Use IE 10 and FF 23 and you'll have no problems :)

LOL, glad to know my signature is still accurate.

The newer format is nice, avoids obstructing the content too much, and still allows people's avatars to be a reasonable size.

Don't shoot me Greg.

Another tweek.

Friends list widget header reading Friends, with the caption Showing 9 of 19 Friend(s); three friend avatars: a cartoon-style portrait labelled lisab, a grey blurred photo, and a small diagram of a right triangle with a circle.

When you open the list of people who voted in a poll, the usernames of people appear white over a white background, making them invisible unless you pass your mouse over and select the text.

The same effect happens in the list of friends: My PF -> My Profile -> Friends. The avatars are displayed normally on the left, but the name does not appear next to the avatar. (you have to put the mouse over).

I looked at mine and it appears the text is actually there but because the text is white with a grey outline that's then rendered onto a grey background you can't see the text. Just needs a bit of html / css tweaking to fix, either change the outline to another color / shade of grey or make the background for the friends box white like the currently online box.

chat on saturdays ?
Chat is on Sundays, except for rare times when we do it on holidays or for other reasons.
 
when a post has been edited, the title bar says so (after about 5 minutes), but still gives the time of the original post

i would rather it gave the time of the edit (as it used to) …

otherwise i don't know whether it was edited after i last looked at it :confused:
 
Thank you for getting rid of the volcano noose. Take all the time you need young Greg, not to fix that...

Just check your notifications (read the PMs and so on), and the message will go away.
Alternatively, I am sure a userscript can handle that.

Is "premeditated murder" in the blurb about what constitutes a valid reason for pushing the "Report" button?

and the Quote feature malfunctioned. The quoted material was shoved over to the extreme RHS of the screen and cut off. I have been able to use the Quote button before without this behavior.

I am using Windows 7 with Firefox V22.0

Quoted this post using Win7 FF23 and it appear to function just fine, hmmm

Same here with FF 23, also Win 7.
I grabbed a screen shot if you want it.

Updated to FF V23.0 and Quote seems to work fine now.

I see it now and fixed it. Also happened on new thread.

Please let me know if you see any other problems!
 
The twitter link on the main page causes the sidebar to appear at the lower left side of the page. When I delete the twitter node (using Firefox inspect element) the page displays normally. I'm using Firefox 23 and Windows 7.

edit:
But only when I'm logged out. The page displays normally when I'm logged in.

I checked the page source and found this line:
Code: 
<a href="[PLAIN]https://twitter.com/share"[/PLAIN]  class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="physicsforums">Tweet</a>

But when I log in the line is not there.

What screen resolution. It displays fine for me.

This is at the top left of the page:

Physics Forums website header and forum index showing the Science Education and Physics section lists, with a Tweet link at the upper left of the content area.


This is at the middle left of the page:

Screenshot of Physics Forums website showing the PF Lounge section with forum entries Science Fiction & Fantasy, General Discussion and Forum Feedback & Announcements, and a panel titled The Physics Forums way describing quality and civility values.


When I delete the tweet link the problem goes away. But the link is not there when I log in.
