new forum oddities go here

[DarkDragon]

Uploading custom avatar, and image code in signatures, should both be fixed. Still looking into the avatar size issue.

[Nicholas Steel]

No custom avatars?

No custom avatars yet! Well, maybe there is now ._.

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

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.

My entire "Zelda 1.5 Deluxe" thread in the Quest Announcement / Discussion forum has been deleted after the new forum install ... all newer and older threads are still there though ... I know it's always hitting me by accident, butt this is maybe as it should be.

Please remove the Zelda 1.5 Deluxe quest and the Zelda 1.5 Final quest from the QDB entirely, so I won't have to ask for more updates and there won't be anyone making a new thread about my two quests anyway, nobody is playing them at all (my newest quest didn't even have 200 downloads before the forum went dead for a day, and it was up for at least 3 weeks already, while other quests had 10.000's of downloads in no time).

I don't know if there is still any Janine's quest on the QDB, if so, please delete those as well. They're outdated and not played either anymore. There isn't even any support file for those quests available, so if people ask me for help (if that ever happens), I couldn't even give them any good answers.

Please also delete the other threads about my quests to make it look like they never existed. Most of them have not even a single reply and it was always the same person asking for help which went unanswered ... no miracle, since I didn't support those old quests anymore. I hope I listed all threads and didn't forget anyone left.

General Entertainment Discussion and the related forums are gone.

Two new idiosyncrasies:

• "Quick Reply" field not always showing up even when rest of page loads. This seems to be hit-or-miss and I am trying to recreate this consistently so I can give you more info'/determine if it is just a result of timing out from slooow load times. Other sites loading fine/quickly for me.
• Hovering over thread icons (the envelopes, et cetera, next to threads) brings up a blank field. Not really important but thought I would mention it.

I'm being logged out out occasionally as well.

Thanks.

[Cloral]

Same here. Every time I come back I have to log-in again, even though I selected the 'remember me' checkbox.
