How does everyone else feel about removing the custom right click menu? Also, I've reverted the new WC skin back to the old one in the forums. The new one isn't supposed to apply until the new WC site launches. Bara

It works in every other forum I've ever been to, why not here? Some of us never use keyboard shortcuts. not being able to right click copy and paste is a huge drag. Question 3 was..

[quote who="Filthgrinder" reply="5" id="2585064"]Nice with the spell checker, I understand that Firefox will not spell check on these forums...Opera does however.... [/quote] And Chrome does too... sometimes. It's because of the TinyMCE editor, which uses a lot of javascript to get this editor working the way it does, so it confuses the browsers. The update I pushed was supposed to fix it according to the TinyMCE devs, but based on my testing it didn't. I'll do some

Played the demo on 360 and hit the time limit quite a few times. For some reason, I felt the game, while quite open, felt a little "empty." I'm not sure if I'd pay the full $60 price to get it. But I may pick it up for around $30. Bara

[quote who="kapeman" reply="8" id="2573757"]I have never understood why Stardock insists on developing their own forum software when there are plenty of open source solutions available that do everything right out of the box.

While there are forum packages out there written in .NET, they are generally either bloated due to having features we don't car
