When you see the post controls greyed out - do you see the first button - the BBCode one? Make sure it's switched on. If that's not the issue could you take a screenshot of what you are seeing?
This has been confirmed as a bug - I've made some changes that *might* help. It's supposed to force the default theme if using desktop browsers but I'm not totally sure it's working. I'll go ahead and set your user back to the default theme.
Regarding Tapatalk - I just updated the server side app to the latest version. I don't see anything that mentions official support for this version of the forum software so let me know how it's working.
I upgraded the forum software tonight from version 3.3.4 to version 3.4.0. It's a pretty major upgrade with a lot of behind the scenes changes so please let me know if you see any issues.
EDIT: Also I've seen some reports of users not being able to post and getting a "post empty" message. Please try clearing your browser cache or doing a hard refresh (Control + F5 on Windows).
I actually finished building my new PC over the weekend - same motherboard as you. I have the two little fans for the board set to run in silent mode and I can't really hear them. Probably the part of the build I'm most happy with is the case - it's a Corsair Obsidian 550D. It's damn silent - using the same CPU cooler and same graphics cards as the old rig had and it's amazing how much quieter it is. I can actually walk in the room now and other than the power led I wouldn't know the PC was on.
I assume you'll be doing some OC'ing and ivy chips seem to run about 10 C higher than sandy bridge chips running at similar clock speeds. Still it's pretty easy to hit 4.5 ghz without much effort.
Hey everyone, I really do appreciate all the kinds words. Many of you mentioned wanting to donate, so I've gone ahead and added a little donate module to the sidebar on the right of the main forum page.
Any thoughts on the upcoming Schiit Audio Gungnir dac? Is their "adapaticlock" circuit really that unique or just good marketing? The rest of the dac (upgradable dac and usb) and fully discrete balanced output looks pretty good.
