http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/...mp;#36300479410 for now i just put the links in for the pics till it gets fixed

**exsuscito**

Not being able to see if there are multiple pages to a thread being actually going into it is a little taxing. It's not a big deal, just throwing it out there like the proverbial brick.

**Aquatium.**

I like the copy/paste feature added, but please fix that last post bug.

What's this? Another utter failure by Web Presence? How could I not see that coming? Oh, wait, I did.

/facepalm

Get your act together guys, for the love of [deity of choice].

~love the new quick color changer, any chance of getting a drop down for hyper-linking, smilies and image posting? Or would that be pressing the Web Team too far

From what I recall, this interface isn't theirs; it's called TinyMCE. They'll only be able to add a new feature if TinyMCE supports/has it.

Kinda sorted out the thumbs up/down Emoticons... they look a little pale though

Yeah, real smooth. Rather than fix the problem like normal people (the images' dimensions are specified in the code generated, which caused the larger-than-normal thumb smileys to scrunch up), they make new images. *Sighs.* All they had to do was remove the dimension properties. Seriously, delete a few characters!

Mabey the web team shouldn't touch the website anymore

Correct.

Edit: And extra, empty paragraphs were added to my post when I submitted it. Nice.

Can we switch back to the old version while the problems are fixed on this new version? Its like getting a new car and finding out its got no wheels and the car company going "Hold onto it for a few weeks while we send them out to you." :-\ Sure you could push the bugger from A to B but it kind of defeats the point of the upgrade no?

**Neoteny**

Oh and uh, this thread and others don't have the page number links next to the thread title like they should.

**mantra777**

I can't post pixxies somehow... SMILEY

**Fickey**

I think I would have to agree with everyone that the most annoying bug has to be the page number issues. Not only does it throw you off but it makes you want to yell sometimes SMILEY

Lets hope they fix it soon... or buy a license to a much better forum... oh hell use phpBB, since they done their last major update that forum system has gotten better... ANYTHING!

Yea its quite annoying when trying to view new posts and not being able to get to them right away. >_>

I think I've phound a temporary 'phix' phor this problem... phor me at least.... this solved it.

Go to your profile preferences, and change your 'preferred number of pages' to: 10

I did this yesterday, and ever since then, when I click on the little last post icon, it works. SMILEY And clicking on page numbers work correctly too.

I still can't post pics though. SMILEY So I'm very sad.

Click on this:

And delete this part of the image link:

border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></

And it will get rid of the part where it is telling the image to be 1 pixel by 1 pixel which is silly SMILEY

Right. I want to know what was going through the head of the... person who thought adding that bit of code as a good idea. It boggles the mind, it really does.

In other news, I noticed that the subject for what I'm just posting (before I shortened it) had a lot of 'Re's in it. I haven't traced these posts back yet, but it looks like another lovely 'feature' here is the unintelligent addition of 'Re:' to every subject, whether or not it already has one. It's bad enough with PMs.

I don't like the new font color pallette, but I might be the only one who used nearly every color in the old pallette. Still, it was much more varied than this.. this Microsoft Word-ish thing we have now. Arrgghrawwr.

Kinda makes ya sick to think that something like this... happened. You start to wonder about who they have working on their sites and why they were offered a job in the first place. Hell when I was seven and working on websites I don't think I ever done something that... bad!

It's understandable to have errors and that some might slip out into the public but when it comes to such a basic HTML tag and messing up on its use... wow... just wow.

Sad thing is... we are stuck with these errors while they take the time to work on new "features" that inevitably will cause more errors. The question I have alsways asked when it comes to these forums is why make something new when you can't fix what you have made? Still no answer to that...

/facepalm X 1000

*Sighs loudly.*

Another problem.

When I posted in this thread, the redirect took me here:
http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/...mp;#36300481329
which not only put me on the wrong page (2 out of a supposed 2, when the post actually was the last on page 1), but made it look like it was the only post in the thread.

No consistency in the calculations relating to posts and pages. Pagination is not difficult. The original forum code probably worked (if somewhat inefficiently); what did Web Presence do to break it, and why?
