What do you know about the RUMBLE ROOM is it gone forever and ever or is it simply lost to resurface later?

Are you working on a new skin? This background is at least to me very distracting ... or overpowering.

Its still there. You just need to have access to it. I think Josh is working on this problem already.

They are probably not showing on your screen. For me they show up in the forum index where they always were. You are not being a dunce, there is some kind of weird problem with the user groups. Some people can't see them at all, and others can access groups they are not members of.

Do you see a blue bar that says private forums usergroup required? If so try clicking on the plus sign on the right side.

No It's here. Click on "View Forum Leaders" at the bottom of the page and you will see a usergroup list for it.

**Leebetter** · 08-29-2006, 10:24 AM

Wow!!!!!!!!!

**MAVERICK** · 08-29-2006, 10:25 AM

Thanks again Lucidus .... I guess I am part of the weird problem! Then again you always knew that!

Nope no Blue Bar with that says Private Forums! Nothing in the Indes ........ but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last month.

However I have found the RUMBLE ROOM by clicking on the New Post Link at the Top of the Page ... trickery and chicanery that's the ticket!

Everyone could help out by browsing FREE vBulliten skin websites for a new skin. Just type FREE vBulliten skins into Google and look through the galleries. Even if it is not the right color, that can be fixed.

Most posts are auto-sized for my screen but a few are so wide that you have to scroll back and forth to read them. Is there something I can do to resize this or is it something the poster is doing?

**Geaux Saints** · 08-29-2006, 10:37 AM

This isn't really anything NEW, but I still don't know how to make a link without showing the URL. For instance, if I wanted to link myopenforum.com but just show "Forum," what do I do?

**shiner4u** · 08-29-2006, 10:37 AM

What's up with the invisible status? You can still see everybody.

For some reason, some of the posters' rank (the bold under your username) has defaulted to "AdminFoodandEntertainment... (etc)" and is making the posts really wide. Josh will need to fix this.
