New Forum issues
 

Maybe a central location to report issues would be helpful...



The go to last post button doesn't go to the last post. :(

I've heard that the last post feature takes you to the 1st post instead.

Posted this in the Other thread before I knew about this one:

Searching seems to suck even more now. Today I'm going to compile a list of upcoming DVDs that I want (Iron Man, The Big Lebowski, The Incredible Hulk, "30 Rock", "The Office") and their release dates, so I searched for their respecitve existing threads.

5 different searches in the main forum - "iron", "lebowski", "hulk", "office", "rock" - each at least the standard 20 seconds apart. Got the same reslut every time: "1. Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

Weird.

Just like "Last Post", "Last Page" also takes you to the first page.

And I witnessed this in one thread, but another one was fine with this feature. Strange. :hscratch:

If you click on the title of the thread on the Main page, it takes you to the last post. If you do it on the subforum page, it takes you to the first post. I think that is different.

I'm getting red x's for the mod/reviewer avatars.

whoa...the quote has a link to the original post...nifty

Yep, the search function is completely useless now. Every search I've done has come up with the same result you got.

When in a particular forum, the links on the menu bars do not work. Both the main bar at the top and the one below with the search this forum. Click.. nothing.

I was just in the actors attack their mother thread and found this post interesting.

It shows Vibiana as simply a registered user....hadn't seen that before?

Uh oh. I just saw contextual advertising in a thread....















....on another site. None seen here yet! :)

Avatars seem to have disappeared.

I'm seeing a clickable line saying "nemein's avatar" - takes ya to the profile. This is with Firefox.

I didn't notice it until Groucho posted, but posts from people on my ignore list are in a wider box than a normal post.

Wow... the forum VB was upgraded to the current version... whodathunk? ;)

Is anybody else getting adds in first posts of a thread?

The political forum content still sucks.

I can't click on any of the buttons that can wrap text around it for Bold, Italic, Underline, etc. I can't even get the smilies to come up. I have to do everything manually. I know most of them, but I can't remember a lot of the smilie codes.

What did the new forum upgrade do anyway?

The old one was very outdated and hacked to pieces, this makes us more..modern and updated. There's also some new features, which may not be turned on right now, but once everything is sorted out, things may appear. Also once everything is sorted out, things should run smoother, and search may actually work (better!). Just because you don't see anything different, doesn't mean it doesn't work better :)

This also gives is the ability to add more modern and neat vBulletin add-ons.

Yeah it wasn't a good idea the first time, so I guess they wanted to try it again.

I'm getting a bunch of smilies in The Edit King posts

Guys, there maybe some things that are showing up that aren't suppose to be there. Give IB time to configure stuff the way it was.

Kudos though for the upgrade. I'm telling you I stopped upgrading because almost everything we saw pointed to it being almost impossible. So the IB tech team must have really done some magic.

Now hopefully they will turn on all the features!

the index may have to be rebuilt after the upgrade
the initial rebuild of an index for a site this large could easily be multiple days..

just a guess..

is it just my eyes.. or do the colors not seem as crisp.. a little washed out?
could just be me.. since i assume they used the same template

The color selection in making a post doesn't work on Firefox 3.0.1 on Mac OSX Leopard.

I'm getting that and is annoying.

Hi,

I just performed a search using the terms "iron", "lebowski", "hulk", "office", "rock" and I could get quite a few results for each search. So could please tell try again and if you still get the error could please tell me which page were you searching from. The only problem with the search at present is that the pop up box does not pop up on a few pages and we are looking into it.

What is with the line between the poster name and the post, like in this thread:

http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=531622

It's not in every thread though, like this one I'm posting in now.

I just searched for the same titles, and the only results I got were from '02 and earlier.

This wont be a problem if I went back in time and haven't realized it yet. I'll look into that and update later.

I don't see any line except from between the original post and the Edit notification.

Otter Farm has an error at the top of the page. Looks like some stray HTML.

<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/requieminadream/Whatever/photo#5234786605447761794"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/requieminadream/SKWyrryvz4I/AAAAAAAABHw/bOJRIKpMgj4/s144/erorr.jpg" /></a>

Sure thing. I just did all of the searches again, through the Advanced Search page using the keyword search (entire posts). All search options were kept at their default settings. Searching the DVD Talk forum, with the child forums box unchecked, I got:

"iron" - one thread (a locked upcoming release list from 2006)
"lebowski" - no matches
"hulk" - no matches
"office" - no matches
"rock" - two threads (the current Evil Dead thread and one compiling a list of defective DVDs)

It probably goes without saying, but I did not use quotation marks in my searches.

My browser is IE 6 and my OS is XP.

(Yeah, I prefer Firefox, but I'm at work and they don't like us downloading programs on these computers.)

I found a new feature under "networking" but now it's been turned off. :(

-cracker-

I tried starting a discussion via a review (Dexter) and got an error:

The following error was encountered:
*Don't know if the database statement is needed, but I thought I should remove it*

1017: Can't find file: '*removed*' (errno: 13)

I also got a similar error when clicking a review link at the top of the page, but now I can't remember which movie it was because others I've seen have worked so far.

That is broken. It's being looked into.

Ok, thanks.

We're still not allowed to personally attack users, plz to be turning that feature on?
