Announcing the NI Discussion Forums Upgrade

[Ben]

Did I miss a previous report of the Kudos star being clipped in the messages?

I usually just go to my tracker- to see activity for my latest posts-

NO info on replies there-  View all posts is different and has reply information- 

can these pages become formatted similarly?  Weren't they the same page before?

I had originally posted this here, but I will post it in this thread since this one seems to have become the repository for comments and issues.

Is there a bug in the way images are inserted now?

I am using IE8.  I attached an image file and posted the message.  I went back in to edit the message.  I put my cursor at the end of the text because that is where I want the image to go.  I went to the third tab of the insert image dialog, loaded my image, and clicked insert.  It put my image at the beginning of my message rather than where my cursor was at the end.  In the past, it always put it at the cursor location.  Once I stretched out the edit window longer, I was able to drag and drop the image to the bottom of the message like I wanted.

But I never had to do that before this forum upgrade.

Note:  It does this in IE7 as well.

I can find the "View all Post" by clickin  the link that used to take me to the Ben Tracker, but how do I get to that screen now?

I just type "N" in the navigation bar-  Firefox pulls down a selection that is swapped to "http://forums.ni.com/t5/forums/messagetrackerpage/user-id/123634" when I click-  Not sure how to find a tracker otherwise

I used to be able to configure my "Ben Tracker (list of my post page) for 100 posts. It is now limited to only 20.

Where do I find that setting to set it back to 100 per page?

With my post rate, 20 only handles one day. "100" gives me a week.

Stop posting so much and go back to work!

I don't know if this is related to the forum upgrades, but I've only seen it today, and only from within the forums.  I'm running IE7 at work.  I just hit Refresh on the screen, and all my IE7 windows just disappeared.  It's happened a few times now, but I thought I might have been me having just hit "X" on one two many windows.  But this time, I know I hit Refresh and about 3 IE windows just vanished.

Anyone else seeing the same thing?  It has never happened before.  I haven't been at very many other websites today to see if they have done it.  And it didn't happen last night at home on my IE8 browser.

I just tried it on my IE7 (damn you for making me pull this up! ) and I did not see this happen. I did notice that the page drawing seems to be much slower on IE7 than Firefox. Previously it used to be about the same.

Here's another problem:

When inserting a link after selecting some text, the key focus is on the "link text" field. It should be on the URL field, (with the "HTTP://" already selected so it will be replaced with the real URL from the clipboard.

(This worked correctly in the old version. Now we need a few more clicks for no reason at all :()

I had previously reported this, and Laura acknoledged it. Not sure if it's going to be changed, though.

Well, I found one bug with attachments:

I was creating one message and added an attachment. I did not click the Post button. While composing it I decided I needed to reply to another message and clicked the reply for that thread in another tab. This second reply had no attachment. I clicked Post on this second reply. That message showed up with the attachment. When I finally clicked Post on the first reply it also showed up with an attachment.

Hi smercurio-

I tried to reproduce this myself without any luck.  Was there anything else you did - like preview?  Were the threads in the same board or different?  Was it the same thread? I believe you are using Firefox, correct?

Thanks,

Laura
