yes, this is working as intended, because you are at the WRONG URL.

look at the url

you see how /showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=12374 is on the end of forums.php? thats a BAD URL. Just to go to http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums.php

Thanks for the help, I was also using an old bookmark.

I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned, but it says I have 27 notifications. This happened after I received a private message. Now I'm a nice guy, but I'm really not popular enough to get 27 unread emails, especially when my inbox only has 1 in it. I think what happened was I had 26 private messages before the transfer, and now they're stuck in limbo somehow even though I went through and market them all as read.

Yes. the answer is in the OP.

• Anyone having issues with old PMs not in your inbox, create a folder, and they should appear in that folder, this was just a bug on the import.

can you add a server redirect from old to new or at least from old/bad to toplevel so people don't get stuck on that weird behavior ?

Sure. you provide me a list of everyone's old bookmarks and I'll get right on it. So the short answer is no. The long answer is, No because I have to have an idea of the URL their coming in from before I can begin to rewrite it.

I created a new folder (named it "Old Messages") and nothing happened to the notifications. I now have a "Subscriptions" folder and an "Old Messages" folder. I emptied my inbox (there was only one new message in there anyway) but it's still showing 27 unread messages. The problem is I can't access those messages, or see a list of the messages, anywhere.

I've set up some custom profile fields that are specific to multiboxing

You can currently add the game / server / number of accounts / what you use to multicast / class makeup. If anyone has any ideas for fields, please let me know. You can view mine here: http://www.dual-boxing.com/member.php?u=9879

Sorry, Svpernova, but as usual, you were correct. As soon as I created a new MAIL folder the messages were put in there and I could mark them as read. When I created a new folder earlier I mistakenly created a new subscriptions folder, which obviously didn't do anything to my mail message notifications.

One quirk:

When editing a post and hitting save, the screen just sits there. The post has been edited, but there's no confirmation to the user letting them know it has been saved. This is different then if you go into advanced editing and then hit save it go back to the thread so you can see your recently edited post.

This is working as intended, that's why it's a "quick reply / edit" instead of "go advanced".

When you're done editing it just sits there and you have to go find the thread again if you want to see your updated post. I guess it's for people who want to keep editing the same post?

When I edit something, it's default the quick editor, not the full blown advanced, this is intended. When you hit Save, it should refresh the page and show you the same page of the thread you were look at before you hit the edit button. If this is not what is happening, there is something not getting handled right on the browser. I'll go check the usergroups to make sure it's not a permission / usergruop setting.

Edit: there is nothing server side keeping the post edit function from working as described.

LOL no worries.
