forum upgrade... this weekend.

[Steve Crotty]

This isnt really a bug (the old forum did it too, and maybe its intentional), but when you do the view new posts it lists posts for the practice posting section as well.

The "remember me" doesn't work for me anymore - have to type in name and password every time.

I guess I should have posted it here instead of creating a thread. I had a problem with aligning characters in a ladder example.

For me sometimes it works, and sometimes I have to log in.
I'm using FireFox 1.0 via a firewall.
Never had any issues with the old site.

did something happen to the ticker?

It's discontinued... at least temporarily.

 

[Phil Melore]

Phil, where is the link to the downloads section ??

Oh, yes. It's in the navigation bar now... next to search.
Thanks,

It's forum wide... so it's supposed to act that way. Not sure if that's good or bad but...

1. Log in to the forum.
2. Log out of the forum.
3. Clear your cookies.
4. Shut down the browser.
5. Start the browser again.
6. Login to the forum.

That should fix it...

edit post or preview does seem to add a space. For now... don't preview (I'll investigate. Thought it worked before...)

Not sure if it happens most of the time. When I do a log out sometimes, an error will occur, and prompt me to click on the link, which will then clear me out. Is it a norm?

larger font size choice...

Hi, The text has all got smaller. I used to be able to read the old site without glasses, but no more. Could you spare a thought for us that are starting to wear out and increase the font size. Thanks. Alan

Ok, Alan. I'm sympathetic.

You can make the fonts size larger from here(cover page):

or from here(listings pages):

It should remember your font choice whenever you return as well.

Enjoy,

Phil,

I accidentally did a log-out a minute ago. Normally I just close the browser when I'm done here.

I just wanted to say the grey screen, ala Windows XP, is pretty cute.

OK... country flags are back.

To my knowledge there are no other bugs. If you find one (I would guess there are some little ones out there still) please point them out.

Suggestions for improvement are also always welcome.

Enjoy,

I used to use the link at the bottom to return to the topic list quite often. If I'm the only one that misses it I'll get used to it but if other also noticed it gone could we have it back. It's the same as the one on the top:

Edit: Nevermind, I just realized that's what the Forum Jump box is for.
Thanks for all you do!

Actually, Phil did add that, DD. Look just after the last post in each thread (right below << Previous Thread | Next Thread >>).
