Post technical questions and issues here. Yes, the layout is slightly different!

Nothing's wrong, that's your browser processing the fact that those buttons are supposed to be minimized. If it's long enough that it's causing navigation issues, you may need to upgrade... something, I dunno. That second screen doesn't last more than half a second, tops, if I see it.

 

Lol, okay. So I guess I'll just wait another few seconds before trying to go anywhere when I come online. My computer is old, but my browser is up to date, so I don't know what I should update either. Thanks!

 

Okay, thanks! I usually do all the updates, so I guess it's just something my dinosaur can't handle.

 

Is there a way to stop the different sections collapsing into tabs?

 

Not yet for individual sections, no. It is possible to disable it for the entire board, but then the forum list becomes borderline innavigable, and we used to default to collapsed on IGN, so I don't think that's an option we have on the table.

 

Ah I see. I always thought on the temp boards that they didn't have collapsable tabs and wondered.

Thanks anyway.

EDIT: In fact, when the main page initially loads it doesn't tab itself, but once it's fully loaded then tabs suddenly appear.

 

Harpuah - and anyone else who gets the javascript error message:

Here's a page that tells how to open the Javascript (or web) console in various browsers. If you get the error, open the console and copy/paste the error messages here.

Note that in Firefox (version 13.0.1 anyway) you can also open the web console by going to Tools>>Web Developer>>Web Console.

 

Is there a way to link to a specific message in a thread? You could do it on the old boards. Is there a formula for addresses for doing it here?

 

[standard thread url]/page-[page number]#post-[specific post ID]

It can also be found by simply clicking the number adjacent to the like button.

 

I see, thank you.

 

How's it coming on those missing/truncated posts?

 

I'm having issues with posts and threads randomly disappearing. I can't access the EUC Sith thread from the list on the forum. I can only access it through alerts, looking in my post archive, or in the latest post listing before entering the specific forum.

A post randomly disappeared in an RPF thread as well, and will only show up when I log out. I don't have anyone on ignore or anything so I don't see how it could be that.

 

Is there a Favourite Boards option yet? Or something that doesn't require me to expand the main forum, before going into the subforum, every time I visit?

 

Well, I think theoretically one could hard-code prefix links into the base board description (See that bit of text below Welcome? That.) so that they can be seen on the front page, pre-expansion. Might look a bit garish, though.

 

Just add your favorite boards to your bookmarks. It's not the best solution, but it works.

 

I'm having a hard time posting in the RPF. I got one post to post the other half keeps saying error in javascript.

EDIT: I found out what the problem is. It's the TAG ALERT @

 

Just curious... any updates on the stars? Thanks.

 

Haven't heard anything. Grimby is on reduced time this week due to workload and deadlines.

 

OK, thanks.

 

In compatibiity mode (IE9 on Win 7), the top bar gets partially blocked (conversations/alerts, etc.) so that it's almost impossible to see or click on. And one can only cut/paste ONCE without an error & losing the page if not in compatibility mode or getting the java script error.

And once you open up a conversation, there's no visible way of returning to the main board. Guessing what tiny little snip is the main board here (not the whole of tf.n) - well, I constantly guess wrong, have to close the page & reopen in my favs.

Darn it all, I can't seem to figure out to post a screen shot. (yet)

 

Did you try turning compatibility mode off for this site to see if that helped? Alternatively you could try a different browser. I use Firefox and haven't had issues like that.
