It's hard to say. It's been a long time since the last great LCD deals. The most likely time would be in about a month as Dell gets close to the end of their current fiscal quarter.
I don't know how easy that would be to change - it's not an option that's built-in right now. The userpage thing is a hack coded by just some regular person - it's not an official vB feature. They do plan on upgrading it soon, so maybe that will be an option when the next version comes out.
Yeah I noticed that PM thing as well. Usually it takes so long for it to guess that I've typed it out already, but it's good for those people with really long usernames.
There is a link to the user page in the user profile in the upper right. It shows for everyone so if they don't have a page set up it will tell you. You can also view the member pages of anyone who's created one by clicking on the "Member Pages" link in the top blue navigation bar.
It must have been the little "microstats" at the bottom of the page (page generated in X.XXX seconds....). Instead I just have that shown for us admins now since it's really not an issue for you guys.
I've been using it with both IE and FF all day without any of those problems. What happens? Does it just not allow you to click on it or do you click on it and nothing happens?
hmmm. doesn't happen for me. the chat program doesn't "officially" work with this new version of vB yet so maybe that is the problem. most likely the next chat version should fix that.
when you log in, you do get to the chat room though, right?
Also, if you want to link to your userpage somewhere (either on here or elsewhere), you can also use this easy-to-remember format: http://forums.gottadeal.com/outnumbered (obviously replace it with your username)
