Technical issues

[AB Editor]

Dear AB'ers,

The technicians tell me that the issue with the "Next 20 Questions" has been resolved. Our apologies for the inconvenience, and our thanks for your patience.

We believe that most of the other technical difficulties have now been resolved. If you are still experiencing technical problems with the Answerbank please respond to this question with details of the fault(s). We will endeavour to correct them as quickly as possible.

Thanks, AB Editor

I have just noticed that on the home page there is a warning about not discussing legal cases which are sub judice.  But although it is entitled "Important Notice", it is virtually invisible (written in pale grey) and also invisible because it is at the bottom of the screen, which is not seen by anybody unless they scroll down to it (which there is no reason to).

Such a warning should be more prominent and should be repeated on the relevant pages i.e. the News page.

I am often not getting access to answers past page 1.  It is intermittent, ie.  I could this afternoon, but can't at the present time (19.32)

[smudge]

I still cannot access the 'next 20 questions' page.

Also, when I open up threads in 'my profile' I cannot use the 'back' button. I have to keep clicking on 'my profile' to get back to the menu.

[smudge]

P.S. It's so much quicker being able to post technical problems on this pink thread of yours AB Ed. Thanks

[graemer]

Dear Ed. In the question box the text still cuts off at the right hand side.

[FP]

Dear Ed, 

I have just found out that the error I have only occurs when I access questions from 'my profile'.

It would be great (and easier for you I would think!) if this Technical Issues question could remain as a separate category, leaving 'Suggestions' for suggestions.

[smudge]

FP - As I posted earlier, I can't use the back button when in 'my profile' either, surely we can't be the only only ones.

Also, yesterday, I suggested to AB Ed on my other thread 'Technical Issues' , that it would be better to have an 'AB Technical Issues' category on the Topics menu.

I know AB has Suggestions, but some people have in the past, used it for general use/info & not actually to do with AB suggestions or AB technical use.

[smudge]

*or the only, only, only ones, even!

[smudge]

AB Ed - Yippee - not only does the back button seem to be working now, but I can access the next page too. I'll keep my fingers crossed - just in case though! Thanks.

[smudge]

Nice to see you're still on top!

[Marsh]

Back from hols to find the new image (very nice)

 Posted an answer, received "the page you wanted can't be found" (not thosewords but I can't remember exactly) and was shunted to the homepage. 

Went Back two pages and Refreshed - my answer was there in the thread.  This is a problem that was there before the facelift.

I also still don't have an Adverts category.

[Marsh]

The posting above worked OK!  Grrrr!

[bob101]

Marsh You probaby can't see the Adverts section because you have ad blocking software switched on. I use Norton Internet Security and I can't see the Adverts section when I have ad blocking on.

[smudge]

Marsh - yes the problem was there before the upgrade & still is on my system too - well intermittently that is.

*AB Ed* - Further to my request in respect of 'Country of Origin', maybe it's possible to have a facility somewhere on 'Sign In' or 'Login Details' for Users to enter their Country? If they move, they could always amend to suit.

[smudge]

*Ab Ed - I mean: Enter Country on Register/Sign In.

Still can't see the right edge (as I look at it) of the question in the box

[Marsh]

Many thanks, bob101.  I'll try it.

AB ed,

I'm getting trunkated text on the right of the questions and answers. Can't see the last two or three words of each line.

[ll_billym]

I think that the search function is very poor and should at least be able to search a specific phrase using quotes.

[gerry]

I'm having the problem of words being cut off to the right.Making it pretty hard in some cases to understand the question being asked.
