The bug reporting mechanism at LQ is being overhauled over the next couple weeks. I've fixed the reviews issue you were seeing. Thanks for the bug report.

The post quote/code being always blue regardless of back ground is getting annoying and hard to read. Please fix.

Fixed- thanks muchly!

While this issue is being looked at, I'll point out that under the old software, code boxes could present this kind of problem on 800x600 screens. I.e. the code box was taller and/or wider than the browser display area causing frustrating juggling games with both the main and code box's scroll bars. Hopefully this can get corrected for all screen sizes in the new software. (Am I correct that the website can find out the size of the browser window? Particularly with Java Script enabled?)

@archtoad6,

Yeah, I have a new notebook with a 1280x800, but I generally only use it when I need something portable. I just fumble it too badly for general use.

Is it piling on to 2nd pusrob's report about the "Spell Check" button in Advanced edit? I really missed it earlier this am. (I am almost fanatical about spell checking everything before submitting.)

The code/quote issue has been addressed.

Have you considered temporarily activating your browser's spell check feature, if available, while the problem is being fixed? Just a thought.

The editor windows sizes should be much better and the spell check has been added to the advanced edit mode.

This isn't a problem really, but the menu you get when you click someone's username in a thread appears even if you don't click the username but click anywhere on the same line in the box where the user's info is. E.g. I can click slightly left of the word "The" in jeremy's post above and still get the menu. Is it meant to be like that?!

Edit: Oh, I've only just realised my title's been changed. Thanks jeremy!

Yes. Much better. Thanks

I am testing this with this post. On my 800x600 system, the smilies on this edit box are only accessible as a drop down menu from the top. But
that is OK by me.

EDIT: I just noticed the link back to the original post in "the Originally Posted by ..." line in quotes. Cool.

I can confirm that the editor window is now again uncovered in Opera 9.22.

However the smilies are gone and there is only a grey area visible on the right side of the editor window about 50% if the size of the editor window.

But uhm... we can do without smilies, you can put something in in the Unix way (the way smilies were designed for)

oh well...

* The smilies are still available from the editor (or, of course, by typing them in manually).
* I believe the DHTML popup always came up in that manner

Problem #1
I have visited this thread 2ce today from links in e-mail msgs.:

1st, from one I received by subscribing to the thread,
2nd, from one I received by subscribing to the forum.

There was a minor but curious difference: #1 showed the entire thread, but #2 only displayed through post #24 (I have "Show 40 Posts Per Page" set in my LQ options) until I did an F5 refresh (in Konq. 3.3.2). I never noticed this behavior before the upgrade.

This brings me to a suggestion: how hard would it be to have the thread links provided in forum subscription e-mails include the same "&goto=newpost" that the thread subscription e-mails do? Would that also cure this problem?

Problem #2
The [check message length] & [fixed font] links are gone since yesterday.

Not sure if this is related to the code upgrade, but I've had a problem reporting a thread today. When trying to report this thread, I get: "The title that you have entered is too long (92 characters). Please shorten it to 85 characters long."

quick reply box is huge! Not sure if it's a bug or a feature, lol.

I think it's just fine. The old box was too small anyway..

I haven't bumped into too many problems today, starting to look good..thanks!
