Quote From H:

The number of pms in the inbox isn't updating. It said I had none until I clicked on it just now and I actually had 3!?!?

Are we having a chat room as well?

The inbox counter only updates when you refresh or change the web page your viewing. If you leave your computer viewing the inbox page it will check every 30 seconds and indicate when new messages exist.
We have no future plans for chat rooms but will keep our options open. Cheers for the feedback H.

Yep, I think only the first three words or so are posted - its happened to me twice. I'm on a PC, Windows XP, browsing on IE v7. Thanks.

Does the post appear ok and then after submitting the post gets cropped?

Pete to the rescue! teehee hee :p

I know for me, what happens is that , you get the error box coming up saying maximum word count reached, and then you hit backspace once, you hit it again, to delete another word and then the next time you press backspace, the entire message gets deleted in one swoop!

i'm using internet explorer, PC

Thanks, I see, can you tell me which version of IE?

Grrrr why is it only posting half a post?

I was saying that I love it Walminski how your name is so long, on the front page it has pushed all the stars outside the box...

Now sorted, thanks for the feedback.

Hi Walminski when I vote for you as 'helpful' nothing happens... but I did try to give you a star! Worked for everyone else...

Thanks for trying to vote for me, Rosy. :-) I'll probably never have a star and so be starless forever. :-(

Your long name was causing a problem with the voting system. The system now shows your stars correctly, thank you for the feedback

Hey Pete, that's worth a star isn't it? (I can't recommend myself!).

Hmmmmm, look what this has reduced us too...grovelling and scrabbling around for every star possible... :$

I dont give stars, I only vote for helpful users. So, I have voted for you and Soarous which just so happens earned you another star. Thanks

Hey all,

I haven't been able to access this forum for about 5 days. I assumed it was completely down, but obviously everyone else has still been posting.

You were sent an email explaining that your username had been altered because we no longer allow [Spaces] in usernames. This will be the reason that you had trouble. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
