Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
If left as it is you should see only threads with new posts in bold. Threads with old posts will appear, but not be in bold. If you choose 'New Posts' you get a page with only those threads that are in bold.
With this current configuration, I either:
a) mark the forums read after reading all the threads I'm interested in
or
b) I leave it as I don't care if threads I'm not interested in show up as bold. It doesn't matter to me if they show that they have new posts, if I'm not interested in them, anyway.
Most commonly, I've been doing a), while on the Steve Hoffman music forums, I tend to do b).

Wikis seem to have been randomly inserted in all the wrong threads. I worked on fixing a few of them, but it’d be nice to hear the official word on what is happening with them. Will they auto-corrects some how? Are they screwed forever? Is it safe to create and edit them now?

Guys, as I said above, the unread posts may be a little weird for the next couple days, while cookies get flushed out.

I don’t have access to a database of what threads had wikis, but here is one that is messed up;

Your post doesn’t fully address any of my questions, but thanks I guess.

In the Announcement thread at the top of this (and other) boards, it states " Infinite Scroll: Continuous page loading and sticky navigation bars"
I've taken care of the Infinite Scroll (didn't like it), but what about the sticky navigation bars? Is there a setting which will improve responsiveness while navigating this site? Or am I stuck with waiting a few additional seconds each time I navigate to a different forum/thread?

Every once in awhile now, if I'm in a thread and use the back button on my browser (Firefox), I get the following instead of the previous page:
Prefetching is not allowed due to the various privacy issues that arise.
It's extremely intermittent - only happened a handful of times and it doesn't seem very repeatable.

The least complicated workaround is to stop using the tag manually and use the vBulletin composer toolbar instead.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
When I use Quick Reply (or the regular Reply for that matter), oftentimes I'll choose to edit a previous post, copy the text, and past it in my new reply, changing parts of the text to submit my new post.
Example: Watched 2 episodes of The Flash (S1) while we ate dinner: The Trap and Grodd Lives.
Notice how The Flash is bolded and in blue, The Trap and Grodd Lives are italicized. When I copy the name of a different episode into the field for the existing episode, the italics go away and I have to re-italicize the episode title. I always make sure to stay within the field, yet the italics go away. Every time.
Not that this is a huge deal, it just makes more work. Before, when the bold and italics tags were used, you could paste text between those tags and everything was peachy. But now, you can't do that anymore.
Is there an editor I can use which still uses the bold and talics tags? Because the new way isn't working very well for my purposes.
Thanks

I just copied and pasted that from quoting your post, then I added my own text. The font formatting stayed.
I'm not sure if that's what you mean, or if it is, why it's working for me, but not you.

Do you have the "Source" button on the upper right of your text editor box? Also, they got Gorilla Grodd on that show?

Also, in Firefox, when I try to quote someone and respond, the text box never appears. So I usually visit this website in Opera, which works fastest and best.
However, lately there has been a new annoying problem. I am unable to stay logged in to the site from one visit to another, and it even logs me out if I'm dormant for awhile. Upon log-in, there's no box to tick to keep me logged in.
