Bugs due to new upgrade - ones I've noticed

I figured a master thread would work better.  So far, I see:

-The navigation bar at the top is all messed up.  No images.

-Post date appears hidden behind avatar

-In "post thread" box, when you are actually doing so, it skips a line when you pressed enter so it double spaces.

Nothing else, yet...

First two issues: hit refresh or clear your browser's cache. Most likely the new stylesheet isn't loading for you.

Third issue: I was annoyed by this at first until I realized it's how many modern word processors work also. Hit enter by itself and you get a doublespace (new paragraph), hit enter while holding shift and get a single line break. You'll get used to it.

Also, I'd prefer separate topics for different bugs. Easier for me to track and check off when finished fixing each one. Thanks though.

Some things that are affecting me are:

A) e-mail notifications sometimes sending me as far as two pages back when it's supposed to go to the latest post

E-mail subscription updates don't send you to the latest post; they send you to the exact post that the update is notifying you about. If you click on a subscription update link and newer posts have been made since that e-mail was sent, you'll be sent to the older post. Do you have an example of an e-mail you've received that doesn't send you to the right post?

B) when people add links in their posts, it just plain won't work sometimes. It sends me to an error page which includes the following message: "File not found: /topic.cfm" Even when I copy and paste the link in another window, I get the same error page.

Users create the links, so if they copy and paste the wrong link, it'll be broken. Can I see an example? I've seen a few already that were wrong, but I don't see any links generated by the software itself that are broken.

C) when I want to quote someone, it wouldn't let me type in the white area, so I hit enter (another kettle of fish; see D) and it added what I wrote in a separate quote box.

Hit the quote button and it should remove the quote box. I'll see if I can add an extra line after quote boxes.

D) Is it supposed to go down two lines when I hit enter to try and got to the one immediately below it?

Yes. The text editor functions like a modern word processor, which inserts two lines when you hit enter, or a single line if you hold shift while hitting enter (see bkev's post above).

And a new one: I've gotten a few redundant e-mail notifications of late, even hours apart. And they'll sometimes show up below older messages in my inbox. Very odd. :p

Can you forward them to me? (jay at originaltrilogy dot com). Are you sure they're redundant? I looked at your settings, and you have the system sending you e-mails for every new post instead of just once until you view the topic. If the same user posts twice, you'll get multiple e-mails that look the same except for the post number. You can change that in your preferences so you'll only receive one e-mail update until you view the topic again.

Ha, okay. The link I just posted above is wrong (it has "topic.cfm/topic.cfm/" in it twice). And that's definitely not what it was when I copied and pasted it. I'll have to look into that. Weird.

The link issue should be fixed. It was a configuration setting for the text editor that needed to be adjusted. All links moving forward should work properly now, but links created up to this point will still be broken.

I'll look into it. I think I know what it is. Thanks.
