The Only One?

[Johnny Reefer]

Am I the only one who is having problems with the new board?

I go to make a post in a thread titled "skimmers", in Newbie Creation, after doing a search.
Click submit reply and a message comes up that was so quick to disappear that i could read only the first 7 or 8 words of it.
It said, "Thank you for posting. A moderator will......." or something to that effect. Like I said, the message was so quick I couldn't read it. It was there and then quick as a wink it was gone.
So I check the thread. Yep. No post.
I don't know if it's me or my browser or my machine or CanReef (edit: the board) or what.
But I'm kinda starting to lose a tad bit of patience.
And I'm quite certain I wasn't on for any longerv than 15 minutes this time and I wasn't told I was logged out so I don't know what's goin' on.
Anyone else gettin' similar grief?

Thanx much,

[Jason McK]

Mark,

Can't say I've had any problems with the board at all. I usually post quick replys so I'm trying "Reply to thread" with this post, let see if it works

What's the advantage to Quick Reply?

[scuglass]

i think it said this will be viewed by a mod before being posted in the newbi forum cause there were problems before the change with questions being asked in that section when the mods asked only facts go in that section. this is said in the newbie forum description

"Posts will be verified by Staff before being displayed"

just a thought

The Newbie Forum was always supposed to be a place for articles for newbies, not a place for newbies to ask questions. If you have a question to ask, the Reef Forum is probably the best place as you'll get more views there. We've left the Newbie Forum open as anyone who would like to write an article or give an overview on a topic or information to newbies can post in there and then the moderators can decide whether the info is pertinent.

Well an advantage to quick reply is that you don't have to wait for the "reply" page to load, you can complete your typing at the bottom of the page

Ya. That makes sense.
So I guess if that's the case then just starting a new thread in Product Reviews forum would be the way to go.

Titus and the Mods: That message that comes up saying, whatever, is way too fast and can't possibly be read in the time that it shows on the screen. It's gone in a second or two. (At least in my case here it did). If I had time to read it, and it said what Scuglass is suggesting it said, I very well may not have gone off on this little rant.

It's just not much seems to be goin' right with this board for me, lately.

I come home after workin' a 12 hour day...wantin' ta make a little post or two and then grief.

Password isn't remembered.
Getting timed out and losing posts.
Now this, today.

Best to just take a break from it for awhile, I suppose.

See ya in a few days.

Cheers,

I have no once had the quick reply button work properly for me, it just has the same outcome as pushing the quote button.

Hello,

Yeah I know you have been having problems and thanks for being patience with us. For the password problem please cope with it for now. And for the page refresh issue, it wouldn't be a problem in the future because you know that it was just saying that the post will be reviewed.

Thanx for your reply.
I'm going to go to my LCS (Local Computer Store) next week when I have some free time and chin wag with them about Password Manager and see if that might solve the password mystery.

Cheers,
