new forum oddities go here

[Mercy]

Someone has to start posting so I guess I shall get the ball rolling.

If you have noticed any errors, problems, or oddities with the new forums, please post them, politely, here.

• posts not listed by cronological order
• Think Tank missing
• some old smilies no longer work (no big deal imho)
• avatars are teeny
• no way to collapse category containing archives/convention threads

DD already knows about those but asked me to post them anyway.

Many thanks to the men behind the curtain who have gotten the forums back up and running for our mutual mastur...er, enjoyment.

I couldn't see me old avatar, and I can't even change it or add a new one.

[The_Amaster]

Yeah, my avatar isn't showing up, but it's still displayed on my user cp->edit avatar, and there's no options to reupload or change it.

[AtmaWeapon]

I'm confirming the avatar problem; also my signature images aren't showing up as anything but links.

right side of the Tunnel Snakes group, the line passes through the text when it shouldn't. Also what IS that group?

I just posted a thread, and had to log in again for some reason. Also, it said I can add 5 tags to the thread. I added 3, and the forums told me I exceeded the limit by 1, so I had to reduce it to 2.

Can you provide more detail about the chronological order thing? Posts look ok on my end.

I've reuploaded the smilies. Let me know if any are still broken.

I have noted this issue in GB, VGD, and FG but not GD or NMF. I set thread display options to "beginning" (I was feeling nostalgic) and threads are not displayed in chronological order either by thread start dates or last post dates. In GB, for instance, the first four posts after the stickied posts are:

• Alright Russ, it's on start 02-15-2009 09:55 AM last post 02-23-2009 05:14 PM
• army screws me again start 05-17-2009 08:47 AM last post 05-17-2009 10:47 AM
• As you feel... I feel. start 12-10-2008 03:17 AM last post (no responses)
• barack oSama start 02-26-2009 11:56 PM last post 03-30-2009 06:08 PM

I only did a quick check of the first five General forums because now I have another issue. I keep getting logged out almost every time I jump pages. I had this issue with the past forum incarnation about a month and a half ago but it suddenly stopped. I am hoping it stops in this incarnation because it is frelling annoying.

And screw the Tunnel Snakes. They still have not returned my copy of "Nikola Tesla and You".

At the bottom of the forum page, did you select to order threads by last post time, descending? For some reason it defaults to ordering by thread title name (very annoying, I'm looking into it).

[Nicholas Steel]

Show threads from the "beginning"
Sort threads by "last post time"
Prefix "(any thread)"
Order threads in "ascending order" (Or descending if you want)

Seems to reset to sorting by thread title when you log out/in which is annoying.
