Bob, here is a general summary-- some or most of these things may have been solved, are in the process of being solved, or presumably remain as they are... and I'm no techie, so forgive the simplicity of the list regarding tech issues


 - 10 Latest Posts missing

 - member's reviews link in Member Profile missing

 - problem with diacritics

 - bug in Active Posts (from Rico's post)

 - errors with the Search Feature bringing members to a Server Error in Forum Application page (from     ManWithHat's post)

 - Email Notification Subject line too long for some (from Darqdean's post)

 - more contrast in color settings; i.e. locks, etc. (from Angelo's post)

 - font should be changed back to Aerial (from MikeEnRegalia's post)

 - 'Hover' feature missing from last posts

 - problem with hyperlink toolbar button when replying to posts (from ClemOfNazareth's post)

 - new Thread page numbers not turning purple as before (from Geck0's post)

 - adds appearing right under first page posts rather than at bottom

...and KingCrimson776 mentions a problem with the Edit Post bar, reporting that the options bar goes behind the quote box

Another bug: The quick search isn't working ... there's always a timeout error when I try to search. I guess M@x should limit the search to topics / exclude search in posts, as he did in the previous forum version. Also, if at all possible, the search display should be set to "topics" by default.

why am I against bring back the top 10 posts....  stupid sh*t like this..... come on people...  do we work here just so a visitor to this site come come here... and find this stuff as recent topics...

hahahha.. could post more I'm sure.. but lunch is ready

tell me I have a stick up my ass... maybe so... I won't be the first here to have one I guess hahahha

if M@X is to bring it back... how about remembering this a dammed prog site... and we want prog fans here..   make the recent 10 that the kids seems to want back.. for prog 'section' posts only.  Call it a compromise... a compromise of the leverage-less hahahhah.  M@X will do what he thinks best.... but this at least makes sense...  we have an active topics means to find the latest posts already.. but if you have to bring back to 10 latest to satisfy those who can't get past it's elimination... just make it for prog topics.  Seems reasonable enough to me.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but there seems to be a problem with the appearance of most recent threads.  After the original post, the left margin (containing the avatar and other info) of subsequent posts gets smaller or larger.  Also, an empty box appears underneath the original post.  Here are some examples:

Too small:
http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45085

Too large:
http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45075

I use Firefox, and just to make sure, I checked Internet Explorer and the same thing happened. 

I just checked IE again, and the box below the original post has an ad in it, I didn't see it originally in Firefox because I must have been blocking it.

^ hardcore, bro

"Recent 10" ... seems like a totally useless feature to me. Usually there will be much more than 10 new posts when I return to the forum even after a few hours. Active Topics is the only thing I need!

I agree with Heavyfreight, I also find the Last 10 very useful.  I do see a reason for Recent Posts as well, but why can we not have both?  Often the Recent Posts can go up to 9 pages (it did the other day) and it took me ages to go through it all.

Last 10 Posts is more useful to me and when I hover the mouse over the link, it told me the first words of the post, which was useful for determining if I found it relevant and/or useful to view in full.

Sometimes The Velvet Room, The Grey Room and some other threads, did dominate the last 10 posts, but that was often at quiet times on the forum or when the American East Coast Teenagers are awake.
