1. Text copied from a post you're replying to isn't correctly formatted in the archives.
2. Making a reply doesn't seem to allow quoting a previous post, except by cut and paste
3. Search engine. Still misses things. I tried two obscure terms, "Rottingdean" and "Steyning" which both occur in the thread "Inspiration from Brighton":
http://prelive.photoanswers.co.uk/Community-Landing/Forum-Landing/Forum-Categories/Topic/?&topic-id=19227
with no results found. I tried other words first, and then went to this thread as having some place names that I doubted occurred anywhere else.
4.The need to retype thread names.
I have made a post now, and there were a couple of points that came from that. First, that I had to retype the thread name. That's a new requirement that adds to the effort of replying. We could always change the heading, so I suppose that this forces people to consider whether they want to change it, to make it clear who the reply is to. But I think that there will be adverse comment about a backward step.
5. No spelling checker. The other point is that one of the complaints that has been going since the year dot is the lack of an English spelling checker. At the moment, there seems to be none at all, which is bad news for me since I rely on the checker to pick up typos. Is this one of the "coming later" features?
6. I don't seem to be able to edit my own post.Amplification. This is a browser issue. Using Opera as the browser, I can edit other people's posts, but not my own. Using Firefox, I am able to edit my own posts. By not being able to edit, I mean specifically that the edit box comes up with no text, and in blue. A screen shot has been emailed.
7. Listing
the forum members; it would be good to be able to jump directly to a
letter, rather than having to scroll through. In my case, I was
interested to see who had bagged the user name that I would have
preferred to use, and it took a fair degree of scrolling. Using the
search button picked up all usernames that contained the character I
typed in, which is not quite the same thing.
8. Posted "1 minutes" ago? It may disappear quickly with the passage of a few seconds, but I dislike this sloppy programming.
9. Under the column of mods, there's a "Meet them all" link, which appears to perform a search function returning no results.
10. See point 3 above for text spilling out of the box. This spill occurs in Firefox, but displays correctly in Opera.
11. Looking at the "Latest posts" tab, I found myself in "Forums>ClubForums>Archives" but I can't find that from the "Forum" page. OK, found that. It's the Gallery, But the "Latest posts" button gets me to the text of the comment, with no way that I've yet found to get to the photo directly.
12. The "Browse by" sidebar on the left seems erratic. When used from anywhere other than the top level "Forum", it seems to return no results at all, for any of the possible "Date Topic Created" or "Most Recent Reply". Even used from the top level with Firefox, this thread doesn't show up.
13. The Gallery. I can't find any way of editing the "Photographer's Comments" once posted. I have now, but going via my profile.
14. It's tantalising seeing how many other users are currently online, but being nosey, I'd like to know who they are (some forums show this, although give individuals the choice of remaining anonymous).
15. I have an inbox, but no visible outbox to hold what I've written to others. It can sometimes be useful to have this available.
