That hasn't been working for a while.

Really? I thought I saw it grab a post yesterday.

That said, I haven't actually done anything to fix it. No idea WHERE that code for that is, and I'm pretty sure it's something custom that "we" wrote up.

I don't know if it was JPG'd or it simply lost color for some reason.

It... was. I didn't have a backup of the original file, so I managed to snag it from Google Image Search... which JPEGified it.

If someone has the original, I'll reupload it atop this one.

I'm reasonably sure I haven't reuploaded that. If it's not working, I'll hunt it up and reinstall. It probably wasn't one of the "obvious" things that were broken.

It was disabled in the options. I re-enabled it. If things are still broke, let me know.

This is the original.

I think the feature that merges double-posts together within a certain time window is gone as well.

Posting twice to make sure.

EDIT: Nope, it's there. Weird, how come when the forum hiccups and it duplicates posts, it doesn't merge them together?

In that case, maybe the "no identical posts within five minutes" thing is turned off.

Maybe I'll try to reupload it when I get back from Christmas just to be sure.

Could we check with the people that made the VB software about multiple posts I think that since everyone is posting twice the amount for every comment they make it's slowing down the server and taking longer to post I used to be able to click the send button and it would appear almost instantly now it takes several minutes to do it. I know you've had trouble working with this stuff I'd just appreciate it if you looked into it!

Yep, i'm having exactly the same problem. Sometimes it auto-merges the posts, other times it posts the same message twice.

Heck, even this message i'm writing may be posted twice.

Not sure if it's been brought up, or if it's just an issue with my comp, but the link to the Older Posts on the Home page doesn't work for me. I can't even click on it.

That's strange, it's working fine for me. Which browser are you using, and can you try another one if possible?

Sorry for the long wait to respond. I'm using firefox, but I tried out Chrome to see if it'd work and it did. So I guess it's just a firefox issue. Is there a possible way to fix that or should I just use Chrome?

Interesting. For the record, I'm having the same problem.

I mean, usually I'd just ignore the main site, but I became curious today.

EDIT: Oh, and yes; Firefox here too.

I'm using Firefox and I have no problems. Weird.
