Over the weekend both the site and forum software was upgraded. This addressed some minor issues, some known some unknown. Marking a forum as read in IE should be functioning correctly now.

This did not go off without ramifications . The biggest problem was links within the forums were changed. If you find any links that come back with a 404 error please report them.

Still dealing with an arcade issue also . It is down till further notice or until you find it working/ :clown:

It also seems like 'View New Posts' isn't working properly. It now displays 42 pages of 'new' posts even though I checked the 'new posts' just the day before. :scratch:

Try logging out and logging back in . Sounds maybe like a cookie problem .

Also arcade is fixed .

I always logout after reading messages. So, in effect, I already did that prior to reading this. That said, it looks like it's fixed. Not sure if it was a real problem or operator error.

*shrugs* At least it works now.

w00t!

I get 404's when I click anything under the "User Menu"

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who read binary, and everyone else.
4013 is only a FAD
And 2989? Well that's just BAD

For some threads, when I click the view the latest post icon it brings me to the first post (not the latest one). Doesn't happen on all of them but definitely has happened on several. It's obviously not a big issue, but I thought I'd let you know.

Oh, and if you didn't already find out, I get 404s for all the other top menus on the forum side of things.

Top menu fixed.

As far as jump to last post not doing it all the time . Don't know for sure . It should all link the same way . Maybe something in your coookies with all the changes I've made . Eat your cookies or throw them away and let me know if it continues. :blackeye:

So all of these 404 errors wasn't a cookie problem this computer had then. It had me wondering why it was saying active topics back in December for me lol.

But things are working fine now, Thanks Bomzin!
The difference between successful people from others is
not in the lack of strength,
not in the lack of knowledge,
but rather in the lack of will.

I really don't know what caused it , but certain links were rewriten to end in .html . Not a clue but a pain in the arse.

Also in the process of adding in social site icon to user profiles. Need to do some more tying together of things when I get some time. But you will notice some new social buttons under the poster names. So far just facebook and myspace links are complete in the main profile area. Some of the others are going to change .
