SamBridge Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/bugs.html/_/ip-board/delete-first-row-in-quote-r40935 I don't get exactly what he did to fix it (apparently), it looked like in both tries he did the same thing, he deleted the upper text, yet in the second try the box didn't disappear. I didn't drag the selection to past the first letter, yet it still disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringJunky Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) If you backspace exactly to the beginning of the first sentence without overshooting you keep the box. Probably the quickest way I've found is put your cursor in front of the first sentence and press Enter so it pushes it down to the next line then highlight and delete the sentence as normal. Edit: Just noticed if you place the cursor after doing the above back in the top row and press Delete the box will disappear. It would seem the code for the box is embedded invisibly on that line.

Nope I did it exactly from start to finish of the first sentance still no box. Edited February 5, 2013 by SamBridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringJunky Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 ... Put three dots or something at the beginning of the first sentence to act as a placeholder before you delete the first sentence is one way you could do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genecks Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Ditto on things running slow. I've noticed at times things turn into code right in front of my face. I'm not sure if that is some aspect of the server or if I'm in the Matrix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Has anyone noticed any server trouble lately? It seems that some pages load really slowly, but I am not sure if this is a problem on my end of the line, or on the server side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that some pages load really slowly, but I am not sure if this is a problem on my end of the line, or on the server side. No not really from my POV. It seems to me it's getting slow when cross-posting happens. But that's maybe me, I don't use up-to-date machines and my connection(s) is (are) slow. That's a side effect of economic crisis in Greece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACG52 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) We've also lost the 'view last post' buttons. Yea upgrades. Edited July 1, 2013 by ACG52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D H Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 We've also lost the 'view last post' buttons. Yea upgrades. There is a way around this problem (so long as you can get past the "SFN is offline briefly for an upgrade to the latest forum software and should be back online at around 10:20am GMT" problem). As you move your mouse from post description to post description in the new content view, you should see a gray circle that contains a small downarrow that moves up and down with your mouse. That circle is between the thread title and reply count fields. Move your mouse over that circle. The background should switch from gray to black. Click on it. This expands the description of the thread. You'll see a summary of the opening post, the first unread post, and the last post. Click on one of those and you'll be able to go to the selected post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACG52 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) You can just go to the far right and click on today, which will give you the last post, but not the next post you haven't read yet. We've also lost the symbol which says you've posted in this thread. Edited July 1, 2013 by ACG52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hi guys, my apologies for the issues. Unfortunately there were some critical security updates which needed to be applied, otherwise I would have notified in advance of the updates. Combined with a few family issues over the last 24 hours this hasn't been as smooth as I would have liked.Hopefully the offline message is now sorted (a bit of a web server issue). I'm working on correcting the rest of the issues and will have an update for you later on this evening. Update: Okay, I've pushed a few buttons and the style issues seem to be resolved. But if anyone still has problems, let us know - just be sure to do a refresh or two first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACG52 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) I've refreshed several times, but don't see the reputation buttons. Ah, now I see them. And now I don't. Edited July 1, 2013 by ACG52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
