hi! i'm unsure if this is related to the recent forum maintenance ... however, i'd just like to share that i've been getting this quite frequently:

... would this have anything to do with idle time? thanks! ;)

Fixed, and clear your cache

Issue: Some Personal Profile tabs not functioning/loading properly.

Recreation: Click your username and browse your profile. Click Comments, Friends or Settings tabs and the content will not load.

Issue: People formerly on your allow list are now under the block list. PM Block list upgrade error.

Solution:

If you've already converted the friends, just delete the entries in ibf_contacts who have allow_msg set to 1

Opera 9.02 here.

Don't know if these are by design, but I'll mention them anyway...

1) The regular smiling smiley doesn't appear on the first selection; are they ordered by use?

2) When clicking a smiley, it gets added into the post but it's highlighted, meaning that if I continue to type the smiley is erased again

3) I can't download attachments when I'm not logged in

Two members complained the file they had attached were missing.

Just go on any forum and find a topic with the small paper clip left to its name. Click on it : list is empty.

This is still not working here. It might be the OS. Both computers I tried this on are running Windows XP w/SP2, ff version 2.0.0.1. Maybe something broke in ff 2.0.0.1?

EDIT: I just tried this in FF2.0 and it works. Looks like Mozilla broke something in 2.0.0.1.

Edited by the_guy

Someone couldn't log in or get to any of MSFN's pages other than the main page starting early yesterday and they are guessing it is when you were installing the new version. Anyway, they created a new account and found this thread. So they went and tried to log into their old account after clearing their cache and managed to get into the forum with no problems. So if you see a new an acount with the username of 'newname', you can delete him because he is a retard. But I don't know him personally.
