When I click on "Search" and "Thread Tools," the drop down menu is not visible. It is opening up behind the brown border on the page.

Can you get a screenshot for me?

Wanted to post an update. A member mentioned previously that in order to get back to the "category" or "master forum" they were in when they were reading a post they had to scroll back up to the top of a page. So, we've added what we call the "Lower Breadcrumb" which is a navigational unit under the Quick Reply box. If you look below the quick reply box you'll see that there is now a navigational unit that contains a full path of the forum you are in. Ie, right now I'm in: Forum > Treasure Forum > TreasureNet FAQ/Feedback.

I can jump directly to Forum or Treasure Forum or TreasureNet FAQ/Feedback just by clicking on those links. I can also get to Active Topics, Home or What's new, etc.

Hope this helps.

Edit, the Attachment Manager Upload screen was to wide before and causing scrolling. This has now been fixed.

Hello John, do you know when the 'skins' will be available so we have the option to change the color of the post titles (hopefully black will be available)? Breezie

Working on that (and other issues that come up) just as fast as we can. I hope to have something that users can use for testing (and of course, it will have bugs as well) today or tomorrow.

John, I have attached a screenshot as reference. I clicked on the "Rate This Thread," and the menu opened behind the main forum border. I get the same result with clicking any of the thread links. FYI, I am using IE-8.

OK, I will look into this. Thank you for the screenshot and browser version. Very helpful!

John, Shouldn't we be able to see our own Banner Finds (on regular posts) after clicking the open arrow? If so, mine is not working. Thanks, Breezie

I have a problem with putting dates in parenthesis. If I put a date, or any number, that end with 8 and then a closing parenthesis, it turns the last number into a "cool" smiley. I am using Firefox 11.

Yes you should. We are working on this so that if you open them on any user, they stay open permanently until you close them. This way it allows a user to set a "default" viewing type. Still working on that though.

Smilies are utilized a couple of ways on the site. One of them is an 8 followed by the ) -- that's smiley code. I don't know a way around it other then deleting that particular smiley code. I'll see if I can change it to 8 then - then ) and that should fix it up.

Would it be possible for you to put a . (period) after the 8? Something like this 8.) Not the ideal solution but it works.

Hmmm kind of odd, my # of posts recently dropped from over 6,000 down to 5,811. Not a big deal I guess.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Are you sure it is recent, mine fell about 400 posts, but that was just before Marc soldl to new management...

We were able to track down a few bugs today that might have been causing some issues for you guys on IE 7 and IE 8. Please let us know if it's working any better for you.

I hit 6,000 about a week ago, this happened within the last couple days.

 

[sagittarius98]

I got knocked down about 2-3 posts, but that was maybe in Feb.

 

[diggummup]

Mine was over 7300 yesterday, now it's under 7000. What's the deal?

 

[dascrow]

Before we took over the site many sections on the forum were hidden from public because they were considered to be detrimental to the site. Marc decided for example that the political and religious discussion areas were harmful and removed them.

Even though these sections had been removed long ago from public sight they were still in the database. However yesterday we removed these sections completely and thus the posts were deleted. This is why your post count has been decreased.

It's an unfortunate side effect of tidying up the forum and removing unecessary data that is taking up resources for absolutely no reason. My apologies for this happening but it needed to be done sooner or later.
