Is this a recent change? When you click preview...it would be nice if it actually moved the page to the preview section like it has always done since I first got here :-)

Super confusing the first couple times until you realize what is happening.As another recent thing, I have noticed that after posting in a thread, sometimes that section switches to "unread" on the main forum page, even though the post I just wrote is the most recent one, and I have certainly already read my own post. Not a big deal, easy enough to click in and switch it back to read status.

This may just be a "forum software updated a while back, this can never be fixed" issue, but doing some digging on Canfield joints I'm coming across a lot of decade-old links using an older addressing style (e.g. http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1201&start=1 ) that 404. The annoying thing is even if you translate to the current URL formatting (e.g. https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=1201 ) the thread still cannot be accessed. With the forum search being inoperable, this is doubly irritating for links to L2 threads that are not google-indexed. It's possible some of this is due to thread-shifting post-Constellation where forum/subforum layouts were rejiggered.
Moderator reminder:Do not embed images in your post text. Among other things, it can slow down or mess up page loading or formatting.Attach files--this function is available in the mobile version of NSF as well. Scroll down past the text box. "I'm on my smart phone" is not an excuse.Otherwise, you may lose your post.
The favicon has been updated to the new logo for a while now, but if you open an attached image in a new tab it will have the old favicon with the white background.
The search function often doesn't work. I have to re-click several times the search buttion before it displays the results of the search.

I just noticed that when I look at my profile, it shows "Likes Given: 0". Zero!I know that is wrong since I give our more likes than I get (philosophy of mine).Temporary bug?

No idea if bug or feature, but the last few days when I click into the forum from the front page I get a full screen ad I have to manually close. Occurs on mobile, don’t recall seeing anything similar on desktop.

Occurs on mobile, don’t recall seeing anything similar on desktop.Not a feature. If anyone else if getting this let us know. You're only the second person to mention this happening so far.
Apparently Google made some recent changes to their advertising. Mark changed some ad settings on the site this morning to hopefully make things less intrusive. He said it may take a little time for the changes to go into effect.
FWIW I’m still seeing the large ad on first click through to the forum side. Chrome mobile on iOS.
What happens is (and I'm on the 'Full Site') I'm happily reading a long series of posts and suddenly the phone decides to 'double space' the whole (rather long) page vertically, making the whole page much taller and losing my place. It then takes me half a minute or so to scroll down to wherever I had previously got to.
When I click on the "new" link next to a forum topic that has new posts in it, the "new" tag from the thread below the one I actually clicked through will go away, along with the tag from the topic I clicked into. This only happens if i click the NEW tag (which takes you to the first unread post), it does NOT happen if I enter the thread through the normal thread title link, nor if I click in through the last post link. I am on chrome, fully updated and public version. This has been happening for at least a week. Cant remember exactly when it started, but it hasn't been that long. I recall being confused and questioning my sanity for a day or two before I realized it was a bug.

So I had nearly given up on my issue of the new tags getting cleared where they shouldn't, especially after seeing the five year old post on simple machines forums that was left unresolved. BUT Then I got bored at work today, and did some browsing on the site. I noticed that the bug was still effecting me on my work computer, which means it almost cant (?) be a problem on my side. I've attached a couple screenshots of what is happening.
I added a comment to a bug report on the "new tag" bug over at simplemachines tech support forum. There were a few very interesting replies including one potential temporary fix. Additionally, a longer explanation of the root cause along with a link to a Chromium bug report (which the chromium team appears to actually be taking seriously). https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=575914.msg4075383^ that is the thread starting at my comment and includes the several very helpful posts in the replies since. Edit: spelling

It looks like the 'Carbon capture x prize' thread previously in the 'advanced concepts' section has disappeared. I think it happened in the last ten minutes or so after I made a comment - did I brake it?
New odd bug:I opened the SpaceX Missions topic and, as I normally do, clicked on the NEW icons next to threads which have new posts since the last time I looked at them. The last thread I clicked on in this manner was the Crew 1 discussion thread, which did have two new posts about the alarms that were spuriously sounded from Resilience overnight last night.However, when I clicked the NEW icon, instead of being brought to the new post from today (the first new post in that thread since December of 2020), I was brought to Reply #548, posted on 11/15/20 I believe. Literally hundreds of posts prior to the new post. And before y'all ask, yes, I had already displayed and read the hundreds of posts between the post displayed and the actual newest, unread posts. Put it this way, I have my forum settings set to show 100 posts per page. The NEW icon opened me up to page 11, while the latest posts are on page 15. That is be definition hundreds of posts... This happened at about 5:40am CDT. I'm awful at remembering what the offset is in both standard and daylight savings times, but I think that's about 10:40 UTC.That's the first misdirect I've seen using the NEW icons in, like, forever. Figured it caught my attention, so I'd report it.

(Posting this here because I can't find a specific thread for discussion of the relevant article. Mods, feel free to move this to somewhere more appropriate.)Just wanted to make the site admins aware that many of the inline images in this recent article on the NSF main site are broken:
Is there something weird going on with the timezone settings in this forum? I know that we have to set our timezone offset in our profile settings (in the "look and layout" section), and that the forum's own clock was weirdly one hour west of UTC, instead of actually *at* UTC as one might expect. And that I need to change it manually every time we go through a DST shift. But today I noticed that it was off by an hour again, and now the correct offset for me is -4. It was -3. Did the forum's own clock finally get corrected to UTC and now everybody is off by an hour?
Over time, attachments to posts sometime mutate and deteriorate.See this post from 2013 for an example. All five attachments now appear as big black rectangles, which take up a lot of screen space and convey no information. When downloaded, the PNG attachments are barely visible.
Seem to getting corrupt text on older articles in the CMS - odd symbols at the end of a few words. https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2005/10/flights-of-the-death-star/I’ve seen it on IPad OS (Safari) and Chrome/Win10.

This is about the front page stories rather than the forum: when I print hardcopies of a story it's started cutting off the right hand edge of the text, as illustrated below. The amount of text lost seems to vary.This seems to have started (or perhaps just gotten worse) in the past week.

A temporary workaround is to select 90% scaling (from the "print preview" page in Firefox) - this avoids clipping the RHS of the text.

This is about the main page, not the forum section.I use Microsoft Edge on my personal laptop and about 2 months ago, the Tweets by NSF section under Starbase Live on the right side on the main page no longer shows. I can see it on my cell phone but not on my laptop.I've gone into Settings on my browser to change some settings to make it display again, but no joy.Just wondering if anybody else has encountered this and the resolution to it.It's not a big deal, just an inconvenience.

I cleared my cache, closed Edge, and re-opened Edge. Unfortunately, the Tweets by NSF section still doesn't show up.

I have been trying Dark mode and it works but has a couple of issues for me.1. Quoted text is black/dark which is unreadable to me on the darker background. I have to highlight it to read it.2. Not specifically dark mode but the text is smaller in the quote and that makes it even harder to read. I can't find any text size adjusters in settings so I have to use Firefox's and that screws up the boxes in the forums at the sizes I use. Just a couple of inputs. My eyes thanks you for the dark mode.
A trio of Topics have recently become unavailable. In the past, reorganisations always included 'redirects' to the replacement Topics. Not this on this occasion - have I missed something?1) https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?board=54.0 was once L2 Commercial Cargo and Crew2) https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?board=34.0 was once L2 Historical Section3) https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?board=29.0 was once L2 Orion/Future VehiclesNB my NSF bookmarks have not been updated in a long while so some of the above Topic titles may be out of date.

I have a few annoying users blocked* so that their (always inane, never useful) posts don't show up in my view of forums threads. I see that they posted a comment, but the body of their comment is replaced with a message saying I have them blocked. It's a useful feature that I appreciate.I noticed today that this doesn't work on mobile. I'm logged in, and I'm seeing their posts Not the end of the world, but it might be a bug.

I have an older iPad 2, and recently I have been getting "This website encountered a problem and had to be ...". I use Safari. I have been using my MacBook Pro the past couple of days and not experiencing the problem.Any known issues with older iPads?
I have a stone age iPhone SE (first gen) and recently I have had occasional load failures of forum pages. This happened an hour ago but unfortunately the phone reloaded the page successfully when I got home, so I didn't get a chance to take a screenshot. I certainly will the next time it happens. The issue has been happening occasionally for a month or two.iPhone SE (1st gen). Safari, iOs 15.7.7The issue seems to happen when loading of forum pages is particularly slow. Now, my i.d. is only 4 characters yet sometimes I can type that and it will take the better part of 10 seconds to display it.I don't believe this is the fault of the phone - it may be old and little better than a tin can and string, but it manages the BBC News, CNN. Scientific American et al without trouble.Any suggestions most welcome (buy a tin can and string?), or similar experiences out there?Best Regards,Nic
