Tested it myself, can't seem to get that to happen.

I know some browsers do download pages in advance of links you might visit on the page even if you don't. I think this definitely happens on mobile browsers. I think that might be what's happening.

It's to prevent spam. Had problems in the past.

This, but in a broader sense. The oldskool forum style is half the reason I hang around, but that audience is a dying breed. Is there any intention to get more modern software with more features and better embedding, somewhere down the line?

The embedding does generally work. I know tweets don't always because people put the ?s at the end.

I do like SMF but development has gotten so slow on it. SMF 2.1 is still coming which brings a few new features. No plans to change it, no. A lot of the site is based around SMF, the amount of work involved in say changing over to vbulletin, it's just too much. It'd be like learning everything from scratch.

Yeah, apostrophes and quote marks in thread titles are busted as hell.

Also I'm sure you're aware but any time a guest comments there appears to be a delay such that their post ends up in the middle of a bunch of other posters, that often already had the back and forth then moved on, leaving their post half way up the page being ignored.

It's not the first time, but sometimes I can't comment or modify my own threads. This is the most recent.

Also been having trouble with quotes sometimes shrinking my reply to unreadably small text. Seems to be more common if I copy/paste a second quote box into a reply, as opposed to just replying twice and letting it auto-merge, but it's happened without that too.

Hmm, the title thing is to do with when the news post is posted on the frontpage, it's copied to the forum and weird characters sometimes appear for apostrophes, speech marks etc. I still need to fix that.

That one is deliberate as guest posts are on post approval, same as new members. You can still see them on the frontpage but on the forum, they're temporarily hidden. Just to limit the amount of damage guests could do. I don't think members tend to reply guests on the forum but yeah, I see the point but I don't think it would make sense to have them at the end when they're approved as the conversation may have moved on.

Yeah, I can see the error in the log. Were you editing the title or the post?

I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but isn't there someone more impartial to fix the page bugs?  :laugh:

The error occurs on two different occasions: when I want to edit the thread and I see that I can't, I decided to post instead (a reply) and I couldn't either; and the site showed me the same error.
