Some strange inconsistencies in the July Desktop post https://forums.wincustomize.com/?forumid=144&aid=122255#963992

Is there a specific way to post there now, or is this just leftovers from the change?

In the past, I was one who always had problems accessing and especially posting in the forums. Load times were excruciatingly slow. But since the change, 99% of the time things are great. I do like the overall look and functionality of the change too. If there was anything I would like to see added it would be a "Mark as Read" feature in the "Tools" for individual forums.

Sometimes links don't look right.

Link test 1 = https://forums.wincustomize.com/?

I don't like that.

Link test 2 = Click Me

Link test 3 = Click Here

Nevermind. I think I can work with it.

Some strange inconsistencies in the July Desktop post

Corky...I don't think so...more likely just the usual people having trouble posting images...like from their harddrive instead of from the net...

Jafo,

I was talking about the image size differences.

Both of my shots (as well as a majority of others) were full size in the post previous to the forum change, now some are smaller (almost thumbnail, for lack of a better term) and some are still full size.

I am wondering if it is based on the new code, and it's interaction with different hosting services? Or simply a new intention in the way the code will be handling the screenshots.

For my shots in that post, I can click on them and they will open in a new window which then allows zooming to full size when 'moused-over'.

The odd thing is that one time yesterday, my first shot was full size and the second shot was still in 'thumbnail' display. I am hosting both at ImageShack, and posted both the same way in that thread.

All I can say is this: "Well done!"

Figured I'd let some of the more serious issues get attention before I brought this issue up again.

I'm using Opera 9.01 and when I view a thread I see some images while others show up quickly and then "disappear" and some never show at all. In most cases a small blue square is left as a placeholder. I'm seeing the site's smileys but images posted linked to other internet sites seem to be the ones that don't display.

Here's an example of what I see.....

I managed to add a comment on one thread only to have it actually turn up on another instead. Due to the current lack of clear indication of what one has actually read or not I cannot find them again...though if anyone sees a comment by me on 2 different threads that is identical....that's the one...and it's obvious which was the wrong thread...

I believe your referring to this post Link

Yay...that's the one...thanks, mate...

Jafo, as per usual please reply with the browser you used, the browser version and whether or not you were using advanced mode. I'll also need the link to the post you were attempting to reply to.

Andrew...OK...give me an hour and I'll attempt to find the other thread....
