why does the green arrow point backwards on the front wheel of the icon?
Is it telling me to get a fixed gear and ride backwards?

For all the whingers who posted ... try using the compatibility view in IE8 :thumb:

Thank you, Thank you and Thank you. This fixed my issues totally!!! now I can read in peace =D

Sadly this option is already checked. Using Firefox. Forum almost unusable given lack of wrappiness.

Just so you don't feel singled-out the plus sign is on the rear wheel, telling the fixies and SS-ers to "add gears" here.

people still use explorer? :lol:

I don't know if anyone is interested, but I've developed an alternate icon pack:

Someone else asked about the pixelations of the Avatars. It really sucks

nice work.

why didn't you call them bikons?

woodway's fix worked for the wrapping for me in IE 7
In IE 7 I am not seeing all the flame and add or subtract gears from SS type icons at all. Just the old bubble icons.
I just refreshed that view, though; and now have the biking lizards - odd.

Oddly enough - I do see them on my blackberry. The lizard bike riders that is, but not the flames.

Ok, bikons they are.

May be BF should have the ICONs contest. I am sure there are bunch of amateur and pro graphic artists here. BF admin can put out the specification/requirement, then let BF members vote for the best work. A small gift prize for the winner would be nice.

Worked for me as well.. IE 7.0.5730.13CO on XP. Thank you so very much. BF is readable again.

Been around since 2001 - I didn't even notice all the things so carefully pointed out here. Seems to work fine for this 71 year old guy with his 6 old IE XP computers!! WTF??

a 71 year old codger using "WTF?"

what's the world come to?

Don't know - except my computers seem to work and yours don't! :)

Thank you, that did it and in fact after reading your post I remember this same issue on another forum a couple years ago.

Word wrap does not seem to work for messages. Anyone know a work around?

Deleted.

IE?

What the hell is wrong with you people?

I heard some people don't have a choice at work. Could be a rumor though.

Used to be that the "notification" bar for new PM's was yellow, and easily seen. Now, it's pale blue and easily missed. It's a small thing, but I think it was better when it was yellow.

I need help when I click on post a new thread I go to a new page and a blank white page at that and can't post anything-PLEASE HELP

I fixed the text wrap issue by clicking "Forum Actions" at the top of the page, selecting "General Settings" and then towards the bottom, changing the Message Editor Interface from "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing" to "Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls".

It looks like we're sponsored by Ronsonol (lighter fluid brand).

I just made my 1st post in a few daze and the reply window went ZING clean over to the right, almost thought I lost it, refresh didn't change that.

The old icons were plenty fine. There are still boards running v.3 and the only real difference was the attachments manager.

Which was still closing on me when I tried to add pictures a week or so back anyway.

Oh well, it'll get there eventually.

XP SP3 IE8 768mb P4 2.2 GHz Compaq Presario P8656E using onboard video (SiS 650)

Fixed.

So I noticed. Thanks!!

so whatever changed in the last 24 hours has completely ruined my ability to view the forum with IE6. :(

Yeah, I know, it's not even a supported browser anymore, but I'm forced to use it at work, and they recently cancelled a planned upgrade to IE8.

Basically, I see a brief flash of the thread listings in the subforum and then I get a white screen with only the number of pages and the little green box indicating that I've posted in a thread showing. No titles or anything else.

Everything's fine in Safari.

Me too. IE6 at work as well.

no changes since yesterday...

anybody????
