Former_MSE_Neil

Hey All,

To stop people having to trawl through 14 pages of similar bug issues and reports I have created a new thread to outline what we are aware of and what we are working on. For an official insert from Martin regarding the upgrade please see http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=20386627&postcount=179

Known Issues
We are currently aware of a number of issues which we aim to resolve over the next few days this includes the following (I will attempt to add to this list any new reports that come in if they can't be fixed instantly).

• None at present.

Reporting Issues
Can you please also use this thread to report new bugs however when you do can you ensure to give us as much information as possible in particular:

1. Your Browser: eg internet explorer / firefox
2. What you were doing at the time: Posting a thread/ replying to a thread/ editing a post.
3. What board you were on before you saw the message
4. Is this the first time you have seen the message?
5. Exactly what you saw on the error page.

Sorry if this comes under user profiles but I wasn't sure.

When I click quicklinks now the 'My Profile' part is no longer there. I really miss this because it is always how I got to my posts.

Thanks for all the hard work

Edit by MSE Neil: Now resolved

Hi, apologies if this has already been discussed, but where has the "Remove thanks" button gone? For me this was a brilliant idea, because I am always pressing the thanks button by mistake eg before I do a competition and then realising I couldnt for some reason do the comp.

Edit by MSE Neil: This feature was removed but may be switched on once other functionality is fixed.

similar to user profile issues, but not urgent:

click on username on thread, drop-down menu has Find all thanked posts by ~, which gives a search result page which is blank (IE7)

and oddly, for me that page picks the wrong website icon, but I imagine that might self-cure when the other issue is fixed

[edit: Find all posts by ~ and Find all threads by ~ work with no problems]

Small problem on private message page.

Selecting the "select all" check box for all PM's or just those for one day does nothing.

It should automatically check all checkboxes in it's group, but it does not.

As below:



Occurs on Firefox and Opera. Not tested on IE, but I suspect it will be the same.

Not a big problem, but it will be annoying if you want to clear out a lot of PMs.

Never even seen one, is it only on the comps board?

No, for everyone.

It's an extra feature that the MSE admins can enable on the "thanks" system here.

It was working for a short while site-wide yesterday, but was then disabled again.

You (and others) just probably weren't logged on during the short time it was enabled.

Something very small and insignificant: The forums are using the default vbulletin favicon.
Edit by MSE Neil: Now being resolved

Something not so insignificant: You are *still* using outdated captcha on signups.
Edit by MSE Neil: This function may be switched on once other functionality is fixed.

Think they might have disabled the "Friends" option since I nominated you, Jinkles!

I did figure out how to accept you, but as you say it has now disappeared anyway
