Adam, Still some gremlins...When I try to edit the original thread for the BBQ, still comes up as html and looks like its missing some of the test.

Paul, you'll have to reformat your old post in the Rich Text Editor once, then it should be ok from then on.

Ugh, now the html shows up in the actual thread. What am I doing wrong? Dead

Edit it, remove all the HTML looking stuff, then PREVIEW it. Make sure it looks clean. Then use the editor controls to reformat it.

I think the problem is you just need to get rid of all the HTML looking stuff to start.

Adams' Apple said: New threads/post from the subscription forums(Humor, Off Topic, Anything Goes) are not showing on the 24 Hour Active page. Not exactly any kind of emergency, just a heads up, just in case. New posts/threads DO show in the regular "Forums" lists.... Geek

This is by design. I figure they don't need to be in there. That isn't really what the site is about. If you want to see the latest in those forums, you can just enter into those forums.

I go away for the weekend, and when I come back everything is different! I hope this is temporary cause I have a hard time with new setups! Help!

You seem to be doing just fine. Don't panic. You'll get through this.

Adam, another new one - when I am editing, I cannot add an emoticon to a post, The window comes up but nothing happens when you click on them.

Adam Wartell said: POSTING

UPDATE: Posting should be back to using the Rich Text Editor and should be good for new and old posts. Note that if the post you want to edit was posting in the past day or two, it may lose it's formatting, so you'll just have to redo it once.

SIGNATURES

Signatures are back! You can edit it in your Profile. Also in your profile, you will choose to include your signature with ALL posts or not.

PRIVATE MESSAGES

Gone for now, but I'll put them back when I can.

If you see other features that are missing, let me know. Thank you!

The search feature does not work at all.

Paul,

I can not recreate this one. Are you sure you first clicked into the message box where you wanted the emoticon to appear? If you accidentally click somewhere next to the emoticon on the tool bar, it will set the focus to the toolbar and then the insert icon may not work.

See if you can get it to happen again.

Yup. I know about that one. I have to figure out a solution for that one. When I do, it'll be back.
