I'm having a couple of problems with the new forum software. It may be that the software is still being updated, since the forum just came back online a short bit ago.

Anyhow, I made a post in the strategy forum and noticed that the text box on my IE 7 is now very tiny (as in no more than a couple dozen characters visible. I decided to just copy and paste the text from a notepad window, but then after I posted, all of the paragraph formatting was gone. Now, I cannot edit the post to try to fix this. When I try to edit in IE7, I get that tiny text box, and if I try to edit in Firefox, the text box is fine, but the changes do not seem to be saved in the post.

Because of these problems, my post is quite hard to read (was supposed to be 3 paragraphs, now 1). It's like the forum is reading the post like HTML and not reading carriage returns, but I tried adding in a
tag with no effect.

Is this just my problem?

[EDIT] See if this edit works. I think the problem with the lost formatting in my post was my fault. I forgot that IE has a tendancy to loose paragraph formatting in .txt files. The problem was that the edit window in the forum was so small that I couldn't proof the post.

Now the real problem is the fact that I cannot edit the post, and I figure that's due to a feature that has not been fully implemented as of yet.

Love the look of the new software, BTW.!!!

[EDIT #2] I'm betting its a matter of some part of the new software not operational yet. I can edit my top level post, but I cannot edit my reply. Also, the edit system for my top level post here looks completely different for the reply edits. I betting some aspects of the system are still going to the old forum, but we're seeing the new forum. Bet it'll be fixed when the admins finish setting up the new system.

Really like the new software. It's lightning fast compared to the old forum, for me at least.
