the thing is, where i use this at work it slows my entire system down and f*cks me up with trying to work as well.

it would undoubtedly stop people coming onto the forum.


Well it serves you right for posting during work hours doesn't it??!! BRRAAPP BRRRAAAAPP BRAAAAAPPPPPP!!! Laughing Wink

I've been away from the forum for a while but at least it explains why there has been so little discussion concerning the Euro final and the Ronaldo transfer saga.

Steely is bang on about the loss of posts due to adding a smilie and clicking submit etc. I copy my posts regularly before clicking submit now to avoid losing them. So annoying having to retype long posts Evil or Very Mad

If I am writing a long post, I always copy it out of habit. Again this stems from when we were having daily down time on the forum. I haven't lost a post in a long time now to be honest with you.

How many people actually have this problem with the smilies? How often does it happen? What browsers do you use? I need browser and version.

Intermittant issues are always the hardest to diagnose and resolve - therefore the more information we have the better.

One way to "fix" the smilie delete thing is to hit ctrl+z and it will go back to before you hit the smilie button. But that was a huge annoyance.

Not to mention the whole submit glitch where after writing a huge post only to have it go to waste.

It just seems like when one thing is fixed another has a problem.

Yep. It worked for me. I guess it works like in Word. But it doesn't work for all, just for small parts of text like when the smilie glitch occurs.

No way of getting these back unfortunately - however with a new strategy in place, this should not happen again.

Guys I know it is a sh!t situation, however we need to move forward now. I am just as unhappy about losing those posts as you are. They are gone now though and nothing can be done to restore them. The important thing is that from this we have been able to create a more stable forum/site as we have servers which will auto swap over if this ever happens again.

well in my opnion there are silly little things that annoy , the `ManU` problem , when any word has `ManU` in it it comes out like you have just shown when you posted the word `Manually` .


Fixed, as you can probably see. If you see any more like this let me know.

The problem where you cannot post a video or some pictures with team names or whatever , you cannot post more than one video on the same page .


The team names thing is related to the above problem. So that should be ok now.

I'll have a mess around to see what's causing the video problem.

A new problem is the descriptions underneathe the topic titles , they no longer go all the way across so you have less space to fill in a suitable description ..


fixed

I`m not saying the look of the site is rubbish , and a lot is better but for me the forum is not as fast as it was , maybe it is my work computer partly to blame , i want to know what others think , do they find it slow at all ...is everyone happy with the forum and how it runs .


It runs ok for me. Even on my 7-year-old Pentium 3 machine :p but still, we're looking into performance improvements all the time. What spec is the machine you're on (processor, memory, etc)? I'm suspecting that it may be something to do with the ads, since the individual pages on the forum are actually smaller & lighter now than they were before the last redesign.

well i think when some of us have written a post , we then add whatever smilie we want to the end .


I haven't noticed this myself, I use bbcode smileys out of habit Laughing I'll keep an eye out for this.

I've also spotted a few layout issues, I'll pass these on to the appropriate people.

Sorry for the uber-long post but I agree that this forum is long overdue a bug-hunting session. Twisted Evil

In the General Section there is something weird going on. Sort of like inter-meshing of posts.

Someone has probably mentioed this by now, but use firefox.

I used to get those problems in internet explorer, but on firefox i've never, ever had that problem. In the last 3 years - NOT ONCE.

It's not that hard. Just download and enjoy.

Plus it is a better browser as well. IE is good but it doesn't have the custmizeability of FF.
