Not really bugs, so I'm posting here.

You last visited: Today at 21:36 : You Have 7 Unread Posts

This used to have a line break between, like this:

You last visited: Today at 21:36
You Have 7 Unread Posts

Also, having the activity stream page and iSpy is redundant. One of them should go, and I vote to kick the stream if it's possible

[Rebound]

First thing fixed, second thing i think you're right. But better ask staby first.

[Instab]

yeah my vote for keeping ispy, too

You humans are all the same. Always thinking only of yourselves. Humans ought to be a controlled substance.

Is there a way to make an addition to the shoutbox settings so that upon logging in, the shoutbox is not in full view always. To my knowledge there isn't any setting to have the shoutbox minimized permanently when selecting to go to the 'Forum' tab. I'm not talking about the small reducer tab (or arrow) in the upper right corner of the shoutbox that reduces it temporarily, I mean permanently within one's profile settings.

i'm afraid not. but there is an option to disable it for you completely.
that aside activity stream should be gone now

Do you mean it can/could be disabled on a member to member basis??
If so, I don't think that is really what I was after. It's just that I find that the loading of the chat box dialogues seems to, at least in my own experience, slow down the loading of the Forum tab page entirely.

exactly

no doubt there, the forum index page is way too fat. alternatively you could try the archive http://www.sb-innovation.de/archive/

I can still see it if I go to activity.php...

Ya. The archives I"ve tried before on the odd occasion. The disadvantage that I find in using the archives is that a user would have to navigate through all the sub-forums to find out what's new. It doesn't have the 'new posts' tab as is readily available on regular index page. Let me think about your idea to having the chat box disabled permanently for my profile. I'll let you know in a while.

By the way. The 'What New"> New Articles. This thing has never worked. What was it's original intention if I may ask??

EDIT: I see you disabled the chatbox as it does not pop up and slow down the loading of the page when I select the Forum tab. Actually, I do like it better myself now. Thanks Instab.

You can always bookmark that link and check the new posts that way.

sure, as far as i could see there is no official option to just turn it off so the only way is to get rid of all traces

By the way. The 'What New"> New Articles. This thing has never worked. What was it's original intention if I may ask??

and that wasn't just because we don't have new articles very often?

you're welcome but i did nothing

of course that's the way to go. i did it like that since my first visit

I have a pretty long URL bookmark I used to filter the German section, back when Snitlev posted like crazy there!

Nowadays I use the regular link, as overwhelming activity is sadly no longer a problem.
