Every screenshot is duplicated.

If you use the wrong words it is hard to even say what your issues is.

What I see:
1. No screenshot is "duplicated".
2. Actually the screenshot images are shown both inline and in the attachments part of the post.

It hsould be only one or the other.

The images are shown twice, regardless of the mechanism. In other words, duplicated.

Am not seeing duplicates, could it be a specific browser or browser settings causing duplicates?

I attached how it looks:

As you can see, the Image is displayed both inline and in the Attachment section of the post.

Just to be clear feedback is welcome but you need to be constructive. If you don't like it you have to be specific about what you don't like. Unconstructive feedback will be ignored and deleted.

I don't like that it looks like a wall of text. I don't like that I can't find the few forums I'm subscribed to but instead have to look through said wall of text to find them.

Overall new forum is a flop IMHO

Two more issues:
* Font size or typeface makes reading this forum painful - never had issue with old forum font
* Where are my forums lists? There're not under quick linls - where are they?

No doubt reading the forum is painful now.

Also the weird light bluish-grey/grey background, blue colored fonts...etc.
I have multiple devices that I have used to view this new iteration of the forum: Cellphone, Tablet, various Computers (I have a lot to choose from) including viewing on a 40'' monitor with my Desktop. Currently typing this comment on a laptop with a 19 inch screen...and man my poor eyes hurt after 5 minutes!

One other thing, and others have mention this as have I. My saved messages are still not available since Feb 22, 2022...yet it says I have 50 stored. I have been in collaboration with modders in the Strategic Command ecosystem. All of these messages were contemporaneous notes sent (and recieved) while these mods are under development. Mind you, we have other communication modes, including email, phone, etc..but the unavailability to review these exchanges has had us retrack over supposed finished ground.

Anyways..the 'lost mail' business, well, we are moving on without them. The aesthetic of this forum, though, leaves much to be desired in my opinion also.
I posted even with the hazard warning I read earlier that this comment maybe ignored or deleted.

[Erik Rutins]

I'm hearing you all on the style and font stuff. It's unfortunate this wasn't heard as clearly during the one month plus of forum preview.

The old PMs should be returning this week.

[Curtis Lemay]

The link in my signature shows the code, unlike on the old site.

And now it is fixed! (See my signature now).

[Curtis Lemay]

However, while the {lnk] code may be fixed, the [center] code is still not being recognized. See the top of this post:

That wierd logout is still happening. Just to make sure you got a proper writeup, it goes like this:

1. You need a time of inactivity. It seems like it needs to be > 1 hour.
2. You request a page. For this page, the Sessions is still valid. You get the full page deliverd - down to the Notifications.
3. After that Page on Step 2 is delivered, the Session becomes invalid.
4. Further requests happen without a valid session.

It is possible to add likes like on this forum?
https://forum.overclockers.ua/viewtopic ... tart=10160

both forums are using same base I suppose.

Would be really useful.

P.S
Only logged in users can see likes there, here how it looks:

Just for the record, I just had a "SQL" error while posting. Appearance was much like the old 504 error. However, the post was still made successfully.

Okay, a addition to the wierdness:
You are not logged out if the inactivity is long enough.

Having no activity for longer periods - for say having 8 hours of sleep - does not log you out or invalidate the session on access.

I am having issues posting Attachments, again. Specifically a savefile for Distance Worlds 2, zipped.

I am tryin to attach it to this post as well.

Edit: Did a relog. issue persists.
The only recent thing I did was starting a Poll.

[zgrssd]

Okay, I did manage to post one attachment. But that did not fix the issue. Apparently that one was a exception, while the rule is still failure.

[Erik Rutins]

The migration of old PMs across to the new forum should now be completed.

[BBfanboy]

Yes! My PMs are now present. Thank you and your team!

Well, I spoke too soon. While it was fixed for that one thread I listed, it remained broke for all other instances. See these threads:
