I've noticed from several PCs and in different user accounts that at times when you try to bring up www.swforums.net, the portal doesn't show, only a page that says "Powered by vBulletin."

This is Jeseth, btw.

That is typical when using Text-Based Style sets. I still haven't created the templates for that style set yet.

I will add Portal templates to the text based style sets soon.

Oh, alright. That also explains the difficulty logging out using Text Based sometimes...

If you look at the topic below this one, that may explain your log out problems from some PCs.

I'm not sure if that would be it... I cleared all of the cookies on one PC, and deleted the temp internet file, and the only way I got it to sign out of the account was to switch the default style sheet to something other than Text-Based...

One more thing I noticed under Internet Explorer: when you go and view a users profile, where it says "Status:" in Text-Based it shows a snippet of HTML code that says "border="0" align="middle">" right besides the number of stars a user has.

I just used the log out feature in a Text-Based Style and had no trouble. O_o

Which style was this you were viewing someone's prodile in?

Also Text-Based. As for that problem logging out, it happens only on one of Morgan's PCs. I don't have that problem on mine, but I noticed it and figured I should mention it just in case.

It doesn't look to be a widespread problem since I am unable to re-produce it. (The log out issue)

As for the user profile problem, it was a mistake in the template that I have now fixed. I have also set it up so that the portal now appears in the text based style and is as close to Text-Based as I can make it.

Thanks for bringing these issues to my attention. With so many styles its easy for me to miss little things here and there. :)

No problem at all. I appreciate the prompt assistance. This place still beats the crap out of Ezboard even in the support department.
