I know major bugs are frustrating, but lets remember to avoid the torches and pitchforks. Especially when its a service we get for free, the public often has a habit of not appreciating the labor, complexity, and expense to maintain key web services. Nothing is said until a major issue arises, then people get worked up and want to figuratively throw the administrators or the forum software company under the bus.

If I could quote you Micky, I would. Tim, if you can fix it, we all will pitch in for something stronger than coffee.....

after panel removal 70pct.jpg Looks to be fixed now, at least what I can see so far.
Ooops, can post image but can't adjust the position or cut the text.

Back to "near" normal. Some little niggling things, but as a whole it's much better.

Seems mostly OK. I haven't tried to attach a pic. But the "Latest Activity" list's text is so small I'm going to have to up the power on my reading glasses.

Who decides which font to use? You should fire him/her
Terrible. It's hard to read

The font is on the glitch list. When we originally converted to this version of VB, this was the font that was there. The push that caused all of this, reverted us back. They're working on it y'all. Hang in there.

1. No edit function available after posting
2. Font on page 2 of sort is messed up
3. Spell check interface not working correctly
4. The server returns "working" when posting a reply. Can immediately generate a new post on the same thread, but the original post is stuck in the "working" process. Close thread. Return to main menu, reopen thread. Same issue. No edit, quote, etc. functionality
5. Still getting "Debug" and " AJAX" screens here and there

Dingbat - Passed this and a few other things on to IT to work on. Hoping for some improvement across the board.

Since I am in the I.T. business, I know how things can get messed up and the fire drills that ensue. So, I tend not to make a fuss when things go off the rails.

I have noticed of late that the forum site works better on the iPhone than it does on the computer.

My curiosity is if the problems were a result of some planned changes to the site, or if there was some sort of malicious activity by an external party that got things messed up. Enquiring minds want to know :)
