PROBLEM LIST:

1. The RSS click-links in don't work anymore.

2. Where's the "Favorite topic/thread"? Mine appear to be gone!!!

3. Where's the "Notify on reply" option?

1. Favorites: Absolutely ALL of my old "Favorite Posts" are GONE. Also, none of the links in older posts work, either.

2. RSS Links: None of them work. I use "My Yahoo", and the thread subjects show up on my home page, but when I click on them, I get "HTTP 404 - File not found".

1. Favorites. OK, favorites doesn't work. And so I shouldn't expect it work for the next upgrade, either. So much for using the favorites function anymore.

2. Older post links: The problem is not MY links/bookmarks, but that a LOT of threads have references to others. You're telling me that ALL older posts with references in their answer are now USELESS.

These should have been requirements, like keeping a patient alive during surgery, they are not rocket science and certainly are possible. Should have hired a smarter programmer...or a better analyst.

3. RSS links: I'm just not getting your question. I've been using RSS for months, I just click the link and it takes me to the thread. Now, I get a "404". What more is there to say? The main ones I look at are: "Jose's Corner", "Metastock Formulae", "Metastock Tips and Tricks".

TWO NEW PROBLEMS:

4. The "remember me" function on sign-in, doesn't. At least, not overnight.

5. Sometimes, the PageUp/PageDown and Arrow keys don't work. Other IE windows are OK, as are other programs (Excel, Metastock, Word). I usually use the scrollmouse, but when I want the keyboard, those are the keys I use. Something is eating keystrokes...and only in the window open to the Equis Forum.

Keypad failure: Click the FAVORITES button, do NOT select anything from the drop down, then click on some text in a post. Your keypad keys will no longer work.

RSS Links. They've been on my "My Yahoo" home page for months. Since the new forum, they don't work. I can't make it any plainer than that, sorry. I'll remove them, then re-add and see what happens.

FWIW -- Put this idea on the back burner: If you get enough complaints on the "broken link" feature, instead of fixing "15,000 dead links", my suggestion is to generate a cross-reference and run a search & replace on textbody. I've done similar work on larger data stores than this; it's not that big a job.

If that's too much "attitude" for you, just say so, and I'll forward future customer "complaints" to my Metastock Sales Representive, rather than bring them up in the forum.

Thank you for submitting some details. The thing is that I cannot fix something if I don't understand it. If I'm dense, then you'll just have to break it down.

This, I can duplicate. I'll see if I can find out more, but it seems to me that the focus is being stolen. For now, if you click on the vertical scrollbar on the right side of the screen, you can scroll again using the keys.

The old RSS links will not work. They were broadcasting updates to the php forum. You can re-establish RSS feeds by using any of the RSS buttons found here on CS. If that still doesn't work for you, I'll need more details. Your browser type, OS, and step-by-step details of what you're doing.

I believe that we may be able to "trick" CS into taking you to the right place. This will require remapping post ID's in the database and creating a custom 404 error page redirect. A solution is being sought after, but no promises.

You are always welcome to forward any complaints directly to Equis.

I don't want to miss this problem, but not matter what I do, I can't duplicate it. Whenever I go to Unread Posts (http://forum.equis.com/forums/TopicsNotRead.aspx) and select the Mark All Read (all Forums), the the same page reloads and the screen updates to show that there are new unread messages left to view. No posts are skipped, it deletes them all. Can you confirm that you still have the problem if you login using IE or FF?

This is something that I can change for sure. In fact, there are several server email messages that need to be reformatted. If you get any other weirdly formatted emails, please let me know. I'll fix this shortly. Of course, this might throw off any email rule handling that you may have in place. Make sure you check on that if needed.
