New Forum issues
#102
I dislike the post count being so prominent. It makes me look like a loser with no life. I prefer that new people have to read some of my posts before drawing that conclusion.

I like the new updates but the only thing that still bugs me is the mediocre search function. It seems that it has gotten worse instead of improving.
On a side note, there seems to be a glitch with the Scorpion King 2 review:

It's worked fine for years, and after the forum update, it hasn't.

Click the button on each post you want to quote in your reply, then on the final post you want to quote just click the regular quote button and your reply will have all the ones you turned red.

I think Pilot pretty much summed that up. Still, the admins and mods will be making their decision based on what they think is best for the community as a whole, not what they like / disslike. If they decide that it would make everyone happy to be able to have avatars, we'll turn them on and allow you to upload them. The issues in the past that discouraged that should no longer be issues.
The 'browser toolbar icon' seems to have disappeared.
It used to be a little DVDTalk logo and now it's just a folder looking thing (actually I'm not sure what it is). The logo graphic used to show up in the FireFox tabs also.
Kudos on the 'Post Quick Reply' without the full page reload

Dick,
Since you appear to be from IB, what's going on with the ads inside of posts? Are they staying, or going away?
*Edit - nevermind, it appears from the other post that it's only effecting people who aren't logged in. For some reason, it keeps making me login, and will not remember my password for the site or keep me logged in. Grrrr...

Do you know if the issue of incomplete search results is one of the bugs being worked on? As of post #30 DVD Talk Admin didn't seem to think there was a problem with the returns.

And PLEASE fix the search function. I just finished Prison Break Season 3 and enjoyed going back to the old threads to read what people would say about each episode. Now, when I search for 'prison', it gives me totally unrelated threads back from 2003. I can't for the life of me get to the threads I'd like to.

I used the "Clear Private Data" option on Firefox with everything but "Saved Passwords" checked and that ended my logout issues.
I can also confirm some funny stuff in the Advanced Search page. I searched for "commentary" (titles only) and all the results were from 6-15-05 and before. I know nothing about vBulletin, but it almost seems like whatever variable the search function uses for the "current date" is set back to somewhere in 2005 and that's why it's not finding any newer posts.
Edit: Ok, I searched for my user name (Numes) in the "Search by User Name" and it listed all my posts (including this one).
Hmm.... I tried "commentaries" and it found some threads from this year. I guess my hypothesis was wrong.

As of this post though, I believe search is still pretty fubar.

That is correct, so people should have had more problems when searching for current stuff.

Yeah, it's pretty much worthless. There were a couple of threads I was looking to update, and just gave up after a few fruitless searches.







how does barfing solve the login issue?
