I believe post count increments are fixed, if so I'll have 12123 after posting this. Edit: works. The remaining known bug is that the instant messaging system has messages out of order sometimes.

It didn't seem to fix my counter; regenerated myself again, seeing if this post brings my count to 504. EDIT: nice, it's working. Regenerated aletheist again; let's see if it goes up from 277 on its own.

The IM does not reload itself, so when talking new messages only come up if you click on the "send this person an IM" button again.

The fancy editor seems to eat my paragraphing. (It must be a goat) But I can restore it on the edit function, which seems to switch to plain editor without asking, and shows me the formatting code. This is the third paragraph of this post. Edit: Well that's odd; it didn't do it that time. I wonder if it's because I didn't get to the end of a line?

Doesn't happen here, but it definitely happened on this thread.

I clicked on "Save draft" of a PM, but it sent it instead. (Fortunately I edit in longhand. . . .)

One thing I've always wondered about are the links to threads. http://forums.philosophyforums.com...s/bug-reports-27445-8.html It seems to me that the -8 indicates the page of the thread that is being linked. In Unelightened's recent example, http://forums.philosophyforums.com...rchangibility-35122-2.html, there is a -2. When I click the link, I go to a page that has no posts but does have the rest of the page feautures including the ability to post a reply. The same thing happens when I click the last post button that you have when browing the forum directories. My guess is that the link is specific to the particular page request and that different default settings result in a page number being pulled according to the requestor's settings rather than the settings of the person who pulled the link. Since I display 30 posts per page, if someone else displays 15 posts per page and links to the 25th post on their page two, I wind up looking at a blank -2 page. Is this something you've known about and/or tried to fix? P.S. Sorry for the terrible technical vocabulary.

I am as free and fluid as the existence I am bound by.
