Thread: Lithium Upgrade v7.7.1
Lithium techies: Are you going to release a hotfix for the major issues covered in this thread? (i.e. the issues that are being commented on by a lot of people, like the changes to the Dev Tracker format)
(the rest is facetious)
And when can we expect v8.0 with the new Veteran Status Unlocking System in place?

This adds a ton of behind the scenes support, especially for moderation. However it does have some advantages for you as well. Here are the Lithium Update Notes.
- “Save Password” fixed – You now should be logged in when you return if you click the save password box. Hooray!!!
- Jump-to First Unread Message – within a specific forum (not from the master list) if you click on the number in the “NEW” column, it will take you automatically to the first new post in that thread since you last visited it. Optionally, users can choose to have the jump-to functionally by default when clicking on the subject line by navigating from “My Profile” to the “Preferences” tab, and in the “Linear Format Settings” section, enabling “Automatically Jump To The First Unread Message In A Thread.”
- Bookmark and subscription links have been altered to highlight and scroll to the message when a bookmark or subscription link has been clicked
- "Check All" buttons have been added to ease management for bookmarks and subscriptions
Two quick things about the boards since the supposed upgrades...er, three actually, but one might be caused by the other...
First of all, it is not saving my password - Windows is, but the boards is not. I have to log in every single time I come to the site, even if it's in the same browse I was in when I first logged into the site.
Which leads to the next issue - after maybe half an hour (which I can take that long to write a post if it's one of my longer ones) the board I am on blanks out like there are 0 topics in it and when I try to come back to the main SWG message board home, it tells me I am not a member of the Fan Club or need to sign in. Sign in again, save password - navigate from the site and come back and have to log in again or half an hour later the topics in a message board poof. Cleared Cache, Cleared Cookies, etc several times, and reinstalled IE once.
Lastly, for some reason after changing colours a couple of times, the colour palette window goes black and closes immediately without loading. Not sure if that's this upgrade that caused it or something else. Seems to be isolated to mornings mostly, or after more than 10 colours have been changed in a single post.
Thought I would throw that out...

Why can't I edit my posts?
I've been a member for a pretty long time now, and it's very annoying, especially at auction sales, that I can't upgrade my posts with new bids and sorts.
You have to be a Community Veteran in order to Edit posts. You need to have 100 posts, and 6 months of forum seniority before you attain that status.
