticed you've only made 3 posts, so did you delete your old account and make a new one because you were embarrassed to reveal your old login name. :D

1. The theme.  Gotta see about changing it to User info on the left side of a post and post on the right.

2.  The quick reply box... it's not working. OR at least, you should be able to use it without having to quote soemone.

1. I'm looking into it. I dislike the new view too.
2. I'll have to ask ComSense.

The quick reply box is functioning the same way it does on every other VB forum I've ever used.

About Word Documents, I see no reason to totally disable them.  .BMPs maybe, since they're totally worthless.

BTW, I still can't change my avatar.
