Since this new version came out, the Dev Tracker is not keeping track of which posts I have already read. They are not "greying-out".

Forum still forgets passwords for me, seems to be less frequent than before though.

I've been noticing that when I try to reply to some threads, the cursor does not appear in this text editting window.
IE: 6.0.2800.1106CO

One of my favorite features was to track my replies but now if I click on a reply from my tracker, im thrown to the top of the page and not directly to my reply... same thing happens with DEV tracker. Also, trackers dont have the forum name from each of the posts like it used to have it.
These two problems I had yesterday seem to be working now. Great job!

I don't know what happened to the advanced search but it is leaving out a lot of messages. I did an advanced search on my character's name on my server forum and it only returned 15 hits. I know for a fact that I have been mentioned by name much more than 15 times. I am finding the advanced search function to be much less powerful now than it was before.

There is another bug / change I just noticed particularly for the User Tracker / Dev Tracker....... the entry is colored as "New" pertaining to the thread as a whole instead of the specific post.......... so when I go to Dev Tracerk, I see a list of all Dev posts........ I click on one and only read the Dev post but not the rest of the thread......... I then go back to the Dev Tracker and the link is still colored for "New" whereas before the Upgrade the "newness" of the link would pertain to the specific post instead of all the other posts on that page......
in short, the old way is much more usefull
maybe the Forum Name could be colored differently depending on if there are new posts instead of the main entry
I hope I am clear in what I am saying.

Advance Search is a mess.
I get few or no results for searches that should have tons.
Also, nothing ever comes up from the last 6 months.

I am still seeing several bugs this morning:
- I still have to re-login periodically. It doesn't seem quite as bad as it has been, but having to relogin at all during the same browser session seems silly with a forum like this (this isn't a bank's website or anything)
- Posts still seem to have variable widths. I haven't been able to find one today that goes beyond my browser window's width (although I've seen it in the past), but I have seen differing width posts that only go partial screen width to full screen width. Can't this be standardized so that all posts extend to the full width of the browser window?
- Search is still broken (since yesterday). Posts later than 2003 can't be found.
- The Dev Tracker has no ability to mark posts as read. In addition, if someone replies to a Dev post, the link in the Dev Tracker appears as not read again. If I read a Dev post, it shouldn't reset to not read again regardless of replies.
- There doesn't seem to be an ability to define the sort order in searches and it seems to always display posts from earliest to the present. In a game like SWG, the most recent posts are usually the most relevent, so I'm wondering why we can't set sort order as a preference, in the advanced search window, or something like that. Particularly if I'm searching for all posts by a Developer, having to go to the *last* page to find what I want is annoying.

They're not exactly "Broken". Lithium is rebuilding the entire search tree. They said this will take over 30 hours to complete....

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!!!

clicking a link on the dev tracker only takes me to the top of the page that a dev posted in, whereas it used to jump me directly to the post. I now have to keep scrolling and looking for red names on the side. Very irritating.
Looks like this is fixed now, guess it was just a bug. Thanks! That was my main problem.
Also noticed that the dev tracker no longer shows 5-stars on all their posts, I'm sure the devs enjoyed that . Its nice being able to see the ratings on our personal trackers, though.

Hey, it's showing which board the messages are posted in now too. Sorry for being crabby earlier, great work.
