Forums Bugs

[Tristan]

Folks,

I'm aware of at least one bug in our message board system. 

Quick Reply & Quotes
I added a mod to make the Quick Reply box "WYSIWYG" (what you see is what you get), so if you click the bold button, the text actually bolds and stuff like that, but there's a bug with that feature that prevents the "quote" function from working.  The developer is aware of the situation and is working towards a resolution.  In the meantime, I have changed the global default for the Quick Reply feature to non-WYSIWYG.  If you prefer to use the WYSIWYG editor, the standard Reply & Start New Topic pages still work (by clicking on the respective buttons).  You can also change your preference to the WYSIWYG, if you would rather trade off the quote function for the convenience.  Contact me if none of this makes sense and you need help figuring out what to use and what to do.

If you have run into any other issues, post in this thread and I will look into the situation.

You know how on the top, u type in your login and password and right after that there's a drop-down menu saying 1 Hour, 1 Day, 1 Week, 1 Month, and Forever?

Well I like to be automatically signed in while i'm in my own computer. But the drop-down menu doesn't seem to be working. I choose "Forever", and every time I leave the site, I come back, and I have to manually sign in again. I also chose the other options and they don't work either.

Do you have cookies enabled?

I can't replicate this problem either -- I'm always logged in whenever I show up. 

Per 79MD's suggestion, check your cookie settings -- that is how the site finds your login information.  If that doesn't work, let me know and I will check with the developers.

I have IE7, how do I check my cookie settings?

My cookies should be enabled, I'm automatically logged on to other sites, except this one.

Go to Tools>Internet Options>Security. Best to set to Medium-High
Also, go to Privacy and set it to Medium. Try that and see if it works.

If you remember your passwords to other sites, it might help to clear the cookies and try again...

What are you doing using IE7 anyway?
