56082 2002-06-28 12:01:00 There was a bug which we've fixed and will upload the patch for on Monday. PressF1 has a filter which force wraps words over 80 characters in length to stop the pages blowing out. It does this by inserting a space. Of course, if the "word" is in fact a URL, then you've got problems.

What we've done is change it so that if you format your links using the URL= tag, then it won't break a long link that is in the background, so to speak, in the HTML. If you just type the URL in to your message in full, using http:// then it will still break. But this only effects long URLs, anyhow. I've changed the help file and formatting pop-up to recommend people do proper formatting of links to avoid this. (will upload this on Monday too).

We've also done the FAQ page. We'll add it into themain menu (if we can get it to fit in 800 x 600) and when you go to that page you'll just see any posts that have been tagged FAQ, ranked in order of a number the mod gives them when taggingthem as an FAQ. All these posts will still show in the normal way on the main page, but will now have a permanent "home" where folks can browse through them.

56083 2002-06-28 12:10:00 Sounds really good. It's all coming together nicely now.

Bruce, is there any possiblity of getting a "roll eyes" icon at all? I find myself looking for one a lot.

56084 2002-06-28 12:17:00 We should find some better emoticons at some point. Some forums have groovy animated ones that convey all types of sophisticated emotions ... Biggles (121)
56085 2002-06-28 23:58:00 LOL

(wonders: has Bruce been where Susan thinks Bruce has been....?)

56086 2002-06-29 21:20:00 I'm not sure if this is a bug...but over the past 24 hours I have put up two queries as separate posts (call them 1 and 2). I got a reply to 1 this morning and replied to that. Now 1 has disappeared and 2 is up twice. It may be that I did something stupid - don't know- but don't think so. Craig Stewart (535)

Not me, haven't got enough grunt :-(

Those "cheers" emoticons are pretty neat, Billy T would love those....

56089 2002-06-30 11:08:00 Just as well you didn't listen to me and remove this thread just yet Bruce, 'cos I've got another query. :D

It appears that some threads on the old forum with a lot of replies to them haven't come over to the new forum with all their replies attached. I noticed one of my posts from the day before going live only had half of the replies with it and now someone else has mentioned that another thread is the same.

Are the replies out there somewhere, or is there a limit to the number of replies that came with the original thread? Some of them might be important....

56090 2002-06-30 22:25:00 We had real problems importing all the data. Special characters in the text would kill the import dead, etc etc and Jim had to do lots of work to get all the threads in. We thought we'd done it, but if you can give me some exmaples of threads (thread title, date of posting) then we can go compare them to the originals. Biggles (121)
56091 2002-07-01 03:59:00 OK Susan, see my post over at that XP thread (pressf1.co.nz)

We are still checking to see if there was a problem. What would be good is fi you could point me to a thread that you know you didn't add to while we were doing the BEAT but which you now think is missing posts.
