Post your bugs and issues here...

I still am unable to post on the Dayton thread as mentioned previously - I still get errors.

Foodbme, have you tried changing your email address?  I see you are subscribed to over 400 threads - perhaps Hotmail is blocking emails because it has received so many email requests from us.

 
I shouldn't need to change my email address. Others on here have many subscriptions and don't need to change. I cleaned up the number of subscriptions I had - removed over 90 - And I did all the reboot stuff you recommended to others. Let's see if that helps. I may need to get professional counseling if I can't get my "Roadfood Fix" pretty soon! It's the only thing keeping me sane in this crazy world!

 
Stephen,
I'm STILL not getting any emails from Roadfood!!!! Have you figured this problem out yet???

My descriptor no longer seems based on my post count, but rather on some other measurement.  Since I see no announcement related to a change in how descriptors are determined, I assume this is a bug

(That said, I don't care if I am a "steamed lobster" or a "plate of lutefisk" really, just concerned about what change occurred.  If it is intended, announce it.  If it is unintended, fix it.  That sort of thing)

TJ, It looks like everyone is messed up. I've been demoted to a Cheeseburger but people with more post than I have been demoted to Junior Burgers as well.

I apologize if someone's already asked this, but:  What's with the "picture frames"?

Hmmmmmmm, once you log in they disappear.  Gezz, I thought I was seeing things for a minute.

Not a bug so much as a question/request.

Is there any way I can pick & choose what forums come up when I click on the Show Me All Unread Topics button?

Yes, Go to User Control Panel > Forum Filter and click on the forums you don't want to see. One caution. In doing so, it will also remove the forums you filter out from your browsing view when you select Forums in the heading. So they become completely out of sight and out of mind.

It now appears the picture frame is gone and my descriptor again matches my number of postings.

Yes, it was an issue on my part.  Thanks for alerting me.

ha! I went down to lurker

As I sat here reading the orange background changed to yellow. How come?
 
Edit: And just now the whole site widened out by some 2 1/2-3 inches.

Today I tried to vote for a review ("Yes" to helpful...) and it did not count my vote.

Yes, I know I know I know that if a review has already been voted on that it will not count me twice. However I am 100% certain I had never seen or voted on the review in question.  It's Junior's in NYC. Started at vote count 21 of 25, and is still showing 21 of 25.

And yes I am signed in.

I tried deleting a picture from a recent post to replace it with another and found that I am unable to do so. The original picture is displayed even though I have deleted it from Photobucket, thus breaking the link? Apparently you are capturing the pictures?

We aren't capturing any photos, but your web browser cache probably does.

Subscription Issue:

I posted a new thread in Trip Reports (Utica NY) and subscribed when I posted.
Over the next couple of days I received the email notifications that there were new posts. Then they stopped. I figured the thread was just dead/quiet, and checked an it was. 

Today I happened to look at it and there were new posts, but I never received any notices. So, I checked my subscriptions and it has disappeared.

Why?? I did not look at nor "manage" any subscriptions since the post or since I got the first notifications.

DEFINITE BUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After posting this message I re-subscribed to the thread AGAIN.  I went back later and checked to make sure it was on my list and it was.

Today another message was posted and I received no notice. I checked my subscriptions and it is GONE AGAIN. 

This is a problem.

I will re-subscribe, but only one more time.  VERY VERY annoying!

Trying to search for a single word (I know mutiple word searches have cause dissues in past) results in:

Server Error
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

What was the word?  I think there is an issue with certain forbidden words.  "Castle" was one of them.

I'd rather  not say ...no, just kidding. The word was calendar, as I was looking to find an old post on the roadfood calendar so I could lament the change away from that most wonderful whoopie pie photo! Who took that picture anyway??  

Hey, you're right, calendar is one of the forbidden words!  That's not good!

Yup,  I go from 870+ posts to some other number.

One thing that has helped me with the login issue - ie I rarely have to relogin now - and this is for Firefox only

1) Click Tools - Options
2) Click Privacy
3) Click Exceptions in the 'Cookies' section
4) In the "Address of website" enter  'www.roadfood.com' (but leave off the single quotes)
5) Click 'Allow'
6) Click OK repeatedly til you are out of the options-setting screens

should  be good to go thereafter

Don't choose 'Allow for session' instead of just 'allow' or you'll be logging in over and over again into the website   

Bless your heart!  That was one of the main reasons I've hated Firefox, as it arbitrarily decides for me what sites I stay logged in to when closing it and what sites I have to re-log in to!  I have my own cookie management software, but Firefox completely ignores it, which has been making me absolutely crazy.

not all the time but, most of the time, since the new format started, when I click on a topic listed under, "latest forum conversations" on the home page, instead of directing me to that topic's page, I'm being directed to main "forum navigation page" that lists all the topics. I'm using a Mac with the latest OS X operating system. And, I never had this problem with the old format.
Mind you, it doesn't happen all the time. Just, most of the time.
Thank you.

On my Mac, that happens when I use the Safari browser but not when I use FireFox...

 

Cecif,

I bet you took your mouse cursor and scrolled the window or did something else outside the edit box with your mouse cursor. When you do that the insert blinker is still blinking but you cannot type. What you have to do is click once inside the edit box to be able to type again.

An even nastier bug is if you do something outside the edit box with your mouse cursor and then decide to start typing again without clicking again inside the box and decide the first thing you want to do is backspace you will blow your whole message away that you had typed to that point. That is not good at all.

 

 

Hey Ceci,
  I've fiqured it out... You are typing using the white color font, Right???   

Your situation really has me puzzled. I hope the techies can figure the real issue out shortly.
