Minor update to the site

Hi all; just did a minor update to the site's current architecture (mainly security fixes). For the most part, it should not have changed anything critical on the user-experience front. However, if you see things looking a little out of place, or strange, that need to be re-edited and formatted to our specific settings, DON'T PANIC but please comment or PM me and I'll work on fixing them over the long weekend.

first thing I've found is format of user profile (no longer has avatar).

I'm just going to log things as I find them here, btw

Thanks for the heads up Min!

Emoticons now show completely when you are writing a PM. No biggy

Oh and when you update a page in the Admin Area, it goes to the top of the list (but doesn't change its page number)

Lioness mentioned the emoticons being fully displayed when you write a PM - I also find they've taken the place of the html shortcut buttons (links, bold, italics, underline, actions, spoilers, etc.), which don't show up anymore.

the emoticons don't seem to be working for the locations setting, though i don;t know if thats just me

Oh - thanks, yeah that was a hack I'd done originally, so the way you see it now is the default way (don't ask me why they never thought ppl would want to format their PMs in the official build ). I'll fix these things up tomorrow or Tuesday (huzzuh, 4 day weekend!).
Lioness: Ooh, they've done that in Admin pages? Excellent, I'm glad they've made that change that'll make things easier.

You might need to show me how to do that later

Okies, have hacked the send pm so it now shows the text formatting icons.

MK *hands over Min's Guide to Hacking PHP-Badly* I really wouldn't know where to start! I just find something similar to what I want elsewhere (eg, html formatting icons already exist in the forum template), scrawl the file to see what code is used to call it up, then see what happens when I put it in the PM file

Seriously though, that's very interesting - and hey it works Thanks for that Min!

Just FYI guys...another update to the site. The guys posted a security fix but it's mean a lot of core files were updated again. So, again, if you start seeing things not working the way they used to, please comment here. Or post it on the Help Board. It'll be fixed when I get time to fix it
Have already 'fixed'(/hacked) the PM utility to allow UBBC icons, this time.

Thank you all for the PMs - yes, I see the problem. I am working on it. In between...well, my paid job. So please be patient
Stupid bloody updates. Wish they'd just get the site architecture secure, already
