And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check.

You can already set your friends list to be visible to friends only. Click on the "Edit" link atop the list. We will definitely roll this out for the Guestbook and probably for other info on your profile as well. Safe swoops Sangiro

Hey, This is the same error as the one being discussed here. We're working on a fix and I'll keep you posted.

Ok - we know what the problem is here. We're working on fixing this. I'll keep you posted. Safe swoops Sangiro

I am unable to replicate this error to fix it. Do you still see this happening? Safe swoops Sangiro

Phree, We've implemented a fix for this. Let me know if you still see this happening. Safe swoops Sangiro

Dave is right, you can access the posts via the "Se all" link. It's a little confusing though as the recent threads only shows threads that you've started, and not all your posts. I added a link back at the top of a user's profile. See the attachment. Safe swoops Sangiro

Heya all, We're working on this one. It's one of those curious bugs related to IE that we have absolutely no idea why it's happening. In short, the more break or paragraph tags there are in the actual posts ion the page... the more "dead space" the browser adds at the top. and of course to make it more silly... it only happens sometimes! We're looking at this as a matter of priority. Safe swoops Sangiro

I need to change ad service providers to fix that.... we're working on that. It's not something that happens overnight unfortunately. I'm also annoyed by the slowdown. Safe swoops Sangiro

Good catch. I fixed that. Safe swoops Sangiro

Fixed.

Thanks. That was a bug. Fixed it. If a user entered his/her real name it should show up on their profiles again now. Safe swoops Sangiro

Heya all, Well, if you're all work and no play, here's how to disable the Guestbook and Friends List features on your profile: Click on the "Settings" link in the main forum navigation bar at the top On the Edit Display Profile page that comes up change the "Disable Guestbook?" and "Disable Friends List?" dropdowns to "Yes" Click the Make Profile Changes button to save your settingsThat's it. The sidebar will be gone. You can reverse this at any time by simply changing this settings back to "No". Safe swoops Sangiro

Fixed! Thanks Remi.

I moved this back to BF. There's no reason to move this thread around as long as it remains to be a discussion about a GIFT. If you try to change this to a religious discussion your posts will simply be removed. You're welcome to go start a topic discussing your religious opinions about First Communion in Speakers Corner.

Hey Tom, 97.05% of our users currently visit DZ.com with screen resulotions of 1024x768 and higher which is in line with current web trends. For this reason we've started to optimize our pages for that display size. If you're still viewing the site with a 800x600 screen the layout will unfortunately not be optimized for your display. That being said, I've added an option that will allow you to turn off the sidebar on the left. See here. That should help you on the forum pages. You will however see a gradual shift in the entire site over time towards a design that's optimized for 1024x768 screens. Hope that helps.

I've added an option to turn this off. See here. Safe swoops Sangiro

Heya all, We've received a lot of feedback on the new layout and changes. Thanks for that. One change that seem to be creating some usability issues for users with lower screen resolutions is the addition on the new sidebar on the left of the screen. I've added an option that will allow registered users to hide this sidebar and My Stuff menu. To do this: Click on the "Settings" link in the main forum navigation bar at the top On the Edit Display Profile page that comes up change the "Hide My Stuff Menu" dropdown to "Yes" Click the Make Profile Changes button to save your settingsThat's it. The sidebar will be gone. You can reverse this at any time by simply changing this setting back to "No". On hiding the sidebar the link to your Profile and Private Messages (typically accessible via the My Stuff box) will be added back at the top of the page. Please note we will continue to push features, links and services to the My Stuff box. Safe swoops Sangiro

Heya all, As you will have noticed we've made a few changes to the forums. The largest changes were to the look, feel and functionality your individual Profile pages. We spiced those up a bit and added some new functionality and features. There are other changes that impact the forums as a whole. below is a brief descrition of some of the more prominet changes and pointers on new functionlaity that you might want to check out. Avatar / Profile Image management We've completely changed how avatars (and now also profile images) are uploaded and managed. Here are a few pointers: You can upload any image as long as it's less than 1000x1000 pixels and doesn't weigh more than 500kb The Avatar and Profile image sizes will be created automatically - no need to size and crop your own image. You can have up to a maximum of 10 profile images uploaded at any given time. You can set any of these as your avatar/profile image by simply selecting the radio button under the image and clicking on the "Set as Profile Image" button If you've reached your upload limit you'll have to delete an old image to upload a new one. You can set your avatar / profile image to "none" if you don't want do disaplay an image. A link to Upload / Edit your image can be found at the top of the left navigation bar on your profile page. Friends Lists Added Create a lsit of firends by click on the 'Add as friend" link on any user's profile A Friend request will be sent to the user via PM in which he/she can either accept / decline your request Accepting a friend request will add the both of you to each other's lists You can remove friends by clicking on "Remove" next to the username in the fiends list Friends can write to your guestbook (see below) Click on "Edit" in the top right corner of the widget to select who can view your Friends list - You Only, Your Friends or Everyone.

Recent threads started A list of recent threads started by you are displayed on your Profile. Click on "Edit" in the top right corner of the widget to set the number of threads to display and how far back the search should reach.

The GPN can also be seen on newer sections of the site like the Photo Galleries and the Videos Section and will ultimately "follow you around" the entire site for easy access to your own content. My Forum Posts There's a new link included in the main forum navigation bar and the GPN called My Posts Clicking on this will show all your posts as well as all your Wathced Threads Click on the "manage" link in the Watched Threads table title to remove bookmarked threads from yuor list OK - I probably missed a few things but this should get you going. Feel free to leave comments or let me know if you bump into issues. We'll ad more "widgets" (like your posted classifeds, gear reviews, DZ reviews etc) in the near future. Have fun!
