I really like the buttons. They're similar enough in style to the old ones but are much more descriptive. I was going to post about the space next to the PM icon, but it looks like Qbix fixed it before I could post.

Malik: The circled icons in the attached image are functionally identical to the circled number links in your image. Referring to numbers instead of links is a bad idea, because the numbers can change if posts get deleted or topics get split.

Microsoft has been begging people to stop using IE6 because it's so full of security holes, bugs and other nastiness that they don't want to waste any more time on fixing. But to stop using IE6 would mean to start using XP, not exactly an option for some users here. I don't get why there needs to …

Has someone noted already that the reply-notification E-mails require you to login when you use them? They did not do that before. If you use the second "view the topic" link instead of the first "view newest posts since last visit" link, you won't have to log in. The problem with not logging in, …

Microsoft has been begging people to stop using IE6 because it's so full of security holes, bugs and other nastiness that they don't want to waste any more time on fixing. You should be able to at least run Firefox and/or IE8 on WinXP, or Opera on Win9x (and maybe something more modern with a …

The colors of the read topic titles are the same as the unread ones for me in Firefox 22 and IE10. Are you sure you aren't forcing a "previously visited links" color in your browser options or something? Using a more standards-compliant browser instead of an old version of MSIE may be a good idea.

I saw Malik's PM report in the moderator control panel at one point, so I can confirm that it existed :p Also, can ':p' be mapped to the 😜 emoticon? The case-sensitivity always bothered me.

They will be ordered by date as well, but they all stay above the posts. I don't think that simply editing an announcement alters the date. Adding a reply to each in reverse order can do it. Other ways are roundabout workarounds. You could also copy each announcement, delete them and repost them in …

That just makes a distinction between the two. Announcements will always stay at the top. Stickies will move up and down according to what has the most recent post. If you have a lot of stickies, a sticky can end up pretty far down the list. Also, announcements are generally something you want all …

Pink button?.... :happyhappy: Anyway we have the Orange and White tiny icons now. The ascii characters in my Sound Blaster thread (from my sig.) are also all wrong. Just noticed it. Guess I have to change them? It seems that there were issues with character set conversion during the upgrade, as …

Auto-linking appears to break if you have a URL that immediately follows a quote tag (which is the way you get it if you hit the "quote" button to reply to a post). Example - note that the first link doesn't get turned into a hyperlink, but the second does: http://www.vogons.org/search.php?keywords …

you can refer to exact post by copy/pasting link to the small white sheet of paper icon in it or its title. I think this may be better than refering to post number in a thread if they got split/merged. Thanks for pointing this out. I was going to say that a "permalink" link would be the best idea, …

I am able to pick "All results" instead of "1 year", and it actually defaults to "7 days" for me. However, it still maxes out at 1000 matches / 40 pages, which only goes back 3 months or so. Yeah, I know. It defaults to 7 days for me too, I just wanted to point out that it maxes out at 1000 matches …

@Stiletto and HunterZ, I've repaired the active topic link. Thanks for the report. Display posts from previous: 1 year Search found more than 1000 matches • Page 1 of 40 If it won't place undue stress on the server, any way to return more than 1000 matches/40 pages? Any way to display posts from …

@robertmo: The new forum appears to have a dynamic width that is based on the width of the browser window. I therefore expect it to be non-trivial for the forum to allow an image to exceed the width of the browser window while still formatting the rest of the page according to the browser window …

IMO - posts with large pictures should get a horizontal scroll-bar to allow viewing the entire image Scroll bars are annoying to use. It will be better to just show the whole picture with part of it being outside the post so that post width is not affected. (same with enclosed images) My memory is …
