The readme.txt is in the file directory included in the downloaded files. I verified it was there. Additional information can be found in the file download description and the support topic for the file itself.

Knowledge Base Hi and welcome! You'll be glad to know that you're not the first one to ask these questions. Luckily the great group of guys here have put together a wealth of information covering a wide range of topics and specifically what you're looking for. Take a read through the Begging Modder Section of the KB (Link Above).

There's a patch for the editor not preserving line breaks as described. So this will be fixed in the next board update (probably a week or so). E

Internet Explorer only plays by their rules they really don't care about standards compliance just patching their code base from exploits because they in their infinite wisdom decided to make the graphics engine part of the kernel. [/rant-off] I'll take another look. E

What browser are you using? I can't replicate this in FireFox. Erik

Thanks for the clarification it wasn't was I was thinking so glad I asked. As for the other boards I've got my hands full here, thanks though.

So what exactly are you saying? I'm fairly adept at reading between the lines and I'm not sure I like the innuendos here. Some insight would be helpful. Thanks.

I've released the skin set for use with the OFF Forum. You may also select this OFF Skin to use as your primary skin on the rest of the site by using the skin selector tool located in the lower left corner of all pages. This will allow you to view the entire CombatACE site in the OFF branded color scheme. The remainder of the skin odds and ends like colors in the editor, etc I'll see if I can get Fates to handles so I can move on to more pressing things.

The OFF Skin for this forum will return. Otherwise spending countless hours on the OFF skin would be pointless wouldn't it? But hey I'm cool with answering posts instead of working on it.

All thank-less work. So far I've got about 23+ hours into the OFF Skin for just this forum and my patience is . Tell me again what sucks? I forgot. The skin was removed because variables in the old skin settings were causing issues. This is true of all the skins with the exception of the main skin you see now which I previously converted. Have you noticed since the old skins have been removed the site is stable and online again? Just tell me which option you prefer and I'll be happy to offer you my solution, which just happens to be the only one.

Mike is close. It's in the same menu as he mentioned just not at the bottom it's nearer the middle.

It's not you. It's something that a fix is coming for. Thanks for the report, nice to have the feedback.

So we don't loose this thread in the masses, I've gone ahead and started a Combat-Helo section of the site. I made two forums, developer news, and general discussion. Of course this can be modified depending on needs. I also promoted Alphadelta to moderate those forums so he can post in the developer news section since members can't. I hope Combat-Helo uses the forums here to their full benefit and we can support their venture full-fold. Erik

Subscriptions Link above. Since this is a rewrite of the code base running the downloads I'm at the mercy of the forum software developer. They are aware of the problem and a fix may come as soon as the next release but there are no guarantees. The other obvious solution is to turn your download manager off, uninstall it, or change to a browser like Firefox which doesn't have a download manager installed in the stock distribution. Again the problem isn't the downloads or how the files are counted but how the files are requested in ranges by browser download managers / accelerators. Sorry for the hassle, again, but we're on it. Your input is valuable, thanks for reporting this issue. Erik

Yes, that's exactly what I'm seeing in the logs. 2 counts sometimes 4 counts for the same file caused by the download manager.

Yup. Just to double check I ran a report and it shows 2 sometimes 4 downloads of the same file which is how the download managers are showing up in the logs. I'm pretty certain if you look at your download history here: My Downloads you'll see the same thing. Erik

I just finished upgrading the site software and one of the issues still being resolved is the download manager. Some of the issues being worked on include the use of download managers (accelerators). This applies to a lot of members who use Internet Explorer and have a download manager installed and probably don't even know it since it's a common add-on to IE. Specifically what happens is the browser opens multiple download requests for the same file and each request is logged as a downloaded file. All techie talk aside it's something I'm aware of and it's being worked on. It should also be mentioned that it's an issue taking high priority right now. Your input is important and we thank you for that. Erik

Please test and report. Thank you.

Among all the million changes happening today signature images are going to finally get under control. I don't mind seeing images in signatures but when they get to be the whole page that's too much. I did remove your signature and will be limiting the image size for all members to something reasonable. This isn't anything new it's been something I've been meaning to do for awhile now just never had any reason until today. Thanks for the help keeping our board reader friendly. Erik
