Ditto G6 :)
are the moderation buttons missing in this theme? i don't see anything to move the topic. i kinda wanna get it out of the FAQ section, as the question is already answered in the topic directly above this one.
Moderation buttons are to the right ------------------>
what i meant was, are SOME missing. the move topic one doesn't appear to be here? i see remove and modify and quote and all that.

Well... maybe it would be a good idea to actually send installation instructions along with the "product"? I've been searching how to install it for a while myself now and finally found this topic and now I still don't know the answer.
I know people in here aren't to blame for the crappy dictribution of TinyPortal, but I really think it s***s bigtime that it doesn't tell how to install! I'll be doin' a further search in this forum then... :-(
Yeah everything sucks considering its beta...
Your not likely to get much help with that attitude tinysucker.
I just did a 5 second search and looky what I found.

Just thought you might like to know.
JPDeni this link must be a link in a board only for the TP Team. IchBinÃ,â,,¢ could see it so he posted the link. It happens if you try to respond to many messages, especially if you have unlimited throttle as IchBinÃ,â,,¢ modelÃ, :laugh:
tinysucker you have the same question and an answer in http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=3470.msg52644#msg52644

My sincere apologies. I did not realize that this was the case. I'll paste the old "How To" for anyone following this post.
Some of this may be outdated so I apologize for that too. Proper documentation is well on its way.

My sincere apologies. I did not realize that this was the case. I'll paste the old "How To" for anyone following this post.
I understand how it can happen. Even as I am developing my site, I have to once in a while log in as a moderator and a member and then log out to see what guests will see. It's really easy to not realize what the different permissions actually mean.
All's well that ends well. :)
I don't quite understand why there are no instructions updated for 0.86 and why these instuctions are not included in the read me. (0.86 has been available since January 1)?
I'm certain including updated instructions would take much burden off this support forum.
I have uploaded all TP files to the SMF installation on the server, except for the fiive SMF 1.1RC2 files I have to edit. I'm having troubles editing /Themes/default/index.template.php as explained in another support post.
I was not aware of installing TP through the SMF package manager.
Is there a "manual "install" process?
Please at least make the install instructions a sticky please.
I don't know why but some times the most simplest and less time consuming part of a project is saved for last. Kind of like everyone wants to work on hot rodding the engine and suspension but no one wants to put air in the tires. I don't understand.

If you read through the posts, you had seen that TP V086 is a beta, that means there is no guide to set sticky, it's a trial version for the development until it is final.
The next release is quite near now, but that to is a beta version, but very close to the final, so Bloc is making a FAQ with all things there is to know about TP, also install guide with more.
You are just whining away about the whole thing, when you don't even read through whats this is all about.
You are a beta tester, we need YOU to test out diffrent things, not the other way around there.
If you encounter trouble, ask NICE and we will sort it together, if you demand the same things as from a payed script.
If you continue this way, and still see that you have the rights to treat us and the forum here this way, we will just stop helping you out, and you can seek what you want else where.
I'm sorry to say this, but it is like that here. Every one in here are doing this for free, in their own free time and for the love of it, if thats not enough for you, but to 6000 other happy users here, i think you might just find another way to get what you want.
Compare full versions with betas that are in a development stage isn't a very good thing IMHO
We have also given you directions and help through your questions, showed you the way, told you what to do, and still you treat us bad and this forum the same way, cause you think it should be like what you want it to be.
I'm sorry, but this isn't the way to go in this forum.
Does anybody know where I can find the "files_only" package?
Thanks in advance.
Ed.
Got it :D
