    This is a list of issues we are working on due to the migration to xenforo.

    • Some Posts are appearing in the moderation queue. This is quite by accident i assure you. I double checked the permissions and things look okay but as we see posts pop up for moderation/approval, we will look at those users specifically to see if anything else needs to be tweaked.
    • Add "new posts" and "subscribed" links back to the top navbar. This wasn't default in vb4 or xenforo - I just need to add it back in.
    • Coming Soon...
    Update

    Firefox bug clash with forums:

    We've had a few members who have had some forum glitches due to this, so I thought I'd put up a thread just in case.

    If you're using an older version of Firefox 9, you may sometimes, after prompting to create a new thread, reply or even a private message, be left without a subject box to enter message content into.

    This IS a problem with Firefox itself and not with the XenForo board software, and this can be fixed as easily as updating your browser. For more information, check out this thread:

    "new posts" is still there. It's just called "What's New?" now.

    Oh and also "Watched Threads". But I don't subscribe to anything so I don't really give a shit about that one. But it's there.

    Sometimes when I got to the forum index it gives me an error.

    I'll clear cookies and see if that does anything.

    Correct that, anytime I try and look at the index while logged in, I get an error.

    edit: deleted cookies, same prob. I'm only in here by checking recent activity, can't browse index logged in.

    No prob browsing not logged in though, weird.

    The data from the blogs is saved but not imported yet into the new blog tool. The new blogs are sweet.

    I ended up creating a new account because the one I was using broke?All my posts are under a name that was never mine. My posts in the kitchen have the name "shiva8695" which was a friend's account, never mine. I don't know what e-mail the password reminder went to and so I can't log into MY account.
    :die:
    Oh and that is after a week of being unable to even get on here. Even google searches would send me to a white "test" screen.

    Sorry :(

    They must have had the same email address - it merged some users who did.

    I have a white comment box that has no way to add a comment on that first entry. Below there are black comment boxes for an entry, I can't delete the initial entry so that I can clean it up and put a comment in the first section under the photos where it should be. The edit is now visible but I would like to delete that comment that is not in the first entry so I can put one in the white box.

    but we didn't use the same e-mail. This doesn't make sense. I know I'm not loosing valuable info but...that was me and now i have to start over.

    Maybe it's just me, but it seems like there is only 1 person working on things at any given time. And I've continuously
    been given the wrong impression by more than a few people here of what's happening with this site.
    (because shit isn't being taken care of)

    I'm disappointed. I do not like this forums board currently. Small glitch-issues aside.

    On the "What are you listening to" thread there is no edit tab, anyone else missing the edit functions

    Uhh, what "impression" are you talking about?
    In any case, obviously we do not have a multitude of staff running around. Realise on top of that there isn't many in the administration that does back end work so we do what we can when we can with what resources we have available. This new board is a solution to many problems which was plaguing the old board because it just wasn't supported, and I know you had some issues with some of the functions of that one, which just couldn't be fixed.
    We still have our sights very firmly set on plans we've set out, but since we're a small group we've got to take it bit by bit. Patience is a virtue.

    I'm willing to adjust your post count and things like that. Or even rename the old account to your current name so you can get into that instead of you prefer.

    It is unacceptable to not be able to edit your own posts/threads. We need the function to be able to edit
    whenever.

    If you're gonna copy the SRK/8WayRun forums boards, don't flub out on everything they're doing.

    Lol no

    It's a timed edit and just like here lots of boards have it as an anti-spam measure - at the moment if you want to update something, just add a post on the end. I hardly see this as anything world breaking but if you wish to appeal it, at least address why.

    Also I have no idea what you're going on about with SRK (which I've never gone to ever) or whatever the hell 8WayRun is, but the board is XenForo forum software which anybody can licence for a fee, and was the standout alternative against the ailing Vb we had, end of story. The change only just happened, so cut us a break while we sort all the kinks out.

    Yeah, someone could get the red ass and delete all their post, leaving only a kiss my ass smiley. I know one case where a person deleted 6 years of post
