BUG? - LOGIN FOCUS
This is a minor thing. When you click the Login, the Username section of the drop-down needs to be clicked before you can type.
This surprises me nearly every time still. Normally, the first slot of an opened form will automatically have focus. Like our Search does. Maybe it's supposed to work for Login and isn't?
I'm having an issue with the search box. If I search for a two-word term with a space in the middle, like mobility radeon (not in quotes), I get lots of results.
Then I hit the gear icon, change the 'sort by' field to 'post time', and hit 'go', and I get the page that says 'No matching posts were found' instead of the sorted results.
Doing the same thing with the term in quotes ("mobility radeon") brings me to the advanced search page instead of 'no matching posts were found.'
This seems to be a problem handling searches with multiple terms or spaces; the same actions using a single-word search term shows the sorted results.

Every time I have tried to submit a reply to a thread today has come up with a "submittal form is invalid" error. It always works the second time I hit submit though.
*reposting from "Welcome to the updated VOGONS" thread, I somehow thought that was the place to write about such stuff*
There is a bit of an issue with "monospace" function. I expect it to be used in case you need characters to be aligned with each other for visual clarity. However, when I submit a post, it destroys extra spaces between the characters, and the result is not what one would expect.
If it is possible, could someone please fix this behaviour?
What I see and what I get:
I'm not sure if this is a bug or the expected behaviour, but I have noticed that Vogons members whom have been placed on your foe/muted list can still send you private messages. Intuitively, I'd have expected members on one's foe/muted list to have their PM's stopped before they can be sent.

PNGs get absolutely destroyed by the auto-resizing thing. Not only did they get compressed, but the actual size of the pictures got reduced to only thumbnail size. I ended up zipping up the pictures and attaching them to the thread so people could actually get the originals which were not even that big to begin with.
See here:
Re: Driver for MediaMagic Telemetry-32 OPTi 82C950
the issue is with the portrait aspect ratio from my observation, for some reason those pretty much always get resized regardless of size, even if they are already much smaller than a similar landscape oriented picture, there seems to be an issue there.
and while we're at problems, this isn't really related to style, but for some reason lately I get logged out every day, I already deleted my cookies and tried again, but the stay logged in check doesn't seem to work anymore.
Sorry if this has been mentioned already, for the C64 purple theme which I quite like, navigating thread pages can be quite difficult and the styling around the controls is somewhat broken.
What do you mean there is no search option? It should be just to the left of the notifications icon.
What browser are you using?
All those little snips you have there show completely different for me.
Thanks, you clued me on to what was happening. Comparing incog mode, canary and normal chrome I found the Decentraleyes privacy extention was messing with the layout. Toggling it off/on sorted it out. They weren't snips, that's how messed up it was 😁
Oh wow.. that was really messed up then. Glad you got it sorted.

A bump on this bug as I can confirm this bug is still there. Technically, there's an bug in the search settings (gear icon) regarding handling spaces in search keywords.
When modifying search settings (such as "sort by post time"), the spaces in the search terms are changed to "+" (encoded as "%2B" in the URL), altering the original search term thus returning significantly fewer results.
Using this post's example: When modifying search settings after initially searching "mobility radeon", the search term would become "mobility+radeon". Changing the %2B in the "keywords" part of the URL to "+" or "%20" would restore the original search term and return expected search results.
After some further testing, looks like while the search box uses "+" for spaces, the spaces in the search terms will always be changed to "+" (%2B) when I modify search settings, regardless of whether the spaces are being stored as "+" or "%20" in the "keywords" part of the URL.

A bump on this. After more than 500 days since my reply (and more than 3 years since the bug was initially reported), this bug can still be reliably reproduced on my end. It still requires me to manually replace all "%2B" in the URL to "+" or "%20" after modifying search settings to properly get search results.
PS: Advanced Search is working correctly. So if I need to sort search results by post time I should always use that... until this issue is finally fixed.
PPS (June 30, 2024): It seems the issue has been finally fixed with the most recent board update. Editing this post to reflect this as well as avoiding a bump.
