Major Board Update--Report Glitches Here

That is weird. Like my 1 star. Which of course is fixed now.

At least the "two popups for a new PM" problem seems to have gone away! 

[KC]

I think I figured out the problem with "Reply to All." Somehow, my e-mail settings had gotten changed to "Display personal messages as a conversation." I don't recall changing it, but I kind of liked it, since you see the other person's messages and your replies together. But apparently, "Reply to all" isn't an option with that setting. I changed it back to "Display personal messages all at once," and voilà, "Reply to All came back."

One less thing for Richard to worry about!

[Richard]

Good to hear you figured it out.  I don't know why the software does it that way.  You were making me sweat a bit there!

Minor point but the birthday cake on a person's profile for their birthday is not a patch on what we had before.

That is a cake for dieters. Our old one was dripping in frosting, it also had a candle.

Haha Yes, this new one does look like it's somehow more healthier. Perhaps it's the cherry on top!

What has happened to the smilies? These are the only ones still showing:           

Instead, I see this in Firefox:



And this in IE:

[Lin Sunderland]

They are all perfectly OK for me.

[KC]

They're still gone for me ... 

If I right click on them one by one, and select "Reload image" (in Firefox), they come back. What is up with that?

[KC]

Now I clicked on "Reload" (the whole page), and they all came back!   

[Christopher]

Sometimes not all the smilies will show up for me, but if I refresh the page, that'll usually work.

[KC]

Yeah, this time, I could have sworn I already tried it and it didn't help ... Oh well, as long as they're all back now!

You know what would be nice is if we could go to a specific page within a thread... If a thread has say three pages, then of course I can choose which page to go to. But what about threads that have a 120 pages to them, and I want to go to page 50. I'm sure there's a way in the address bar, but it's certainly not obvious (unlike some forums), but I've seen forums that have a drop-down box to "go to" what page you want.

I just figured out if click on the ellipses that appear when a topic has a lot of pages, it'll list all the pages for that thread. (Gee, I hope that wasn't already an option that I just never knew about...)  Anyway, it's a great option to know about.

[KC]

If it was "an option that I just never knew about" ... I never knew about it either! And if it's a new feature, it's a great one.

Good find, Doug!

[Lin Sunderland]

Dumb question from a dumb mod.    Where does the ellipse appear? I looked on a thread with loads of pages and couldn't find the ellipse. Dumb I may be but I do know what an ellipse looks like.   

[KC]

According to Wikipedia, the correct term is "ellipsis."  "Not to be confused with Ellipse."  (The plural is "ellipses," so Doug has it right.)

It is also known as "three dots." It looks like this:

...

Or sometimes . . .

That is a cool find!

AH!!!!  I see it now and it works.

It is official I am dumb.
