I have recently purchased the StarDock suite. I am running Hare 1.5.1 windows accelerator on this XP Pro box. Loading a theme or just a Skin causes an exception and Hare crashes.

that's really got nothing to do with forum bugs, huh?

When I go here, right in the middle of the page is a link that says:

Important notice: Incompatibility with WindowBlinds

open WB configuration, click 'per application' - 'add per application setting' then browse to your dachshund products and add them to be excluded from skinning.

if you have any questions, please start a new post

now, back to the forum bugs

I'm still unable to go directly to the first unread post or directly to my comment after posting, Firefox 1.5.0.6.

Thanks for the help even though my question was poisted in the wrong place.

Back to FORUM bugs.

When I click the users profile and select the option to e-mail it does nothing. This is in the latest version of FF. Works fine in IE7.

Tested working in Firefox 1.5.0.6.

I just noticed that when viewing someone's profile, it says "2005" for the age field. Also, is the name in the last commented by portion (right side) of the recent posts section on the main page supposed to be clickable? When hovering over the name it becomes underlined, but clicking does nothing. Hovering over the name of the original poster (left side) has no effect on it.

I'll have a look at the age field, as it's effecting the forum's info page as well. But the page you've referenced there is on the main wincustomize website, which is a different beast. I'll let dean know about the issue though (he's the guy currently in charge of the wc main website). The nickname thing is like that because we're exploring what to do with that at the moment and a desicion hasnt been made. Until then... just think of it as an extended april fools joke. (kidding, of course)

LOL, alright. It's funny because it was working fine and then last night when I looked at someone's profile it said age: 2005, so I checked my own and sure enough, said the same thing. I might be a little old, but not that old.

Fairyy it looks like your FF font size is a bit large.. Go to View > Text Size > Normal.

Lantec, this post is for forum bugs. Not website bugs. Please repost that reply in the proper post, or create a new post.

Thank you.

Not sure if this is known by you guys so I thought I'd point it out.

I have recently made an account and after trying to use "Modnar" as a nickname it was already taken. So I tried "Mod-Nar". I got a pop-up saying I could only use A-B, a space, or 0-9 in my nickname, but it still created anyway..

What page did you sign up from?

Successfully updated karma reason!

I think this is a bug? Along the lines of the names being underlined but not actual links, I'm getting the link cursor for the read/unread notification images and they aren't links too? Also, the disappearing line break issue in the edit/advanced post whatever is still there (Firefox 1.5.0.7).

Original topic about the bug.

Bebi Bulma : I haven't seen that bug in eons. I need to know what editor you are using, the Advanced mode or inline mode. If you're using the Advanced mode, check the options tab to make sure you're not in Pure HTML mode.

I only seem to notice it when I edit my post after I've posted it. Just clicking on the Edit link and then all the line breaks are gone.

I am experiencing some strange behavior. I use Firefox. In the advanced edit mode there is a button, graphics are two angle brackets, tooltip View HTML Source. Clicking this button a few times will result in all the content being deleted. Using basic editing mode, as found at the bottom of all threads, and inserting links using the Insert Web Link button, the links will display mangled. As seen here As a note, that link^^ was typed using an "a tag" in Advanced mode with Pure HTML selected. I believe I am also in View Source mode. In advanced mode, pure HTML selected, the Insert Web Link button will not finalize. When re-editing a post that has already been submitted once, some HTML, including line breaks, seems to be stripped from the content before you are given the opportunity to select the Pure HTML mode. Preview does not seem to work well at all when editing in View Source, Pure HTML, when it would actually be of the most use.
Line breaks are still disappearing, can't seem to figure out a pattern. Above line break is a "br/ tag" entered in Advanced Editor, View Source, Pure HTML.

As per usual I need a URL of the page on which you're editing and the version of Firefox you're using (why do I have to keep asking for this?). If you're using a beta version of Firefox then you're on your own.

To use the preview tab semi-effectively (as it hasnt been completely finished) you have to exit view source mode.

I keep getting redirected to old threads when clicking on a current thread. Just had one from 2002

"The URL of the page on which I am editing" Well. If I understand what is meant by this, I did provide it. Maybe it couldn't be seen in the middle of that block of text which had all the line feeds removed. https://forums.wincustomize.com/?forumid=168&aid=132305#1024098 Firefox information, latest official release: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7 Listen. I didn't mean to complain or sound like an ass. I'm just reporting what I experience with the idea that more information would help you all the more in your efforts. This is the URL of an actual edit page: http://rabidrobot.wincustomize.com/editComment.aspx?cmd=EditComment&AID=125136&RID=1024843&c=1

Interestingly, that URL^^ did not strip html. When I looked for a URL not based off my personal page, such as https://forums.wincustomize.com/?g=editreply&aid=125136&rid=1024843

it did strip.

Using firefox 1.5.0.7 and following your descriptions of the issues I am unable to reproduce any of that behavior. I'll probably need a specific set of steps to reproduce.

I can't comment on the issue if youre seeing it using editComment.aspx on the main wincustomize site. All I could do is forward the report to another developer (dean).
