said by Gizy  :Originally, the "send email to user" on their profile page was highlighted in yellow. Now it's all white (at least on my theme). I liked it being highlighted in a different color--it made it easier to find. Any chance of changing it back? I can't believe many people look for and use this form as often as you suggest such that it would benefit from a stand-out color. |

said by Weirdal :I've got one, though it may be kind of specific. Can things in the endeffect theme be fixed? There is no load bar, no topic points, and no inbound links displayed. Also, the background of the "news" and "forums" on the ticker doesn't change when I click them, that's no big deal though. 'endeffect' has been renamed to 'shades' and is now published as a global theme so that it appears on the top right menu along with 'default' and 'dark' ('seti' has been removed). You can still pick a theme using 'more..' however. |

Today I fixed up the way comments attached to news articles appear for logged out users. (removed the useless thumbs-up icon, cleaned up the format a bit. Also completely removed a view style that almost nobody used that was nearly broken anyway).
Also added the instant message pages to the navigation bar (Your.. IMs)
Made various changes to improve the experience for anonymous users.
Also changed the default 'i see people' format to be a little more compact, but clearer.
Possibly also added code to invalidate a cache when user profiles are changed, such that the changes will show up immediately. |

Brooklyn, NY | the top right theme menu that mods and logged out users get. Logged in users don't get it. I'm not sure why, anyway, you can get it from prefs. |

»Why do I see double posts?
Using Flat view, I no longer see a blue background and don't seem to be missing posts any longer. However, the second page of posts is all repeat posts from the first page but not all posts are repeated (about the last half are repeated). This is happening in IE6, Fx 1.5.0.7, SeaMonkey 1.3 and Opera 9.
In this one they start being repeated on the second page with Scree's post:

Brooklyn, NY | I don't see this issue currently.. if you have 100 posts per page set in your preferences, then the entire response fits into the first page. With 20 posts per page, pagination should appear. |

| It's set for 50 and there is pagination with posts being repeated on the second page. This is using Flat mode. It's fine in the default text mode. I prefer Flat mode though. I'll look at some more articles and see if it is doing it today...perhaps it is intermittent. I can always read it in text mode...but I do prefer Flat. |

Brooklyn, NY | I don't see a repeat on page 2.
It is easy to check if flat mode is working look at the timestamps. They should only increment on page 1 and then page 2 keep incrementing. Etc. |

| I checked a couple of new ones and they are fine. So, then I looked at the one from two days ago that was showing the double posts and that prompted me to ask about it in this thread. That news article now displays correctly in Flat view.
So, I don't know if this is intermittent or what. But everything is fine at the moment. Let's hope it stays that way. (I suspect it is some intermittent something that being fleeting and whimsical you would have a lot of difficulty finding. Hopefully the site gremlins will behave most of the time).

I just had to login. What happened to "back"? I was only given the choices: Favorite forums, updated followed, instant messages, home page. Ugh. My home page since I joined has been »/postlist. So, why can't I get there easily now when I am forced to login? I never log out but I still have to login sometimes especially if I use my other computer here and then come back to this one I am logged out.
Was this just some strange one time anomaly? Or has the "back" choice been removed? If the latter, please put it back! I don't want to go to updated followed. I want to go to followed. I never use Updated Followed. In all these years, I have never once used it. I don't have Favorite forums chosen here and don't want that option. Even if there are instant messages waiting for me, I don't want to open them first. I want to go to my home page which is Followed first. I also don't want to go to the Home page when I login. I want to go to my home page - Followed!

Something's wrong with this. What's the difference between "kbps" and "kb/sec"? Those designations are equivalent. Did you mean to capitalize one of those "b"s? |

it is hellishly confusing. Is there an authority on capitalizations and bits per second abbreviations? |

I believe KB and Kb are correct. |
