I noticed the bug as well, and seems to be fixed. However I still experience two more bugs:
1. After leaving a reply to a topic with multiple pages, it brings me back to the first page.
2. Permalinks on posts that are on another other page than Page 1 are broken.

CSS tip for better visibility of the new quotes function

.text blockquote { background:#abc123; }

(set #abc123 to any other hex color variable you want)

hehe.. thanks guys! looks great.

embedding transparent png's results in weird black background:

seems like the imaging server (http://imaging.lefora.com) is down

chief: not working. both html and swf versions.
looks like lefora widgets don't like the javascript?

The Blog importer has completely stopped working now.

No updates for a whole week.

For anyone interested... I found a way to hack around the Flickr Badge thing.

Simple look at Generated HTML source (I used a simple webdev toolbar for this. http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/) and paste the line that starts with: <object classid="etc etc

and that should work.

Whenever I try to insert Google Embeddable Calendar (https://www.google.com/calendar/embed/EmbedHelper_en.html) or Flickr Badges (http://flickr.com/badge.gne) in the Custom HTML sidebar widget it shows Google ads instead.

I suspect this has something to do with iframe element.

Embedded images are missing HTML height attributes, which makes the page jump when loading.

Example: http://www.orangecountyfixed.com/2008/05/25/the-porn-thread/271348/
(link is SFW, just a bunch of bike pictures)

chief: what exactly do you mean by "you can however change your 'name' that is displayed on your profile."

I tried changing my First name in my profile, but nothing seems to change.

chief.. looks like the crawler is not working 100% anymore.
compare: http://www.orangecountyfixed.com/forum/category/blogosphere/page1/
with: http://www.orangecountyfixed.com/forum/category/blogosphere/page2/
images seem to be gone?

oooh i like the auto collapse stuff. sounds awesome. emme know if you guys need help testing.

two questions in one post...

1. Does Lefora has pagination in a topic? Or will all replies stay on 1 page?

2. Would it be possible to skip to the new replies when one clicks on a topic that one has read before but now contains some new replies?

Yeah I just noticed that works as well. Neat trick. Even Flickr and YouTube URLs.

So in this example, if I wanted to keep them in order, I would have to do:
http://example.com/image2

http://example.com/image1

True, but I can also see people browsing the categories, go back to main forum page, hit post and not realize that they are posting in a wrong category.

Maybe it can be a setting in the Forum Admin?

Chatham: Have you guys looked into Akismet? I use it on my blog, and it's really killer.

I'm using the Embed Pictures option.

I know I could just reverse paste the URLs myself, but that seems a bit counter intuitive.

is this promotion still legit?

When I embed several pictures in a topic, it seems to add them in reverse order. For instance: I add picture one, two and three. But it shows them as three, two one. Anyway this could be reversed?

Oh I see how it works, if you start a topic from the home page, it automatically selects the last category you were browsing. That seems like a bug to me.

On my forum when I click "Start a Topic" one of the Categories is already checked by default. How can I disable that?

The reason I'm looking into Lefora is because they claim you spend less time supporting and moderating: http://www.lefora.com/features/

They even claim "No SPAM!"

i guess someone must have just cleaned them up. there were at least 10 spam messages. even a few after i started this thread. i'll make a screenshot next time.

you can still see some in searches:
http://support.lefora.com/forum/search/?q=sex
http://support.lefora.com/forum/search/?q=prescription

the user registration could use captcha http://recaptcha.net/
and maybe akismet: http://akismet.com/

I thinking about using Lefora, but seeing all the spam worries me.

What is Lefora gonna do about this?

How often does the forum check for new content on external blogs or news feeds?

chief: when i embed a youtube video i see it show up in the headlines, but not when i embed a vimeo video. is that something you guys are still workin on?

Any way to get Favicons working?

Should be simple enough by just allowing the admin to upload a 16x16 picture and linking to it in the forum's html header.
