The Official Forum Upgrade Bug/Issue Thread
#127
DVD Talk Special Edition
The buttons are missing again! The links for AIM, MSN IM, Yahoo IM, and start new thread. But now I can click on the username...
Any chance you can put "Start new thread" under 'Quick Links'?
or what domain to I need to ok in my Norton? I have it set to allow dvdtalk.com ads.dvdtalk.com and kleinman.com, ads.kleinman.com
Even when I disable Norton and turn off the IE pop up blocker, and re-load 20 times and kill cookies, nada.
Thanks.

Usually when I quote another member, I shrink the size of their quote. However, whenever I type "[SIZE=1]", it does nothing. At first, I thought it was because I would type "SIZE" in lower case [size truly matters?], but even after trying it in upper case, it still doesn't shrink it.

I'm not reading this entire thread so apologies if this has been mentioned. The daily review posts in the Review forum are not posting and instead just creating the thread title without a post.

It's much harder to scan topic threads now.

Apologies if this has been mentioned (didn't see it) ... the popup layers for the user menus on each post ("View Public Profile", etc) are inconsistent. For the first poster, it's left justified, and on all the others it's centered (except for the last post on each page, where it's left again). I'm not sure which is the one you want (I suspect left justified since it looks much better). I'm guessing there's an unclosed tag somewhere or some javascript that doesn't anticipate the odd placement of the google link that might be creating this.

hopefully not every post ever made by a BANNED member is automatically removed.. that would kindof suck
considering not all their posts would have been bad
and we rely on seeing their old posts and noticing the BANNED under their name, to realize they are gone
rather than just having members disappearing during the night, without anyone knowing what happened

It’s not really a bug, but…
The way it is currently set up the threads with new posts since your last visit to any forum show up as a different color. If you can set it so that you see threads with new posts since your last visit to that particular forum (say, Bargains or Movie Talk), and not to any forum, it would be appreciated.
With it this way, if you jump into a forum to see if anybody has responded to whichever thread, you aren’t resetting all of the other forums.

This may be a bug? If twikoff ever gets BANNED (God forbid!), and posts are actually deleted, the total Forum post count would be reset by an order of magnitude.

<b>Geoff</b>, are you going to turn off those silly hover tooltips (title attribute) for the first post in each thread on the thread listing? That has to be murder on the bandwidth and it's almost completely gratuitous.

Yeah, good call. I turned those off.
