The following is a list of issues that we know exist right now and are currently looking into. Possible solutions are being examined , but we do not know when these issues will be fixed as we don’t know yet if they are fixable. We will update this list as the situation warrants.

Mark all as read function on individual forums.
Investigate search optimization.
Remove user Ratings option.
Correcting old post links.
Port 81 issue.
Reverse Post Order new post indicator/jump to new post from topic heading issues.

This is the comprehensive list we are working from at the moment. If you feel there is an important feature or issue that is not on this list please PM me. Do not start additional threads on this topic as sifting through these threads slows down our ability to add new features.

Thanks,

[Mindi]

[Mindi]

The Threaded PM Modification has been backed out of the system. Read receipts should now work again.

[Mindi]

PMs are now fixed and working as they did before-they are no longer threaded.

Read receipts are now working.

Subscriptions to threads are now working.

FYI to clear up a few misconceptions:

The notify moderator button has always worked. It sends an email to the moderator of that forum with a link to the post. It is then up to the Moderators discretion to decide whether or not they think the post falls out of the bounds of what's acceptable.

Moderators have had the ability to move a certain post to another forum such as the moderator forum if they so choose to instead of the whole thread.

VERY IMPORTANT: We will soon be locking down the edit feature as it is now. We will be reinstalling the time limit feature of 6 hours. You will be able to edit a post you make for 6 hours after it is posted. After 6 hours you will no longer be able to edit your post. If you have Posts you would like to fix the incorrect links in, etc. then the time to do it is NOW!
