Si, I know you said that you're going to get rid of the colours at some point. Is it possible to keep the red? It's the one colour that I use alot.

Here's a display issue I've been running into: for every post, there is a dashed line (ie:
) that goes across the entire screen; it appears right above the links for the poster's website, PM and Email. Depending on the length of the post, the dashed line sometimes goes right thru a line of text, making it hard to read. Not sure if that makes sense or not; the dashed line also makes it confusing for me as to where one post ends and another starts (a case of too many horizontal lines in each post). Maybe it could be removed as it really doesn't seem to serve any function and doesn't look particularly attractive.
Can you tell me which browser you are using (Is it IE 6?), I have had a few reports of this and am trying to pin it down and get it sorted. I believe it's a misplaced line from somewhere else on the post!
Apologies for being so late in replying SiCo; it still happens with both Internet Explorer v6 (which is what I have at work; we can't use newer versions due to some proprietary software) and FireFox v3 at home (continually patched to the latest release).
The dashed line also sometimes blocks the REPORT EDIT and QUOTE buttons at the bottom of each post; almost as if the app is getting confused as to where the end of the post really is. It's not a big deal and doesn't break the site; its more of a cosmetic issue and clicking the browser's REFRESH button usually clears it up.

Not sure if this is the right place to say this, but I'm suffering from a lot of problems with the new interface.
First of all, I can't log in properly. When I open the page, the login link isn't active. I can only login after I open one of the topics and then scroll down. That login link is active.
The during login, in stead of having the place where I have to put in my name and password underneath each other, they are on top of each other. It still works, but I'm sure they should be underneath each other.
I can currently only quote the last message in a topic, as all the others do not have a quote button for me.
Also the search function seems to have dissapeared.
And there is no way for me to get to my profile either.

I am having a lot of these problems also when using Internet Explorer 7 but not when using the Safari browser. You might try a different browser while the bugs are being worked out.

Try hitting the REFRESH button on your browser after loading a page. I have IE v6 at work and notice that some buttons and menu choices do not appear when a page first loads. In my case, hitting REFRESH usually fixes the formatting problems and the buttons and menu choices then become visible.
I have tried it, but unfortunately it doesn't help.
And thanks for the tip 00-agent, but I'm not about to change my browser for something that is (hopefully) a temporary problem.
The thing that really annoys me though, is that I can't use the search option. I love this site (amongst other things) for the information that is available on it. But without the search function, I feel rather helpless...
I have a similar problem to Mr White
Curiously I did not have this problem until about one week ago
1. The login in details overlap
2. The "post title" details overlap.... this has actually prevented me posting new threads as the details are hidden behind the font tool bar
3. At the top of every page the line with the Index buttons is sitting almost outside the "Account migration" box and I can only see half the words.
4. I also have a large gap between the dotted line indicating the time of post etc and the start of a post proper
Otherwise it hasn't made a deal of difference. I will be somewhat frustrated if I can't post any new yhreads however. I dont start many new topics, but you never know.
Ho-hum.
Ok so I have managed to post, but I feel I was lucky! The tool bar was still obstructing my title. Curiously I noticed as soon as I placed my cursor across the tool bar, the title box merged behind the font examples.

I don't use IE at home (I use Opera) but I do use IE at work (naughty, naughty... ) ) and I have these probs too.

I have a problem when using this website. When i want to post something on General Bond chat I log in. Then I'm being sent back to the root screen. I'm logged in. Then I click on "General Bond chat". Suddenly I'm no longer logged in. Then I log in from that forum. After logging in I'm back at the root menu. For some reason most forums like Quantum of solace works perfectly.
Can anyone help me?
Chrisno1 it also started happening to me just about a week ago.
The main thing that keeps bothering me, is that I can't perform a search.
Very frustrating... X-(
Apart from that, don't get me wrong, I love this site!
Interesting as I use an older version of IE (v6) at work and by and large it works for me though I often have to click REFRESH to make sure the page displays correctly.
Did you try deleting your temporary internet files and cookies? Its a longshot but my brother was having problems with other sites and doing that cleared things up for him.

I do that about two to three times a week, because I hate that stuff cluttering up my drive. Also because I use my computer for banking as well.
So sadly, that doesn't help with this either...

I know that you said that the 'Favourite Films' feature will be back soon but when exactly is soon?
Also, how exactly are you going to make it "bigger + better"?
Why do I always get "Unable to confirm security token" when sending PMs?
This is because you are probably writing slightly longer messages and they are taking a while to write. Basically the system sets a code which has an expiry, if you take longer than the allotted time to post / write a PM it just has to verify that you are who you say you are. i.e. the person who filled in the form. It is to stop robots and external computers being able to spam as they never create the initial security token.
Sorry it's annoying but all you have to do is submit the form twice. I am looking at removing it on things like private messages but at the same time I don't want to lessen the sites security against these sorts of attacks.

To be honest favourite films is the least of my problems right now. You will have to wait. It is coming back, it will be better but it will be when I can get it done and it won't get done any quicker the more you ask!
Right I have been looking in to all these issues and I am struggling to find an answer. I am going to make some changes now and I'd like to know if these problems still exist.
Right I am testing this in IE7 which is the browser the bugs seem to be in. It is now working perfectly for me after I made some changes that have been staring me in the face for ages! - Always the way. Please report if it's fixed or still broken. I need a -{
Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope those of you scared off by it will return or at least keep going, without having to guess the links!

That should not be affected in anyway with the changes. I will look into it. Can you confirm by refreshing a few times and trying gain tomorrow morning and just let me know which version of Opera you are using. This one should be easier to fix mind!

For me anyway :v
Safari 4.0 runs perfectly - with AJB - and in general.
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
However, now no graphics appear in Opera
if it's not one, it's another

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I have my search function again!
