    That's what flash does unfortunately. Though newer versions of the plug in don't have as much of a problem if they load slowly they can do this.

    Did the WotC boards blow up...again?

    @Tao That was not my intent and I apologize. When I referred to customer service I was referring to the policy the boards now have of requiring users to either call into customer service or use a cust-serv email. The appearance this gave to me is that the wizo's have been cut out of customer...

    Character Points I - Physical Description

    Cross-gender play is a topic I'll probably revisit - it can definately fill an article by itself. I mention it in passing here to note that it is a potential trouble spot. That doesn't mean it will be a trouble spot. I have myself played female characters and my two novels have female...

    Character Points I - Physical Description

    I think you're getting a bit jaded about the bad-wrong-fun debates that have raged across the board of late. If you are insulted by that article you need thicker skin. Now that specific reply aside, several of you have noted that this is a bit 'basic'. Well, yeah. I want to cover the basics...

    Ten Sonnets

    These were originally posted on the Circvs. Members over their know the details behind these which I won't divulge here. I'm just posting them since I feel they turned out rather well and I want to share them. I use a structure of my own devising here, the rhyme scheme is abcabcdefgefgd I...

    Blog Modification

    Jelsoft plans this as a feature in the next version of the software - I'm content to wait and see what they concoct.

    Big pictures

    I don't remember which of the over 9000 plugins at CM is doing that... (But I can figure it out )

    Magic in ENWorld?

    We could start with an other games forum and use thread tags and prefixes for specific games. I personally adore Magic and wouldn't mind having a forum for it, but it would be a step towards making the board more general fantasy related instead of D&D/RPG related. And to echo Umbran, ultimately...

    Did the WotC boards blow up...again?

    There will come a day when I finally just give up and stop typing anything on any board. I'm a programmer, not a diplomat. I would have used, as you put it, proper channels - indeed I tried for several days. When it became apparent that such channels have been cut off I posted what I have posted...

    I don't see how that is possible. Either your browser is transmitting a cookie to the server or it isn't. If it is then it will work, I've now tested in IE 6,7,8beta, Firefox 3, Safari 3 and even Opera. So double check. I will modify the code further to link $_SESSION to the vbulletin session...

    Welcome to ENWorld 2

    It would be nice if the images would display if I didn't specify the div heights, but alas Internet Explorer - even 8 beta - is incapable of this elementary feat that every other browser is capable of. That's why the scrollbars are there, to work around an IE bug. I suppose I could lock the...

    Do you have the remember me box checked when you log in? If not, you are NOT using cookies. Cookies must be enabled for the wiki to work, at least until I tinker with it some more. The problem is vbulletin stores sessions in the database instead of the $_SESSION array

    Horizontal scroll bars on the news page?

    If sites don't break on them they'll never upgrade. If they never upgrade web technology will stagnate. At some point you just got to yell and say, "Stop using IE 6"

    Horizontal scroll bars on the news page?

    I can't even get the page to *open* on IE 6, let alone see what it looks like, though this is due to a bug in Tredosoft's Multiple IE tool. I'm guessing the problem is a table in a div with margins - IE 6 is stupid, it thinks 100% means 100% of window when the specification calls for it to mean...

    ETA on the Wiki?

    Are you sure you have cookies enabled? That is, you checked off "remember me" when you logged in. Browser version can't make a different here, this is a server side issue. You're either transmitting a cookie or you are not.

    Welcome to ENWorld 2

    Oh really? http://www.cnn.com http://www.foxnews.com http://www.abcnews.com Let's try some newspapers shall we? http://www.usatoday.com http://www.newyorktimes.com Not a single one of those sites prints entire articles on their front pages. He specifically said it was "awful" which, where...

    ETA on the Wiki?

    I modified the code to write the values necessary to confirm the wiki login to the $_SESSION after vbulletin authenticates (in short, I hacked it). The bug has went away on my Firefox and IE installations - confirmation that it is gone would be appreciated.

    Ok, I think I got the bug killed. I need sleep before moving onto other things.
