Please only use this thread to report your specific technical problems with the new forum here. All other comments will be deleted.

When we have read the posts we will try to add a quick edit message to acknowledge that the fault has been logged which basically means that the guys behind the scenes are on it and looking for a way to fix it!

has anyone tried using Google spellcheck before posting a comment,I lose sight of what I have typed.

Hi- when trying to edit posts I get -

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

***RSPB moderator edit - Editing fault has been logged***

Following on from our profile page not showing when we joined the community, the number of posts we have made has also disappeared. Nor is this info shown when we post, and it usually is shown on most forums

***RSPB moderator edit - your comments have been noted***

I'm not sure whether this a technical issue or not. I'm finding that scrolling down long posts is quite slow and jerky. This wasn't the case with the previous software. My broadband connection is quite fast (20 Mb/s) so that isn't the problem.

I find this an observation more than anything

If you use the quick reply facility on the thread, you can edit the text easily with the edit <pen> next to the report button

If you use the 'Use rich formatting' facility for an edit of your postm an error message appears (as been noted already by other members of this Fourm)

Here's another weird bug. On the home page if you click to see who is online on the second page it changes the forum posts to page 2 as well. It does it vice versa as well. Not that it matters much as the first two pages of forum posts are cluttered with stickies and announcements.

Hi Ian, I have noticed and subquently not been able to access the forums due to this error. From the main RSPB screen you would normally click the 'community' icon at the bottom of the page, however it is still showing that the forum is still down for maintaince. If it wasn't for a lucky click on 'images' of minsmere I would have never been able to access the community, so i guess you could say I used a 'back door' (always wanted to say that in a post, but never been able to,) and here I am.

Thought you should know that this is the case.

Campfield Marsh Reserve Community Page.

To avoid snowing you under with problems on this page, would like to deal with the major one first. Should you be able to solve this issue we can then progress to the other anomalies later.

Major problem: Old Blog Posts do not show images that were included - only a square with a red cross in one corner appears. When this is clicked an error 'HTTP 403 forbidden' message comes up which says that this program was unable to contact website but does not have permission to view the webpage

Another observation on my part - if it had been mentioned already ignore this post.

I assume that all 'up to date postings' are in descending order meaning the latest date and time are sitting on top of the listings of recent threads.

At the present point of time, the latest posts are not in their date and time order at the moment - ie posts created on the 21st and amongst the 20th postings etc...

Times are obscure too - 7pm's are amongst 6am's on the same day.....etc...

Anyone else noticed this at all

This problem is associated with the fact that there are currently at least 2 pages of 'announcements' and 'stickies' above all of the 'normal' threads on the default Community page. Once you get to page 3 where the normal threads start they are in order. The 'announcements' and 'stickies' need a clear out and Ian has said this will be done

Correction. Should read "this program was able to contact website but does not have permission to view the webpage"

I've seen this mentioned elsewhere, but it is a technical problem. 

On the Loch Garten Ospreys blog page, under the heading "The Ospreys" on the right hand side, the links to the osprey biographies are all broken.

Ian,   I have noticed other people are changing their signature to make it stand out as separate to the entry.  I have tried to do this but each time I get an error message saying something like 'unable to validate'.   How can I change my signature to be in italics.

Hi Bob,

You can do this by using the normal formatting codes. For italics, type immediately before the first word (no space) and then immediayely after the last word. (no space) You must use square brackets.  You can also use this if you want it in bold, but change the i to a b.

Hells Bells - sorry Bob. I can't get back to edit it.

What I should have said is type      immediately before the first word. Then type     immediately after the last word.
