DB Site Development Log See OP for basics

[Prepared]

I'm using standard Internet Explorer 8 with Windows Vista. In the version, it states 8.0.6001.18813.

I wasn't able to click on the links at the top of the page. I wasn't able to register, wasn't able to hit the FAQ, nothing would work. It would simply refresh the screen when the link was clicked. I tried it on five of my Windows Vista machines all with the same version of Internet Explorer 8 which is the latest right now from Microsoft.

The only way I was able to get here was to follow some of the public forums which I could barely get to. That's meaning that most of the links wouldn't work there either, would just refresh the current screen. Found a link where someone said to use the "Forgot password" option and that link worked.

I don't have this problem any where else but with the new site. I have default privacy settings, default popup blocker, etc in Internet Explorer.

Am I the only one that has had this problem?

I think there may be an issue with private messages and the 'Your Notifications' section to the top right of the screen. I sent a message earlier and now 'Your Notifications' says Unread private messages:1, but when I try and find what that message is I cant find it anywhere. Im guessing it is probably registering the message I sent as a unread message.

Inbox contains 0 messages.
You have 1 messages stored, of a total 500 allowed. (Empty Folder)

When I click empty folder it says 'Are you sure you want to permanently delete all items in 'Inbox'?'

Sorry if its just me being stupid but I cant find the message it is refering to and I dont want to empty the folder incase it is a reply to the message I sent earlier.

Thanks

EDIT: Fixed thanks to the following post by Moorea. I made a new folder named 'New' and the message appeared in that folder.

Don't delete - try making a new folder as a workaround, your inbox message will/may show up in that new folder once created (they did for me; but I didn't have a "new" one, only old)

I also requested a little darker of a line between posts It's on the massive to do list haha.

This can probably be fixed by moving the user information box to the side, the way it was in the old version of the forums. If I'm not mistaken, vB defaults to the layout with the user info on top of the post, and it's just a checkbox or something like that to switch it to the old format.

Forums are working fine for me in IE 8 under WinXP and IE 8 under Vista64. Firefox 3.5 is a different story. I can't stay logged in and the sub forums are blank. It's not really an issue for me, but you may want to put up a message on the site home page letting people know, in case they give up before trying IE.

Images seem to be huge now. They used to auto-scale on the old site to fit whatever width the forum posts were. Now, if anybody's used a giant pic, it displays at full-res.

Everything else seems to be okay, though, so it seems the transition was pretty smooth. Thanks!

Look up top. "Quick Links" --> Today's Posts.

Thanks mate

A few things:

• Images are default size now, they old forums auto scaled images, the new forums are do not auto scale.
• Yes, the old gallery images are not imported. This is why I had *multiple* threads reminding people and telling people to BACKUP anything they wanted.
• Attachments are missing. If you tell me the thread titles / posts they're missing from, I'll see about getting them back.
• If you can't click on forums, see blank forums, buttons / links not working. MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT USING OLD BOOKMARKS. This is the most common cause for such errors.

The entire thread title should now be displayed on the recent threads portal block. As should the forum the thread is in.

Why is there a box for quick reply that doesn't allow you to just start typing and do an actual... quick reply?
