New Board Questions or Issues

Unread post by Heather »

This is the place to leave any questions, issues or concerns with the new board system as we all get used to it, and get it fully set up.

So, if you're having any trouble using any of the features, aren't sure about something, or have some other feedback about the new boards, specifically, leave'em all right here and we'll be sure to address them! :)

I think - and if I'm wrong, I'll correct myself momentarily - that after posting I got redirected to phpbb.com instead of back to the boards.

Not that time. Maybe if I use the full editor and the preview button?

Edit: Nope, it works fine, I just have magic browser-confusing powers. ;)

Just a note:

On the old boards if you started a quick reply without realizing you weren't logged in, you would be taken to the log in screen once you attempted to post and once you logged in your post would be uploaded. But in the new boards it seems like your message gets erased if you aren't logged in when you attempt to post it and you have to rewrite it. Not a huge deal, and I have no idea how easy that would be to change, but just something that could be potentially irritating. Even just a warning that you're not logged in when you hit the quick reply button might be helpful.

Edit: Nevermind, this time when I re-hit the quick reply button after the trying to post/signing in business my message was saved in the quick reply section. Not sure what the difference was this time around.

New users are limited to just a couple of boards for the first five posts, to help people new to the boards get their feet wet and get used to how everything works, as explained here: Why Can't I...?

You can post a topic about whatever you like right here: Got Questions? Get Answers
