The quote buttons aren't always there! If I am reading a thread without logging in, and then I login to reply, the quote buttons aren't there. But if go back to the home page and then back into the thread, they appear. If I login from the home page and then go into a thread, the quote buttons are there straightaway. Minor niggle, but annoying!

Along the same lines... if you click reply, get the message telling you that you need to log in, you do so... it still won't let you reply unless you refresh the page.

You also don't see the 'abuse' button unless logged in - I can't always be bothered to sign in just to report spam.

I didn't have this problem before, but now I do - I am constantly being told I'm not logged in when I am, and then when it finally allows me to post, an error message pops up saying "there was an error with your post - please refresh the page". Then when I refresh, my post appears, even though it says it hasn't worked.... getting pretty annoying now and is putting me off replying. I have to type my answer, then copy it just in case it gets deleted, refresh the page, check if it's there, if not copy it into the box again, etc etc ad infinitum... (and surprise surprise, I had to go through that rigmarole to get this message to post!)

Sorry to hear about this ^^ I don't seem to have these problems with error messages / quote buttons but I will pass on to our web guys to see if they can recreate.

Good point about the 'abuse' button - I will check if this was done purposefully or not.

I'm also having the above problem of being told to log in even if I'm logged in, and then having to refresh the page before being allowed to reply.

We are hoping the issues with logging in and quoting are fixed now - please let me know if not!

Anyone know how I can be notified by email when there's a new post to a thread that isn't started by me?

Under "My account", I see an option to get notified if I receive a PM, or if the thread was started by me, but not for one I'm participating in (like this one).

Thanks!

Is there any point to the 'load thumbnail' function when sharing a URL? Half the time it doesn't seem to work and when it does it isn't terribly informative - it just spreads out a post unnecessarily.

What do others think?
