I've got moderator controls too. And I know that the UNLOCK works (I tried it on one of the locked-for-no-apparent-reason threads Forrest mentioned.)

Oh, and I now see an EDIT and DELETE buttons with every post, not just my own...

Me too

TBH it would be better to have the forum offline for a while until proper control has been restored

So far I only see a few "spontaneous" locks. (Which, though I'm very tempted to remove, I'll leave in place.) But that doesn't mean that no harm is being done. I sure hope that Fred has the proper backups in place, should any rogue user start trashing topic after topic...

I've noticed since I logged on tonight, that all the forum pages have huge text fonts!
The site also seems to be running really slow too.

I am now getting a 404 error any time I try to use one of the page links (i.e., 1 2 ... end). Doesn't matter if it's a thread or a forum, same error. The little black arrow to get to the end page of a thread seems to work.

I'm also seeing huge typefaces for thread titles. Annoying.

Links to pages beyond the first page in the thread are broken. But you probably know that by now.

Clicking "end" gives you

Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.

Apologies for that. The forum code is so byzantine that the introduction of one variable can lead to unexpected results, and it's not always possible to spot every error in the testing version. It should be fixed now. It is a testament to the good character of the people who use this site that there don't seem to have been many abuses. Please send an email to fm (at) braine dot com if you have something to report, as the webserver never seems to get emails through to me...

clicking on page 2, 3, 4, end of any thread brings up an error message... this might have already been reported but since I can't get beyind the first page of this thread I've no idea!

The path in the links (1,2,3,end, etc.) is wrong. It is omitting the "forum"

So, for the path http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/599546/5 the links are being coded as http://www.fredmiranda.com/topic/599546/5.

Sorry guys - it's fixed now. The links to parts of the thread should be an imporvement in the following ways:
1) you can always see how many pages are in the thread
2) you can always go to the first, second, penultimate or last
3) the end link takes you to the last message in the thread and is always there
4) you can click the ... and type in page number

sorry for the frustration - hope the improvements will make using the site even better...

Right now, the fall out of this little unwanted rights escalation earlier today is that there are a bunch of topics that are locked without any real reason.

Out here are a few on the first page.

Also, the "posts" function is partially broken.

http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/recent/Tentacle works, but as soon as I want to go to the second page ( http://www.fredmiranda.com/recent/Tentacle/viewuserposts/1 ) I am greeted with a 404 error, object not found. The /forum bit is missing here too.

Is there any way to navigate to page 3 and beyond on the forum without going to the "end" or clicking "..." and entering the page number? Makes it extremely difficult to browse the topics between page 1, 2 and the last few pages, and the end.

This only seems to apply to topics with lots of pages. This particular topic has only 6 pages and all are visible as well as the end link. Buy and Sell has many pages....maybe it needs a next link after pages 1 and 2 instead of the penultimate page.

After a post has been moved to another board the name of the original board does not change in the "My recent posts" list

Fred,

Not really a bug, but while your working on this stuff.....

In addition to the 'end' (which was the same as the 'last' was?), I'd really like to see Next and Prev controls. The little page numbers are too small to hit accurately.

Yes, I'm getting old!

Hi Jeffrey,
We already have Prev and Next buttons. They are located on the top right of the page.
The "End" link is different than the “Last”. The difference is that it will direct you to the end of the thread. (Last post).
The previous “Last” link took you to the top of the last page. Now, you are still able to go to the top of the last page by clicking on the link right before "End".

The "prev" and "next" buttons do not show up in the buy sell forum, I see them on this forum.

There seems to be several forums that the "prev" and "next" buttons do not show up on.

Without reading through all the issues, I haven't recieved ANY email notifications from posts/questions.

Is this feature turned off, or working?

Hang on ... There is a "prev" and "next" button on the individual topics but not on the index pages....

I would like to see that on the forum index pages. I'll bet your having lots of fun Fred!!!

Thanks for the great website.
