I'm afraid that patience is going to be key with some of these issues. We're aware of the posts not showing immediately, timezones being wonky, and also the issue with members not being able to do certain actions like delete their PM's or save the information in their userCP. In fact, every item that you have brought up has been "ticketed" to be looked at.

The forum is now fixed width. Which means that it is set to a certain size. There is no longer an option to have this set differently as the forum is fully integrated with the rest of the site. I know this will be a difficult transition for some to make, but I appreciate the effort that it takes to adjust to the new site.

One more thing, if a INTERNAL link doesn't work it SHOULD be redirected. If it's NOT redirected you should be able to just add a /forum after http://specktra.net and it will work fine. We're working on making sure that ALL links are redirected to the new URL's.

We sure will just need a few days to get used to it.

I am soo happy that specktra is back!

Thank you so much!

The newer MAC smileys don't work right now.

Aw man. Bummed about the fixed width. Maybe I can write a GreaseMonkey script for FireFox to fix it. XD

Premium members - are you still seeing ads? This issue should be resolved now.

purrtykitty · 01-02-2009, 06:52 PM #31 (**permalink**)

Is there a 'New Posts' link like there was on the old forum? And the link you provided for FAQs is displaying a 'Not Found' error message for me.

I don't see any.

The "New Posts" button, along with the FAQ's are located in the navigation area right underneath the 40k members join the forum today graphic. Right above the bar where it says "Greetings UserName" when you're logged in.

I see ads sometimes. I sound like the kid from The Sixth Sense! I guess it will all settle down eventually.
Thanks for all the hard work!

Hi Janice,

The dark grey area underneath the "40K members" and above "Greetings" is totally blank for me. There is no user menu at all

This wasn't an issue for me earlier today.

vikitty · 01-02-2009, 07:28 PM #37 (**permalink**)

I don't see any ads because I have AdBlock on FF which kills them... so I'm guessing that explains the empty square and rectangle? That makes a lot more sense and was why I was all "Why is the top all misaligned?"

That's because it's coded for ads, since you don't view ads that area will be blank from now on. Doh, wait - I just re read what you said. Will create a new ticket for you. Is it possible for you to share a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Beauty Mark · 01-02-2009, 07:45 PM #39 (**permalink**)

There are alignment issues for me as well. If you like, I can take some screen shots.

Are there themes to choose from or just one? I could not find an option to select a theme, but I wanted to make sure.

AvantGardeDoll · 01-02-2009, 09:06 PM #41 (**permalink**)

I really hope the Romantic Speckles theme/layout is brought back, the current one makes it annoying to read anything. Also, the whole forum is not completely centered for me either. It's off to the left a bit.

coachkitten · 01-02-2009, 09:16 PM #42 (**permalink**)

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but after I am done reading the new posts in a thread it is still bold as if I have not read it. I assume that this is being worked on but I thought that I would mention it. I am also getting a message that says that no new FOTDs have been posted within 7 days and it is requiring me to log in again.

Thanks again for all of your hard work Janice & Mods.

franimal · 01-02-2009, 09:31 PM #43 (**permalink**)

I am DYING without my new posts link also. I have to open a post before I can see the bar with the menu.

nenalinda27 · 01-02-2009, 09:37 PM #44 (**permalink**)

I have messages in my inbox and I can't read them. It keeps asking me to login.

Shimmer · 01-02-2009, 10:09 PM #45 (**permalink**)

I'm having serious lag issues as well. :/ One page says I've cleaned my inbox, another says no way, and threads are t aking awhile to post. :/

elegant-one · 01-02-2009, 10:14 PM #46 (**permalink**)

I have to reload the page in order to get new posts to actually show up even though I have clicked on the new link/post

MrsMay · 01-02-2009, 10:51 PM #47 (**permalink**)

I'm just a little confused... can someone please let me know where to find the User CP button now?

EDIT: Found it now...

jrm · 01-02-2009, 11:12 PM #48 (**permalink**)

Anyone else find that the width of the site seems to have shrunk dramatically? It used to fill my browser window, width-wise, and now it's barely 70%. If I were to use full-screen in the browser, it's more like 55%. I know my monitor isn't small - but I can't be the only one seeing this.

Just seems like everything is a lot more squished up than it used to be.

Another thing I've noticed is the page navigation buttons in threads seem to be very spread out. Not sure if this is an internet explorer vs Firefox bug (i'm using firefox), but yeah .. huge gaps between pages, 1, 2, etc.

Anyways - I'm sure people are working on this stuff.

Looking forward to seeing things come back to the standard they were previously

I'm logged in, but it says "Private" in the FOTD forum for me. However, it really is not private because I can still get in. I think its logging me out each time I go to the forums.

COBI · 01-03-2009, 01:05 AM #50 (**permalink**)

I was frustrated because I couldn't find the "new posts" but then I realized I have to be in the forums page.

It sounds like some may be having actual display issues, but hopefully this will help others.

Of course, for the last hour or so, it seems to be hung up because even when I've been gone for a while, it says this when I try to access new posts: This forum requires that you wait 15 seconds between searches. Please try again in 14 seconds.
