Sometimes I click on a thread, and it will take me to a post near the bottom. WTF.

That's no lie. What's up? Someone forget to feed the hampstors?

Code:
It appears that Page 2 hasn't been made extremely wide (in Safari 3, anyway) yet. I am therefore going to widen it a bit to give the admins a little incentive to fix this very annoying bug. To recap: The horizontal scrollers on the code blocks are appearing in Firefox, but not in Safari 3.

edit: I should add that the horizontal scrollers only appear in Firefox when there are no breaks in the text (for the code block above, I used non-breaking spaces instead of regular spaces). Otherwise, it wraps, and you don't get the horizontal scrollers.

It's getting worse by the minute...

It's just a matter of time before the forum software starts taking our posts out of context, changing all of the facts and messing up the grammar.

Time is just, well, it matters from the the software start talking pasta into context and changing clothes on the postline to mess up teh grandma.

I've tried unsubscribing/deleting it from my reader and re-subscribing, but that hasn't helped.

Accoriding to the information provided by you i have fixed the RSS. Now feeds are availabe.

code tag seems to be fixed now. Now it displays scrollbars in safari too.

[thewebdrives]

Fix: when searching by post now it will take you directly to the post by clicking the hyperlink in the results displayed. here i would like to mention that the search words will not be highlighted because it was working on threads not individual posts.

[thewebdrives]

fix: Extra addition of 's' has been fixed. Now you will see no extra 's' in thread lists.

Indeed you have. Thanks!

Code:
This is a test to see whether the code tag scrolls when used normally, or whether it just wraps. The last time, I used non-breaking spaces - this time I am typing normally. Let's see what happens.

Nope - it still just wraps.

You are most welcome. It was our job. Indeed i should thank you for reporting the problem.

[Kerrigan]

Thank you webdrives for taking care of all these issues.

I HATE this "feature." The link to a thread now has the thread's real URL followed by /newpost/, which seems to do exactly the same as clicking on the name of the most recent poster. The problem is, now there is no way to simply go to the start of the thread. It's absolutely awful. I go to start reading the thread, and by the time my poor pismo is done loading the page, I'm about halfway through the first post, and suddenly it jumps to the bottom of the page. If it's a long page, it freezes Safari for about 15 seconds while it finishes rendering. This wasn't a problem when I could spend that time continuing to read the first post. It is a problem now that that time is spent looking at the bottom of a thread I don't even know the subject of yet.

At the very least, you have to make this "feature" optional. I would say just take it away altogether, it's redundant.

Just to clarify the remaining problem, the code tag now correctly ignores smilies and adds a horizontal scrollbar when there is a long line *with no spaces in it* (and this works fine in Safari), but if you have a long line broken up by spaces, it still incorrectly wraps the line and doesn't show the horizontal scroll bar.

For example, the text "blah blah blah ..." (repeatedly) where there are no line breaks, only spaces, should cause the code box to show a horizontal scrollbar so you can see all the "blah"s on one line. You can also see the example CharlesS showed earlier.

Basically, the code tag should only wrap lines when there is an actual newline that has been entered by the user.

I hope this helps clarify things. Thanks.

Just to document this here as well, I've fixed the resize image CSS; it now looks like this, which should be a big improvement over that nasty turquoise with the italicized text:



edit: Haha. It resized the picture of the resizer, sorry for the confusing pic.
