Not sure the exact workings, since MediaWiki and SMF are both huge, evil monsters, but it's quite possible the realname only updates when your session refreshes.  You can manually change the real name field in the wiki options to force it to sync with the forums if you really want.

Think I found a MediaWiki extension that does what you want.  Not sure if the link will point to the correct realname user page though?

It wasn't quite that, as apparently the dl wasn't opened properly in the right place either.  Seems to be sorted out now though!

I have a map too, and my own profile shows fine for me.  But then I'm not an ordinary user (not that you are either, but you don't see quite as much as I do).  This actually happens on both themes too.  I'll have a poke around in the code, see if I can work it out.

That seems to have worked.  Thanks, Peder!  CSS is confusing

Well selmiak's only complaint specifically about the scrollbar being visible, so that won't make much difference.  What we really want is to remove the top 1px border, but still have the top navbar items fixed in the same position on every page...

I've done it again.  Take a look at the 'ags', 'community' or 'games' pages, compared to the front page.  The top navbar entries shift around a bit, which they didn't do when the top border was there.

Okay, so apparently the border was somehow keeping the top menu bar fixed in the same place.  When it's removed, the menu bar items float around by a few pixels depending on how wide the page is.  Which looks really silly!  Any ideas?  CSS is such a pain, with everything being positioned relative to something else.

Web Developer works here, if that helps.  It's good too.  .fullWidthMainWrapper did it though.

on the mainpage the link to the News Archive >> doesn't have the >> included in the link while everything else has it in. Damn you OCD!!!

Fixed.  Although CJ seems to use >> to mean random things.  Some random links have it, when it generally means 'expand in page'.  I'll go through at some point and make it uniform.

also there seems to be a 1 or 2 pixel high line on the very top of the mainpage that makes the scrollbar appear even though it is not needed. Then again this keeps the main page aligned and indented like on all the other pages. Still strange though.

If you can work out where that's coming from, I'll fix it.  I had a fiddle, but I can't work it out.  The main problem with inheriting a design someone else created!

get rid of the style="display block" and replace it with colspan="3". Looks better!

The display:none is required for the hiding and showing of the nominees div.  Regardless, I had to rejig the way it's laid out, for reasons too boring to go into.  I also made the arrows swap directions.  It all looks pretty smart now, thanks for the suggestions!

Suddenly the "See the people who made this game and any other games they've worked on >>>" dropdown doesn't seem to work anymore

This was caused by an unforeseen consequence of selmiak's suggestions.  Should be fixed now though.

I got distracted halfway through (by going to bed!) and didn't finish this yesterday, and have been busy all day today.  I'll take another look when I get the chance.

Someone broke teh game search:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /var/www/ags/index.php on line 3288

Fixed?  Gimme some info, man!  Search terms at least.  The line number will probably have changed, since I added a load of completely unrelated code earlier.

I'll fix the search terms thing you mentioned before when I get the chance, but I need to make the data uniform, which is more of a job than you might think.

It's probably because characters are escaped in the database, but the search strings aren't.  I'll fix it... eventually!

Who mentioned CSS? SMF uses different chunks of HTML and PHP depending on which theme you're using.  For every tiny tweak I make to the forums, I have to make the same change to the AGS and AGSCompact themes' files (PHP, CSS, JS, whatever).  It's quite easy to forget to update the AGS theme, since I use the AGSCompact one myself (and vice versa sometimes!).

But silly me IS using the compact theme
But it's fixed now

Strange, because I didn't change anything on the compact theme today, only yesterday!  And since it's PHP, it can't have been your cache.  Weiiiird.  Oh well!

the link is better now, but there is still AGS mentioned twice in the titlebar (of the browser).

Oh yes.  I always forget so many of you silly people aren't using the AGS Compact theme.  Fixed now?

Hmm.  Well if you can give me a complete list of where they appear, I can make them like this one.  Otherwise I'll be forced to change this one for consistency's sake!

Where else does it appear?  Haven't really noticed.  Probably been using these forums for so long I've tuned them out.

Or the Aylesbury Grammar School, according to my UK biased Google.

Anyway, I've now got the top image back in at last, and that links to the main site.  I even put the collapse element button back in for anyone who thinks the logo is making their screen too long for comfort.
