    It only happens once in a while, not all the time. :) I'm not paranoid. It's been happening to other people too. It's just some glitch.

    Now I'm paranoid because it doesn't happen to me! :worry:

    Just noticed that the auto censor is no longer working. I apologize for my use of a censored term. I guess it's back to self-censorship.

    This is really not a big deal, but it is kind of hard to tell which page you are on in a thread. The page you are on will be highlighted, but it's only like one shade lighter than the other numbers, so it is really difficult to see. Just a suggestion for the future when you get the more important things worked out. :)

    I noticed that I still get automatically logged off at random times for some reason. Anyone else having this issue still?

    Multi-quoting is messed up. The other day I clicked "+ Quote" in one thread and did the same in another, and when I tried to post in the thread, clicking "Insert Quotes" produced both quotes; and since only one was from the thread I was posting in I deleted the other, which then became unavailable for the other thread. Never noticed that problem with vB, which evidently maintained the association between the quotes and the threads they came from.

    Multi-quote is a trip. What I've had to do, is click +quote and reply for each quote I intend to quote in a comment. I agree, a patch to make multi simpler would be great.

    Question - pictures in sugnatures removed permanently? Because it was one of only two decent methods to have flag of your country with your messages.

    Here is my idea for an innovation I would find useful: when someone is quoted, the post number should be shown as well. It helps to go back and "like" a response that might have been buried in among many responses.

    Are you the mainframe operator, or a software guy?

    Yes, It seems to happen when I change forums.

    1) I like the forum’s new look. The only change I would really like, is to get rid of the BRIGHT white background. It would be nice to hava a medium blue or green background (with black text). This is important because we all read so much text, and many of us read the forum for long periods of time.

    2) At the very bottom of each page there are small squares with page numbers. Can you make the current page number BOLD, or a different color so one’s place in the thread is easier to determine?

    3) With the new, improved, look of the forum, the logo at the top of the page looks quite dated. Are you planning a “refresh” of the logo’s appearance? Maybe use a lighter, brighter, blue for the fill used in the large “Political Forum.com” letters. And maybe a simpler background instead of a mish-mash of so many flags, etc.

    4) So that’s my wish list. If you could send me twenty bucks, that would be really nice, too...8)

    RE:#2, on my end, the current page number is light blue.

    It's still quirky. I just liked a post, then replied. In the reply box, I wrote my response under the quote and hit the post button. Only the original quote showed up - my response was not there. When I clicked on edit, I could see my comment, but it did not show up on the post. Then it all just disappeared and I'll have to go back for a redo.

    By default, the post being quoted includes a link to it, so all you need do is click on that.

    Yep. A tiny little arrow pointing "up" right next to the quoted member's name.

    Sure would be nice for us blind types, if it were a bit larger.

    It's "so stark, and cold" because the background is such a bright WHITE. It's sort of like trying to read a typewritten letter while holding it toward the Sun. It's quick, certain, path to eyestrain.

    I have the lighter blue current page number, too. But the contrast is so slight between the current page and the rest of the page numbers that I have a problem telling the difference between them.

    How about numbering the uploads as before.
    The number would take one to a special link url for that numbered upload
    making it easier to share on a PM.
    Today one can not even PM, "yo, check out number 17 in the #@& thread."

    Répondez s'il vous plaît

    Update on this: I went back to that forum, and my comment was embedded in the quoted message I was responding to. I know about mouse placement...that wasn't the problem. As I mentioned, in the Edit post it looked fine and my comment was in place. Notice this posted twice, #239 and #240. So, is this going to be a problem due to my computer or device? Or are others having similar issues.

    I just made a post, and then the system logged me off. How does that keep happening? Where are the mods to answer our questions? Are they sick of us already?

    They're working on problems in the background, we probably won't see them for a few weeks.
