    As for the issue, David, could you describe how you use the 'quick reply' feature, do you click on "Reply", on "Reply with Quote" or do you just click in the quick reply box and type a reply?
    This is reply with quote.... and that gets the problem; first a "are you sure you want to navigate away from this page" prompt from the browser, then I press OK, then it comes up with that "duplicate post" message...

    I quickly checked your settings and edited your usergroup settings, which might have caused the issue. Could you test it again?
    Franck.

    There's an A.P.P. for that!

    I agree - I do like Facebook and use it a lot, but while its great for photos, passing comments on other's comments or status, its limited for discussion.

    Just curious as to how the upgrade links with Facebook and what happens if you link your Facebook account?

    Not very much happens when you link the accounts
    It will ask you to authorize the forum to access your basic info on Facebook and will give you the option to import a few details from your 'info' page on Facebook (interests, date of birth, that kind of things).

    The main difference, is that from that point on, you will be able to publish to Facebook any reply or any thread you start. This will appear on your wall (only if you tick the box each time). You will also be able to 'like' a thread, and this will show on your wall. You will also see '5 of your friends' like this thread message next to the posts.

    On your Facebook wall, people will see a short summary of the post you liked with a link to the Forum.
    New members will also be able to register by using their Facebook account to fill out most of the info.

    To give you an idea of how it looks, I have ticked the 'Publish to Facebook' box for this reply, and you should be able to see the post on my Wall on Facebook.
    Franck.

    There's an A.P.P. for that!

    Yes, and that came up in my newsfeed and I was able to follow the link back to here. Thanks for the explanation.

    I can't seem to get the like button to work though, it just flashes that I like it and then goes back to 'be the first of your friends to like this'...

    From another thread, but I think it's relevant here.

    It is displayed at the bottom of the poll
    I think it's adverts. For some reason they don't get blocked all the time, even for Silver members. For me it's OK in Firefox but I get the ads in Internet Explorer.

    I don't know what you have done but it works for me at work

    I'm offline at home at the moment but hopefully that will be ok as well - thanks

    Very odd, for some reason, the 1 year achievement was set at 3 months
    I've reset the calculations, so hopefully will be more accurate now. You should get back your Award next April...

    There's an A.P.P. for that!

    I get a problem with the Google Plus links.

    Work blocks these, but the browser Back button then has a list of Google Plus links (one per unread post I think) that Ihave to work your way Back through to get to the actual previous page.

    Re: Forum Major upgrade!

    It's got to the point that I can no longer view the Forum at home.

    Each page takes so long to finish downloading that I never actually get to see the latest posting - my patience isn't too bad but even I'm not going to wait THAT long!

    Not sure how long it's going to be before work notices but if I suddenly stop posti

    I have the same problem with my boyfriend's computer. Turning off JavaScript to stop the chat widget from loading helps, but it's still slow and you lose some of the other functionality as wel.

    Is the "Publish to Facebook" still working?

    I tried it (from two different browsers) and it just hangs there without posting.
