Moved a thread with redirect) from general to here https://www.contractoruk.com/forums/...motely-from-uk - and that now says "invalid url".

Cojak had that issue yesterday too (see https://www.contractoruk.com/forums/...here-then.html)

Merging posts doesn't work either - it deletes both...

The whole new forum is one bug. When is the old one coming back?

It's not - but I pointed that out earlier on - the companies that split away from vbulletin have done a better job over the years of keeping things up to date. But this isn't Nick's fault.

You can respond to a closed topic"

Ohhh NF... Put this one to the bottom of the list for now! Got some replying to do.. back soon.

EDIT : Dammit.. should have read the bottom of the post rather than dashing off all giddy like.

The first time you discover there is a problem is when you click "post reply"

I noticed that - I was able to type a response and it was only on hitting submit that I got a "computer says no" pop up

Another weird bug (well 2 actually)

If I look on your (Nick's) profile I can see which posts of yours have been liked on the posts thanks / like tab

If I look at my profile I can't

Also it only seems to show today's likes and has a css issue

Also the latest posts on the front page are wrong

As there are plenty of posts in general yet the most recent one is from over an hour ago and is the last post in the Brexit forum.

The thanks/likes stuff has various problems, at least some related to the fact that the creators of it haven't updated it in forever. I'll give it a thorough overhaul when I have time, as it seems they're busy with other matters so I might as well at least get our install of it working

The front page stuff will be something to do with the weird way they mixed all different kinds of data into one huge database table, then created a really complex Search API to get it back out again divided back into the correct kinds of things
