Whenever I click on a new discussion thread, it opens up on the second post and I have to scroll back up to see the OP. :SICK: Am I doing something wrong (need to reconfigure my setup in some way)?
Hang me for this,its ok… Theres quite some functionality just taken away in this release and stuff that just does not work. I appreciate your effort SB, but my honest opinion is that I prefer the previous version. I must admit, Im not sure why this release was pushed, might be good reason though.
They are discontinuing security updates for the old version. Meaning if you tried to stay on the old version it would become vulnerable to hacking. Sb put off updating as long as he could.
I have noticed, that with some frequency when clicking a post and having it open in a new tab that the page will not load. I never had this problem with the old server. I am running Firefox and Chrome on Windows 7 with multiple machines and have seen the behavior on multiple machines as well as Android. I have also seen this across multiple network providers.
It could be a bandwidth problem or a problem with the initial page request or part of the initial handshake being eaten somewhere.
Actually the “X new” link should take you directly to the first new post number, not necessarily to post #2. This feature actually seems to work well (for you guys at least, unfortunately there’s a major bug for me with my admin privileges ), which is one of the few major advantages of this upgrade.
Yeah, I won’t disagree with you on this. But it was unfortunately necessary, because it’s absolutely imperative to be using software with security updates. These complex forum engines always have bugs, and if the developers don’t look for and fix them the bad guys will find them and exploit them. So I really didn’t have any choice but to upgrade.
I have. It happens to me several times a day, but I skim every new post on the forum. I just reload the page that won't load, and the problem is gone. ;)
By the way, I use Chrome on Windows 7 and Windows 8.
