Guys: Your posts here are the list that IB is working from to get things resolved. Once issues are resolved then I have been going through and deleting all the posts with issues in it.

Please do NOT cross the line between mentioning an issue and whining about it not being fixed already.

It's been said already that the flip to vB4 was a huge upgrade. While it may feel like a 'downgrade' as the kinks are worked out, the reality is that vB has much more options and functionality to help us eliminate SPAM, to create and mangage new features, and to expand the forums. The first few weeks are always toughest, but after that, things not only get better, but we can actually start playing with these new features on the Admin side and get them going nicely for everyone.

^ See above. You need to give the techs some time. Also, getting a picture of the PM issue might help the techs out in addition to what browser you're using, and what version of that browser.

[Arkadin]

thanks so much for the update Steph.
It is really appreciated.

[IBsteph]

No problemo..:-)

here's what's been fixed so far:

- New users cannot post links until they have more than 15 posts (this number can be changed if needed).
- New navigation breadcrumbs at the bottom of each thread have been added.

Hello,
With the latest update to the forums that was done on Aug.19th I have discovered a problem with the search feature. This is specifically in the Blu-ray Disc Exchange forum. When I search for the word "league" ( I'm actually searching for She's Out of My League ) and I select "show post only" the results I get are for everything that is on the forums. Five pages total. In the past, I only got results in that particular thread. Can this be fixed ? PLEASE.

Thank you in advance

this may be a bug.
It used to be when you chose to change your avatar on HDD with an image address from an amazon bd image from an order link that it would fill up the square perfectly when you changed your avatar.
but I tried two such artwork icons today and they have big white borders around them now, and don't look good at all.
so I went back to my "regular" avatar.
I really like using these type of artwork links for my avatar every now and then, so maybe this could be looked into when someone gets a chance.
very minor issue, but something seems messed up for sure.
thanks.

forgot to ask: what browser are you using please?

Steph, at home on internet explorer 6 and Mozilla Firefox and at work with internet explorer 8. this happens on all three. Now if I go to the "advanced" selection in the search, and then fill in the areas I need in the advanced, it will work. But I don't think it's intended to have to go that far just to search for a title. And definatley not like it used to be.

Just my 2 cents worth, personally for me, and I'm sure many others too, but I liked to other look of the previous setup much better. I'm sure the admins have spent alot of time desigining the new look, but the previous was easier to read, view, etc. Like I said, just my two cents worth. And I'll still be here many times each day.

Thanks again.

Any chance that a fix for the "code" tag could slip into the next revision?

I have a description of the problem and a suggested CSS workaround in this post:

Another possible CSS workaround is to simply remove the "word-wrap: break-word;" line from the .postcontent class.

The displayed text in the preview pane in the code fields still is not WYSIWYG once the post is finalized as the text font and size and spacing in the preview text message post pane is not the same as is found on the displayed posts.

[IBsteph]

Just an update: we are currently working on the search issue, will keep you posted!

-Thx

[Arkadin]

hey steph--any chance the thread font size will be looked at soon?
and the font size inside the box as you compose a post--it is still tiny compared to what it looks like after posting.
would really be great to get those two things fixed.
thanks so much.

Thank you Steph.

update: looks like the font issue when posting has been partially fixed.
the print in not tiny while you are posting anymore, BUT is still tiny when you are editing a post.
so perhaps the tech just overlooked checking that aspect out when he worked on the overall issue.
things are getting better, so thanks for that.
