Hiya,

all people working on forum code modifications - please take care not to reset everyone's settings each week? So far, I've had to reset my view style on average once or twice a week, as well as re-edit my profile because it lost my avatar and other settings.

<edit>Actually, just found out something different - there is no way to "keep" the avatar you had set up when you change your forum settings - there are two radio boxes, one for "no avatar" one for "use uploaded avatar" with a file select box next to it - however, you have to either point that second one at your avatar on every update (and hence, re-upload it each time, generating unnecessary bandwidth waste) or it just gets reset to "none" as soon as you hit "update info". Not a good thing in my book.</edit>

Shouldn't be strictly necessary to do this - if you're coding features that supersede (not extend) old features, please make sure you code an initial import vector so old settings get "translated", if you could...

However, let me thank whoever coded "jump to first new post automatically" in the forum preferences...been looking for that here for a while now ;o)

Thanks,
Simon.

I’m pretty sure that’s been there at least since I first configured my preferences, last December.

I must be blind then, because last time I looked, it wasn't in my prefs...

Anyway, still would be nice if new forum code didn't continually break old settings ;o)

Regards,
Simon.

It has been there for a very long time, but not quite certain how long.

I suppose approx. 1 3/4 years or even more.

Not to sound ungrateful for your corrections, but the original post topic was quite different than "has this feature been there" - in fact I thanked whoever coded it.

Could we get back to the real issue I posted about originally please?

Regards,
Simon.

All I can say is my forum preferences, avatar, etc. all have stayed throughout all the coding changes. I never lost a setting.

I don't really know what is going on. I have lost my settings once, and others have reported multiple losses.

You have the chance of losing something if you change something in your forum prefs. Even the filter listing doesn't sort in numerical order when you add someone.

I lost my avitar on 4 of the projects I,m with today, including here. Don't know what made the other 3 projects immune.

And God said"Let there be light."But then the program crashed because he was trying to access the 'light' property of a NULL universe pointer.

Well the one with the face was a bit weird. ;)

These forum changes are being implemented at other BOINC projects...I recently had to reset my preferences at Einstein,

PROUD TO BE TFFE!

This (avatars) is a known issue with the new forum code. A correction should be upcomming shortly (this week).

Can anyone change their forum prefs?

Not that there's a need for it right now, but I get the same as well. With the others over in the Café it seems to be clear by now that it's some server side error.

OMG!!!!! I hope they fix this soon. I have 452 wus about to run past the deadline. How can they allow this to happen????

[edit]OOPs....nevermind, wrong server problem. That's the message I post the very second the other servers go down.





I know someone out there will "get it" when it comes to my humour.
