the "thread nicker" indeed!
We did an update this morning, and I heard tell of a few bugs.  Hang tight, they'll be back!

I think I may have found a clue regarding the blank page issue for members using Internet Explorer and have reported that in Support

I think it may be to do with where a member has accidentally included apparent HTML text by making a mistake in how they have tried to for instance format some text. This looks as if the IE interpreter throws a wobbly in trying to interpret the apparent HTML text and stops, Whereas another browser such as Firefox will merely print the apparent HTML text rather than trying to interpret it.

Or I may be completley wrong but it's worth looking into.

Glad you reported it there.  It's much easier for our folks if they can look in one place for our issues.

thanks, El Loro!

This is a copy of Dave's posting elsewhere re the problem on only seeing the first page of topics in each forum. The problem is of course being worked on.

When you're looking at the forum page you only see just page one.  You can get to page two by putting /page/2 at the end and so on.

The BB UK forum is http://talk.gagajoyjoy.com/dis.../122595734166215945/

so page 2 is http://talk.gagajoyjoy.com/dis...5734166215945/page/2

Oooo Ooooo! This just gets better by the minute! The Continue reading link!

(I've added this to the Support post referenced by El Loro as well)

Yup that's pretty much the case.  This is something we're working on. The issue is that IE does not play well with posts that contain text that has been cut and pasted from a Word doc. 

The word doc contains all kinds of hidden characters that set things like font color, and styling, etc.  When the post is published, all that hidden information confuses IE, while Firefox just ignores it.

So, essentially 1) It's best to use the buttons in the post editor rather than styling text in word then pasting it.  2) Use firefox 

Like the continue reading link VERY much, thanks for that, it just gets better and better...

I am probably being awfully stupid but I can't seem to find how to get onto page two etc of the forum. I only have the front page

Not stupid at all! It's already been commented on and is being looked into but for the time being look at El Loro's post ^^^^

It was a bit stupid not noticing that post though

Thanks Xoch

Maybe they're just making it too easy for us to get around now we don't stay put long enough to read a whole page!

Thickest FM here reporting for duty What & where is the The Continue reading link!

At the bottom of each topic page Essex... takes you to the top of the next page's replies, instead of having to click on the next page number! (It does have to have more than one page though!  

Thanks Xochi

Let us celebrate - our pages to each forum have come back.

A puzzling new feature - Channels - All Channels - this shows the following:
Start your own Channel - Tell Me More. Clicking on Tell Me More takes you to an error page.
So what's this about?

Hi, El Loro:
The error page is.... an error.   It's been reported and will be fixed.
A Channel is our new name for a Site or Community.

Does that answer your question?

I can`t see the continue reading link.

Aaah found it on the previous page

I have 2 inches of forum the rest of the page is taking up by LC advert,it would be lovely if they could keep it in LC and not on the right hand side of the forum it serves no pupose but does cause problems,the online names could go to the top of the page  

Thanks for your help Tayto - I'm going to check it out now! Sorry for dely in replying but last night my son was transferring all my stuff onto my new laptop for me so I was off line. Many thanks once again!

Will the Black Bar with Ticker be moving back down the page?  I'm not complaining and sorry if this has been asked before.

I'm back again... - could someone please post links to smilies that work on this site? My son seems to have deleted mine from my  bookmark list when he set up my new laptop! Thanks again for your time and effort people - I'd be right up the creek without you all.

Probably not, Tayto.

I cannot see the point of having a members list that you cannot control.. There are 1279 members in GaGa JoyJoy but I can see no way of using this other than to go through 20 pages of members one after one.. Am i missing something here?

Hello James.
I'm not sure what you want to do with the members list, but I have found that if you click on the column headings (ID, Points, Display Name) you can get the details of that column in a different order - alphabetical for example, or reverse alphabetical.
Hope this helps. Or more likely I have misunderstood.
Regards.

Thanks  Yeah I noticed those options. I was thinking a members list would be better in purely a list form, that is one without Avi's 

But you raised the question..  I'm not sure what you want to do with the members list" Thats the point what is the point of the members list. Specially one so large, unless you had some kind of A-Z function on it.

Just a thought.

I'm guessing you're using Internet Explorer?  We're looking into the issue.

I'm using Safari Chris... I'm half and half tonight, although I've been 25% post area size a few times in the last couple of days.

I am using Safari Chris it was okay last night but awful tonight

Weird, I am posting this from windows xp with safari 4.03 and don't see the issue at all.  Are you using Safari 4.03?  (that's the latest version)

I did find it the issue in IE though, so it's being worked on.

I am using safari 403

There are others using safari and they are having the same problems,it has gone back to normal now but dont know how long it will last ... fingers crossed

Me too Marguerita  
But it's OK again now.

so strange.  are there poltergeists in the wires?  

I'm wireless! Next idea?

Even better!  I hear the spirits enjoy habitating in the air.  Plus, it is near halloween

Nah! I just sussed it! Chaos theory, ain't it! I blame IE! 

"The flapping of a single butterfly's wing today produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere. Over a period of time, what the atmosphere actually does diverges from what it would have done. So, in a month's time, a tornado that would have devastated the Indonesian coast doesn't happen. Or maybe one that wasn't going to happen, does. (Ian Stewart, Does God Play Dice? The Mathematics of Chaos, pg. 141) "

You will thank me for this in the future!

You very wise, grasshopper!
