Thank you everyone, learning PHP and CSS had made me an insomniac some nights, but it's a lot of fun. Just a little polishing. I don't think the recent comments sidebar is very helpful either. Just out of ideas for what it can be. Maybe we can put a different more helpful feed up there, just need to think of what. For consistencies sake, it can't be fundamental to avsim (i.e. a navigation menu, helpful links, etc) because a left column isn't available throughout the rest of the site. I think I kept the recent topics on the right column because that's where it is throughout the rest of the forum--this way your eyes are trained and know what area of the page to go to see recent topics no matter where on the site you are.

I may add a goal sidebar to the forum somewhere to at least let everyone know our monthly fundraising goal, but I don't want it to be like "you bought Starbucks this morning when you could have given us that money" guilt trip sort of thing like Wikipedia does. I understand the need for donations, but the at times obnoxious approach other organizations take annoys me. In 19 years, the will and support of the people has kept us going. I have faith that this will continue as long as we maintain our infrastructure and keep it a fun and friendly place to be. Thank you for your support, Bill.

Unfortunately, I haven't found a fix yet. I think I'm going to have to resign to the fact that if I want to have a nice, evenly spaced and aligned front page, I can't do the two column news... IE11 just refuses to play nice. Unless we force everyone on IE11 into compatibility mode, which seems a bit of a stretch. Just frustrates the hell out of me that IE has to always do something different. Will keep playing, but until I find a solution, I have put it back to the old layout.

Thank you, I'm going to keep this post up as I try and figure it out.

I'm having trouble getting our CSS to work on the front page for IE 11. Is anyone familiar with CSS that can help me? Basically the parent element is getting stretched by the child elements and distorting our front page on IE 11. Any other browser it appears to be OK. <style> .ipsBox2 { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; ; margin-top: -10px; } .ipsBox2 .item { flex: 1 0 250px; box-sizing: border-box; border: 1px rgba(32, 15, 171, 0.69) solid; -webkit-border-radius: 15px; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; padding: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative; } .item2 { flex: 1 0 calc(100% - 10px); box-sizing: border-box; border: 1px rgba(32, 15, 171, 0.69) solid; -webkit-border-radius: 15px; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; padding: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative; } @media (min-width: 1024px) { .ipsBox2 .item { max-width: calc(50% - 10px); } } </style>

I'm saddened to hear of Brian's passing. He was a very active community member, and always quick to support others. On behalf of the AVSIM family, we express our condolences and our community members are here to help you with identifying and figuring the value of his FS gear. RIP Brian Please let us know if there's anything the AVSIM staff can do to help.

Regarding mobile version, it thinks you're a PC because I disabled it. The mobile version is stock, and isn't compatible with any of our "more than stock" features. It's also not fair to advertisers because ads don't display on it.

Yeah... about that... It was an annoying little critter, I took it off. Thanks.

Hey everyone, yeah, sorry about that... We added the feature back on the main forum page that shows you the topics you've participated in as well as recent topics. I figured it was redundant to have another set of "recent topics" showing the same info on the right column. After realizing it was helpful to have it site-wide, I put it back. AVSIM's getting better all the time thanks to your feedback.

I brought back the "Topics I've Participated In" hook. Regarding the notifications, I've "followed" this post to see if I get any e-mails notifying of a reply. I have been receiving notifications of replies, so not sure why you aren't getting any. When you follow a topic you have options of how often you're notified (instantly, only when not online, daily, weekly). Are you certain you have chosen the desired time frame?

Yeah, we know what you mean. Our IT guy has been scratching his head quite a bit trying to get the update to work in our sandbox environment. What makes it even harder are the all the apps that don't like to play nice with new versions. It's like an iPhone update where half of your apps don't work yet with the new iOS.

Bert, You may have accidentally deleted your messages. This requires multiple steps though (checking the box to the right of the PM in the inbox, clicking the delete button). There's nothing we can do to bring them back short of restoring an entire back up (eek!).

Hope it comes with a warranty.

Hi Marco, When did you purchase from AVSIM? Did you try looking here? Client Area

Please try now, should be fixed.

Let me make our IT helper aware. Thanks for the info!
