Hmm... interesting, I don't know dude. I guess the forum needs to work out the kinks. (LOLCole.

I don't see my signature, or anyone else's for that matter. There's usually a setting that allows you to see/hide signatures, avatars, etc., but I can't find it. If anyone has figured it out, please post. Thanks!

Hmmm... Alt-S doesn't post using this software. Actually have to click a button. What is the world coming to?

Okay, my plaintext signature showed up, cleverly appended to my post with no indication that it's a signature. But maybe that's the idea. It doesn't seem to like my img one, though. I probably need to wait a while for it to update.

Triple post because I can't find the Edit button. Plaintext sig is gone, img sig not apparent. Hmmm.

It appears that I have the power to delete your post Orbert...


Edit... hmm it now went away. Should have edited when I had the chance!

Don't mind double post... edit is not showing up.

Looks like after new posts my awesome powers disappeared.

Also why do none of the threads appear different after I read them? And how do I got to new posts instead of the first page.

Edit option is now gone... Why the hell did I get an email welcoming me to the Lenny Kravitz Mailing list after joining here?

Most of what's described here was a combination of caching and DNS (and a couple of funky javascript things going on). The caching and javascript issues have been fixed and those fixes pushes live. The DNS also appears mostly to have resolved.

The Lenny Kravitz thing was a copypasta on my part followed by an incomplete save of a new file (also on my part). I've fixed that and removed any Dream Theater fans who signed up in the last two days from the Lenny Kravitz list.

I'm sorry, but the forum software here completely blows. No user control panel. No way to see which threads you've posted in. No way to go to the first unread post in a thread. No way to subscribe to threads.

Even Simple Machines is better than this. Why make the move to host discussion forums on your site, then choose some obviously untested, bug-riddled, feature-barren software? There's free software out there with better features than this.

I've found it very difficult to stay logged in unfortunately. Yes, I'm ticking the "remember me for 30 days" checkbox. It's seems quite random too. I've had to log in to post this, but yesterday it remembered me.

Is it because I log in from different computers/devices? Mac at home, Windows7 at work and my Android phone?
