Nice work, gentlemen. Spiffy fast response, though the Watchlists aren’t working yet (sad, because that’s a function I used a lot). I am particularly appreciative of the fact I can post in HTML directly without having to dink around with the tabs and options.

The only thing I can see that would be particularly useful would be to not just see posts by a user whose ID you click on but threads they’ve replied to as well.

(OK, one more thing because it’s my personal, private obsession … How about RSS feeds from each forum, sub-forum, and post? The first two would blip out whenever the forum/sub-forum saw a post and the last would blip when a post had replies, with full text. My centralization into using Google Reader for everything knows no bounds …)

There's already an RSS feed for every forum and sub-forum. Click on the rss button that is displayed next to each forum.

I experience the same problem. Either it is a very small reply box, or if I click "enlarge editor", it becomes a narrow vertical one. Clicking on "expand editor" does nothing. I can't resize the reply box to the full horizontal layout it used to have. As it is now, editing replies is visually a chore.

Poor Zoomy, going to have your hands full today   

Well, the forum seems to be working for the most part for me now. My problem last night of carriage returns not being accepted seems to be fixed, I believe. However, as has already been mentioned, the text box for replying is very tiny under IE7. I have suspended using IE7 here until this is solved, since it's almost impossible to format a reply.

Also, I just made a quoted reply (using IE7 at the time) to the thread "Fleet Cap & Tax Rate On Huge Maps Needs Fix" in the strategy forum. My portion of the text is fine, but the quoted section combined an earlier quote from before with the text I was quoting. Jambed it together to make it very hard to read. Basically, it took the quoted text that was in the original post, deleted the quote tags, and jambed the poster's text into it, then encapsulated all of it in quote tags.

I tried to edit the post using Firefox 2.0.0.2 and the edit did not take effect immediately. When I refreshed the thread under FF, it still showed my original post. However, if I refresh under IE7, the post is now corrected in both. Sounds like the edit system is just taking a little more time to process now.

Using Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11 and Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2

I can't seem to edit my posts either... it takes the submission but doesn't actually change the post, apparently. Also it still takes me like 45 seconds to post a reply - forum is as slow as ever EDIT: TEST

All the forums pull from the same database. However each product has its own site and it really wouldn't make much sense to merge them. Even less so since that would make the recent posts list a nightmare.

Well, I'm going to confirm Uranium's problem with the edit system. I'm now using the latest version of Firefox, and it's really weird, since the changes I make don't seem to take effect unless I go to the thread in IE7. Then, the changes seem to work in both browsers. @ Uranium - I can see your last post edit before any replies have been made to it. [EDIT] Actually, I think the edit system is just running pretty slow. I just went back to look at my edit I made earlier and it's now showing proper under Firefox, without having viewed it in IE7.

HTML line breaks do still appear to work.

One empty line between these? None between these?

I take back my previous post. The forums still has numerous problems.    Editing isn't working correctly, as everyone else has noticed. In addition, I noticed we *still* can't edit our posts after someone has responded to it. I also see that I can't break my posts into paragraphs -- it's as if the Enter key doesn't work. Please fix this as well! Otherwise we're going to have long rambling posts with no discernible breaks in them.

Yikes, a tiny, non-standard RSS icon that blends into the background of date-static and hides, cunningly, in the upper right corner … and for some reason not getting picked up by the RSS auto-discovery in Firefox. Huh, I wonder why I couldn’t find it!

What browser you using? I'm not having that problem.

The small edit box should be fixed now.  Clear your cache, cookies, temp internet files and reload the forums.
