What is wrong with my FT screens???
 

The background is blank on all my FT screens. What happened?

Mine looks funky too :confused:

And I see a quick reply box

Okay jfe, what did you do?

I saw that, too. It's back to normal - for now. I should have captured the screen. Weird.

Huh...same here. I restarted my browser and that didn't help. Thought I'd go over to Technical Issues before rebooting my machine.

I also see the quick reply button.

Maybe FT is trying some new features and something got hosed on their end?

Or, maybe it was...no, never mind! :)

Well, it's 30 secs later and it seems to be fixed....except there is still that box when posting a message that says "Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the posts above to activate Quick Reply"

Veddy interesting!

I like the new Quick Reply boxes.. however, I don't know why I am now missing the convenient dropdown menu to change to a different forum (originally located at the bottom right corner of a page).
:confused:

I see the quick reply function is now working

Yes, I really like the forum drop-down... Can we have that back please?

I never use it, but I know a lot of people do

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but now I've to follow back up the breadcrumb or back to the forum list to move to another forum. Just seems to the time saved from this quick reply (which is nice, btw), will be returned when you move to a different forum. Personally, I move to various fora more than replying...

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

PLEASE don't take away the quick forum drop-down box!

The main forum pages are very large and slow to download on a dialup or GPRS link, and the quick drop-down box for forum change is the ONLY thing that makes FT usable on such a connection.

I am already missing this after just ten minutes of it going.

PLEASE bring back the forum selection box. ASAP. Like now.

Looks like the drop down menu is back.

So what exactly is the benefit of Quick Reply?

Quick Reply :p

Nice that FT is making changes without turning off FT. Thanks to the techies at HOM. ^^

Thanks for the quick work! :) ^ If only all techies can be that quick...

Is the "Who's online " disabled or is it just my confuser :) ?

But what about it makes it quicker?

BTW, i'm using Quick Reply to respond to you!

The quick reply might be nice (I'm using it for the first time right now), but I'd rather have the Forum Jump drop down above the Quick Reply box. :)

You don't have to wait for the reply screen to appear.

Handy if you have a slow network connection

Wow, I learned something. I nver knew there was a forum drop down box down there...

Don't feel bad, it took me a long time to (accidentally) find it. Now if I can just learn to keep my mouse STILL long enough for the page to open without an error message...

I actually prefer the forum drop down at the bottom - can hit end and takes me right there

No, it's just you. I see the list of people, but when I click on any of them, I get the correct time, but not their current activity.

If it makes the site faster, that's ok - just knowing who's around is sufficient, it doesn't matter what thread they're reading.

When I click the "who's online " link the all I get is a warning from vbulletin saying it's been disabled!

I see who's online at the bottom of main forums screen - no need to click on a link
