We've just done a new code release and there are a few issuettes - we'll work through them.

Do refresh your pages though - that gets rid of most of the problems (though not all).

Now my preview and post buttons keep floating around. Sometimes under the box you write in like usual, sometimes randomly off over to the right of the box, over some other stuff.

thumbscrewwitch · 31/10/2009 22:02

TheFoosa - it's been doing that for ages in Classic anyway, since the last update probably. Tis a pita, I completely agree.

ImSoNotTelling · 31/10/2009 20:41

oooh that's better. I can read it again, font has got nice and big again

TheFoosa · 31/10/2009 13:17

oh just posted doesn't look bunched up anymore, in fact looks normal now

TheFoosa · 31/10/2009 13:15

I haven't read everything obviously, but when using the search when weirdy stalking looking for a certain poster, it lists all the posts for that person, but when you click on a certain post it takes you straight to the top of the thread

does that make sense?

it still looks all bunched up and tiny with lots of gaps

classic/ie

tech most things seem to be fine ,but please fix it so those of us on classic can remove threads from "threads i am watching "

FlyMeToDunoon · 31/10/2009 12:08

Hmmm just tried changing to MN new and it's better- I can remove threads from 'threads I'm watching', the posting box is bigger, its clearer all over too.
Is this a ruse to make us all change over eh?

IControlSandwichMonkey · 31/10/2009 11:05

Is this still being worked on or is it being left as is? I haven't the stamina to read 500 posts to find out if MN new is being slowly forced upon us. My MN classic (IE7) is still utterly unworkable...

Truncation of longer names

Threads I'm On is ridiculous, bunched up, truncated, not showing as many previous posts

Topic and thread title still linked in active convos

Thread title repeated in bold at the top of the thread, makes me feel like you're repeating it slowly and with emphasis in case I hadn't understood the first time round

This box I am typing in is minuscule

I don't like the words instead of buttons for 'report' 'contact' etc

Just press ctr alt del or undo or something.

Please tell me it's going to get better?

ShouldntButcherThemWithRecords · 31/10/2009 01:06

Search still doesn't work - when it throws up a list of relecant threads, if you click on one it takes you to that part of the forum but not the individual chat.

Eg - clicking on a thread within chat takes you into 'chat' but not actually to the thread.

THen when you return to the search function all of the threads that are within 'chat' are highlighted as if you've read them all

stakethroughtheheartofgold · 30/10/2009 22:20

teeny niggle - longer usernames (e.g. mine ) are getting truncated in threads (mac/safari/classic/sober)

CaptainNancy · 30/10/2009 22:11

TECH OK- there is a javascript function called 'breaktheword' and on my browser (safari, OSX) it is failing to find the function, so every invocation fails, and as a consequence the posters' names aren't being written into the HTML.
Could be a caching problem.

theyoungvisiter · 30/10/2009 21:58

thumbscrewwitch - it should be that if you hide a thread, it disappears from threads I'm on too?

Is that not happening at the moment?

You have to actually click on the thread to hide it though.

NoNameNameyChangey · 30/10/2009 21:53

My add your message box has gone really narrow - about 6 words wide.

Classic
IE7

CaptainNancy · 30/10/2009 21:50

ARRRRGggggggghhhhhhh

There are NO POSTERS NAMES on any threads for me!!!!!

This is unusable!

safari
Macbook

Meglet · 30/10/2009 20:35

MN still won't work on my blackberry . I can read threads but it doesn't say the posters names. And it won't let me post from my blackberry full stop. I've tried changing the views and going to MN new but it made no difference. What has been changed to mess it up for phones?

I only got a blackberry so I could MN on it

JustBeBuffy · 30/10/2009 18:46

Haven't got time to read through to se if anyone else has the same problems/issues as me, so sorry if I'm repeating anything.

When I click on 'Threads I'm Watching' I used to get the list of recent posts underneath the thread title, now I don't. All there is is the Thread name, so I can't see if anyone has posted after me or not (ie whether it's worth clicking on!).
I don't always remember the time i was last on so a time of latest post doesn't help,

And it seems to show the name of last poster as the same on all my threads - which isn't actually true.

Fed up anyway to get my old MN back??? please?!

tvaerialmagpiebin · 30/10/2009 18:36

Rustybat - PMSL!!! that is just what I meant.

PerryPlatypus · 30/10/2009 18:34

Has poor BigTech's shed been fitted with padded walls yet?

Slubberdegullion · 30/10/2009 18:32

Oh my plum preview and post message boxes have gone back to standard white rectangles.

never mind. I enjoyed them while they lasted.

RustyBat · 30/10/2009 18:30

You mean "There should be a bigger space between "Dog" and "and" and "and" and "Duck".

Of course if he was writing a sign that said "Roland and Andrew", you could say "You haven't got the spaces right between "Rol" and "and" and "and" and "and" and "and" and "And" and "And" and "rew."

tvaerialmagpiebin · 30/10/2009 18:07

Second thumbscrewwitch about threads I'm on, it is dire and confusing. Agree too about removing one, I know they fall off eventually though...

thumbscrewwitch · 30/10/2009 18:00

Seriously, you HAVE to do something about Threads I'm On - it's HORRIBLE and driving me BATS! Is this some evil Hallowe'en prank that you are playing on us?

Actually, while you are at it, is there any chance there could be an option in Threads I'm On to delete or hide a Thread I'm On But Wish I Wasn't And No Longer Wish To See?

tvaerialmagpiebin · 30/10/2009 17:44

Thanks Rustybear Oops!!! I mean Rustybat.

Reminds me of that deeply tedious story about the sign writer at the dog and duck, who needed to put it between "and" and "and, and "and" and "and". Or something.

Thanks for the ctrl+ tip too, that makes a big difference.

Militanttendancy · 30/10/2009 17:24

Aahh that's better. Have cancelled appointment at "Spec-Savers"!
