Is it possible to "lock" the top of the forum screen so that when you scroll down the "new posts, private msgs, etc" stays at the top of the screen? I think it would make navigating a bit easier. Might just be me though.

I've never seen a forum have that option but that would be pretty rad to have that option....how about it Ratt/DRB? Can we do that??!?!

Good question. We can look into it.

To navigate to the top quickly, you can hit the 'Home' button on your keyboard. That's how I do it.

Not sure why, but today I wasn't able to edit my posts.. It came up with the editing window, but none of the buttons would work.. like save, advanced, delete..

just thought I would mention this.

Our timeout is set at 3600 seconds (1 hour).

As for your other problems, I would suggest clearing your cache or cleaning out your cookies and temp files, then re-enter the site.

Eeeeek, same thing here. Getting timed out. I know it's not my internet cache or anything of that nature because it got cleaned very well yesterday. =\

Also (suggestion): Is there any way you can change the icon beside the date at the top of each post so you can better tell which posts are new, and which ones are old (viewing from inside a thread). Right now the only difference I'm seeing is the old ones are white squares and the new posts are blue squares with lines (like a note). A bolder color change or anything that'd stand out more would be great.

I know there are other ways to get to the first post in a thread, but sometimes I start scrolling and lose my place.

Thanks.

This is odd about the timing out. I personally can stay connected for the said time with no activity. I'll see if there is a reason as to why y'all are experiencing this.

I am not able to reply with a quote.

I took a screen shot of it.

If you notice in the circle, it seems to just be loading. I tried to wait it out, and reload the page, but to no avail. I am not sure if it is something that is my fault or something is ajar with the forum. I also don't know if it is just me, or everyone..

got to love when you clear all your cookies.. and you then realize that you also deleted the cookies/caches that log you in to places, have your information stored.. stuff like that.

I've noticed it a couple of times. I'm also still experiencing the "are you sure you want to leave this page?" notification.

Try harder.

You're right, I get it, It all makes sense. You're the PERFECT person. So right. So wrong. =D ok I'm done. Thanks for the hard work David and Johann! We all greatly appreciate you both!

That is odd.

What OS are you running? Also, are you using IE, FireFox, Chrome, or other?

The only time I get this message is when I start typing a reply to a thread and either back out or move to another page without finishing the reply. I use Firefox BTW.

Yes, the same thing happened to me when I left the site for another site in another tab and the dialog box you all have been seeing popped up. Dave will have to ask the vB guys what could be the problem as I have no idea.

In the meantime, lol, stay on the site and finish the post :)

As for the quotes using Chrome, I am able to quote all day long and I use Chrome. This may be another question for the Lords of vBulliten.

Hooray for another way to use XN :)

Hopefully we can get the Forum Runner app up this month as well.


P.S.
The word 'up' should never follow the abbreviation of application.

I've had it running Safari...if I quote or type a response and open a new tab (say to Flickr to copy the BBCode for pics), sometimes it will Time Out, even for just a few seconds to copy and paste. I also have this problem in PMs as well.

Whats with all the mini XN logos? They are on every post and thread.. Just a tad annoying, since I think everyone knows what site they are already on..

These....
