I've changed the sound code in response to the reports on sound delays. If you suffered from this please let me know if this has changed things for you, better, worse or no change.

In addition a couple of small changes: PM window now shows a star before the name if there's unread messages (you need to focus the window to let the system know you've read it).

I've also combined the user details (age, sex, location) into the first box on the member page. The two areas for member details weren't really necessary.

Apologies that I had to reset everyone's chat height; I added a new option "Default" to the chat heights, which is what occurred before, eg adjusts between sizes "1" and "2" to fit best according to the available area.

There is no change is sound for me? Is that good or what?

Good updates.

Loving the little star next to people's names!

And being able to click people's names when they get an announcement. Very neat!

I think the details looked better seperately though, even though it wasn't necessary.

AND we can't post more than 5 smileys anymore!!

I think the sound has just been updated so that it doesn't delay anymore (like it used to sometimes).

yeah totally agree, im liking the updates but i liked how we could post more than 5 smileys and i think age, sex, location should be how it was before.

Some nice updates

In particular I like the star on PM window

Also to be able to click on name in announcement, it makes it a lot quicker to congratulate people on their achievements

I feel it was clearer to see ASL details before but I'm sure I'll get used to it

The amount of smileys allowed, I know it always used to be 5 but is there a problem with allowing more (space on server etc) ??
As there has been some very creative use of the smileys since an indefinite amount were allowed.

Just wondered

like the new updates but the 5 smiley 1 i hate..

dony know why but my slpoilers and bold's dont work on about me

EDIT: its working now, i had 2 many smileys and had 2 take some of

The sound changes are intended to reduce the delay some users experienced. If you were happy with the timing of the sounds before, and are still happy don't worry about it.

Regarding the ASL, one of the main motivating reasons was for when someone didn't specify it it shouldn't be shown, ie using space to show "unspecified" a number of times on people's profile - if someone doesn't specify them it is better to remove this box completely. The second box was may have been down to a single line if the user didn't specify anything - hence it was logical to combine it.

There was a fault in the previous code which didn't check the limit for 5 smileys. I don't mind increasing this but there has to be a some limit.

the delay it sound has improved allot, i never really had a problem with the sounds until the countdown timer came on and it was jumping allot. seems to be working fine now, nice one!

yes nick thanks its alot better

I like being able to pull up a pm box with someone when their announcement comes up, very nice!

Please do!

Nick is there any chance we could have a max of 15 ?



Of course only my opinion !!!


And what about a "Confused smiley" ??

I reckon the black ball should be made into something like this:

or this:

Yup, defo need a confused smiley in my opinion. As it is, in my opinion the black ball adds a hint of sarcasm to a comment which isnt really needed.

hmmm the * doesn't come up on a minimized PM window ......

OK - new snooker sounds have been added. They're sampled from an actual game.

Smileys have been updated to 10 for now.

Great updates, but could we have an option for the old sound? I much prefer that.
