Forum Update Glitch List

MSE_Martin

Hi folks

The main forum update thread has become overtaken with discussion about fixed versus stretchy.

We're losing track of the glitch reporting in there. So can this thread be dedicated just to glitches and bugs (rather than rights and wrongs of the new look).

Please report them below and my techie team will look at it.

I don't know if this glitch/bug is new or not as today is the first time I am properly using the new look forum as I have (up until today) stayed with the 'old look'. Anyway, the only problem I have so far is when on page 1 of a thread, if I click on quick links to see my subscribed threads the words subscribed threads are partially obscured by the facebook recommend link.

If I go back to old look then the problem doesn't exist because the facebook link isn't available in old look.

I'm having a range of problems - when I click on some buttons a new page opens so I end up with loads of pages open and keep having to go through and close them.

If I start on Forums and click on Relationship thread, it opens on same page. If I go to the second page, it opens on a new page. If I then click on a topic, it opens on a new page. If I go to page 2 of the topic, it opens on a new page. It pretty soon gets out of hand and is really annoying!

Didn't we used to be able to go to the first unread post in a thread? I can't find that now.

As well as the faults I reported on the other thread (do I need to repeat). The navigaition on the forum is a lot slower, whether I am moving between boards, opening threads, posting or even just hitting the back button, there is a definite lag of a couple of seconds before the page has loaded.

xp Pro - ie8


ETA the lag for a page opening can be up to 7 seconds now.

Same here on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit SP1 and Chrome

EDIT: I've narrowed this down to selecting 'Old Look' in user CP, it doesn't happen when 'New Masthead/Stretchy/less bright' is selected.

The fixed size only takes up a third of my computer screen and it's not a large screen. It's very bright and has so much wasted space it's unbelievable, I had headache within a short time of using it.
Thank you for giving us the stretched, less bright option - can that stay please. x

Hi I don't know whether anyone can advise, but I can no longer access the site via Safari, I've had to change to Firefox.
This is not a major problem, but I only have Safari on my Ipod Touch (I read in bed when my insomnia kicks in ) so wonder if someone could advise how I can overcome this please?

Thanks, Mac
Ps I like the new masthead, but prefer stretchy

Just seen this fix on the other thread - go to the new stretchy look, rather than the old look. It's solved it for me.

Only a little thing but the words at the top of GIOL don't line up with the boxes (I'm on Chrome)

As I said... only a little thing!!!
