I'd noticed this, sort of...
curiously, clicking the thread title works fine, then you can get to p2 from the links at the bottom. is anyone getting anything other than that point(less) thread?
I have a quick solution but not sure whether it'll work!
Okay, looks like that did the trick... threads now displaying correct page numbers and linking correctly?
Wonder if it was some massively coincidental string of / and . in that one thread that broke the database?
Webbo, Live Search is becoming unusable. I tried yesterday and just now- I type in the words I'm looking for, it comes up with answers and before I can choose the one I want, the choices are gone.
interesting. The Livesearch does populate for me, after a small wait, but the results don't disappear before I get to them. Please could you tell me your operating system, browser and version number (eg Windows Vista, Firefox 12)
Thanks
Hadn't noticed this facility until I've just read the posts about it on here.
Have tried it and nothing happened, but I shan't miss it as I didn't know it was there ... ...

Is it possible to have a new line put automatically after the Quote function has been used? At present it can be difficult to work out where the Quote finishes and where the new comment starts as often they're on the same line.
No, I can still see them! eg http://talkback.writers-online.co.uk/account.php?u=319&award=1 in both the user details and the left hand column (below Start a new discussion)
Refresh the page?
Think we might have covered something similar, now you mention it! What would "Totals" be? The total number of comments added and discussions started are in the main column, eg:
Discussions Started 766
Comments Added 19398
I've noticed the forum being slow sometimes, but I put it down to busy times of the day for the internet in general, as I have exactly the same problem at the same time with another forum, and also with Facebook.
The competition entry section was running very slowly all evening. Think I enterred the last line comp OK, but only saw a message saying my details had been updated, nothing about the entry having been uploaded/recieved. Could you confirm you have it. Cheers.
It's running slow today- other websites aren't, so is there anything wrong with the site, Webbo?
Taking much longer than usual to go back to the main page after looking at a thread.
The One-Word Challenge thread seems to be having trouble updating my access - the number of 'new' continues to read the same as the total, despite me having read them all.
In fact none of the threads seem to be updating. 7 'unread' in the One Word Challenge thread, (I've read them all). Similar situation in all the other threads (the ones I've read, anyway). Not a huge problem, but would be nice if it were fixed!
That's OK for 'one-off' threads - read it and never come back to it, but where a thread is ongoing (One Word Challenge etc) you don't know if there are any posts in it that you haven't read yet, and you have to scroll through them all until you get to the last one you read. But mostly, of course, it is because there is a function that you used to benefit from which no longer works. Therefore something must have gone wrong!

Have you tried clearing your cookies, cache etc? And then coming back into TB and seeing if it happens again.
For instance The New Dr Who Assistant... [ 1 2 ]
Only has 1 comment!

I believe that activation is free, as long as the forum is compatible.
Thanks

20,000 comments added? Blimey.
Eeeh by gum, the forum can be S-L-O-W sometimes.
I hate to complain, but...
One assumes that if users online reach a critical number, the poor old server groans under the weight.

What difference does it make anyway - if you know you have read the threads, why do you need to be told by the site ?
(Just a thought - feel free to ignore me)
;)
Right - I understand you.
Weren't me !!
