    Just today -
    Noticed that the list of forums at the top of the page isn't showing up for me at all - appears for a second when the page is loading and then disappears leaving only two options - Boards and Adverts. Possible bug?

    This is what I see:
    2q1dhr5.jpg

    Am on a mac and using safari. The new look as been working fine for me up until now. So maybe I am alone in this and it's a temporary thing(!)

    Hi, when you log in now you are taken to a new screen whereas before you could do it on the homepage and now when I do it I could returned to the home screen. Before it returned you to whatever page you were on and not automatically the homepage.

    This issue will be resolved this evening or tomorrow.

    Not sure if it should be classed as a bug - but one difference I have noted is how to use the multi-quote tool.

    Say I want to quote 2 posts

    Before: Select first multiquote post; then merely selected the quote button on the 2nd post.
    Now: Select first multiquote post; then select 2nd multipost quote and now finally select the quote button.

    This method still works fine for me on the new skin

    The Menu bar has disappeared off the old Beta skin too which I am assuming is related

    Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, sorry if that's the case.

    Type: Bug

    Issue: The new security question shouldn't postlink to http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=12345 it should link to http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=12345 (incidentally, I love the new stupid-tax security question format, cheers, should help a lot, in fact, I think spam is down significantly recently)

    This is so that the 'When did User2 make this post' question, the user won't miss the top of User2's post due to either the top bar getting in the way, or more importantly, when they inevitably scrollup and down before full page load thereby making them miss the relevant post they need to check.

    I don't think the Browser/OS/Res is important for this as it's not really about the design.

    Oh, and well done on the new skin, great job :) I'll be converting to it tomorrow and I'm looking forward to the Black Cloud scheme #nostalgia.

    Thanks Gordon. I'll take a look at that tomorrow. I haven't pulled any stats on how spam levels have changed since we moved to the new registration process, hopefully we'll at least bamboozle the really dumb vBulletin bots.

    The number of people banned for spam has been almost halved over the 9 day period since the launch and the 9 days before that. I'm not sure of the stats on automated/stream spam though from looking at the data it appears to be down a fair bit too :)

    Looking at Dav's post RE the new Terms & Privacy Policy there seems to be an issue with escaped text in thread titles where ampersands are displaying as & - its displaying that way in the thread list on the homepage, the breadcrumbs and above the first post in the thread.

    Don't know if this has been reported already but on an iPAD using Safari it was possible under the old version of Boards to login and post while a) in privacy mode and b) with cookies "switched off".

    Under the new version, that is no longer possible and it is very annoying that is the case.

    I had an old user name but when the new site was set up -my password disappeared. I no longer operate the e mail account I used to set up the account. I have contacted customer service but they were of no help. I cant switch back to old view which might have allowed me to go back-it does not appear on my screen. I have effectively been thrown off this site.Please let me stay as locked out-unless you can tell me how I can undo this bug.

    If you don't know your password and no longer have access to the email address on the account we have no way of identifying you so there's nothing we can do to help.

    If you're using google chrome and you have a saved password you can pull the password from the saved passwords database by clicking the wrench icon, going to settings, clicking "show advanced settings" and clicking "Manage saved passwords". If you're using another browser there is probably a similar way to do it I just don't know it off the top of my head.

    Still currently in the design phase.
    Just have a few other projects that are being juggled at the moment, but it's not been forgotten.

    I hope to have it sooner rather than later.

    Will get some more info for you guys and give more concrete details in the next few days.

    It's in progress. We're a little understaffed with summer holidays at the moment so it will probably be another couple of weeks. We will post an announcement when it's released.

    Unfortunately dont use goggle chrome so my former name RIP-manslaughter. I have no problem with new identity so long as you guys dont. My password was saved on old view which I cant access either . In my forums-it just says "loading" for about an hour.

    If I was informed of my previous e mail-I would know my password for that account as I only use so many passwords. I just cant recall which one I was using . Must be one I dont use any more. Address gone out of my head.

    We don't have a problem, no. You're not alone, after the password wipe in January 2010 there were a good few users we couldn't reunite with their accounts.

    What is your browser, browser version and operating system?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
