"Preview" Function isn't Working Well.

[l008com]

I haven't used the site much since the forum software update updated. I was just working on a post and I found some problems with the Preview post button. What happens when I hit it, is that the preview opens up in a "floating" layer over the rest of the page. Because my post had an image, it was long and the buttons were off the bottom of the page. This wouldn't be a big deal normally, HOWEVER Preview also, somehow, locks your ability to scroll. So there's no way to go down and access the buttons. You have to reload the whole page and re-enter your post. Not fun.

BUT the one good thing I noticed is that the forum auto-saves your posts so if they get lost, they don't really get lost. This is a great feature that is actually very easy to implement and it's really annoying that forums haven't been doing this for 10 years now. But it's hear now and has already made my life easier!

Picture of what I get when I Preview. Despite the visible scroll bar, it is locked and unable to be moved.

I will work on getting this fixed, thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that are not working correctly today, the topics are not updating, the rankings are messed up, etc. But I will say, I have had problems with my servers today as well, my wife has probably had at least 2 dozen support calls today.

Are you still having an issue with this?
