The forum continually says I don't have permission to edit my post if I take a few moments to write it all out. It once even booted me completely and forced me to log in again. I do not like to be automatically logged out while I'm still typing. In fact, I do not like to be automatically logged out at all.

How long are we talking about here? With the old forums, authorization mismatches were something I got messages about quite a bit.

It could be a cookie error on your part. That doesn't sound like a forum type of thing...

This happened to me until I did an adaware scan on firefox. After the clean, didn't happen to me. I will get logged out of many things, not just this forum. I am not saying this will be your cure but it's something I can help with.

Your emote showed up okay when I hit reply, but it disappeared again when I actually added the post. Weird.

You can still link directly to posts. Just click on the post # in the upper right of any given post. http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1081469-bug-report-thread/page__view__findpost__p__15752171 - I clicked on the #1 of your first post here.

Oh I see it, it's the little #6 there on your post, cute. (for those that don't see it it is the #30 on this post in the upper right.) Ok I will delete that from my list, thanks.

Nice thread Archie! :goodjob:

Thanks Summer! :bowdown: <- this looks funny cause you can no longer see his limbs, so he just looks like he is mooning everyone. :hehe:

[Nathan Risch]

I have no problem opening links in Opera, check your popup setting and stuff. Though the problem Archie describes is present (where all links open in current windows)

You know it's weird, but I did nothing (nothing at all) and it appears to be working fine now.

Every time I try to upload a picture using the "Change Photo" tab in my settings, I get the following error message as soon as I try to hit "Save Changes:"

The upload failed. Please notify an administrator.

I'm using Firefox 3.6, Windows 7 x64. I'm using AdBlock+ but not NoScript, so I don't think my addons should be affecting anything.

*edit* The images I'm tring to upload are within forum bounds (150x150 or less, less than 100kb).

A lot of people seem to be having that problem, I'm sure the devs are aware of it by now. Hopefully they fix it soon, though I would just settle for the picture thread coming back instead.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that profile pics are disabled on purpose since they haven't had them for years. Just like image uploads, people abused then and it was an awful lot of extra work for the moderators to check every account profile for innapropriate or vastly oversized (file size-wise) images.

well profile pics does work, but right now only through facebook

Other than Facebook, it should be the same as before.

[Mason Nevitt]

Can't that be changed? Because with a Facebook image, you can figure out their page and their real name (I sent you a PM describing the details). IMO, that is bad. Plus, why can't we have our own images, especially with the new profiles?

Question about facebook link privacy, people who get to a facebook link through here, how safe are the friends lists? I know that some people want to retain privacy but have a lot of crossover friends on Facebook to here. This is something I acually haven't considered before.

As Nick mentioned to me, all the Facebook Connect does is allow you to:

Update Profile Picture with my Facebook picture
Update Avatar with my Facebook pict
Update Status with my Facebook status
Update "About Me" with my Facebook "About Me"

You could find out my real name by looking at my Facebook profile account, but the same could be said for a non Facebook account. For instance, Nick's account here (before the forum change) is nick_breckon. That leaves little mystery to what his name is. And there's no rule on Facebook that your account name has to be your real name. Nick could name his profile page Nute Gunray if he wanted to.


In most cases, at least at this point, Facebook Connect is any easy way for new members to register. If they're comfortable sharing their real name, that's okay. If they don't want to, they can just create a new account and call themselves Rune Haako.

Then can members upload photos? It kind of svcks that is has to be done that way.

Indeed. And not everyone even has a facebook account. Meaning members with a facebook account get photos whereas members without one do not.

The problem is that most forum users are probably not aware of this. Case in point: Mr. Oblivion was shocked when I told him what he was sharing and immediately wanted it removed.

If they're not aware, how can they know to change their privacy settings or name in the first place? Sure, preparing a dummy account (eg "Rune Haako") protects your privacy, but what if they aren't even aware that there is a risk?

If their privacy settings are pretty loose (and by default on Facebook, they are!), these users are inadvertently giving us a way to find out a LOT of sensitive information about them. Including their name, location, where they go to school, phone numbers (!), friends and much more besides.

Most people are not really aware of that... which makes linking profile images via Facebook a big problem. The system on this new forum actually encourages Facebook image linking, when for security reasons it really needs to discourage it.


At the very least, there needs to be a WARNING!!! message in the user Control Panel, displayed when someone wants to link a Facebook picture. This will at least make people aware.

Something like this:
Warning!
Please note that linking a Facebook picture will make your Facebook ID number (and hence your Facebook profile) accessible to members of the Bethesda Forums. Please check your Facebook privacy settings to ensure you are comfortable with what our Forum's members will have access to. If you are not comfortable with them seeing your Facebook profile at all, please do NOT link a Facebook image.

Found one:

This is on the friend page, some of the infomation is out of line.

[Lisha Boo]

I've done this in the past and I still don't mind but if people want me to host their avatars I will still offer to do that. Sometimes Imageshack or Facebook or other free image hosts makes too long of a URL for the Avatar thing, but that can also be worked around using tinyURL.

Bu if anyone wants me to host their avatar, just send me a PM and I will do that. I just host them in http://members.shaw.ca/nickyart2/Avatars/, but you will get a private URL for your image.

By the way the "send me a PM" link on that page is of course now broken so you will have to do that through the forums. :hehe:

The reply notification mail's subject doesn't always reflect its contents. I've received a couple of messages whose subjects pointed to a thread other than the one in the text.

[Stacyia]

I've just tried to post the following message:

It's either OnEquip or OnActivate that runs.

The O and first A of OnActivate are supossed to be capitalized. They are when editing the post or when quoting the message, but they don't show as such in the post.

[Ally Chimienti]

The post snapback icon has gone AWOL.

yes i had this happen to me today.

i put a new WIP thread and my [WIPz] got turned into [wipz] in the thread title.

They have a new one, see above. :thumbsup:

The code tag seems to be fixed, spaces no longer get lost.

Any ideas on how I can use it in a post ? Earlier, I did this: [sn@pback][/sn@pback]

[Chris Jones]

I'll talk to folks about that. But then again, there really wasnt a mobile version previously. When I used my iPhone today, I could read posts easier than previously....just my opinion.

Make the mobile version work on the PSP. Viewing the non-mobile version on the PSP is a disaster.

First I want to say that I do appreciate the time and effort put into redesigning the forums

Just two things: When I scroll down on the main pages (not in individual threads) it stutters and doesn't scroll smoothly. I use Firefox, latest version.

Also I find the light text on dark background very hard on the eye and I find it difficult to read. I would appreciate it if there could be an option to choose forum styles like before.
