    I would post a screenshot

    And while we are at it smilies don't work if I just click on them. Is it just because I'm using Safari?

    Azande, try refreshing your cache - from the safari menu

    Re: New Forum Software!

    Noticed a few things...

    Quite often Safari doesn't jump to named anchors (I think this is a bug in Safari) but it seems much worse in the last 10-15 minutes. Going to restart my browser to see if it helps.

    There's no "Send a Private Message..." link in people's profiles anymore.

    Last thing I've just noticed is that there's no "quick reply" button on posts any more. (But the quick-reply box always works!)

    Oh, and maybe this thread now belongs in the feedback forum – I only posted it here as I was testing to see if the new compose stuff was working in Safari yet...

    (Oh yeah, I'm using the default "Ceroc Orange" style. )

    I have good Avatar, but no formatting buttons, tag buttons or smileys.

    That's in Firefox.

    There's an editing mode option which might be responsible for that...

    Thanks for the reports. Anyone having trouble with avatars or smileys should try and clear the cache in their browser (and possibly quit / re-launch it) - I think that Control F5 is the key combination to do this.
    Franck.

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

    No, I see all the buttons and smileys, but clicking on them doesn't do anything. (Mouse cursor doesn't change either as I pass over them, although I do get the hover-text)

    OK, now they all work. Cute new editing options.

    Nice one, Mr F.

    That'll mean then that you're not using an approved browser I guess...

    It's a shame in this new version they forgot about graceful degradation...

    Version 3.5 was only announced yesterday, but I'm sure they'll be getting loads of complaints about this already.

    (Oh, and I don't have a button to do attachments either, at least, not in the "enhanced" editor that I guess we were all just moved to... Might have them back in plain-text world.)

    Nope, still no way to do attachments in the simple text box... Ceroc Orange style.

    Re: New Forum Software!

    What's all the 'extra' bits I'm getting when using quotes from another post < p > sort of thing and how can I switch it off? (Maybe obvious, but I am blonde! And not getting smilies to work either...)
