If it worked more than once, that should be it, but let me know either way.

Delete all related cookies including your username and password.

Cool, glad it worked.

It's still on the list. Most forums have something similar, so it's a reasonable request and one that will get some attention soon.

You could bookmark the last post you read (just click the bookmark link under the post). That will add it to your forum bookmarks and you could pick up where you left off.

Adding a link to every page is impractical, at least all lined up. I toyed with the idea of a drop-down menu like you see in the top nav, but with page numbers. That's a bit like expecting people to remember the last page they read in a book instead of inserting a bookmark, although I'm sure some folks do that.

On Firefox for Windows, go to Tools > Options > Privacy. On Mac, Firefox > Preferences > Privacy.

Search for "originaltrilogy.com" and delete any cookies that come up.

This has been fixed. Still working on the other search issue JediSage posted.

You're not seeing things. Definitely broken (as is the formatting on search results).

Added to the list.

When I tested the site contact form using my Gmail account, I found the messages in my spam folder also. Perhaps it was the massive pile of e-mails the server dumped on Monday or Tuesday once we had the mail problem fixed. If Ripplin had almost 200 messages waiting for him, I'm sure quite a few more went out, which is a red flag for spam.

Glad things seem to be back to normal.

You cleared your cache. Did that include clearing your cookies as well (or at least deleting any cookies from originaltrilogy.com)?

I think the quotes are throwing it off. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for catching this.

I can't find any problems that would cause this issue, Ziz. I'll keep investigating, but it's a mystery to me.

Still working on this, but I think I have it nailed. I'll be posting a bunch of minor fixes and tweaks this weekend at some point, so it'll go up then.

Also, I'm adding some logic to the processing so that HTML created by forum tags or the editor isn't counted toward your signature character limit. Since a lot of HTML can be necessary for a few simple things, but that source code isn't visible to end users, I don't think it makes sense that the source code be included in the character count.

Check your preferences to make sure the notification setting is what it's supposed to be. The form was broken and I posted a fix.

I've been receiving all my topic updates and PM notifications as expected.

I think the furthest I'd take it is allowing users to vote on a post's value, and if the ratio of negative votes to positive votes is too high, then the post fades into the background or hides itself.

In my own experience, posts that flag themselves as worthless draw more attention than bad posts presented normally. Besides, I like formulating my own opinion by reading what someone has to say.

I'd be open to this form of moderation if I put a switch in the preferences section that lets users turn it on and off. I think if it can be completely disabled, this idea has merit. I'll put it on the list (but kind of near the bottom, so don't expect it in the next update).

Bumped signature sizes to 3000 characters. Let me know if you have any other problems.

I've toyed with the idea of user moderation and will probably add it as a feature to the software at some point. However, I doubt I'd ever enable that feature for use here.

Why? I think a few members are a bit too sensitive based on some of the post reports I get, and some others a bit too "playful" not to mess around with others' posts :)

Good idea. I put it on the list, right after RSS.

I fixed this issue in my local copy. I should have it online tomorrow night, along with a few other tweaks and fixes.

You're not the first to report this, so I'll look into it.

Have you received any e-mails at all after the update? I received topic update e-mails Friday, but none since then. I made a change to the database on Saturday that I think might be the culprit.

I need to adjust the filters so that HTML is properly converted to tags, which is why you're seeing all that code.

The editor is doing what it's supposed to though. All that HTML looks correct. I'll bump the signature size limit to accommodate the extra code that the editor generates. Can't do it until I get home though because it involves a change in the database.

Ok, the problem  isn't just the indicators now.  I just went to the General SW forum and hit "Unread posts" on a thread I was in last night and it brought me back to the first unread post from over a week ago when the thread started (in case it makes a difference, it's the "Our Fault, Not George's" thread).

The "first unread post" marker isn't updated unless you read the last page of the topic. If a topic is marked as unread and you view it, but don't view the last page, the first unread post remains what it was because viewing the last page is the trigger to reset that value. I'll probably rework this because it causes confusion. Ideally, it should take you to the page following the last page you looked at.

Also, I just fired up the forums in IE, which I hardly ever use, and IT was even showing all the indicators white, nothing in blue, which means it thinks that everything has been read when, if I haven't used it in such a long time, the forums should come up as unread for the past few months.

Actually, no. Topics showing up as unread or not has nothing to do with the browser. It's all tied to your account. If you login and read a topic in Firefox, then open IE and login, that topic will be marked as read--because you did, in fact, read it, just within another program. Topics are marked as read in the database and aren't tied to the browser in any way.

E-mail notifications have nothing to do with markers that show what forums/topics are unread, so those settings don't affect that.

That said, I did find a problem with the form that controls e-mail subscription settings, so you might want to go back in and check that they're what they're supposed to be.

As for Ziz's original issue, I'm still seeing properly bolded text and blue folders when a forum has new posts. I checked in Firefox--the browser doesn't matter, by the way--and I'm seeing the same thing. Not sure what to tell you guys.

Yeah, the profile page needs work. It's on the list.

Resolved.
