Thread: A few more issues

I think that when I stab the Whats New tab then the list of new threads come up. I believe that if I reply to one and then hit whats new then the new post is not in the list. Id like to see it like it was where that post was at the top and not highlighted as unread. What I have been doing is replying and then searching for stuff only to lose the thread I just replied to.

This is just a curiousity issue really, but to the right of the member name there seems to be a button for a pull down menu. When I click on it or hover absolutly nothing happens... Is this a place holder for upcoming goodies, or just redundant?

I like the way the site is turning out quite a bit and like others have mentioned really appreciate all the work that has gone into this site in the past, present and for the forseeable future (say the next 200 years ).

I noticed that behavior change as well ravells. I'm getting used to it but I too like to preserve my session when I click on links I'm not sure I will want to continue with.

@Korash: Do you mean to the right of our names in our posts? That's the member "online lightbulb" from what I can tell.

Sorry if this has been mentioned but when I include a zip file I'm never really sure if it's worked until I post the message. It doesn't show up in the body of the message that I am writing and if I preview it the attached file box is filled with gobbledigook machine code of some kind. I guess it is only superficial as it's worked every time when I posted but it always creates doubts and the first time I posted I kept trying to insert it again and again because I didn't think it had worked.

Keep up the good work, Arcana. You're doing a bang-up job and everyone on here appreciates all your hard work.

I've just spotted that if you do a search within a thread (rather than the forum) the text in the search box is white against white.

Yeah it's the on-line lightbulb...maybe it's your browser, Korash? Weird that it's showing a dropdown menu, it should look like a small gem.

I'd like to mention that there seems to be no way to search for "threads started by" users, which is a very common function in vB. For a site like this, that's awfully important, IMHO.

Just wanted to mention that.

But, the forums are really, really nice! I like the layout and colors!

I was able to search for threads started by myself while I was looking through the challenge threads.

Turns out you just have to be careful which "Search" link you use (perhaps the one at the top needs adjusting?)
Choose the following one in the top right (it's not visible until you actually go into a forum - and i just noticed it's not there when you're reading a thread, you need to be in a portion of the forum that's listing threads or subforums)


Then you see the following options, woot!

Thanks!!! Yeah, I used the one at the top.
