    User Options

    In the good old days (before the Beta 2 was stabilized) we had a User options menu in the bottom right corner of the thread's page. Where has it gone?

    You can sort out your user stuff at the top of the page, click on a button called "user cp"

    oh and HB stop whinging!!!

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    Well ...

    Merlin, you have not understood my question.

    John, in the User options menu, we had options to lock/unlock our threads. After Beta 2, the User options menu has disappeared, so I can't find a way of locking my own threads if need be.

    Has this feature been disabled or missed out or implemented in some other way?

    And Merlin, you are free to abuse me, but go to Chit Chat for that. I am asking a doubt about a feature that was present before John implemented the Beta 2 of vBulletin, and if my memory serves me right, I had raised a similar doubt during the implementation stage itself. If you call that whining/whinging whatever, that's your problem. Or perhaps everything I do is whining for you, eh?

    Sorry John, I shall not spoil my posts in non Chit Chat forums again with such remarks.

    Honeybee:

    It should still appear, under the 'admin options' heading, in a little drop down combo box, in the same place that it used to appear.

    Does it not?

    Hey hey hey hey hey!

    Woah!

    Let's keep this thread on track about the problem that honeybee is having, not starting to slag each other off, or bring moderators into in.

    Honeybee, I'm waiting on your answer. I'm also just about to upgrade to vBulletin 2.0.2, so let me know if you notice any difference.

    John

    That's my fun over then

    So John, what improvements will we see in vB 2.0.2?

    BTW HB, look in the bottom right, you'll see an Admins combo...

    Well ...

    Yes, both John and Chrisjk, I have found the combo and the old options are there.

    Thanks for guiding me to the right place.

    And Merlin, I myself have stopped frequenting Chit Chat, so there is no reason for you to stop chitchatting if it is on my account. About the moderation stuff, I think the battle is over. And if some of my posts appear to be complaining, I am half the time only seeking the answer, not complaining. Perhaps that's because you see my posts in non-help forums more than others.

    John, about the differences with 2.0.2, I think the job must have been done yesterday itself, when Gaffer was having trouble. That's why I think you had pulled the site down last week, too. I have not yet noticed anything significantly different. Anything important shall be duly reported, of course.

    Well ...

    John, here is probably the first feedback on 2.0.2 The cute thing called "Who posted?". While viewing the list of threads, if you click on the number of posts (there is a link there now!), you will see which members have posted, and how many times!

    That's great!!
