Topic: IMPORTANT: Bugs in the new Release (Thur, March 6th, 2008)

Thanks for the update, Chief.

Here's two posts of mine (from another support thread) with issues we're having at our forum since the upgrade yesterday.

http://support.lefora.com/2008/03/07/bugs-update/

yeah, IE6 is a bit out of 'complimence' with web standards, but we'll get it cleaned up.

Here's an example of one of the bugs 7of9 mentioned.  I tried to reply under her post above.  The cursor won't appear in that reply box so I'm unable to use t, so I moved down to this box in order to type. I'm going to hit "submit" and I expect what I've typed here to move up to that box (though when it eventually posts I don't think it appears up there but at the bottom of the thread in reply to the initial post).  Extra letters (I suspect codes) appear.  If I type after it jumps up and then hit submit, the words typed after the jump don't appear.  Trying now.

(Edited to add this:) Yes.  That is what happened,though it looks as if this is posting under her post.  The post jumped  up to the box above with extra letters in it.  I added a sentence after it jumped up.  When I submitted the post, however, the added sentence didn't appear. 

This bug will prohibit me from replying to posts in a thread. 

And I'm not sure what this is supposed to look like, but I don't find the "look" of lefora any better, in fact I like it less.  I'm using Internet Explorer.  Just mentioned that because of one of the other posts in the thread. 

Thanks for all your work!

 

 

hey Kaiman, would you be able to find out what sorta issue they are having?  Such as the login window doesn't pop up, user/password not recognized, etc.

They can type their username and password in the login fields at the top right of the forum (viewable when you're not logged in).  Usernames must be typed in lowercase and passwords are cAsE sensative to what the user first entered.) 

We've got a member who is having trouble posting ~ her responses won't post most of the time. I asked her to switch to text editor (you recommended it for another member)  ~ here's her (carolfoasia) response:

Text editor doesn't even give me a cursor. This one at least gives me a cursor and a post every now and then. Maybe 40% of the time it posts. Most are lost.

Any assistance you can give would be appreciated. Let me know if there's any other info you need to work on the problem.  

Thanks chief. The problem grew as the day went on - just about everyone lost one post or another (as a matter of fact, it happened to me on this post). After composing a post and selecting "submit," the post disappears and you get an empty text box. This happened with both the text and visual editor (and with both FF and IE browsers). I'm not sure of this part but I think it was happening more when replying to a specific post than when replying to the topic.

thanks, we're looking into this right now, it's a high priority ticket for us to fix.

thanks jake, i'll look into the PM server 500 error.

The member who cannot post, are they having trouble logging in, or do they not see a text box unless the our anonymous?

thanks, we just made some IE updates this morning, if you're still having display issues in IE, please paste a URL that looks funky in IE.
