    If you have feedback on the new organization of the forums, post it here, please. We'd like to compact the front page down a bit while making everything nice and logical.

    I can't post in http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?p=330294 It's happened to me twice now (I didn't try again after the first time). On the quick post it just takes forever and doesn't do anything after leaving it for ~10 mins. On the advanced post page it forwards to http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/403.shtml ...

    I was reading a thread, and I thought to myself, "Hmm. This person did a biology experiment." I've done a few biology experiments myself, but I'm typically not the kind of person to share my experiments. However, I think it would be a nice addition to the board.

    Anyone else notice the SFN logo is gone? Nevermind. This is in the announcements, which I rarely look at.

    According to the message that comes up when you hit the "report post" button, the button is not intended to report posts that were posted in the wrong forum. I don´t know how much posts get reported these days but when I still had access to the reported posts forum it wasn´t too much. In fact I have sometimes used the button for that purpose and not yet gotten any negative feedback because of that. Imho, a lot of threads that should be in Speculations stay in the physics sections quite long, even though people reposonding there explicitely state that it was the wrong forum. What about allowing the report post function to be used to report threads that ended up in the wron…

    This isn't a complaint, but if somebody starts a thread on the book discussions, or news forum and it gets rejected, any chance of a PM please...explaining why. I wanted to discuss a book, but it clearly wasn't appropriate...I wasn't sure which mod to contact, not sure how it works, cheers Snail

  8. To the administrator who moved my thread with the same title as above you cannot be a real science forum - just because you lack the insight on the topic raised. This is precisely why USA has a "NAZI" attitude towards physics. I will letting US Pentagon know about your science forum and will be stating for removal of this site from any science forum. You can count on it!!! It is attitudes such as yours as to why US Armed Forces lose all their wars, because scientific truths are hidden from the general public of USA. I don't expect to see this site operating again, and will be reporting you for inspection.

    I've noticed an annoying problem that just started ever since the SFN logo was updated with the falling snow effect. I didn't realize it had anything to do with it until now. But in the edit box, my cursor starts flickering as I scroll the SFN logo into view and completely disappears once it's fully in view. As soon as I scroll it off the screen, my cursor reappears and blinks normally. It's as if the effect is causing "cursor blinkage overload"... Anybody know how to fix that?

    Recently, I (and others) have noticed that SFN is slowing down quite a bit. I've also been having problems with corrupted images - sometimes the smilies show up as something else entirely (like half of a LaTeX image) or they don't show up at all until I hit Ctrl-F5. Is there anything we can do to help this?

    This is an idea that EvoN1020v just gave me. Quite simple, users submit questions and solutions to a forum that requires mod authorisation from the queue. Every week a question is allowed to be posted, and people then have a week to post their suggestions to the queue which are then all authorised when the next question is available. :s The only real problems I can see is getting people to submit them, and the mods time :s

    Some of the most controversial issues lie in environmental sciences which may include global warming, green energy, diminishing natural world resources etc. Why not have a subsection dealing with such issues?

    When you drag a thread to your desktop, which I do for a quick link that I can remember to look at in more detail at another time, it replaces the normal webpage icon with a SFN specific one. However I noticed it changed to this: (the blue is my desktop background) now the icon used to be the atomic SFN logo found in the top left of each page. Wondering why SFN changed to a V I'm guessing it's to do with vBulletin and that this is the default icon for all vB forums. Just thought I'd point it out that has changed!
