Besides the slightly brighter (yet still shades of gray because I have no color coordination) color scheme, I've added and fixed the following things:

- There is now better UBB tag support. I'll be making up a list of all the new ones soon, but the coolest thing is probably that it auto-hyperlinks URLs and e-mail addresses now. brad@stripcreator.com wow, isn't that snazzy? Yes, it is! Also I added color tags against my better judgment.

- I think the multi-page blank page bug should be fixed. I'm apparently not very good at division.

- Quotes should have less of a gap underneath them.

- The preference/profile editing for the forums have been put into the main stripcreator account editor. Signature editing seems to work from there.

- There's also a "Display Forum Comics" checkbox in the preferences now, which toggles whether you see the comics people insert into their posts or a link to them. I'm defaulting this to "off" so that it might save a bit of bandwidth on casual users. So all you regulars that use it, just go flip it on and all should be cool.

- The jump to forum pulldown now jumps automatically without having to hit the "go" button.

- The forum list page now displays who the last poster in each forum was.

- HTML is now disabled in signatures. I think I had accidentally left it on before.

I'll be adding and changing a few more things soon. Comments, bug reports and suggestions are of course welcome. Thanks,

Brad.

Fixed the bug with the comic tag that caused messages to not display properly. All better now.

Looks like the problem's there the other way now. Thread "Comic Cup II" in "General Discussion" just went to a tenth page (reply no. 234), but the index still only lists 9 pages as available.

This feature is very cool. Could we get a similar feature within each forum that would indicate who the last poster in a given thread was?

Okay, I'm almost a hundred percent positive this problem is fixed now for good and forever. It wasn't my division after all. I was forgetting to add one to a variable. Yay me!

It's easy enough to implement, but the problem is space in the thread list. I may try shrinking the last post dates down or something.

Logging out now works, and if I now have three links in my sig, then that works too...
