On my work machine, I don't select "remember me". Previously, when I turned my computer on and logged in, TFP would remember me until I closed the browser many hours later. Now, it forgets me if I'm away for a half-hour or so. The cookie still exists, because it keeps my skin preference. Are the time-out rules different now?

I don't think they are, but I've always experienced the auto-logout after 30 min of inactivity if I don't use the permanent cookies.

Anyone else notice the ctrl-i, ctrl-u and ctrl-b buttons are actually picked up by the form now, instead of being intercepted by the browser? Bolding text just got fun! heh..

Spoiler text: In all themes, the spoiler text has a white background. This allows it to stand out in most themes, but in the themes with a white background, there is no indication of the presence of spoiler text. I don't know if that can be adjusted or not.
Spoiler: here's some spoiler text<-- this should be detectable.

Automerge is nice, but I bumped into it trying to duplicate something else.
Does anyone else see errant 40-second post throttle warnings? Type in the reply box, click advanced to preview, then post. I can't duplicate it in the test forum. Didn't happen here in General, either.

Just discovered a nifty feature in searching.... if you are searching on posts based on a person's user name... once you start to type in their name (like 3 characters) you'll get a list up of every member that matches that name... (good for bad spellers like me

I also would prefer, sometimes, to respond to separate statements in separate posts, as Gilda mentioned. It is useful when a single topic diverges into a few internal threads.

YAY FOR JOURNALS!!!!!!!! Thank you.
As for the double-posting thing, yeah, is there really a problem with people bumping their threads up? I mean, maybe there should be a minimum "waiting period" on your own threads, e.g. waiting 3 days or something... and if no one else posts in that time, you could be given another chance to bump it up. Sometimes, good thread starters just get overlooked at first. Then again, I am sure there is no shortage of bad, annoying threads, too.

I think it would be nice for links to be underlined in Insignia. It's a pain in the ass to have to mouse over everything that anyone writes to check for links, or to miss links because I didn't mouse over carefully enough.

Wow, changes actually happened.... I don't even know if I should bother reporting anything because when I did Hal never gave an answer. Not that he had to but it would of been nice. *Sigh* With all the anti-aliasing problems w/ the past themes and all, and former features removed that I recommended and Hal so kindly installed in 3.0 version I believe. But when he upgraded after that it was all lost, I made a thread in Suggestions w/ all the requests and new ideas but I was never answered.
Hal, now that you have seemingly have time [b/c I know workin' on the forum bugs can be a chore especially when you had to balance your personal life at the same time] should I reask? I really, REALLY do not want to post the suggestions if I'm going to get ignored; my mind simply couldn't take that again. For example, someone asked you how the journals were made to be faster. I know you can't be expected to see every question but... I'm speaking from experience when someone asked you about a technical aspect of the site. But yeah, I'm really interested to know even it is in coder geek speak. You could always simplify the terminology. Anyway, let me know Hal - the ideas and opinions are here... they just never get heard by the only person who can do anything about them which is you. I've tried reaching different admins in the past w/ suggestions seemingly in their terrority of being an admin, nothing to change the site or overhaul it in a major fashion and I've been told it had to be you. Then kindly PM'ing you to see what your thoughts on the suggestion were, usually inviting you to comment in the thread so that everyone could see than to expect a personal response. You never showed. I realize this is your baby, but if an experienced admin can edit a theme template to make links not get hidden because they match the background they're on, can't he be allowed to? I know this is all in the past 'n all, but... I just really can't bare to give the opinions and be treated like a mime. A yes or no is always perfectly fine followed by personal opinions. But in the past... never got that kind of response much less the acknowledgement. This was the guy who recommended QuickQuote II and QuickEdit, which worked beautifully and received massive praise as a great addition resoundingly, but no one seemed to care to readd them after the upgrade that removed them took place.

When it comes to things like links getting hidden in certain themes due to their colors, list those issues here and I'll see what I can do. As for stuff like re-adding QuickEdit and QuickQuote II, yes, that requires Halx.

Yeah, Secret. I've always know about that, who should implement hacks and who should not. Hacks would require the highest admin, b/c if anything got screwed no one admin would lose their position over the botch up. But the issue w/ the links being hidden b/c they matched the color of theme, among many other small issues, was an example that was reported by me but never taken any action on. Not even commented on. Nada! Nothing. You read those initial threads, right? So my skepticism is not undue or unfounded. I just have a really hard time after 2 years or so that anyone will take my requests seriously.
Which made me wonder why we need so many admins if none of them besides Halx can alter anything. Trust me, anything I've ever asked for needing minor tweaking has told me to route it thru Hal, I wonder if I still have those PMs lying around saying such things? Anyway, I hope this is the dawn of a new beginning - I really do. B/c it was really frustrating to see little things not getting fixed, it's not like anyone who can make the actual changes reads suggestions anymore. But I guess I'll never know until I try again. Link Issue: I believe that happened w/ the Dark Cloud theme, which was my favorite and would like to see brought back. BasicDark looks underachieving and early vb-ish.

Well, bringing back an entire theme (i.e. Dark Cloud) *isn't* something I can do. Plus, tbh, themes are pretty low priority in terms of things that need to be worked on for the site, especially now that there are a few fully functional options.
But, if you have any examples of colors that don't work well together in currently active themes, I'll be happy to take a look at those and see what can be done.
