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.

Hmm, very strange. The desired action you described is exactly what I was hoping for (refresh the page and show the same page instead of just staying at the edit box) but for some reason it's not doing that for me. If I go to advanced edit then after editing it does go back to the page I was on and refresh.

"This forum requires that you wait 60 seconds between reporting posts. Please try again in 14 seconds." Ugh!! Can we kill that timer or something? Or is there some way just to report a user for spam? Also, there's no limit on reports? I think I reported a post twice...the old forums, once you reported a post once, it was not re-reportable.

Using IE and checking out the "Dual-Boxing.com Main Forums" the latest post title seems to expand the area, causing it to look disorderly and in some cases severly shrink the other fields.

This is an intended change as a lot of times the thread titles were being cut off and hard to distinguish, what resolution are you running at? Should be tolerable / ok for 1024x768 and get better as you scale up.

That's cool if it's an intended change, but IMO it looks pretty awful. I don't usually browse in a maximized window so it gets shrunk quite a bit regardless of my resolution (unless it's extremely high of course). Using a non maximized window this particular thread title is taking up about 80% of the room since the thread title "has" to be on one line, whereas the forum name has "wrap text" or something like that enabled making it much better.

I would recommend fixed width for all the fields and just wrap the text. That will solve the problem of thread titles being cutoff without making it look sloppy.

Yeah I was looking into that, I'll see what I can do. Fixed width with non-fixed with can cause some issues here and there.


Edit: that should be better now, it cuts off after 50 characters in the thread titles.

I got a php error when I uploaded an avatar file, something like basedir_include(), it redirected me too fast so I didn't read the whole thing. Clicking save after the upload gave me an "Upload failed" message, but my avatar is there so it obviously works.

Is it just me, or am I the only one unable to login using Firefox? Using 3.0.13, on a Windows 7 64bit system, clicking on any links from the forum basically just refreshes the page. Unable to login, unable to click on FAQ links, Register, etc. Clicking any of that just shows the main page.

Unable to also view posts, can click into one of the forums, but doesn't show any messages, that DOES change the page though. It switches to the "who's online" and such content in the main content frame, header remains the dual-boxing.com current header and menu bar.

Very odd, but I'm able to login using Internet Explorer 8 on the same system

Cheers

EDIT: GAH! I just saw there was 11 pages, only saw 3 previously, went back to page 10 and this has already been addressed...old bookmark, removing everything back to /forums.php, ugh my bad. Resolved!

I also got the error msg described by kadaan when upgrading both my new profile and icon images - yet, the images did actually update

Another small thing which appears to be happening - I frequent the EQ2 forum, yet everytime I enter the forum I have to re-sort the page by 'latest post' as it keeps forgetting and putting the posts in some random order (a cookie problem???)

Oh, and as an optional extra - is there ever going to be be 'mark all as read' or 'show latest posts' buttons like on the last forum as I used them all the time to work out what had been updated recently

Besdies those niggles - I like the new forum - pretty clean, nice work and a big thankyou for giving all us mboxers a 'home'

mark all read is under Quick Links. I use New Posts but not sure if that is what you are looking for
