Instant UBB Code doesn't work within the Make a New Post window. The only way to get UBBCode to work is with manual insertion of the markup codes.

Well--if you're looking for bugs--a couple of times, when I've previewed a post I was about to make, the text had disappeared when I went back to change something. Nonetheless, thank you VERY much for all your efforts.  Edit: including this one. I came back to it to add that I hope the icon I just put indicates a kiss, and found a blank text box.

Avatars are on now, so is the Quick Reply box.
Jackie, you don't need to click back button now. The form is displayed again after you hit Continue, in case you wish to edit something.

So let's try once more [clor:green]EDIT: Still no go.  The trouble is finding a pic which is as small as 80x80 - and I'm not keen on any of the stock avatars.

well, as you can see I have an avatar working; but it is a bit squashed!
edit: oh, that's so much better!
it's tough finding something smaller than 10k..

Lessee what this does for avatar.
Edit1: looks like I got to scale it down.
Edit2: or either flip all the right switches, one.

here's a bug which has been mentioned a couple of times elsewhere: closing out the browser and then reopening and returning here results in "New Posts" indicated for posts which have actually been read previously.
I just now tried this and noticed that the latest post in each active thread has been (re)marked as new!

Meanwhile, FWIW, I'm happy to see that edits are recorded as such. No longer can anyone go back and edit *their post without a notification of such!

Rhub, if you've got a pic you'd like cut down to 80X80, send it to me, and I can do that easily.

I do like the padre's. It seems so right, so just.
As for mine, well I know that at least some people here will get it.

Okay, what am I doing wrong: How do I get to the complete list of threads within a topic? When I click on Information and Announcements, eg, nothing happens. And if I click on the latest post, I get the thread it's posted in. Clicking on Index also does nothing. The only way to another thread within the topic is to click on Next or Previous.

it's a little thing, but the registered and anonymous users online at the bottom of the page doesn't seem to work, at least in Safari.

Nancy, what screen are you looking at when clicking on, say, Information and announcements won't work? The only time it won't work for me is when I'm looking at the list of threads in the category.
If you're reading a thread, you should be able to click on the category title (Information and announcements, etc.) at the top, and be taken to the list of threads in it. You should also be able to click on it from Main Index or General Topics and see the list of threads in a category. Odd. Maybe it was a glitch that has now been fixed?

Dear Chief -- Something very odd: Bingley reminded me of tsuwm's post of the Hogwash rules; I added a post, intending to delete it when the thread appeared at the top of the list, but...it's not there! If I go to the first thread (as of this typing) and click Next, I get to it, but...it doesn't appear in the list. Here's the address of the thread: missing thread

Jackie, it happens when I try to get to the list from the Main Index page or when I'm reading a thread and try to click on the category title. Just can't get the complete list of threads. I'm using Firefox; maybe I should try a different browser....

Well, I tried using IE and it was even worse. When I clicked on anything in the Main Index, all I got was This page cannot be displayed. Once, and only once, with Firefox I did get the list of threads within I&A - I was so excited! Hasn't happened since. This makes it extremely difficult to navigate the site

nancy, I think you need to delete your cookies and log in again. you can do that both in your browser preferences, and also from your AWAD "My Home" page.

Fingers crossed: Logged in twice at work and once from home and each time have been able to get the lists of topics in each category. I have no idea what I did or didn't do, but the problem is solved...for the time being. Thanks, everyone.

Good, Nancy; my fingers are crossed, too!
'Nother problem: every time I go to Who's Online, I only see myself. Surely not every last other person here is invisible; can everyone else see everyone else?

I think the default is to be invisible -- at least I don't remember choosing to be invisible -- so maybe no-one has chosen to be visible.
While we're on the subject, I've noticed that the board claims that the maximum no. of people who've been here at any one time is 2. That can't be right, surely?

right now, according to downscreen, 0 registered and 0 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
one can only conclude that it doesn't count invisible users, and ergo and forevermore forthwith -- but I digress.

Jah, the "who's on line" thing is still descompuesto. According to it, I am the only person who is ever on the board, at least at the time when I am on this board ... if you get my drift.
