I'll keep an eye out for this but I've definately never seen that happen before, and this is the first time that's been reported.

I've found that I cannot "Submit Files" with Opera 9.01 I've tried several times and it always sticks saying I must include both a screenshot and the file even tho I have. I finally tried to upload with IE and it went right thru so it's a browser issue.

The item I mentioned in #14 above seems to be happening with some regularatiy now. I believe I've had it occur 4 times in the last 2 days. i've noticed that just after it happens the "All Recent Posts" list (page 1) is only 10 items long and no matter how many times I refresh or click the shortcut at the bottom of the page it stays that length. Opera 9.01 build 8552

I am unable to create a double-post. that was one of my favorite features or the old forum. Will it be re-enabled?

I'm pleased to report that after working with Zubaz, we've finally debugged the 'Email (username)' function issues. That feature should be working properly now.

This is forum page i was viewing a few minutes ago;

WWW Link

This is SS of the bottom part of page - I only noticed because I saw my name mentioned on several threads. But none of those threads are by me nor have I posted on the 3 that have my name after them. No biggy but I look like a blabber mouth.

Looks like something was throwing the layout off. What browser are you using, what resolution are you running at, and how large is the browser window?

FF 1.5.0.6

1024 resolution.

Browser is fully expanded ...i think thats what your asking ?

You mean that your browser window is maximized?

edit

I switched my resolution to 1024x768, opened the latest ff, maximized the window, visited that URL. Couldn't reproduce the issue. The layout looks correct and all 'Last Reply Info' fields look correct. It looks like the ss you took was while the page was misrendered, as if some element was throwing off the rest of the page layout. That may be what was confusing you. Otherwise, chalk it up to a temporary glitch.

I'm unable to reproduce that layout problem on IE, FF or Opera running at 1024x768. Chalk it up to a glitch with your FF install, or some custom rendering setting you may have turned on.

yes - maximized...this glitch only appeared when I changed from the full days posts that showed on page 1 - when i clicked " next "
Everything else was ok.

I havent tried it yet today - but just now I rebooted and opened forum and as the page goes down - the text gets distorted in places. I saw this yesterday and is still present today.

Hopefully it fixes itself...I havent changed anything and it only started yesterday.

Its not bothering me that much - just figured Id report it in case it was happening to others.
