    Well, it posted this to a difrent page, then it moved here. odd.

    it posts to the page you currently are on(or makes it seem like that is what is happening). even if others have updated the thread with a post. you won't know until you do a proper refresh. then you can see where it falls.

    It seems to me like what happens is, it posts to the last position in the thread, but if you are on an earlier page, you still see yours right at the bottom of that page. Then later when you come back to the thread, it is correct chronological order.

    Very strange behvior and highly confusing. At first I thought it was doing the old Drupal thing where replies would be hung off the post they were responding to and you'd get later posts above earlier ones (chronologically). But it seems not.

    That is exactly what happened. I was trying to quite both original posts together as a 'like this post' sort of thing. It also collapsed both quotes hiding the pics.

    Well, now I'm not seeing some of the smileys. Also, for some reason none of the moderator avatars but all the others are showing up. And the massive font thing is gettiing to the point where I'm just not interested in reading here anymore.

    One thing I've noticed is that your username stretches across the text of the post.

    CHEERS!

    That reads rather funny. Your text has become roadkill, cheers!

    lol, yes it completely steemroals my text, just like any broken html will. Still, half the world not seeing pics on an art forum is a bit more critical then text overlapping text, lol.

    (edit, for comparison, lol)

    Your name doesn't overlap, it wraps, in the dark version.  That says to me that there is a mismatch in CSS formatting.  The only difference between the pages should be, this one is dark, this one is light.  The light one is missing a style that wraps the text.  It surprised me (the wrapping, not that they are obviously using two different base pages).

    So, in any case, because the HTML is NOT w3c compliant, that's why it is so different in most browsers. And nobody is seeing the same page, lol.

    OK, so it's not missing CSS, it's a lack of testing.  Ask me if I'm surprised.   indecision

    Possibly the most important tool for accessing the FORUM is a SEARCH FUNCTION.  If I want to find out about a product, or a vendor to ask questions, leave comments I need SEARCH.

    Can't find it in this new improved joke of a forum.

    What happened to common sense these days? Too many program updates screw things up that used to work just fine. Let's hope this forum is not like that.

    Finally got all my old messages deleted (again lol)... really should add in some check boxes on the main messages list page and allow a mass deletion rather than one at at time! Thanks!

    Although there is one good thing about all the old 'deleted' messages pulling zombie duty...I found a message about a something I haven't been able to recover from my crashed hard drive, so I now have a way of getting it back...but other than that small silver linig, having to go one by one and delete them all again is a PITA.

    Greetings,

    If you have a link to a specific comment, you can rewrite that comment by taking the comment-id at the end, as follows:

    http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/20391/P15/#305146

    becomes

    http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/305146/#Comment_305146

    Or, simpler, keeping the previous URL format:

    http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/20391/P15/#Comment_305146

    I hope that helps.  Optimally, they could edit the existing code to generate HTML to remove the 'Comment_' prefix, and then previous links would 'Just Work' in theory.  But that might break other things on the page; I don't know offhand...

    1. The image problems are not browser, OS, version or even person specific.

    2. They are 'tidal'...they come and go.

    3. CSS/formatting problems are not browser specific.

    4. THEY, too, are 'tidal'.

    5. Avatar problems...

    You get the drift...and it's looking like a sync/cloud/server/cache type issue, from where I sit.

    Note to self:  Don't click Quote and then edit the quoted comment. 

             This works until search button can be added to the forums:  http://www.daz3d.com/forums/search

    Hi Daz Moderators . do you know if and when they are going to return our uploaded pictures all I am getting is Blank place holders and 404 errors i was going to post this thread to google plus http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/9050/art-animations-by-ivy-summers/p21

    But the pictures are gone?  Help!

    This has been reported and is, I believe, being looked at. However the images are gone in different threads for diferent users - it isn't simply that the files are missing.

    So do we remove or reupload the missing ones ?

    No please just be patient and let the web devs do their investigation and any fixes before you reupload images that are already in the data base.

    No, since the images appear to still be there - it seems to be a problem between the file location and the users.

    When I post a comment with a quote, the insertion point starts out inside the quote and its not intuitive how to get it out of the quote.

    What's worse is we're starting to get conversations where some people know how to insert the cursor at the end like it's supposed to be, and some people haven't figured it out yet or don't realise they should do it. End result? The actual sequence of the quotes ping-pongs back and forth from top to bottom, working out from the middle where the oldest quote layer is.

    Not acceptable — this should never be allowed to happen in modern forum software.

    ...OK, now I'm getting a new error. Whenver I try to cut or copy and paste text in the comment editing window, I get this popup that tells me it can't be done due to my browser's security settings.  DIdn't have this trouble yesterday and I've made no changes to any FF settings.

    Still also not pleased that Magento (as that is what the forum must have been migrated to by the look of the pages) overrides FF's auto spell checking. The one downside of using the Source button is contractions and possessives that use the ' character get a code (#39;) inserted causing the spell checker to flag the word or name as a spelling error even if it is spelled correctly.

    Not new to me, the new forum's always done that. Firefox here as well, not updated to v39 yet.

     It's not Magenta but rather Vanilla or at least that's what I see when I check the source code.

    they were there less then 20 hours ago,  because I went through them all to make sure everything was still there, and  they were, and some missing  I just looked at 12 hours ago (could be 14 now, I don't keep track of the time all the time)

    so were you implying they are just now doing the copying , and  when I first look, was not the new copies, and what I see now is ?

    as long as things  get back I'm okay with  some waiting

    From what you're saying, it sounds like they're breaking them rather than fixing them.  frown

    Dana

    maybe just that, they are breaking them so they can fix them,  even though they worked before . . . I don't get it   ,, I just confused myself . . where am I

    at least a copy paste should work with your links my links have an equal sign and a space that I have to remove in order to fix the link

    The new forum seems to be lacking in basic forum functionality. Either that, or I'm missing some things.

    Having to enter a thread on whatever-the-heck page the software decides to send me to (on this one, it was page 2 of 24 the first time I visited it, page 24 the second) before I can tell it to go to the beginning/end/whatever? Bad Design.

    No apparent way to go to a specific page number other than manually editing the URL? Bad Design.

    No apparent way to link to a specific post? Very Bad Design.

    Also, I found the old "someone posted in Thread X, and said {insert post here}" notifications MUCH more useful than the new "Person Y commented on Thread X".
