It's way bigger to me too. I think it was like that before though...

Hmm. One way that does work is to type the text, highlight it, and then click the hyperlink icon.

Dang, I had hoped I fixed that.

There's nothing much i can do other than say .. "dont upload huge pictures!"

When viewing a topic that has stemmed from an image that that was uploaded to CD Media: If you click on the image it doesn't bring you to the picture as it was uploaded to CD media but just the CD media main page. Or maybe its just this one picture.

I still haven't figured out how to get the new spotlighting to work. To test if it was a glitch I went back to one of the old 1999 archived posts and took a random blurb and tried to spot light it. It said its already been done and to check the list.

When viewing pictures in CD-Media the little arrow next to "new posts", "search" and "quick links" buttons disappears.

Should be fixed now.

The issue was with old pre-CD-Media pictures being redirected from the old system to CD-Media. Should be fixed.

Hm. It should be working now. Try a brand spankin' new post and see if that works. Don't worry -- we can always delete it after you've tested.

(thanks to Michelle Celio for help testing)

This may not be too major, but when I read some PMs it didn't ask to send a read receipt.

I think I just broke the whitepapers.

The "new posts" list never gets any smaller. (approx 285 new threads for me this morning.)

[Alex Burman]

I had just click on the CD media button and the page was loading and the pop up message telling me I had a private message appeared. I said I wanted to view the message in a new window. The new window came up but instead of being my private message inbox, CD Media came up. I thought maybe someone gave me CD media for my Birthday but I saw up at the top it said one unread message.

Hrm. Are you reading the threads, or are you not viewing them?

They won't go away until you either read them, or mark forums as read.

(BTW, you can mark individual forums read on their individual forum listing page, under 'Forum Tools')

Yeah, this is to prevent bad things from happening by automated bots. People can really kill a server by automating an attack by searching a whole bunch of times. The captcha, although not completely effective, will slow it down a bit.

That would be fine and dandy (not really), but the entering of the 6 digits/characters does not even work.

Search-pwnd..

I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem.

Also, searching CD-Media still returns doubles of the same pictures many times. What's up with that?
I know that was an issue before the upgrade btw.

Al, scroll through the pages. You should see a huge banner saying "The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts."

They still show up when u log in, and don't dissapear like before.
idk if I like that yet.

Also, is there an override feature to disable MultiQuote?
(Hopefully it will disable if I log out and then back in)

I hit the button to do it.. not knowing how it works..and now everytime I go to do a regular quote on this thread, it brings up the one I hit multiquote on.. (one of Brandon's) as well as the normal quote. (Al's in this case).
And I have nooooo idea what page that is on to go back and turn it off.

I can see it being a cool feature. no doubt, but it just needs an override.
Edit: It cancels out and goes back to normal when you log out of CD and back in.. but who wants to do that?!?!? lol

Works for me. It's case sensitive -- hit 'refresh image' if you can't read the one you're given.

yeah. it was an existing issue -- itll be fixed eventually.

The 'mark as read' will make them disappear.

This feature gives you the ability to quote anything on the site -- different threads, posts, etc. There probably is a way to clear them out ... I'm not sure, exactly. It's not required, however, if you want to just quote one thing, and once you do reply, it should clear out. So worst case, reply .. clear out the unwanted multi-quotes, and then type your reply.

I tried searching today while I was not logged in from the drop down box, and it didn't give me the option to do the image thing (not that it would fit in there..), but once I searched it brought me to the advanced page where I had to enter it. Is the image entering really necessary? It sort of makes finding information quickly a little more difficult. (We're not so posted to use forums in school, so it's got to be an on and off real quick thing)
