New board bug reports/feedback (v6.5b1)

I don't like the way the main screen doesn't show anymore how many new topics and replies have been made since my last visit. I also don't like the way how this software doesn't automatically jump to the first unread post when clicking on a thread.

Apart from that it doesn't look half bad. It'll take a bit of getting used to but I guess that's only to be expected.

Thanks for all the trouble you went through to get this done.

Greetings!

Interesting... Very interesting...

It will take a little while to get used to. Not that it is really all that different, and I can tell the amount of effort you put into keeping it the same. Nice! Thanks again for all of your work with this.

One probably obvious thing. You no longer need the link to the Rio Receiver board in the header...

I don't like the way the main screen doesn't show anymore how many new topics and replies have been made since my last visit.

I queried drakino about this a bit earlier (I couldn't reply so it was via PM). I didn't hear back from drakino but it certainly looks like he fixed it to me.

Great work! I think everything turned out very well! I'm actually a fan of the "Quick Reply". I use it on other forums I belong to. Usually "Quick Reply" doesn't offer a preview or "Add signature", so those additions are nice. Maybe the quick reply text box can be made smaller to help with Roger's situation?

This is a great move for the community!

edit: d-oh! Looks like my signature needs some editing!

arrrggggghhhh I'm using black and blue style sheet which looks like absolute crap, too bright!!, looked nice and dark (blue) on the other board... I got this issue with the karma beta board too..
Anyway can get it to look like it did on previous board?

Also when I log in, and go to the main screen (main index) my style sheet changes to the default one and says I'm not logged in. If I go into another section i.e. off topic or general it's ok and says I am logged in and changes my stylesheet.

I agree that it will take some time getting used to it and if there's a way to have it show the new topics and replies since our last visit, please let us know, I miss that.

Yep, I'll add weight to that (A lot in my case!)

Hmm I think it's the stylesheets that cause it not to display new topics and replies since last visit.
I switched to use "Serene Silver" and "Default", and I could see new topics and replies, it also changes the "thread title" cell row colour to silver for unread, and blue for read. Although visiting a section with new posts and replies and refreshing or backing out without reading the posts will cause the indicators to disappear.

I cant see if it works with 'main index' since it still thinks I'm not logged in if I go there.. same thing in IE (shudder) too..

Using the color scheme that matched the old board's dark/purple style with larger fonts.
Stylesheet/HTML crappiness with this board version (same problem exists in most BBS software by default):

1. The following columns are CENTER justified instead of LEFT:

"Last Post" on main index view
"Poster" on forum index view
"Last Post" on forum index view

Please make them left justified. Way easier to read.

Next up...

2. New items in the forum index have their table cell background set to a really ugly color: It's a sort of grey-yellow (every new post in the thread and has its header this color). It would be nice to not change the color of the table cells and use only the typical icons to mark what's new or not.

3. Don't like the Quick Reply box being open by default. Some forum software keeps it hidden until a quick-reply link is clicked on.

4. "Extra Information" table at the bottom really big. I'd like the option to turn it off or just have it made smaller in the HTML template. Don't need board permissions nor the names of the moderators every time I open a thread.

5. Extended stats under each person's name for each post is a little repetitious and too much like so many other boards. I liked the fact the old board wasn't set up to display this info all the time (# posts and join date) - I suppose I can learn to like the location entry.

6. As has been mentioned before, can't stand the "jumpt to new post" icon and would strongly prefer allowing clicking on the title of the thread to jump to the first new post as the BBS supported before.

7. Moderator and Admin poster colors aren't working. I suppose some other special color groups may also be affected.

Tom, I can imagine the nightmare going from one version to a new version and jumping domain names at the same time. Doing well so far, good luck with the final small details.

All for now.

For me it shows there are new posts on the front page but when I click on the forum it doesn't show them. Also even after I read the threads if still shows the same number of new posts on the front page after doing a refresh.

I will really miss the feature to jump to the first unread post in a thread. I thought that was the best feature of the old bbs.

Coupla obvious notes. All the smilies are missing and showing up as broken image links in the posts. Unread topics are in a white table row which is really annoying. Here's what I'm seeing:

I'm still adjusting to the new software, but the only thing that seems in need of work is fixing the use of those white backgrounds for unread topics. Everything else, so far, seems pretty good.

I do like the way you can collaspe the areas that you don't care to read, that is a nice feature. And being able to change font color and have instant UBB code with a click of a mouse is also very useful, keeps one from having to look it up each time .

Ditto on having it automatically jump to the first unread post. One of the best features from the old forum. Should at least be an option in our preferences if not the default action.

I'll third or fourth the jump-to-new-posts-as-default idea. Also, the old BBS has different icons for new posts. (They were just different colors from the non-new icons, I think.) This would be nice here, too.

I also hate the quick reply thing. We've done a really good job keeping threads threaded properly and I wouldn't want to see that get spoiled. I vote for killing it altogether.

Someone needs to change their signature file

Good point. I'll do it in a sec.

Also, get rid of the "HOT!" icon. I don't need the BBS to tell me twice that there are a lot of posts in a thread. It also draws too much attention to the BBS during my work-time goof-off sessions.

FYI, for those with broken color in their sigs, the fix is to change
[red]foo[/red]
to
[color:red]foo[/color]

My feedback so far:

1. I would un-clutter the post/reply page. Get rid of the "Instant Graemlins" and UBBcode stuff.
2. I liked the old post icon dropdown box rather than the radio buttons that are there now. Again, less clutter.
3. I think listing the number of people viewing a particular forum is distracting and doesn't add that much value.

Those are my biggest gripes so far, overall things look pretty good.

in opera in linux, everything is center aligned.

and, posting images does not see to be working =)

I like the changes, and wouldn't really change anything but the horrible white backgrounds we're getting on some of the cells. Like someone said, I'd eliminate a change in background for threads with new posts. That will just get incredibly annoying.

Aside from that, I've got no complaints. It's funny to see Infopop incorporate some of the ideas from other board software like phpBB (the instant board code is something I've been wishing this board had - and I wish they had added the keyboard shortcuts for them as well).

Anyway, keep up the good work. I just beg that you go into the stylesheet for the classic board colors and just quickly change that background thing. It's hurting my eyes somethin' awful!

(ps- another little thing I like is that now it's only one tab from the text box to the post button. just a little thing, but that's how I post, so I like it )

From the "My Home" page, clicking either of the "Delete Checked" buttons for Post Reminders/Favourite Topics navigates you to the BBS front page afterwards.

Ideally, I think that the page should simply refresh after clicking the button(s).

I second or third that about the horrible white backgrounds. Way too flashy.

Every effort to fix this is much appreciated, thanks!

It's not actually an extra mouse click, though, and this may help Roger as well.

See, Roger has the problem that IE sometimes doesn't puick up the automatic jump to the first new post. In those cases instead of the annoyance he's experiencing with the End>PageUp>PageUp stuff, he could just click on the link at the top of each thread to jump to the first new post. Since he has to do it manually by the keyboard anyway, he might as well just use that link.

As for the other part, you have a choice now, which I like. Go to a forum and look at the threads with new posts. Now there is an icon just to the left of the thread titles. It is a seperate link that will automatically take you to the first new post. This just means that you have to focus your mouse clicks a little more, and it takes getting used to, but I like this better. It gives you a choice. Sometimes I want to see the information in the first post of a thread.

Again, this is how it works in phpBB. I wonder if they got it from them

I'm sure that this will annoy Bitt as much as it's already annoying me;

"Reged" is not a word. It is not even a common abbreviation for the word "Registered".

I could live with "Reg'd:", "Reg'ed:", or even "Reg.:", but not "Reged:"

Thanks!

Quick Links needs fixing - "Rio Receiver/Rio Central BBS" needs removing.

Is it me or have "My Home" and "Main Index" switched positions? I use the "Main Index" link a lot and preferred it as the first link.

1. The following columns are CENTER justified instead of LEFT:
Please make them left justified. Way easier to read.

I'll consider this. should be a simple change in the template files. (new concept in 6.x)

2. New items in the forum index have their table cell background set to a really ugly color: It's a sort of grey-yellow (every new post in the thread and has its header this color). It would be nice to not change the color of the table cells and use only the typical icons to mark what's new or not.

Color issues due to not getting the empeg and empeg2.css stylesheets fixed. Expecting that fixed in the next hour (to a better color). Getting it to work like the old biard will probably be a tad too much work.

3. Don't like the Quick Reply box being open by default. Some forum software keeps it hidden until a quick-reply link is clicked on.

Probably a setting somewhere. Quick Reply used to be a hack added to the boards (6.x), now it's integrated in 6.5. If that setting isn't somewhere, I'll request it. That should help Roger a bit as well.

4. "Extra Information" table at the bottom really big. I'd like the option to turn it off or just have it made smaller in the HTML template. Don't need board permissions nor the names of the moderators every time I open a thread.

Going to see what I can slim down in the templates. The extra info like moderator info is definitly not needed here. Ratings is already on my kill list, and going to (again) request an easier way to kill them like the single checkbox to kill user ratings.

5. Extended stats under each person's name for each post is a little repetitious and too much like so many other boards. I liked the fact the old board wasn't set up to display this info all the time (# posts and join date) - I suppose I can learn to like the location entry.

Probably a template change as well. I'm used to a flood of info from being logged in as an admin. What is everyone elses feelings on this? Hide or show the new stuff over there?

6. As has been mentioned before, can't stand the "jumpt to new post" icon and would strongly prefer
allowing clicking on the title of the thread to jump to the first new post as the BBS supported before.

I'm liking the choice granted by the new icon. Try aiming for it on the index page and see how that works for a bit. I'd like to do a wait and see on this instead of immediately trying to revert it to 5.5 behavior.

7. Moderator and Admin poster colors aren't working. I suppose some other special color groups may also be affected.

This got moved into the stylesheets and the empeg2.css lacks this. Again, will be fixed soon. Going to kill those damn A and M flags soon too. Not sure how to deal with the other special colors, will poke at it a bit more later.

Tom, I can imagine the nightmare going from one version to a new version and jumping domain names at the same time. Doing well so far, good luck with the final small details.

You forgot the merge process too, the bane of my existance yesterday when every thing that could go wrong practicially did, including a storm somehow knocking out a network that should never be down.

Good feedback thus far.

OK, all the polls have ended and cannot be accessed, Can they be restarted? Also I agree that My Home and Main Index needs to be reversed. I like the new board but it is going to take a while to get used to...

Let me just start by saying... God, I hate how cluttered the screen is on the new software. Tom, please do anything and everything in your power to simplify the screen layout. Anything that removes unnecessary crud on the screen is a good thing.

To that end, I just turned off the Quick Reply box by default. Because I could. And because others complained about it. I agree with the sentiment of keeping the discussions properly threaded even if everyone uses flat mode. I'm not sure if this is a global BBS feature, or if it's something that is supposed to be controllable per-user. I don't see a per-user option to control this anywhere in my options.

- OMFG, now I remember why I resisted switching to this software. Is there any way we can hack out all the rating crap? Again, useless clutter.

- I second the sentiment to hack out the "hot" thingy. Clutter.

- Top of screen still links to the old Rio Receiver BBS. That used to be something I had the power to change myself, but now I don't see it in the admin control panel any more.

- The Title bar text (the HTML page title of every page) is now all the same instead of different for forums and posts. In the past it used to say "Viewing a list of forums" or "Viewing a list of posts" or "<Post Title>". This was very useful because those of us who loved Tabbed Browsers could see, in the tab titles, whether you'd opened a tab for a list of posts, or opened a specific post. That meant that in a tabbed browser you could get the main screen and shift-click all the forums with new posts, go to one of the "viewing a list of posts" tabs, then shift-click all the posts on that tab, find the nest "Viewing a list of posts" tab, shift click all its posts, etc. Now all says "Unofficia..." for every single tab, regardless of whether it's a list or a post. So I can't see what is a thread and what is a post. So tabbed browsing is utterly fucking useless on this software now. How do we hack this back to the way it was before? Puh-leeeze?

- In the main forum list and in the lists of posts, it used to say (12 new) in a different color. Now it's an almost-invisible (12) that is much much harder to see. This is very important to me. All joking about robots aside, one of the reasons that I can keep up with the BBS during the day is because I wrote a VB program to blink a systray icon when a new post appeared on the BBS. This allowed me to quickly scan for new posts on the board, quickly reply if necessary, and then go back to work. The VB program did this by looking for the text " new)" and checking to see if that was preceded by a number. If so, blink the icon. Now that it doesn't say " new)" any more, my parser program can't work. If you've got an idea as to what else it could parse for, I could see about making that edit instead of asking you to figure out how to hack " new)" back into the BBS.

- Something else I do is that I clear my cache and cookies regularly. To keep me from having to manually log in to the BBS after a clear-out, I use a pre-formatted URL that includes the user name and password parameters already in there. For instance, for the old BBS, it was this:
http://empeg.comms.net/php/start_page.ph...mp;option=Login
Can I still do this? Any hints on what the format of the URL should be?

- DITTO DITTO DITTO DITTO at the top of my lungs to the complaints about it not scrolling down to the new posts any more. AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH!!! AAaaaAAA AaAA AGGGHHHHH!!!! OMFG THAT SUCKS SO BAD! Ahem. Ah. Okay, that's off my chest now.

- Related to the above, but much more egregious: If you click on a thread title that is multiple pages, and the newest post is on page 2 or later, it goes to page 1 instead of to the page containing the first new thread. That's not just irritating, it's downright broken, and lame to boot.

- I was reading a post about pronto CCF codes, and at the top of the screen above the post it said that the forum hierarchy for the post was: General -> Technical/Troubleshooting. But there is no forum with that hierarchy. Each product group has a technical forum, but not "General". So something is bugged about the part of the BBS that displays the thread hierarchy. I use this feature often. For example, in the case of reading a post about CCF codes, perhaps the user didn't specify which product he was asking for CCF codes for (he did this time, but let's say hypothetically that he didn't). So I might choose to look up at the top of the screen and see if he's in Empeg, Rio Receiver, or Rio Central.

- Hm. Previewing this post, there is a dotted line above my signature. I didn't type a dotted line. My signature is designed to look set-off from the post already, I don't need a poor-looking dotted line to set it off like that. I like mine better. Can that be hacked out too?

What he said!

Another thing... Can we ger rid of the Reged and make it say something else... Reged brings back bad memories etc... long story...

Sean in NC

Thanks for all the work on this Drakino. Don't kill yourself making all the tiny improvements at once... they can be done over time.

Darn, Tom turned the quick reply box back on. I say we decide this one with a cage match.

Trying to use a pre-built URL to log into the BBS like I did for the old one. I'm trying this:

http://empegbbs.com/ubbthreads/start_page.php?Cat=0&from=&Loginname=tfabris&Loginpass=mypassword&rememberme=1&firstlogin=1&buttlogin=Login

And I'm getting "all the required fields are not filled in". Any ideas how to make this work?

Tom, so far there have been some people requesting that there be no change in cell background for new threads and posts. It's very distracting. I request that we go back to the old icons for new post notification. At the very least, those white folders are distracting with the classic color scheme.

Another issue: I like to view the whole thread in flat mode. When I used to hit reply, it would go back to the full-thread view. Now, it goes back to just the last page. Grumble.

It's [ q ] [ / q ]

This was the equivalent of combining a quote with orange color, but I believe that has changed. I like how compact it is!

And I also like how there aren't unecessary new lines added to the end of a quote. There used to be at least two.

Quote:

---

Also, what's the "preferred" way of quoting somebody without getting this ugly "Quote" box?

---

I used to hand-code orange and italics, but I see others here get nice compact boxes with all the colors and such just so. What's the magic incantation?

One uses [quote] and the other uses [q]

Ahh, makes sense. Maybe this should be on the "Instant UBB Code" thing.

Can we turn off, or at least make user-settable, the thing whereby all off-board links open in new windows? Not all browsers have options for disabling this, and sometimes I forget to right-click links.

Peter

Okay, I see now that the table rows that contain new posts are a different color. That's not bad. I can probably get used to seeing that as meaning new posts.

However, I don't like the white/yellow new posts color indicators. A yellow light doesn't seem more or less on than a white light to me. Maybe if it was dark/white or dark/yellow. The same color scheme is used somewhere with folder icons, too. Any way to "fix" that?

Ooh. Wait. &ldquo;fix&rdquo; Did those quotes work? Nuts.

Hey, nice work on the new bbs launch. There are a lot of features that I am liking - like the view favorite posts toggle, for example, and the ability to collapse all the rio categories, etc...

Once thing that echoes a lot of sentiment, though. The main index page does seem very cluttered. I think one thing that might help right off the bat would be to remove the light bulbs on the left all-together. A lot of people mentioned them being distracting, and I agree. I think removing them will simplify the look of the page greatly. And, I'd then suggest re-implementing the (# new) text in the # of posts column for each forum. That was the way that I new that new posts had been entered, and it seemed to work a lot easier than the light bulb. Anyway, those are my suggestions. I think it looks great, though, and thanks for all the hard work!!

Okay, I see now that the table rows that contain new posts are a different color. That's not bad. I can probably get used to seeing that as meaning new posts.

I do not like the different colors for new threads. I might be able to get used to the different colors for new posts, as that could be helpful, but if you'll notice, there are two different colors for threads with new posts, depending on the alternating rows. This gets kind of confusing, particularly if you are checking the threads in a non-linear order.

However, I don't like the white/yellow new posts color indicators. A yellow light doesn't seem more or less on than a white light to me. Maybe if it was dark/white or dark/yellow.

I agree, but that might be a bit ugly. Dark white? I just want to get rid of those glaring white folders. Of course, now I can't even remember what those icons were on the old software. Whatever it was it wasn't as unpleasing to the eye.

It will take a little getting use to but other than that I think it's looking great!
Especially the new logo

It could of been just me but a found that my birth date was set to a default of Janurary 01, 2004. I'm not sure if it is because I never entered a date or what.

Keep up the great work!!!

Dark white

I mean dark bulbs and white bulbs, not dark white (gray?). Actually, yellow would probably be better.

now I can't even remember what those icons were on the old software

They were yellow and orange folders, where orange meant new stuff. I thought it was a good color scheme.

I understand your complaint about the alternating colors when you read out of order. I hadn't considered that. Maybe if the unread colors were a bit more contrasting to the read colors. Really, though, I think that the icons need to be different colors and that would help a lot. Actually, they are, but somehow, again, the white looks more like a mistake than an indicator.

If this post works, then an ongoing problem I've been having is fixed!

One thing I do miss is the "Last 24 hours", "Last 7 days" etc quick-links. I have found the Active Topics for the last 24 hours, which is nice, but I can't do the others. The search engine lets me specify 2 or 7 days but won't let me search with blank search terms.

Apart from that, the new board seems to be working well for me

EDIT - every time I click the "Jump to last unread post" icons I get something like the following -

"We cannot proceed.

Script: /home/drakino/bbs/empegbbs.com/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php
Line#: 786
SQL Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'AND t1.B_PosterId = t2.U_Number AND B_Approved = 'yes' ' at line 6

Any use?

*edit by admin to shorten URL*

there is a dotted line above my signature. I didn't type a dotted line. My signature is designed to look set-off from the post already, I don't need a poor-looking dotted line to set it off like that. I like mine better. Can that be hacked out too?

Ditto.

I too prefer the automatic jump to last unread post. The _vast_ majority of the time I'm not interested in re-reading all the posts. And on the _rare_ occasion that I want to read an earlier post in a thread I have no problem in a couple more clicks. We can always click to Page X on the topic list...

Another quirk that I've just noticed is that now the most recently-posted-to topic of each forum is listed on the forum index page, it takes the most recently posted topic header and not the original topic title. This doesn't make any sense to me. Whilst the ability to modify the topic in a thread may be useful, the original topic title is how we identify each thread, regardless of modifications. I think that the index should reflect that,

I also hate the quick reply thing. We've done a really good job keeping threads threaded properly and I wouldn't want to see that get spoiled. I vote for killing it altogether.

Uhhh... yeah. What he said.

tanstaafl.

Well, it's different from what I'm used to, so it can't possibly be any good.

I want to add my vote for making first unread post the default when opening a thread.

The only other problem I have is probably my own incompetence. I'm pretty sure I used to be able to configure the old bbs so that it did not put the column down the left side of the page showing the posters name, his avatar, etc, and now I can't figure out how to do the same with the new software. I don't like to give up all that screen real estate to (mostly) blank space.

Am I missing something obvious?

tanstaafl.

i remember that one could turn off the displaying of avatars, but i dont recall the ability to turn off the bar completely

My 2 bits.

Having alternating cell backgrounds in the thread listing is greusom, Light-new Dark-new Light-old Dark-old, contrasted with an overall listing ordered by time of last post, Its well... greusom. (same as my spelling)

I can live without the quick reply.

Why do I need the right most folder icons? I'm quite happy glancing down the columns of threads, posts or replys to see that something new has been added. I'd like to see the new counts (#) in orange, as before. They are already a different color from the tally, make them orange to stand out.

The folders and post icons fight each other for attention. Something is lost here... Yes, A quick glance is useless.

This stuff is all small fry. I am truly amazed that all this came together as well integrated as it did.

hmmm... I just hit a quick reply button. It didn't jump to the quick reply box.

Also maybe if it (the quick reply box) was reordered to the bottom of the page.

Why does the stickey thread show on every page of threads? Every time I see the same sticky, my first reaction is that the page didn't change.

One small thing that has bugged me since day one is the time offset. Newfoundland has it's own times zone. It's -3.5 hours from GMT. I can't enter that kind of offset in the settings.

Minor, don't worry about it, but if you are a perfectionist then...

For the stylesheet, two minor color changes will significantly reduce screen clutter:

1. Box around edit/reply/quote/quick reply should be the same as the header color.

2. Borders around quotes can be made the same as the background color.

Before and after examples attached.

(Another post for the second attachment)

While I'm on the subject of stylesheet colors, there are two layers of borders around the main tables, when only one is needed. Changing the outermost layer to black would make the screen look much cleaner.

Hi!

Am I the only one with problems with pages not being updated when I click on Main Index or any particular forum? I had no problem with the old version, but now, when I'm in a thread, when I click on Main Index on the top, the new post counter doesn't get updated. Sometimes, when I'm at the main index, it shows me 3 new topics in a forum and when I click on that forum, I get the old forum index page I read 30 minutes ago, without those new threads.

I tried with Opera and IE (shame on me, but that's what my job want me to use) and this is repeatable on both.

If I remeber well, there's a HTML tag to tell the browser not to cache the page ...


Found it:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">



I don't know if it would help... Maybe I'm the only one with this problem...


Oh, and some general comments:

-I prefer the way the "new post counter" looked like before: (xx new)

-The rightmost column is too crowded. and not that usefull for me. If there's more than one new post, it's useless..

-I won't use Quick Reply.. I'd prefer to have it removed.

-I prefer the way the links to threads worked before: go directly to the first unread post. It happens a lot more often than reading the whole thread. The small arrow is quite hard to aim ;-)

That's about it!!


Thanks for your time and efforts. I really appreciate it!

Greetings!

A request - the "Jump To" bar at the bottom of the page does not have the forums and items listed in the same order as the Main Index. Can this be adjusted to match?

The new board is way fast, Tom. All in all, a very good upgrade and merge, despite the quibbles.

"Removing" the borders around quotes with "Quote:" looks silly at best and is hard to read at worst. I say no. You could refine them, maybe. Is there some way to only have a left border, like a mail client might show?

The [q] is going to get a makeoevr soon, turn it into a true CSS object, so that things like orange text are only used on stylesheets that make sense for it to use that color. I do think the border can be set to only the left as well, though I don't know what CSS level will be required for that.

Once I get past some of the bug tracking, I'll go more into looks fixes like that.

Oh, and I do hope people like the reduction of the Extra Information bar at the bottom. Still going to tweak that more later. Why the jump option is out or order is beyond me. Looks like it is not loking at group order numbers, the admin area does the same. I'll get a bug posted about that soon.

Oh, lastly, no cache tags added as well. Looks like it was causing problems for a few others as well, could have been part of the new post indicator issues.

PM releated bug.
I had new PM but no flashing envelope, when I clicked on "My Home" it listed the correct total for the number of PM in my inbox but did not list any as un-read.
One I entered my inbox I got the flashing envelope, and "My Home" did have the correct number of un-read PMs....so maybe just a minor DB glitch that little can be done about.

Yeah, I'll confirm that. No unread PM indication.

I've noticed a thread of mine 'disappears', I've got my display prefs set to show 10 threads at a time. My thread happened to be at number 11 but when I moved to the second page it wasn't there. Could this sticky topic be blotting it out? Increasing the displayed posts to 15 shows my thread at a posiition 11 on page 1. Is this a fault or a 'feature'?

I don't seem to be getting emails sent to me when somebody replies to one of my posts. It used to work before the upgrade. Anybody else getting this?

Tom - I think the site's rending/serving pages (not sure which) a _LOT_ faster than the old one.

i spoke to drakino about the pm issue. after i talked to him he said he made a change, and it seems to work fine for me

when I switch from my work to home computers, the last read post markers on the threads are not working right. It gets the count wrong of how many posts are unread

I just arrived from work, and it does the same for me: New post count isn't right, but when I press on the arrow, it get me to the correct unread post, not the ones in the count.

sig check one two...

grrr... anyone know how to fix that?
