@DoesntWork,
DoesntWork wrote:* Always on the first page of a subject only the first one post gets displayed. The others not. It starts working on the 2nd 3rd,... pages. But all other posts of the first page are not visible. Browser newest Opera. The browser just always shows that it wants to load some ads, but it seems like he doesn't get any answer from the corresponding server. Is it possible that this is a country problem, and therefore the server doesn't deliver?
I will look into it, it actually could be a bit of cosmic irony, as I turned off ads hoping to make for a better transition, perhaps doing so caused a glitch in Opera so I'll check with that browser.
Quote:* They said on philosophyforum, that they will send an email to everyone after the transfer with the instructions how to log in.
Well I didn't get any. And my previous password was not accepted.
I sent out the email early this morning sometime, but if you go to the contact us link in the footer of every page and submit a ticket I can help you out.

Fatal error: Call to a member function generateSalt() on a non-object in /home/a2korg/public_html/account/index.php on line 79
Yeah, sorry about that. Nick (our programmer, who we love but are going to kill for this) was fixing something and broke something else. I forgive him because I get how programming works and know he's pretty damn good, but if you don't I understand and offer to beat him up or something.
Either way, he just fixed that a while ago.
Quote:* Is it just me, or is the view very chaotic. IMHO on the old forum, the overview of the posts was much much better. Here only very few threads are displayed and everything in one clump. The ordered small excel like view of the old forum was IMHO much better. There you could really see everything with just a short sight.
I think some things are better some worse. Hierarchy of forums isn't as good here, and needs some huge improvements. The topic grid can also use a lot of improvement but is actually less cluttered than the VB grids and has about the same information.
Quote:* A lot of the formatting special codes are not available in this forum. So on some threads you just get wasted with a lot of uninterpreted forum code...
Please filter at least this code out! Otherwise some posts are hardly readable.
We are working on this, please give us links to each example you find so we can test our fixes.
Quote:* Some parts in the messages have been deleted???
E.g. on my last thread where I posted, one quote by me is completely empty???
Send them to us, we'll fix them. It's due to non-standard characters that we'll convert to better ones. Sometimes if a post has one of Microsoft's "smart" quotes it will do that and we are going to be running find/replace fixes. The more examples you can give us the better, as we have over 4 million posts in the database and would like to nail the find/replace in as few passes as possible.
Quote:* The voting system with good or bad is in my opinion just childish and has nothing to do with a good conversation atmosphere. I absolutely liked the "Thank you" button of the old forum. But this thumbs up and down story is something completely different and shows IMHO also the "romanic empire" style in this forum, whereas on the old forum you could inspire someone and thank him, but not throw him in the gutters. This shows IMHO much about the perspective of mind behind this forum.
Whether you like the voting or not is one thing but I doubt you've gained much useful insight into "the perspective of mind behind this forum" based on it.
Quote:The only positive thing I see about this forum is, that the image tags are enabled...
This post may sound harsh. But that's the way I feel about it...Sorry
Don't be sorry for giving an opinion, but I think you'd feel differently with a less impulsive reaction (perhaps, for example, you'd find more than one positive).
