when I click on the email link. it used to put me straight through to the response to my post or the latest on the thread, now I have to scroll down to find the newest post. It's probably easy to sort out... :&>

This is fixed now.  :)

just one small thing...we still have to ckick on profile to find someones location, can't we have it under their avatar?

and the new replies button, i found this frustrating on the old forum too, it only shows new replies, but if you replied to it yourself last it does not show, so if you want to edit it for example, takes ages to find the post.

just small things, overall not complaining!

Hi Dan - is there any chance of somehow shrinking the big blank green screen we see at the start of the forum, by bringing the first posts a bit closer to the top?  It catches me out every time when I expect the messages to come up where I can see them, then remember I have to scroll down.  Or it could have a pic in it.

Hi Tazbabe - just in case it helps - to find your own posts, click Profile then Show Posts.  May save you a click or two.   :D

Yes, that's on the list.  :)

Sorry, that's core behaviour and not something I'm going to change.  :(

A quick way to find your latest posts is Profile > Show Posts  :)

No problem, the little things make a difference!

Hi Dan,
Like the refurb but I can't find the spellcheck when posting a reply, am I going blind. ???
Everyone makes mistakes as the Dalek said climbing off the dustbin.

No, you weren't going blind, I'd forgotten to compile spell checking on the new server.

Fixed now, you'll find the spell check button below the post window, beside 'Post' and 'Preview'.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Dan
