Clicking on the "new" button no longer takes me to the last post. Instead, it takes me to the first post. Quite the inconvenience, and it defeats the whole purpose of having a "new" button.

The "new" thing is a button?

I had no idea! Just took it as a notification. Seriously!

QuoteI think we were running a pre-1.1 version before though, so all this stuff might be new for us.

Yeah, we were running 1.0.9 before, but most of the changes in 1.1 are around easier administration, so in terms of everyday usage of the forums you'll probably just notice the following:
* inline editing of messages
* ability to label and search PM's
* ability to report dodgy PM's to the moderators

QuoteAnother problem- I've tried going back and viewing old pages of threads and there is some sort of 'database error'. :/

Thanks for reporting this, it seemed to only affect the C&A forum and should now be fixed.

Ok, I think I've fixed this now. Please let me know if you're still having issues.

I had that problem too, and it appears to be fixed. Hooray!

Another problem, that I might be imagining...
The red 'while you were typing' warning that says new messages have been posted - didn't that previosuly show the new messages, so you could tell if you had to edit yours? If so, it doesn't anymore - bug? If not I must be thinking of another forum, but it's a nice feature to have.

EDIT:
OK, nevermind. It works again. Did it get resolved, or was I imagining it?
I know what you're thinking ... Don't think that.

Don't know if it did, but the new post should always be there to be seen, just under, without pressing the link, at least so I've had it.

Sorry to dig this up again, but seems that there're some changes in the use of tags since the update.

For example the colour tags in this sticky are now messed up.
I also noticed that the order of the tags is now more restrictive, for example in the Hall of Fame thread, the GRAND SLAM WINNERS heading was messed up, which I later fixed by reordering the tags (the [center] tags must be in the outmost level).

I'd like to know if it's just something messed up, or a change in post formating rules for newer version of software.

This won't affect many people anyway, mainly moderators, as combination of text style tags are used mostly in forum rule locked stickies.

A minor difference, but I just noticed that under moderator's name it now displays "moderator member" instead of "moderator" as it used to be.

I'm not sure which one is more appropriate, just to mention the difference.

Gilbert

Well these are two things, that means he's a "moderator" and a "member".
Seems that in the past it was set that if he's a moderator the "member" status was not displayed.

Now, even CJ is listed as both "Administrator" and "member".

AGA

I'm pretty sure it's always said Member for moderators. I remember this because I had 4 lines of text under my username and above my avatar.

Yep fair, so maybe the new way is even better. Again I just mentioned the change.

QuoteSeems that in the past it was set that if he's a moderator the "member" status was not displayed.

Yeah, if you are a moderator on specific board, you got "member" (as well as any other mittens-related titles, and I think that issue was discussed before) replaced by "moderator".

QuoteNow, even CJ is listed as both "Administrator" and "member".

I think that always was this way, since it works globally.

Yeah, and it's my guess global moderators' titles remain the same across all boards.


Anyway here is a google's cached page, as an example.

Another thing I noticed, I usually use the Quick Reply function. When I reply with a quote, a green 'Replying With Quote...' appears at the top of the screen.  Very strange...
