I get HUGE FONT for some sigs (JEEG's)
Quick reply throws me to some weird upper page
Some pages with images just show flikr links

This page to be exact http://xdrivers.co.uk/forum/https://xdr ... ic.php?t=7

Using quick reply>after send sent me up a level and out of this thread

Using Firefox
[/quote]

I think we'll have to solve the sigs one by one I'm afraid (unless I can run some ninja SQL to do it)

As for the quick reply, you can alter that in your profile, under "look and feel":

the option is "Return to topics after posting by default"
[/quote]

Mine was ticked?

maybe my profile is just warming up

Testing quick reply
[/quote]Just finding my way around our new layout, it does look posh now! Glad the transition went smooth for all our admin guys, bet its always a worry when doing something like this.
Happy posting  :)

LOL, perhaps "smoothly" was a bit over optimistic :)

Here's the latest...

- Quick reply behaviour has been fixed and deployed site-wide (hence already ticked)
- Images should now be displaying properly

Still to do...

- Figure out why the home button seems to log some people out (it doesn't do it here. Can people report if it does it for them too?)
- Figure out search options for active topics and view own posts

Cheers guys, keep the feedback coming

[/quote] Clicking home doesnt log me out so i must be one of the lucky ones! i did wonder where all the images had gone as they were just displaying an x in a box for me, good luck going forward with all the changes, having great patience in your field is a must then i would imagine.

Seems a bit random actually... am still seeing some broken ones. If I re-save the post it fixes the images though.

Hmm...the first page I went on was OK on that link but the additional pages were still odd. Sure it will sort itself out

The Home button has worked properly now - sure you didn't change anything? :crazy1:

Sorry had to use that smilie!

And yes - pls bring back the Active Posts - using New Replies used to show 'up to so many hours old', rather than Active Posts which would show ALL posts made since your last visit that had not been read.

Sorry for the extra work on your Bank Holiday. Another smilie time. :wavesad:

LOL, no worries... am sure we can correct all the important features that people used, am just trying to nail the critical things like broken images first. Once I have done that I'll figure out how to add the searchy things back.

I agree some images are fine & some are still yet to appear on the later pages, it will all come together i am sure, all the best.

Forgot to mention - that Active Posts link made unread posts a different colour, this was the URL if it helps:

Oh and Jeegnesh is a massive sig. for starters.

Gonna piss you off now I think. New Replies (top right)...

What should I see, no updates to New Replies beyond X5Sports 5:55 pm post. Is that right - would have thought all our posts on this thread would have populated that too?
