How come other blogs on the SBC nation that I am a member of, with the same user name and password that I use on AN, don't show up on my user profile?

After I click a link in a post, then hit the BACK button on my IE browser, I'm returned to the top of the post instead of the comment I was at previously. This requires me to scroll back down to where I was before so I can then resume reading the rest of the comments. Can that be remedied to how it was on AN 2.0, when hitting the BACK button always took me back to where I was in the body of that particular post?

Are you sure # 5 works?

PS I like # 10. That is a good improvement.

I currently have a rather large gap of empty space between the recent post and fan post sections on the right hand side. Is there a way to close this gap?

I'm viewing the page on Windows XP using Firefox 2.0.0.12 at a 1024x768 resolution.

I'm not getting the "When you tab to a comment with the 'c' key you will know because the line at the top will get darker." All the new comments look the same (and they stay yellow, which is great), but I can't tell which particular one I've c-tabbed to.

I'm in Firefox in Mac OSX; will try on the PC laptop later on.

Also, another bug: I'm playing with new avatars, and when I switch a second time, it seems to freak out the appearance of the avatar next to my diary on the rec'd list, and (for me at least) it just shows the file name of the one I just switched from. Tiny, not very significant bug.

The most commented boxes don't really seem useful or necessary JMO.

but what was the answer again to these two questions?
1. Why do they show the record of our votes on polls? That seems like it should be kept private.
2. Will they be putting a list of people who have recommended diaries back as a feature?

to bring me some pizza and beer during games? KTHX

either by commenter or by content? We used to be able to search all of our own old comments by hand-entering numbers in the URL window at the top of the browser. Is there any equivalent planned for AN 3.0?

The list of fanposts is not updating how many new comments there are in a consistent fashion whn I refresh. For instance this thread showed no new posts but when I clicked on it it said one new post. I have noticed that in other threads too.

The comment type is smaller than I like too.

Using windows.

is working for me now ...but I don't like that when I use the X feature it then spins me to the top of the page...would prefer to have the comment delete and be left exactly where I am on the page.

is totally awesome! I'm very very happy with this.

For me (Safari v3.0.4) it works exactly as you describe it, and it's exactly what I wanted.

Just to give you another platform specific data point, everything works really well for me in Firefox 1.0.7 for Red Hat.

the right sidebar on IE 6 is again below the screen. Possibly because a video has finally been posted.

No idea if this is a widespread problem or a one-off (or if someone's already called it out), but this old diary/fanpost seems to have lost the poll that was attached to it.

getting the Poppy feature back to posting regularly. I miss it(her).

My X feature inexplicably is now working for the last 5 post I tried using it on.

But another glitch is showing up. Sometimes when I go to look at a new comment and it is the last one in the thread part of the comment is obscured by the reply box.

When I look at "recent activity" in my profile, I see a list of comments I've recommended. Okay. When I click on what I think should be a link to the particular recommended comment (which is the comment's subject line), it takes me to a page that says:

The page you were looking for doesn't exist.

You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved.

.... you're going to have to put a FAQ on this. It's getting kind of complicated.

Is there a way, or going to be a way, to mark ALL comments in a thread read once you read them?

Testing....

Matthew over on LL has some suggestions I agree with. bring back [new], no mandatory previews. Game threads are designed for rapid comments, and people failing to preview their comments has never led to stupidity or problems in the past. At least not on LL

For the love of god and my iPhone--please don't attach avatars to comments! This isn't 1998, the internet isn't new, we don't need this.

people failing to preview their comments has never led to stupidity or problems in the past. At least not on LL

I beg to differ.

Anyway, while not perfect, this is a hell of a lot better than it was. I agree, nuke the avatars, get rid of the maditory preview screen, and retain the {new} label.

is that this format doesn't support widescreen monitors well. I'm running 1280 x 720 (?) and the comments seem horribly cramped and it's a bit hard to discern between the nested replies.

but not a bug report.
Clockwork ,Lovitt and Co. :
The old AN had some bugs too. A lot of times new comments stayed forever, and it was hard to make them Un-new. Your new system is much better and now that my comp is allowing the key feature to work properly I am enjoying using the keys. It's fun.

there's no cancel button when you're writing a new comment.

If it's a reply, the cancel button is there, but for a fresh comment it's not. Is this intentional, or just an oversight which will be fixed later?

because I can't seem to stay logged in and it's driving me batty. And then when I do log in it sends me to the SBnation homepage rather than keeping me on AN.

I can't seem to figure it out. For example, JL's comment @ Feb 18, 2008 4:35 PM PST doesn't have a subject line, and I can't open it. clockwerks responded to it ("have you tried the 'c' key?"), so obviously it's possible.

What gives?

When I claimed my Golden State of Mind ID, it dragged over my "signature" contents to AN which resulted in me leaving a pile of black and white donuts on a comment I made in a DLD.

On GSoM most people have pictures (which apparently is so 1998) as part of their sig-lines. I didn't mentally register the link to the picture until it was posted. After I removed the link from my profile, the picture stayed in that comment (which is unlike the old default behavior).

In the old AN, when I'd create a link in a post I could check to see that it worked under preview and afterword hit the BACK button which would return me to my previewed comment where I could then add more comments, links, etc., or make edits or go ahead and post it.

Now when I try to go BACK, I lose the comment I was composing entirely including the location in the fanpost I was at. I am bumped up to the top of the fanpost and I have to scroll back down to the comment I was replying to or to the bottom of the fanpost if I was making a new comment, to begin the entire process again.

I am using IE 7.

Maybe this is too picky, but... I am seriously date-challenged. No, that doesn't mean I never have an escort, it means I rarely have any idea (off the top of my head) what the date is. Would it be possible to also display the day of the week on comments, the way AN 2.0 did?

Also, iglew pointed out that there is no "cancel" button when writing a new comment. The Cheat said it's right next to the preview button, but I don't see it, either.

I was looking at the archive, and I love that it lets you easily go back to diar...Fanposts from previous years. But I wonder if we could set up some sort of specific page for community "must haves". I was thinking of the ANcillary terms (or better yet the updated AN Co-op Glossary we had.)

We could then also set up other posts that get brought up from time to time by new users like:
-what's your user name mean?
-what's there to do in Oakland for us NRAFs when we make it to town?
-where do you sit?

Now who decides what goes there and when is well beyond me, but I just thought it might lend a hand to some.

(and it could be) but before the last comment format changes I thought that C was taking us down the post from parent comment to the reply comment (not necessarily chronologically)...now it seems that it is jumping to posts chronologically, which makes it really hard to follow a conversation when you're reading an updated thread.

I know this is a bit of an old topic but I didn't want to make a single new topic on this and couldn't find any newer posts.

Would there be someway in the schedule part of the new SBN blogs to have an area where a user could add his name to the game, meaning that he will be there? Could be a useful tool for people to meet up with eachother and also carpool. I'm usually a McCC'er but I'm sure people from other blogs could benefit from this as well.
