I'd believe that if they hadn't been showing up instantly up until a few days ago when the issue started.

Also thanks for putting the new sticky thread icon in. Now I can actually see where things begin.

Two items:

First: My User Control Panel shows my number of previous posts, but I too get the response 'nothing found' when I click on 'view your posts'. This makes it very difficult to find previous posts that I was interested in. Don't know if this is a general problem or user-specific.

Second: An earlier poster in this thread indicated that he liked the 'location' feature in the user information section. I second that. The next poster replied that it got lost on the transfer, so you have to re-enter your location. I have looked everywhere in my account profile but there does not seem to be anywhere to enter (or re-enter) my location (Toronto, Ontario). Am I missing something, or is this something that is still on the list to be done?

UPDATE: Just found where to enter my location info. Under 'Edit Profile' in my User Control Panel the seventh field down is 'Location', right between 'Website' and 'Occupation'. Don't know how I missed it before! :gotme

Yeah the "search" function is really bad. If it does come up with anything it is usually crap. Cant find a lot of the info I want to. And as other people said the "View Posts", probably the same problem as search.

It REALLY needs to be fixed, basically makes the forum useless for find info, which is what I do on here mostly.

That the same issue they had with the OG Learned'd thread, so look forward to that one getting shut down as well, I think the NICO Word Association Game thread may start having the same error message in the near future. as those are the last of the super huge thread that I know of. They could also be severely impacting the results of the Search function like the Learned'd thread was, which could be why they can't fix it.

When I'm not in General Chat forum, all the links under Datsun Pickup and Links from "General Chat" to "The Great Outdoors" are not clickable.
It was fine last night but this started happening this morning.

This happens on Firefox, doesn't happen in Internet Explorer. :ohno:

This was sort of mentioned in the early pages but I wasn't sure if you took it the same way I did. When I zoom in [mac (command +)] it starts cutting off pictures and refitting text to fit in the new space.

I can't really explain how it's not zooming the way it used too but it's like instead of zooming in and still have everything to current spec and in the same place, it just rearranges everything to fit it into the new frame you give it. (sorry for the reiteration)

If you see any posts like that, feel free to shoot me or another staffer a PM with a link. It's easy to fix. Actually, members can even fix it yourselves if the first broken post is your own: you need to edit the first broken post and fix the quote brackets. Make sure the open and close quote brackets are complete, then make sure there's at least a single space between the close quote bracket and any text that follows. If a space doesn't fix it, try a whole line break. That'll fix the whole thread.

For those who didn't catch the post when it was "broken", it was a post where the avatar column content was moved over to the right and superimposed over the actual post content, so neither was readable.

Does NICO have plans to use the feature that allows someone to see how many posts a particular person has on a particular thread?

Overall I'm incredibly happy with this forum change. It seems like all the bugs have been ironed out (or at least all that reasonably can be until someone does that one thing that only happens once a month to trigger an unknown problem).

As I understand it, this is a phpbb forum, so tapatalk support would be bitchin. http://www.tapatalk.com/en/plugin
Then I could more effeciently waste time here when I'm on the go




I also miss the pancake bunny.
