If you hover your mouse over the title you will get a preview.

Not everyone repeats the title on the first line of the post.
An example is

"Top 300,000 have almost... "​

The preview shows:

"http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/29/

It's very sad that we have 300,000 people who can collectively buy out 150 million Americans, and yet 45 million..."​

It depends on what text in the first part of the post.

I will extend the titles a few more characters.

Thank you for whatever you are able to do.

Thank you for whatever you are able to do.

OK, so here is what I did.....

I shrunk down the font on the active threads title and that allowed me to dramatically extend the characters before title truncation. (that sounds scary)

You like?

Knight,

I notice that the TOL page doesn't take up the entire screen. There is about 3-4 inch on each side on the screen where there is just light blue empty space. Is that how it is supposed to be?

That depends on the resolution of your screen settings. The width is 830 which is actually wider than many screen resolutions.

Have you tried the two other styles??? (they expand to fit your screen)

See the pull-down menu at the bottom of the screen.

Did you change the format to grape (expanded) from TOL DEFAULT (fixed width).
There is a format switcher on the bottom left of the site.

That did the trick! The TOL page now takes up the entire screen. :thumb:

Hey Knight,

Squeaky is having problems.

I ran across 5 or 6 posts of his that say something like this:

Can anyone tell me what stylelen LI means? When I click on Religion I get a blank screen with stylelen LI on it.

Hey Knight,

I ran across 5 or 6 posts of his that say something like this:

Hmmm.... I have no idea what that might mean.

Sounds like something on his end.

Hey Knight!

Yesterday I had 7500 posts and today I have 6579!

I was demoted from two star general after only one day!
I liked being a two star general! What happened?

Yesterday, we did some final pruning and thread/post recalculating - post UPGRADE.

I went from a 4 star general to a 3 star general! :madmad:

Two Questions, Knight:
1] What happened to my smiley?
2] Why can't I edit my signature? I can't have my spinning sig now, , but when I tried to delete the text it just says, "BBCode size is not allowed."

Two Questions, Knight:
1] What happened to my smiley?

You mean the one in your signature?

If so... non-subscribers can only use smilies that are in TOL's smilie selection. Non-subscribers can no longer attach images to their sig.

2] Why can't I edit my signature? I can't have my spinning sig now, , but when I tried to delete the text it just says, "BBCode size is not allowed."

If you are trying to make really big text we have made it so people cannot put huge text in their sig. I think size "3" is as big as you can go now.

I mean the one that was bought for me, by Nineveh, and made by Lucky. The code is not working.

I didn't change the size at all. I just tried to delete the text of the url of the image I had before the changeover.

Clete, if you wouldn't spam so much and post stuff with substance, you wouldn't have so many posts trimmed! Yeah right.

Your smilie and 1Way's smilie got corrupted.

I re-uploaded them, they should be fine now.
