Everything should work now.
I just came in after finally figuring out the password stuff. I don't know why the five-post thing is listed at the top of this page amidst these words:
"If you can see this post, you're logged in to Mellophant. Unfortunately, avatars were not transferred during the import of the DoMeBo database. You can upload an avatar to Mellophant by visiting this page and following the instructions." DONE
Also, why wouldn't the information be on the linked page? I tried to figure out the avatar instructions, looked for other folks avatars and finally searched this thread to learn the five-post rule.
What's up with the " Go to First Unread Post" button. It only shows up for the first few threads in a forum. Even though there are threads lower down that have new post that I haven't read yet. And if I click on it in a thread I haven't read any post yet it take's me to a post half way through the thread and skips post I haven't read. This feature worked much better on the old board. I just wanted to say this is a small thing and can wait for more pressing fixes if it can be fixed at all. I think it works the same way at the 'Raffe.
Thanks for all the hard work guys.
We are setting up as we speak. This is a good suggestion for the header message and we also need to revise the FAQs and integrate them into the vB FAQ.Quote:

Thanks all.
And capital letters we got it all here.:dumbo:Quote:

Now I need a sig and custom title.
ETA: Sig now added. I'm not clever wnough to think of a custom title.
DONE and yea!
I do not like what new posts is doing. Can I make it stop?
Sorry if this has already been reported, but if I leave chat idle for a few minutes, it just completely stops working. My next message never shows up and nobody else's do either. If I refresh the page, everything starts working (and I can see the messages I submitted while it was frozen).
ETA: Using firefox 3
I'll be looking at some bugs in chat tonight. Glazer is also having issues.Quote:

Paranoid Post: Who added the red 'Done and yea!' bit to my post? And why?Quote:

Like right now it says New posts: 44 (In 20 Threads) and sometimes if I click wrong, it says New posts: checking and I can't go to the new posts page. I don't want it to tell me how many new posts and threads there are.
The admins were adding red notes to the requests in this thread, to indicate when they had taken care of it. So, your request for Capitals got a "done" note, and I think the "yea!" part was a little joke about your adding your sig & title. ;)Quote:

Yeah, that's what I figured. It was just odd not to see the 'edited by All-Powerful Mod' note in my post. :)
Sorry, this thread is a check list and the 'Yea' was that you made it in, happy to see you posting is all. The thread has a lot of Red ink in it if you scroll through.Quote:

I set the refresh time way down. It went from 60 seconds (far too often) to 600 Seconds. The New Post numbers still show, but the button should now be available 99% of the time or within a few seconds. The built in New Posts was not working well and not grabbing all the new posts. This one seems to do a superior job.Quote:

If I view my subscriptions, and click the "last post" button to get to the couple new posts at the end of whatever thread I was reading, it doesn't unbold the thread. I have to click the thread title (or the last page if it's multiple pages) to convince it that I'm caught up.
Polls get bumped every time someone new answers, even if there's not a new post. Could that be changed?
This one was on purpose for now. Let's try it a little longer.Quote:

Yep, priority tonight is seeing if I can fix the odd chat problem.Quote:

Well I am striking out on the chat issue: Here is my inquiry to the designers.
Spoiler tags from old posts appear to be broken. Here is an example.
Had to Fix manually but found via SQL.
clicking on "new posts"from forum main page returns #of new posts, but not the threads, Pretty pointless.
Works fine for me. Wait, I just tried, I think you have to click on the number, not on the words "New Posts" themselves.
ALSO WHY IS EVERYONE SO DAMN KEEN ON ME REMEMBERING CAMELOT ANYWAY
(The size tag works different on vBulletin, so a bunch of people's sigs have been way bigger than they should be)
The link to the new posts is actually the numbers after the new Posts: Please give it a try.Quote:

New posts is broken. It just says checking and won't take me to the new posts screen.
Now it just says "New Posts" without the number and I like it so much better that way!
Yay! It's working again!
Exy is saying he can't post or send PM's. Can someone make sure he has permission to do those things? Am asking for more details from him.
Trying now without the WYSIWYG editor just in hopes it'll help?Quote:

Chances are whatever affected me affected others.
Yep.Quote:

huh, to make it odder.. I added a sentence to the last post (saying that starting a thread is apparently impossible).
the "last edited" tag came up but the edit did not.
and the buttons in the regular reply and quick reply.. looks like making a link is just cut out for some reason.
Apparently I can post again since I deactivated the WYSIWYG editor.
Does some modely person want to make an announcement telling people not to use WYSIWYG until whatever this is gets fixed?
how do you do that?
You go to your Control Panel and then Edit options. Near the bottom is an option for your preferred type of editor. Standard editor works for the most part, but the formatting buttons seem to be broken, too.
I can't start new threads. If I try, it says my post is too short.
GAH! I can't edit to say that I should have read the thread!
Nothing like having your obvious failure to read a thread exposed like Mitchell's model on Project Runway!
whatever it is that's doing this.. put a post it on there that says DON'T PUSH THIS BUTTON.
hope there's an undo..
Go to the control panel, then Edit Options, then scroll to the Miscellaneous options at the bottom, and the first dropdown box choose "Basic Editor".Quote:
