Thanks Salt6! The chat room works again! Is there a way to make the flashchat button a little more noticeable, and does the new software display who's in the chatroom like the old software did? The new button doesn't have any blinking lights, fireworks, or cool huge explosions to draw anyones attention. Maybe you could rename it "Live Gun Chat Room" instead of "flashchat".. more descriptive. Or maybe "Tom R Bash-o-rama Room", or "TC's Doghouse" or sumpthin.

Actually a hitlet is an inside joke between me and TC that just means a typo (typed hitlet once instead of hitler..) The name stuck.
For details, ask Tomcatshaas. (WTF does Tomcatshaas mean anyway? Is it Norwegian for a tomcat house?)

just figured he's a pimp :shock: using his business name for a user-name, I always thought he just ran out of spaces available for letters.

Regarding the new software, I am mostly unable to see who posted a message, because the username letters are the same color as the background. It's only when I highlight the box and get a reverse image that I can see who posted the message.

Can this be fixed?

Jbaum yes it can be changed. Go to USER CONTROL PANEL on the top left of the screen (assuming its not moved) then click on BOARD PREFERENCES from the left hand side options list . You should now be in EDIT GLOBAL SETTINGS, if not select from list on left hand side. Select MY BOARD STYLE (4th from bottom) and from the list select MG42GREY. Click on SUBMIT and you should be ok

longhorn109. I say old boy, are you using the stealth feature? I can't read your post. Or are you using black letters against a black backround. You Brits are a crafty lot. What?

Yeah, but you can only go so low. After that you're a menace to society, and life-threatening to little old ladies.

Is there a way to change the default size of the screen? I have a 19" monitor running 1280x1024 resolution, and this board is only 9" wide on my screen. It has a black bar on each side that's 3" wide, and the text is so small it is barely readable. It's like I'm looking at a 13" monitor, because that's all the screen area that the board uses.

Jbaum.. try pressing CTRL and the + key to make the text bigger, Keep pressing the + key to make it even bigger. CTRL and - makes it smaller. Hope this helps.

Am I being a bit thick (no answers please!) but where has the rank list gone. I was wondering how far it is to the next promotion.
