Hi dear,
I was looking around Board Central and have a few issues with the sections that I can get to.

Ben! writes: Somewhere along the lines, I guess during my profile editing, my signature got messed up. It used to be (I think) just some HTML code, which included an image. Now I guess you were doing some dbCode / HTML conversion stuff, but apparently it didn't work out. The problem with signatures should now be fixed. Please let me know if you have further difficulties. Anyone who has updated their profile during the past couple days may have corrupted their signature. I have already fixed the signatures for Ben and Adminnemooseus. Anyone else who needs me to fix their signatures just let me know.

Sorry to be dumping so many things at you at once... I am very grateful. I think finding bugs is wonderful.
1. If I go to "all topics" and click on the topic title, I'm brought to the first page, where I see the first 5 messages in reverse chronological order. This is weird, and not useful behavior. If I have reverse order, I want to be taken to the last 5 posts, not the first 5 posts! Not this week, but sometime soon we can have a dialogue about this. I tried to adhere to standard message board behavior (i.e., my understanding of how vBulletin, UBB, MyBB, YABB PowerBoad and EZBoard work), and I think I've captured it, but I could be wrong. I only have copies of maybe half these boards. I want improvements, but I don't want to run counter to what the general bulletin board user community has become accustomed to.
2. If I actually click on the last page for a thread with 22 posts, I'm not given the last 5 posts. I'm given the last 2 posts (22 mod 5 = 2). This is a little weird too. Let me comment by using a specific example. Say there's a thread with 17 messages and the user is displaying 5 msgs/page. That means 1-5 on page 1, 6-10 on page 2, 11-15 on page 3, and 16-17 on page 4. If we instead always had at least 5 msgs/ppage, that would put 13-17 on the last page, and it means that messages 13-15 would appear on both pages 3 and 4. I'm not arguing for or against this. I can see the advantages of having the most data possible on each page. On the other hand, I can see counter-intuitive aspects if we make an analogy to a book. What would you think if the last page of each chapter in a book was filled top to bottom, but the first portion was just a repeat of the last portion of the previous page? The analogy is imperfect because a webpage is not a book, and I draw no conclusions at this point.

Hi Percy,
Maybe it's because I'm using my father-in-law's computer (Darwin only knows what unique problems he's got logged), however, when I display a thread, the messages on the page are in reverse order, with the most recent message at the top. This means to read a page, I have to start at the bottom and scroll up. Has anyone else noticed this problem, or is it something local?

Gahhk. If that's the case, I've got a real problem with the way the board is set up now. What happens if you're away from the board for a few days - do you have any idea how complicated trying to catch up on a multi-page thread is? You have to start at the bottom of page 1, scroll up to the top of page one, click on page 2, scroll down to the bottom of page two, scroll up to read - and if the message is longer than your screen height, you have to scroll up until you find the top of the message, scroll down as you read it, then scroll back up to the top of the NEXT message. Wash rinse repeat.
Can we please go back to the old, clunky, not-for-profit bb system? Pretty please?

I'm with you, Quetzal. It's confusing to me.

when I display a thread, the messages on the page are in reverse order, with the most recent message at the top Go into your profile and change the state of "Message Display Order". You may need to change it and save it a few times until it takes.

It is now possible to set both the number per page and the order for both topics and messages pages.
See your "Profile", link towards the upper left of most to all pages. Go to bottom of profile page. Set "Message Display Order" to chronological. Adminnemooseus This message has been edited by minnemooseus, 12-27-2004 19:10 AM

Hi moose,
Whatever I set the order to in my profile, the All Topics list always displays as reverse chrono (ie newest at the bottom). If I log in as a guest it will display newest at top !??? The thread displays are ok. Please help me. Please.

Thanks for finding these member list problems. I've got them on my list, but won't be addressing them right away because I would like to rewrite the module, so it's not a trivial task.

Hi Percy,
I attempted to link to another thread with our [msg=1,302,63] format http://EvC Forum: Proof and analysis of Biblical end time accuracey [Synnegi] -->EvC Forum: Proof and analysis of Biblical end time accuracey [Synnegi] When previewing it shows up correct but when submitting it says that this thread and message do not exist in the BB&C forum and to try again. I then took out that format and it posted. There were then several empty posts listed by me.

Ben writes: In old posts, sometimes people use links to other messages. I really never experienced these failing, but now some do. Maybe because you've changed some links / functionality? I skimmed ahead in the thread, and I think there are a couple other messages about failing links of this type, and expressing concern about how links to thread pages could be accurate if users can each have a different number of messages per page. There are several points I should make:
I hope to get to all this soon, within a day or two.
