Hi, I don't know how long my hiatus was (I missed the chance to be a GalCiv3 Founder), but I'm quite sucked into that game. Doing some typing related to the beta 1.7 made me start looking around at stuff and I have to forum functionality questions: 1) If the Forum Issues board deliberately not available at forums.galciv3.com or am I just failing to read the screens properly? 2) Is there now a policy that locks threads after a period of inactivity? I hit My Posts and saw all my o...

I appreciate the value of a refit as part of getting ready for release, but the change to a black background for the forums is awful, at least for readability. The new home page looks sharper and the black is OK there because it isn't a big reading thing.

But when I ran the search from Google proper and added the site:forums.elementalgame.com delimiter, I got four hits for four different threads, including the one I wanted to find. That seems a little broken to me, but I'...

There's a very long thread page in Elemental Ideas. When I try to view it in FireFox, the last bits of the last post are cut off and there is no reply box nor final page boilerplate (other than the (c) block, which looks to be outside the table that contains the posts & reply box). When I view the page in Opera, I see all the text of the last post, and the page bottom I'd expect to see without being signed in.
