I guess you're right, thanks.

Whenever I'm editing a reply on the updated forums, I'm taken to the first page of the thread after posting the changes, is that intentional?

Most forums have a "go to last posting" functionality, this one doesn't seem to have one or it doesn't work for me. I get to see the first page of a thread when clicking on a thread title or on the small arrow on the right, not sure if that is what should be happening. Usually the small arrow takes you to the newest reply in a thread or the oldest one you haven't seen yet when logged in.

I do hope that they get that sorted soon, going to multipage posts repeatedly(like I do with the MVL threads) can get annoying. It must be driving Kryo nuts having to repeatedly check them all.

These operation aborted messages are killing me!!!

I probably have a fairly unique and restrictive setup of IE6 as it is possible to have.

I wouldn't doubt that because of this I'm am overly susceptable to these errors. But I'm getting these things every thread and almost every page I scroll to on every page I visit.

Yes I can merely go back and get to where I was going anyway but still these errors are making my life miserable.

Please help! Thanks.



BTW I know the web team would never make such a suggestion but I can do without the inevitable contributions from the peanut gallery that I should use FF, Opera, IE7 or anything other than what I'm using which happens to work exactly the way I want it to work on every other site that I visit.

IE6 is still the mainstay browser and even though I readily admit to using it with entirely customized settings chosen so as to restrict active content (there is no motion in GIF files on my PC for example), I have no interest in changing at this point.

Thank you for your understanding.

Well, The reply box is now full sized for me, but it still seems that the cookie system is not working yet.
I am running AOL explorer on windows XP.

edit

Editing was also not working, But it seems to be fine now.

Thanks a lot (but I still want a cookie

I saw the changes first on the SINS site. Probably because of cached images and pages here preventing me from seeing the changes sooner.

You're not alone. I get them constantly and my IE6 setup is fairly standard.



Ditto.

I'm a loyal FF user, but I'm not the type who says "death to IE, all problems stem from internet exploder!!!". Maybe I'm just not the pushy type /shrug.

On the flip side to things, last I checked, IE was still the dominating force of the most used browser (I'd like to see these numbers excluding windows/office update site visits though). That said, a site should work for the majority of users...so the "switch to X to fix it" mantra should be avoided at all costs. You should switch to X for reasons beyond website compatibility.

Hi there again.
I am still having the cookie problem on AOL explorer.
By the cookie problem I mean that the site no longer tracks which posts I visit or revisit. Before the upgrade, a post that I had already read woulde be dimmed out unless there had been a new entry since I read it. Also, if I revisited a post with a new entry, it would take me to that entry.
Currently, it does none of that. All posts look the same reguardless of whether I have visited them and when revisiting a post I aqm always taken to the first entry.

Now, I do realise that you are under no obligation to make things convienient for me and I am whining a bit because i was spoiled at how it used to work. The new format does look great, but it is harder to follow all the posts for me.

Scincerely,

Scintor@aol.com

Scintor, it's not just a problem with AOL explorer.

Also an issue is in the "My Replies" section it's not distinguishing between your last reply and someone else's last reply. Perfect example, check your My Replies after I posted this and the dates match perfectly...even though it's not the date you had replied.

As I've noted a few times around the 'new forum' threads, read/unread detection is presently disabled. It should be back soon.



That will apparently not be coming back. It was decided that automatically shooting you to the end of a thread that you've read before (regardless if you'd read only the first page, or fifty) was too confusing to newbies. As with most other forums, there will just be an on-index pagination link for those who want to start on the last page.

thanks Kryo for the updates. I actually agree with the going to the 1st page; I can see where it can be more helpful to newbies.

I am glad the read/unread detection will be back soon, that is currently my only major gripe I have of the new forum format.

Well this is amazing! I finally got somthing to happen! been trying to post in the forums but all I get is a service not available message, and before you ask,I do have an account and logged in as well. what the heck????

its been an intermittent problem today. My guess is that they are trying to code in some forum fixes without actually shutting down the forums in the meantime. This also means that its not always possible to submit a MV game (as I found out)

The GC2/Sins/And-probably-some-other-forums server has been "cranky" today.

0K My replies,....not working hopefully it has not been disabled
