    There is this setting in the admincp:

    Create a stronghold auto-log in cookie?
    If enabled, when a member logs in, an additional cookie is set which contains geographic information in a crypt to make cookie stealing almost impossible. Only turn off if users cannot stay logged in

    I just disabled it. Let's see if it doesn't fix issues people have with staying logged in.

    I don't show up on the sportsbook leaderboard. I posted this yesterday, and then showed up, so I edited my post, but now I don't show up again. I saw you said you were working on some things with the sportsbook, so I'm sure you are already on it. Amazing job men.

    I see you put code into your post. All you have to do is paste code into a post, and turn "HTML On" in the drop-down box next to "Post Options".

    here, I took your video's code...and presto:
    <object width="520" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/embed/61JwQlPiWGVR39WVkTd1VQNdiJ1HT3bH"></param><param name="flashvars" value="st=835&et=985"></param><embed src="http://www.hulu.com/embed/61JwQlPiWGVR39WVkTd1VQNdiJ1HT3bH" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="st=835&et=985" width="520" height="295"></embed></object>

    One thing I noticed personally, is my inability to change the HTML to "On" in the "Post Options" section in the Moderator Forum. I'm not sure if you have that ability, though...

    I was sporting two sigs of normal size, which caused them to format one on top of the other, and made my sig length huge. I fixed this on the old site by manually reshaping the size of each sig in the 'signature editor' until they fit on one line.

    I can't seem to do that on this site. Although clicking on an image in the sig editor shows boxes that can be used for manipulation, and although you can reshape images in the editor, when you click on 'update sig' they new dimensions are lost, and the images return to default size.

    That drop down menu is not available in the mod forum.

    I tried to link to this post instead, but I wasn't able to do that either.

    This is one of the drawbacks of using bbcode instead of HTML. They don't support "align" tags so you can wrap text (or other elements) around images.

    Brian and Mastershake rock! Because both of them don't care about whether about how they get rated. If I knew how to rate ppl I'd give them both 5s.

    I've tried turning board notification off and on for PM notification, but when I get new PM's I never get notification, just says it in the corner that I'll have a PM, so half the time I don't notice. I've tried the option off for board notification, and I've tried the option on, but the same thing. Any way we can fix this?

    I get notifications by e-mail when I get PMs.

    http://sportstwo.com/forums/email-settings.html
    I have this checked:
    "Send a notification email when I receive a new private message
    Enabling this option will send an email notification of any new private messages sent to you."

    It could be that emails from the message board are getting sucked into your spam filter?

    I have that checked, don't get any e-mails, and have no spam filter on my e-mail.

    Does the last box say "Immediate email notification"?

    OK, I understand the problem.

    It's a DNS issue on our end. Some ISPs may reject email from S2 until we fix it, and we're on it. Should be fixed later today, if we don't have to notify our hosting company and wait on them to apply a fix.

    I have this same problem. When we first moved to the site, I used to get a popup saying "you have a new private message" or something like that in My Assistant. Now, I get nothing, and forget about private messages, and they go unnoticed.

    It was only showing the top 10 on the Leaderboard page. I see no reason it shouldn't show everyone. Now you're shown.
