This question has probably already been asked and answered somewhere in this forum but I can't find it and the search wasn't any help either.

So, I would like to change the name/heading/description of a topic.
Can that be done without destroying the posts that have already been made to it?

Thanks...

OK, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the info and advice.

Chief,

Is there any way this could get bumped up on the priority list? I'm demoing my forum to four different groups next Saturday (15th) that are looking for a good no cost forum host. Three of the four groups would be heavy into polls. Only being able to view/use one at a time as a widget is not going to impress them too much. I know they could just go into each poll post, but having them listed down the right side is a great selling point. We had it before and user really like it. Below is what I see now. No tab to drag/drop.

Thanks.

Hi Chief. Nice hat. I see you've been to Firehouse Subs. :-)

This is not a new issue but thougt I would go ahead and report it. Anytime I send someone a message and then go to the Outbox, it always shows ME as the one the message was sent to. This is bound to be a bug, don't you think?

Thanks,
Rick

Ok, Chief....

I tried as you suggested. I blanked the url, saved, got out, came back. The original reappeared as though I had not blanked it out.

I changed the entire url, went through the save, got out, come back and this time the url was changed.

I had been logged in for awhile on another forum and then came over to the Support forum. That is when I noticed the "NEW" box(es) missing. It's the same way on my forum too.

I'll try the F5 test and let you know.

Thanks

I go in to edit my profile, make my changes (email address wrong and want to blannk out web site URL), and click Save. All seems well. After I get out of editting my profile and come back right then or sometime later, the old original values are back. Any ideas? I am my forum's admin.

FYI-there is not an "Update Files" button on this post window, only "Browse".

Thanks

I am running IE7 and Flash 9 and I see the Browse button only and NOT the Update Files button.

Hope this helps for you to see what we're seeing.

thanks

Screen 2 after clicking on the Bugs topic showing there is one new post...

Here's proof that it's not even working on your own Support Forum.

Screen 1 showing no "NEW" box....

I don't know if this is a bug or by design, but I can no longer have multiple polls displayed as widgets. I use to before the new release. Now once I drag/drop the 'Poll' widget from Available to Displayed, there is not a 'Poll' widget still available like before. I've had 4 or 5 polls going at once as widgets in the past.

So, what do you think? Bug or By Design?

Thanks...

Yes, I do see those.

Ever since the new release I rarely get the little "NEW" box notification when logging in and new posts have been added to various topics. Occasionally it does work but 90% of the time it doesn't. Anyone else having this problem?

I want to delete an entire topic within a category without having to delete each post within that topic. Can that be done?

Maybe I don't understand the terminology, but you stated above that you can delete topics with the 'more actions' function. I don't have or see a 'more actions' drop down associated with a topic. Only the posts within each topic have 'more actions'. I want to delete an entire topic that has over 100 replies/posts in one swoop w/o having to delete each individual reply. What am I missing here?

Thanks!

This question probably is already somewhere in this Forum but I couldn't find it.

Are there any plans to add a spell checker to our posts/replies? I doesn't have to be elaborate where it suggests the correct spelling and replaces the misspelled word. Just something that would flag a word that looked to be misspelled and then we could fix it or ignore it.

Thanks for your concideration.

I have run into several instances where I cannot embed a picture during a reply. It shows 100% downloaded but nothing ever appears at the bottom of the reply box. If I submit, nothing still. If I get completely out of the forum (i.e. home page) and then go back in, it seems to work ok for that one instance, maybe two, then it happens again.

Thanks for your help,
R. Copeland
