    A tip if the "upload a file" button does nothing

    A fix has been created which will be rolled out in the next maintenance release of XenForo - this should be available soon, perhaps as early as tomorrow afternoon.

    Tildes displayed as dashes (again)

    I've had to revert back to the old font, as disabling it caused more problems than I was aware of an hour ago. I've submitted a bug report to Google Fonts, as it looks like some additional "font hinting" may solve the problem at 13px (out of the scope of my knowledge! :eek:). In the meantime...

    Tildes displayed as dashes (again)

    As an interesting test, we use Open Sans on this site: https://www.google.com/fonts Try typing a tilde in the preview box and then set the pixel size to 13px, that recreates the problem in most instances - odd isn't it!

    Tildes displayed as dashes (again)

    Yeah, sorry the zooming in won't do much with this new font - but I'd confirmed it on a few other machines. For whatever reason, the old font doesn't place nicely with tilde marks at a certain text size and some browser configurations. I'll leave the font like this for now, but there are some...

    "Electronic circuits" resource category

    The complexity rating idea is interesting, once we've got some more and start adding categories I'll take a look at that :).

    "Electronic circuits" resource category

    Yes, go for it :). It's designed for tried and tested circuits that may be of use to others. The resources section will have categories added and rearranged as we get more resources (so we've kept things very general for the most part).

    Tildes displayed as dashes (again)

    Scratch my last post, as I've tried this on a few systems and Open Sans at 13px/11pt seems to cause Tildes to appear as dashes on some systems - but enough that it would cause problems for people. Temporarily, I've disabled the Open Sans font on the site and switched to sans-serif. What do you...

    Tildes displayed as dashes (again)

    Well, this is very odd indeed. @KrisBlueNZ, can you try zooming in on those dashes (CTRL and +) and see if they change to tilde symbols? I think this bug is a little more confusing than I first thought and this should confirm it.

    Tildes displayed as dashes (again)

    Yep, it looks like a problem with the Open Sans font that we've got running. Others seem to have the same problem too and I can fix it by disabling Open Sans in the browser console. I'll see if there is a fix for it, either via encoding or by changing font, as this isn't supposed to happen.

    Tildes displayed as dashes (again)

    Hmm, that's a strange one. I think this may be a problem with the "Open Fonts" we're using. Let me do a bit of research and see what I can find.

    A tip if the "upload a file" button does nothing

    If you click the "upload a file" button and the image upload box doesn't appear, try minimising your browser to see if the upload window is behind the browser. @KrisBlueNZ reported this to me a few days ago and I passed it on to the developers of the forum software. It looks like it's related to...

    Great news Miguel, I've moved these posts for you :).

    Uploading Image problems

    Hi Miguel, I'm not sure what the problem would be as the error log appears fine. It could be that there is a problem with the image file itself and the forum software can't handle the upload - can you try saving an image from this site (perhaps the logo) and see if you're able to use that? I'll...

    XenForo 1.4 Upgrade

    Not my default, but I may be able to code something to do that. It seems quite illogical that there isn't one there, but I've suggested it to the developers on their site already. Let me see if there is another way :). edit: Just checked and clicking the username brings up the member popup...
