It seems like there might be a small inconsistency regarding the setup of the "news" and "key stats" boxes compared to the "user info" box in index.template.php.

newsbox.gif and keystats.gif are positioned 1px lower than userinfo.gif. If you find the following codes (in index.template.php) and change -16 to -17, it should be corrected though.

<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/newsbox.gif" style="position: absolute; left: -1px; top: -16px;" alt="" />


and

<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/keystats.gif" style="position: absolute; left: -1px; top: -16px;" alt="" />

I can't find this difference? In the release all three are set to -16px, and the actual height of all the 3  buttons are 18px. And it doesn't look misaligned either. 

I didn't see it myself until I made a copy of the default theme and started to play around with the settings in CSS.

It should be very easy to spot if you set it up like this:

/* This is for the special header boxes on the top (user info, key stats, news box.) */
.headertitles
{
   background-color: #000000;
   border: 1px solid #000000;
   height: 14px;
}
.headerbodies
{
   border: 1px solid #000000;
   background-color: #FFFFFF;
   background-repeat: repeat-x;
   background-position: bottom;
}

Just did a fresh install for a test forum.  Was gonna install all the mods I need and then copy the new release into my current forum.  I have no mods installed right now and while going through the admin pannel, I received the following error:

Quote from: error
Database Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '< 0
ORDER BY minPosts, IF(ID_GROUP < 4, ID_GROUP, 4), groupName' at line 3
File: ************/test_forum/Sources/ManagePermissions.php
Line: 201

I checked the min versions on my host and it seems I meet the requirements of the forum.

EDIT:

Also, when I click on profile, I get the following error:

Quote from: error
Table 'smf_test.smf_log_warnings' doesn't exist
File: *************/test_forum/Sources/Load.php
Line: 800

and as a regular user you get:

Quote from: error
Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.

sounds like a bug from my vWarn mod version 1.03, in which for some reason a bug I fixed in version 0.94 returned (but only for 11rc)... the "log_warnings" table is used in my mod, too. you sure you uninstalled all mods properly? :P

I know what happened, I think my ftp program was set to overwrite if newer, not overwrite.  Let me try again.

EDIT:  That's what happened.  Everything is fine now and running great!

Yes, its there, but only in IE, not in Firefox. And adding that value actually make FF show it wrong instead - likewise with Opera. It has been like this since 1.0 so I don't think it can be considered a "bug" really. Just a result of browsers (still) showing css slightly different.

Ahh... It's good to know it's my browser and not my eyes there is something wrong with :P I hate small imperfections like that, but I don't think it's enough to make me switch browser. Hopefully, it will be fixed in the next release of IE whenever that might be though :)

I installed SMF 1.1 on my test forum and I'm having problems getting the icons to show up.  All I see are underlined links.  I went through the options and couldn't find it.  This happened immediately after install.

Have you tried this:

Admin > Current Theme > Show buttons as images instead of text
That option is checked...

Admin -> Permissions
Click "Settings"
Check the box next to "Enable permissions for post count based groups".

that option is already checked.

Tnx for the update, everything was very easy and fast.
I only miss one option from 1.0.5 in 1.1 RC1

Warn members of new replies made while posting?

Is this not available anymore?
Just migrated from PHPBB to SMF, it's great.

It's moved to Profile -> Look and Layout Preferences and is now "Don't warn on new replies made while posting."

you most download update package from the previous version, except when you have mods installed. You can use the upgrade package too, but it's larger.
Use this if you have SMF 1.0.5 or SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public, or higher installed. Remember to run upgrade.php, and if you're not using English get the new language files.

That is impossible. Your SMF-files need to be the same as your database.

And if i point the smf 1.1 to the old database, can the 2 smf work with only one database?

erh... yes. :P

if you use different table-prefixes for the forums, they'll be independent, if you use the same, it's basically the same forums with the same content, but other software (for example if one of the forum installations has one mod installed, that does not necessarily mean the other does, too). Can't think of a reason why anyone would do the latter :P

2 smf versions (that is, a 1.0 version and a 1.1 version) can't share the same tables. Of course they can be installed with different prefixes, but if one decides to upgrade, the only way back is to use the backup.
