It must not have saved correctly. I'll do it again when I get home.

That was done about 20 minutes after you first posted it.

Are you 1000% sure? I wouldn't repeat myself if I would seen it done... and I do not see it done...

http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/Themes/default/css/index.css has no fix:

It was done when I got home, just as I said it was. 

td.windowbg2 img {max-width: 300px; height: auto; margin: 10px;}

Edited P.S. 

I had edited into the style.css, not the index.css.  Hopefully, it is fixed now.

I see the problem with thumbnails instead of images is solved now, great, thanks!

I'd like to ask though, will new PMs be seen now like they were before? The notification row no more exists, so will the new ones be shown in line with the major buttons (Home/Help/...) near 'My Messages' button?

That's why it didn't worked - as far as I can see only index.css is used on the site, not the style.css. :)

One or two puzzlers (including me) have mentioned that they'd like to see the puzzlers' country of residence back in.

Actually during the changes all those seem to have vanished from the Personal Profiles.  If individuals go into their profiles and enter it again then it will be displayed alongside their posts.  I've done that and as you can see it's there again for all to see!

Thanks! By a coincidence already saw that in action :)

And thanks, Carnut! Will add my info again.

It was picked up from something in our profiles that was there anyway (either "location" or e-mail address I suppose) - I never entered it as such and I can see nowhere that I could do so.

It's on the "Modify Profile" page, where one adds a profile picture, etc. I've added UK to your profile for you. Let me know if you'd like me to remove it.  :)

What's happened to the Autopuzzles clock ? It's 5 hours wrong by GMT. Or is it just me?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

You are correct.
I just  went to the settings page and clicked on auto detect and it corrected itself at least here in my time zone.
There appear to be some random "hiccups" once in a while.  I had to reset the notification field two days ago as the forum stopped notifying me.

I reset the clock to match the timezone of the guy who admins all the software and owns the site.

Me.

Adjust accordingly.

It threw me too earlier this evening but I adjusted mine as I figured something had happened.
I thought you were in California, Ultra?

I note the stars for the length of time puzzlers have been Members too.
Any other goodies coming along?!

Michigan boy, born and bred.  NE lower peninsula.

Otto and I are from the same state, met via forum a decade ago and started this place over 7 years ago.

We have never met.

Michigan is a big state.

Not necessary!  I see if you hold your cursor over the flag it tells you the country.
This is a very sophisticated site now!

Aha, yes.  I've been - I have a friend lives in Rochester Hills (and worked in Detroit).  Visited the Meadowbrook Hall concours d'elegance.

My son just returned last month from a year at Michigan State University in East Lansing too, so he's given me the run-down on it after visiting a bit of it, from the north shore down to Detroit and over to neighbouring state Illinois.  Sorry I didn't get to visit him whilst he was there though.  Another time!

I went to MSU for four years.

Grew up in the Metro Detroit area.  Grandma lived in Rochester.  Been to Meadowbrook.  We have quite a bit in common.

I don't want to nitpick here, I'm just very happy that the site is back in full force, but:

- I just noticed that the subtle 'Autopuzzles' watermark is no longer present.

- A nice addition for the stats would also be a list with the amount of points that each member scored.

Quite so.  I look forward to discussing further over a bottle of single malt should I ever make it back to Michigan!

I do enjoy my single malts...

I'm not gonna put the watermark back unless pressured to do so. I'll look into the points thing.

Enjoy!

Fascinating!
Since the details in the Member Profile includes the number of points they have, I'm surprised it's not included in the List of Members; if it was then just clicking on a 'No. of Points' heading would sort all members in order of the number of points they have...  Is that something that would be easy to include?
