I've only been getting 25 posts when I do a "New Posts", starting yesterday I believe. I looked in the User CP for a setting limiting the number of returns but didn't see anything. Has New Posts been changed?

Thanks for the info. I must say I really liked being able to come to the forum and just browsing thru new posts as there are just too many boards to hunt thru manually. Now I visit 2-3 boards and leave.

Also, don't be quick to close a post because someone didn't search as with only 25 results they may well not find what they were looking for.

For the record:
in·ane (ĭn-ān') pronunciation
adj., -an·er, -an·est.
One that lacks sense or substance: interrupting with inane comments; angry with my inane roommate.
http://www.answers.com/inane&r=67

So it's correct the inane

is it just me or do more people not see some images where others do?

Perhaps something is not supporting/supported by FireFox?

I see there should be an image when I quote the text, but I don't see it show up.

Hi. I'm sorry, I'm in a rush, so don't have time to read through all four pages. Someone may have mentioned these already, so please disregard my post if you area already aware of them.

I'm having two bugs in the new auction section. Firstly, it will not remember my login. I select remember me every single time I log in out of habit and it never remembers. Before you ask, no, I do not have cookies disabled or anything like that. I should, but, I got sick of having to deal with non-functioning or partially broken sites or having to physically choose whether or not to accept each and every single one of the thousands of cookies that I have to go through. Cookies are 100% enabled even with invalid addresses and such, and are accepted from third parties because a few sites still broke even if I disabled that.

I'm thinking the cookie problem may be browser related. I think I've had troubles with a forum once not remembering my login simply because I was using Opera. They used some kind of setting that expected to see certain browser IDs and when they didn't get it they failed to function or something. Mind you, I haven't had that problem again until the auction section of this site. I might add that the forums here remember my seperate login without a hitch.

Also, I've noticed the system allows duplications of many things. I guess if you accidentally double click or something. For example, I made the mistake of hitting back after modifying an auction to modify a bit more (it keeps messing me up that even if I put in no HTML code I still have to put in the break tags to put text on seperate lines) and it made a duplicate of my auction. Right down to the part where it had just under 11 hours left. Also, one person gave me feedback and I'm guessing they double clicked submit or something because I have a duplicate of their feedback, giving me two points when, to be honest, I really should only have one. I'd say please take your time fixing that one, but, realistically speaking, some people out there may end up receiving a duplicate of a negative value (I plan to never receive even a first one, but, you never know with some people.)

I think using some kind of unique ID code on things that could cause duplicates would solve this problem. For example, when modifying the auction, all you have to do is include a check for the auction ID tag. If the browser shows the same tag, then the user didn't intend to create a new auction but obviously to edit the old one. Same general idea goes for user reviews. I'm thinking you could just simply take the user id of the user who's posting the review, and then stick the auction ID tag of the auction they are reviewing from at the end. Presto, you have a unique ID specific to that one review.

EDIT: Oops, I forgot before, but, most importantly of all, there are some serious annoyances. Such as when attempting to edit your auction. Several fields loose their values to incorrect ones, and the description field actually dissapears. Nearly every edit requires TWO edits because the description dissapears and you have to fix it. The bid increment field blanks, and the reserve and buy now prices loose all but the first digit (changing the entire SCALE of the auction. Soemone's at risk of selling some uber-expensive item for, say 1g because of this sort of thing if someone pounces fast enough to catch such a bug before the seller could.)

BTW, the forum just forgot my login too. Could be the cookies are set to expire relatively quickly? I don't know what they are set to so couldn't say. It seems to remember me for a while, so that may not be a bug, just checking. Oh, and the auction pages aren't forgetting me due to expired cookies because it's basically session only requiring me to log in every single new session whether or not it's been any amount of time (once I closed that tab, realized I forgot something, opened a new one, and found I had to log back in during the two seconds it took me to do that.)

Minor bugs aside, I must say that this whole ebay-style auction thing is a very neat idea and an invaluable tool -- especially in the long run once it builds up enough users for us all to buy and sell more easily. Thank you for giving us such a tool.

Minor bug on the forums, tried searching if anyone mentioned this before but..

Go any subforum, say Offtopic for example, and hop to the end of the page, where are the post icons explained.

says that " You have posted in this thread ", when the correct icon would be

I did a search but couldn't find a match for this issue. My top right message section reads:

No, I don't have that many unread messages. Tried clearing the cookies... didn't help.

Don't forget the possibility of typos or deleted characters. For example, when I signed up, I had one character only. Later I bought an item and by then I had deleted that one and made a new one, but, I forgot to update my profile. Thus the seller was unable to find me for a day or two. Well, you can always try contacting them via e-mail, but, I find that a lot of legitimate people even don't respond to some of my e-mails. Anyway, just don't forget the possibility of a legitimate mistake before assuming the worst. There are indeed people who fake buying or selling or who bid on items they can't afford (or even bid on something they can, but, then bid on something else, thus no longer being able to afford the first.)

I had that happen a couple of times myself and had to write them email. Ended up that they were typos. Once I got the correct name the trade went smooth as glass

Whole site is broken on IE7.

I've attached image, which is zoomed out to 50% size, to show what is happening. There seems to be extra column which messes with the tables and moves content-column to right.

Seems IE7 isn't standard compliant. Go figure MS makes something that doesn't follow the industry standard. Easy fix, don't use IE 7 (sorry couldn't resist)

The whole supporting a new browser is annoying, then having to get a design working in a new browser while still working in the old ones, ughh what a headache. I'm letting time pass and for the final version to come out before I look into fixing the site design on the new IE.

I tend to run Firefox for my primary browser. only with GWGuru, sometimes Firefox crashes and I recieve the following message: "Shockwave pluggin performened an illegal operation. Firefox needs to close." i don;t know if this is browser instability with something in Guru or if this is something in Gurur messing with the browser, but its getting a little annoying when I watch one of my replies (one of my longer winded replies) disappear with my browser.

Anyone heard of this yet? If not it needs addressing. ty
