I've asked for this numerous times. Fix this.

 

1) Show who was being quoted.

2) Simply copy the current graemlins directory to http://boards.collectors-society.com/images//graemlins/ so the graemlins appear properly.

 

Added as Bug Fix #2.

I've prepared an excel spreadsheet outlining my comprehensive Boards fix. First up will be a user pruning of epic proportions.

 

I'll miss the Class of 2013.

Suggestions:

 

1) Delete all posts between today & January 1, 2014.

2) Resemble Leto II & transcend time&space in ways never exactly made clear in the novels & that have no real bearing on the plots yet are discussed on each page, throughout.

That means the LTPC is still alive and well and Comics General is a better place?

Auto collapse (spoilers) for posts over a word/line threshold...

[VintageComics]

I have my preferences set for 10 posts per page, which I think is default. Yet those things still happen to me.

 

Do you have more than one forum window open when it happens?

 

It might be a cookie issue where you might be on a particular page in one window and the other window for some reason uses the same page count as the first window - something like that.

 

It often happens to me when I have Comics General open in one window and have the WC open in another window that when I try to go, say, to page 2 of the Watercooler that page 1 shows up again. Weird.

 

I always attributed it to just cookies getting mixed up between the two windows.

[VintageComics]

I'd like a manicure / pedicure check feature. I want Comics General to let me know when I need one.

Not usually, no. IOW, if I do, that isn't the reason, as it happens when I only have the one window open, which is most of the time.

Not sure if anyone else ever has this problem. Sometimes when I click on a PM thread that has multiple pages it doesn't take me to the latest post. This seems to only happen when the newest post is the first one on the next page.

In the "New Forum" discussion thread the clickable list of action items should be "Swickied" ®

 

definition - A variation on the term "stickied" which applies to thread access on a forum page, the "Swickie" is slang for the same concept within a thread - placing the main gist of a thread on page one, post one - whether it be a recap of content, suggestions, rules etc.. the OP has control of the first post and updates it periodically to keep contributors aware of suggestions in a readily accessed point.

I've talked to Swick about this tactic, and unfortunately the edit time limit of one year causes problems. For example, the Noob Guide cannot be updated anymore. So, the floating table of contents would appear to be the better option (and also allows others to make updates if I get hit by a bus).
