Complaints About New Forum Version
 

I've made a few "fixes" in the last 24 hours. Some of them may take care of your own pet peeves. I need to know what problems still exist. To make it easy for me to track them down, I need specific examples of the problems.

What I'd like to ask is that you verify that the problems you've had still exist, and if so put a reply under this post that describes the problem in as much detail as possible, and without extraneous noise. Before you do so, though, please make sure that someone hasn't reported the same problem. Use meaningful subjects to make this easy. If you want to provide support for an already reported problem do so as a reply to the original post...not as a new post.

I have limited time to work on this at the moment and need to spend my time where it will do the most good.

Thanks,

Chuck

using back button deletes work
 

the back button on our browser deletes all work written into this "post" box.

i typed a long response w/ math and analysis and got an error message that said "this form is no longer valid, please use your browsers back button"

i used the back button and got all my work erased.

Inconsistency in deciphering who is responding to whom (Pics!)
 

I can't tell who is responding to whom when first viewing the forum. Here is an example. I open HUSH and see that josh1122 responded to a post of mine:

Ok cool. So let's say I click on his post to see what he's saying to me. I am taken to this screen:

where I see that he wasn't, in fact, responding to my post, but rather we are both responding to the original post in the thread.


There are lots of little problems like this. I will point them out and explain them as I see them, but it will take some time, and I won't be able to do them all today.

Using back button expires search page
 

When you open a link from a list returned by a search, and if you then hit the back button to return to the list, you get a white page saying that the page is expired and to hit refresh. If you then hit refresh, you get a button that says "retry", and if you click that, you finally get the search list back, often after waiting a considerable time for the search to be performed again. The only way to avoid this is to open every link in a new window by right clicking, which is a major pain.

Hi, Chuck. Your work is appreciated. Can you tell us what you already fixed?

The PM limitation is still an issue. I've had a couple people tell me that they cannot access their mailbox to even delete. If that's true for others perhaps we can lift the limit for a short period of time and tell people they have x number of days to clean up their box at which point the limit is restored.

Or . . . just get rid of the limit.

I would love to see this fixed too. This is driving me insane.
