Have you seen the same behavior with other browsers?


No, I don't use other browsers very often.

I believe Jafo reported the same thing in an earlier thread. Seems to me he said he was using IE7

I've seen this reported a few times, but we've been unable to reproduce the problem. Best thing I can do at this point is to just keep an eye out.

In Firefox 1.5.0.5, if you type text in the in-post reply box, then click on Advanced Mode, the text you have doesnt carry over into the editor. In IE6 it does, so I think this is a bug.

CerebroJD - that has been resolved. Thanks.

While this is not a forum issue - not sure where else to put it.

All week when I log in I get taken to a blank page that has nothing on it but the recent pole question in the center of this blank page. I have to hit the back button and log in my user name again. This happens everytime I log in - I have to do it twice .

I keep getting this:

Fairry, you probably want to post that issue as a new post and not under the *Forum Bug Thread*. The forums run a completely different codebase from the rest of the wincustomize website.

Fuzzy, when you say 'I keep getting...' how often does that mean? We were doing several updates during the day yesterday...

Several times a day for the last week

Andrew,

If I go into Internet Options and clear cookies, files (online and offline), and history for IE6.0.2900.2180 and then attempt to log back on to WinCustomize - I receive the same page displayed in the image in comment #21 here:

[link=https://forums.wincustomize.com/?forumid=188&aid=124902&p=1]WWW Link">Link

Issue #2 would be that the "link" button function does not seem to work consistently in the same browser.

Corky_O, I can't reproduce the same problem in Reply #21 using your directions.

I'm still working on 'Issue #2'.

on Aug 02, 2006

Ok the link issue should be fixed. I've been hitting my head against the wall for three days trying to find the error in my regular expression, turns out that I forgot to tell the dialog that it needs to wrap quotes around the url in the [ link= opening tag. I love it when I force my dialogs to not adhere to my own bbcode rules.

I really have to get some kind of a legend going for that...

It must be something on my home notebook then, as I can logon with no problem here from work in same version IE browser. Perhaps the infamous NIS 2006 is creating issues at home.

Note - I can sort it by closing/re-opening the browser and opening WC site.

Thanks for looking into the "Issue #2".

ok..i forgot forum is running separate.

Forum Issue:
But I am having an issue with watched posts that never happened before . When i recieve an email notification about a watched post having new activity - when I click the link on the email it opens the IE6 browser - I get to forum - scroll almost to the bottom then get a message error on my screen about IE6 is unable to access WC Forum and must now close. I cant do anything but hit the " ok " button then IE closes down. This is happening with all email notifications to forum.

I use FF when in forum normally without any problems - but the links on email open IE 6 and I have no choice on that . But it never was a problem before.
