Not sure why the forums are logging you out. Have you tried clearing your browser cache, internet history and cookies? And also when logging in do you tick the keep logged in box?

For the awards, the url should be http://forum.classicamiga.com/forum/awards.php with the/forum/ bit in the middle, which is missing from the one you posted above. Again it might be directing you like that because of old cookies or internet history. It works fine from my end.

And finally, arcade high scores. As mentioned in the home page welcome message, saving of high scores from the arcade is currently broken since the update. This is effecting a lot of people using this arcade component and we are all waiting for someone to find a solution.

I have just emptied the cache using the Tools > Options > Clear offline storage. Will that reset it? (Using Firefox)

Clear Offline storage should clear the cookies and is the most likely cause of the problem.

But if that doesn't fix it, in FF under the Tools menu there is also "Clear Cache" and "Clear Recent History" which might also help.

Bug fixes and updates:

• Member comments left for forum articles were showing up as forum posts in the new posts page. This has now been fixed and they should not show up.
• Amiga mouse cursor is back
• Members without an Avatar are now automatically given a blank default avatar until they add their own custom one.
• Mobile/Retro forum version now fully working and linked from the bottom of the forum, in the footer bar. And also a link back to the full forum is now in the header bar of the Mobile/Retro version of the forums.
• New downloads section installed. Needs to be configured, but once working it will replace the downloads and Vault download areas of the forum, and make it much easier to manage.
• Personal Notepad - available in your Settings page - allows you to make notes and put anything you like here for future reference. This wasn't working with vB4 and was throwing up some php errors. I've now had time to look at the plugin code and have rewritten part of it, so it now works again perfectly, and any members who had notes saved from before the upgrade, your notes should be restored also.

Current Bugs being fixed:

• Arcade scores not saving
• Reply button - current standard behaviour now goes to quick edit box and not straight to advanced edit page. Will look into if possible to change this behaviour.

Current features from the old vB3.8.x version of the site currently missing from the new version (due to incompatibility or the plugin developers no longer supporting them, so no updates):

• Jump Menu - I have contacted someone who has coded a very similar mod and hope he will release his version soon.
• Quotes system - The quotes system we were using for the POTM competition is no longer being supported by its developer, so currently no compatible version exists for vB4.
• Spell Checker - the old spell checker we had built into the forums no longer worked. If there is interest in this I will see if it can be made to work. However, with browsers now having built in spell checkers when creating posts, I don't think we need this any longer.
• Quiz section - A new vB4 compatible version of this software is currently being developed by the original developer of the Inferno Quiz software we were using. Hopefully this will be released soon.
• Triple Triad - A new Triple Triad game has been released for vB4. I will test this out when I get time. Is always fun to have this game available if it works.
• Members Location Map - The old Members Map page isn't compatible with vB4. A new similar plugin is now available, but I need to test this before installing it.

Looking for "forum jump" option which was very helpful.

When replying to a thread, it immediately takes you to the fast reply box, then you have to chose advanced to get to the "normal" replying site. Is it possible when clicking the reply button to be redirected there immediately? Saves one click

The new way the reply button works is a change the cV team made to vB4. I will look to see if this behaviour can be altered. However, the quick edit box does have most of the advanced tools as I upgraded it to include them, so the advanced edit is really only needed when wanted to post polls and attachments mostly.

Forum Jump - the developer of that mod stopped supporting it, and there is currently no version available that worked with vB4. I have contacted someone who is using exactly the same style of Forum Jump menu on their own vB4 site, and they told me they developed and coded it themselves and haven't released it. But I might have now convinced them to turn it into a mod plugin and release it for the community, so you might see a jump menu returning to the site if they do that.

Ok. Anyway, as the forum now is a bit different, you have to get used again to it for a certain time. But so far I really like the look and the changes that were made, will see after some time what could be better, or what is better now. Great job mate

Has anyone else noticed that once you've read through the unread posts, they don't leave the unread posts screen?
[Reply]

That is working fine at my end. Which unread posts screen do you mean? Can you post the url?
[Reply]

I just marked all threads as read, cleared them. Maybe I hadn't looked at all the posts? Who knows!
