While making my first post in the revised forum I noticed a bug while trying to insert Emoties:



1. The mouse pointer was off - the mouse was hovering over the "speechless" icon but the floating text said "lick" which was in fact the icon inserted. I then had to point to the next one along to get the correct icon.



2. I then tried to enter a second icon and nothing would happen - no floating text and no icon. I was able to insert it manually by typing the usual character string though. [Actually I think this is the same bug - the emoties get further out of step as you move to the right and I was trying to click beyond the final detection point. Looks like a simple arithmetic error somewhere. For instance, if I want to insert the mad icon I need to point somewhere between the happy one and the grin one.



Otherwise things look good (except for the unreadable white text on yellow background issue that someone mentioned in the main TGC forum).

Looks like this issue has been fixed.



I can see from other threads that there is still work being done so we all need to be a bit () patient.



There are, however two new issues:



1. It isn't crystal clear to me where a post text actually starts when I read a post. Perhaps a slight change in the background colour would fix this?



2). There seem to be two strange numbers on the thread list entries. As a guess they might be no. of posts and no. of views but that doesn't seem to fit the evidence (Edit - I think it does but the other way around ). What are they? (I'll edit this with a screenshot to make this clearer in a minute.)



When all this settles down we might get back to testing FPSC(R).

@Green Gandalf



What browser are you using? Please can you take a full screenshot of what your thread list view looks like as I think the reason you are not understanding is you have a styling issue that I'd like to fix. Those numbers should not be un

Yes, I've just noticed that the forum displays fine on my W7 laptop which is using IE10. The image I posted is from my Vista machine which is using IE8 - and it still shows up wrong there (just checked).



I'll go back to it now and edit this post with a full screenshot. Glad to see these glitches being sorted out.



Edit Screenshot attached.

Do you have Javascript turned on, on your vista machine?

I'm guessing that you are asking about script debugging which is set in Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Browsing. I tried turning that on (I have no idea what's going on to be honest ) and got the message "jquery not defined" when I tried to refresh a sample forum page. Is that relevant?

Thanks. I'll give that a go and report back. Probably be about 45 minutes or so as doing something else right now.

OK. Just checked. Active scripting is enabled on both machines.



Edit And so is JavaScript.
