forum bugs

[iamwhatiseem]

wouldn't it be just as easy (or not) to replace the php script in the forums directory?...say make it a redirect to the new one?

Some of the older links, with the /forums in the pathway still work, but they don't access things like the report post function properly.

That would be it. Ive never changed my bookmark. THanks.

Another bug is that when you post in the breaking news section, it doesn't show up on the new posts page.

Unless it's that way on purpose?

Also, when you want to search for all your past posts or threads you've made, usually on other boards you can go to your public profile and click the links to do so. But those links aren't there on this board.

How does one search for all posts by one poster or all threads by one poster?

They're still in the profile, just down one level. Click on the "statistics" tab in the user's profile.

Great!!! Thanks! I wanted that so badly the other day when I was trying to find the year old RIP thread. I found it anyway, just by going through the pages of the forum it's in....but thanks Matt. I like those links.

Do you know anything about why breaking news doesn't get included in new posts?

Actually, now that Im using the bm without the /forums part, the cookie doesnt work right for me. I go to UserCP and click to go to newest post in a subscribed thread and it takes me to post #1. But if I use /forums/usercp it works fine. Odd?
