I am still being redirected to random threads after posting. I don't want to go to some thread that I'm already viewing in a different window, I want to go back to the thread that I posted in.


Posting still suffers from the problem where something is not completely loading (looks like some worthless gif) so the typing area remains white and unusable, and I have to switch to html mode and back to graphical mode (sometimes several times) or reload the page before I'm able to write a post.


Did you fix the problem where writing a very long post will send you to the login screen after posting? The post goes through anyway but this is a very stupid, annoying bug and frequently leads to double-posting.

If someone from Lithium is still reading this, please, please, give me an answer.


Why is the HTML style tag disabled and when is it going to be back???


I want to make a decent signature


Or at least know why I can't.

When are Mozilla users ever going to get a WYSIWYG mode? I'm not talking about Firefox, I mean the official version that is already past the 1.0 point. Up until today, I didn't even know you had a WYSIWYG editor. Though I was beginning to wonder how almost every person on the forums was incredibly compentent at HTML.

When you click on a thread after using the DEV TRACKER button it isn't going to the Dev post, only to the beginning of the thread.

Mac Internet Explorer, latest version:

save password does not work
smileys do not work
idle for > 5 minutes = log out
cannot text color
advanced search function completely broken now. I cannot search for anything past 6/26 it seems.

I mean this constructively, but this is easily the worst forum software I have used in 10 years of forum hopping. I am curious what the "redeeming quality" of such a aggressively user-unfriendly forum system is?

Its still giving me a limit of 20K not 60K.

- Forums seem much faster.

- Cookie does seem to finally be saving, though it did log me out once.

- Searching is borked, but you already knew that.

- DevTracker seems to work different. Before, if I read the Dev's post, the link would go dark on my DevTracker. Now it seems that it is tracking the entire thread and not just the Dev's post because any time someone posts in the same thread, the link in the DevTracker goes back to bold/unread status. I liked the other way because I knew if I had read that Dev post before. Now I keep reading the same ones over and over to see if I had seen that one.

When Iclick on a Dev tracker post that's a reply to a thread it takes me to the top of that page, not to the specific Devpost.


And I had to/was prompted to re-enter my name/password to post this reply.


My last few replies yesterday dissappeared...


Search only shows really old posts for me, too.

Any particular reason the forum name of the post on Dev Tracker was removed?

I'd like to know as well... I liked being able to see if I was going to the In_Testing forum or a profession specific forum...

Problem with Dev Tracker.


It no longer just lists posts by devs. If a dev made a post, and people reply to it, the dev tracker lists the users replies, not just dev posts.


Sorry, if I can't explain it very well, but go take a look and click on some links.

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.”

This feature does not work on mozilla. Seeing as how this feature would be server-side programming, Why does it only work in IE?


I am using FireFox, specifically, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514 Firefox/0.8.0+ and that feature seems to work alright. What version of Moz are you using, and what's the behavior you're seeing?

If you don't want to have that as the default behavior for every thread you click. Try using the number in the "New" column on the message board overview instead of enabling it in your profile. Clicking that number next to a thread will give you the same effect. Takes you to the first unread msg in that thread.


On the DEV Tracker, the numbers in the NEW column are not working... Clicking on the subject takes you to the originating post rather than the "tracked" post by a DEV... When a DEV replies to two or three posts in a thread, all of the previous threads are highlighted as "new/unread" and clicking the subject to any of them will point to the same originating post, even if their reply is a second or third page reply...



Whoops, we noticed that too. It has been fixed. Any fixes we're making right now will be going out tonight.

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.
