Anomalies

[Serial_Apologist]

Well, I'm still discovering what the differences are! I think it would be easier if you outlined the difficulties you're finding. Apart from the admin jobs for which I regularly have to look for clues on the internet, I find day-to-day usage now pretty straightforward.

I am generally au fait procedurally with most of the changes by now - the only problem I have is in responding to PMs; I still can't work out where on the page one is supposed to "reply".

I am (selfishly) wondering whether any thought has been gven to creating any kind of 'manual' of major operational differences. My heart sinks at the idea of [re-]reading the whole of this thread in order to be able to make full use of FoR3 again.

....an intravenous version is available....it will gradually invade your synapes until your neural pathways are modified....gives access to football scores too....

I believe that's what they told us in 1947 about the NHS....

The Anomaly here, c'est moi : I've been away from the Forum for about five of the last 6-7 weeks, and therefore not kept up with this thread, which prior to that, had offered me solutions to anomalies, and various practical means of overcoming differences from the previous iteration of the Forum - and doubtless continues to.

Well the grey background looks like blotting paper so perhaps the ink ran a bit...

I've just noticed the lettering of the title at the top of the new forum has indistinct edges, especially when it is enlarged a bit on my screen.

Is this to reflect the intended tone of the new forum - perhaps a bit edgy, or a bit fuzzy?

I wonder if it has been fixed in version 6 of the software.

I tried to find evidence of anyone describing it on the vB forum and found nothing - possibly not using the right search terms but that's not usually a problem. As this seems to be a crucial way that the developers find out about bugs I wouldn't be too hopeful. I also experimented with Roger Wright (music administrator) and had the same problem, so clearly it's that final bracket. Andrew's workaround fixed that:

It does seem to be a bug. A workaround which works is to link the text using the link icon in the menu above the entry box:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._1_(Tchaikovsky)

Not in this case, I have tried it multiple times.

Yes I've also been having occasional problems with URLs not inserting completely. I find the best solution is just to delete the link and insert again. This seems to work.

The links themselves seem to link to slightly different pages with and without the bracket..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._1_(Tchaikovsky) with the question mark seemed to work

But in my case, the closing bracket of the URL was immediately followed by a full stop. Please note, that when I quote your message, the question mark gets deleted in the process, even in the preview. What else could that be but a bug?

[french frank]

Not for me.
It opens a page that says

Did you mean: Symphony No. 1 (Tchaikovsky)?
