    Hey guys,

    there are no numbers in the top right to reference posts directly.

    Okay, quote works properly right now.

    I just thought I ask because I had such troubles finding out what was going on and maybe I was looking for the answers in the wrong places. But now I know that if I have problems loggin in I should look at this forum and for any announcement from you.

    Is it possible for you to give the title of your announcements a colour so it sticks out more?

    Implement that please. ^_^

    Okay, a small compilation of the bugs and problems that have been showing up for easier referencing:
    -Page stretches when uploading images. Text in that post stretch as well, making them nearly unreadable. So far, this only occurs in Firefox 3.0
    -The thread icons are messed up. Only locked and stickied threads function properly. Happens on all browsers tested.
    -Private message buttons turn invisible or simply disappear.
    -Online/offline dot removed everywhere but on the account details page.
    -Issues with quoting *SOLVED*
    -Non-boxed dropdown windows appear far down the screen. This apparently depends on the user, not the browser.
    -Larger spacing between header and forum.
    -Too many lines (not an actual issue, but a complaint)
    -Posts are no longer numbered, making it impossible to reference separate posts.
    -Some buttons (though only 'Preview' confirmed right now) still have the old look.
    -The 'Advanced' button when editing a post is surrounded by a black frame.

    I think that's it. Just_Cool, could you explain what you mean when you say the timer goes mad when you post? I'm unable to confirm anything of the sort.

    Also, something else I noticed, some buttons have a new look, some don't. This is very noticeable when replying to something, the 'Reply' button has a new look, whereas 'Preview' is still the same as it was in the previous layout.

    Edit: Updated the compiled list with the last two issues I've stated in this and the next post.

    Sorry for this double post, but it's better than editing in this case. I've discovered just what thread icons work. The following icons show up:
    -Stickied threads and announcements
    -Locked threads
    -Threads with less than 10 posts, with unread posts among them and no own posts.

    Especially the last is troublesome. Any thread that doesn't meet that requirement has no icon. This means read threads, threads with 10 or more posts, and threads which you've posted in yourself look the exact same.
    Edit: Changed the number from 6 to 10. However, I found a thread with 8 posts, with unread posts and no own posts, and it had no icon. So I'm completely confused on which icons work and which don't.

    Also, I only just noticed the 'Advanced' button when editing a post is surrounded by a black frame.

    Dropdown menus work.

    I've confirmed the rest to still be as the list says.

    Doing a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) should get rid of the old button graphics. If it doesn't, tell us exactly which ones are still broken.

    I've circled the button. That one doesn't change, it remains the old style, even after doing a hard refresh.
    Edit: The save button when editing posts is new to me.

    Edit: The text at the top changed when I refreshed. Perfect world International forum -> Technical support zone now has a smaller font. Was that supposed to happen?

    Thank you all for your help today. There are still a few little things here and there, but I believe most functionality is sound, and things display ok and are readable.

    Much thanks to the Engineers, Dvorak, Xarfox, all the PWE staff, and especially to our awesome community members for helping us test stuff out.

    We appreciate your help, and value you spending time in our worlds and having fun!

    -Darthpanda16

    P.S. I hope you all have a great weekend! b:pleased

    Okay, good morning all! I immediately noticed the lines between posts are less obvious, good job ^_^
    Also, I see you've solved the image stretching...somewhat. Now, the image just gets cut off so it can't stretch. I'm afraid that can't be considered solved, you're forced to post urls to larger images now, unless you're content with half an image >_>
    Here's the list of what I've checked:

    -Page stretches when uploading images. Text in that post stretches as well, making them nearly unreadable. So far, this only occurs in Firefox 3.0*SOMEWHAT SOLVED*
    -The thread icons are messed up. Only locked and stickied threads function properly. Happens on all browsers tested.
    -Private message buttons turn invisible or simply disappear.*SOLVED*
    -Online/offline dot removed everywhere but on the account details page.
    -Issues with quoting *SOLVED*
    -Non-boxed dropdown windows appear far down the screen. This apparently depends on the user, not the browser. *SOLVED*
    -Larger spacing between header and forum.
    -Posts are no longer numbered, making it impossible to reference separate posts.
    -Some buttons (though only 'Preview' confirmed right now) still have the old look. *SOLVED*
    -The 'Advanced' button when editing a post is surrounded by a black frame.
    -When editing a post, all buttons except advanced have big white frames around them.
    -Personal messages get stretched.
    -The text at the top (the "itinerary") is surrounded by a black frame.

    I also noticed when editing a post, everything has white frames around it. Added to list.

    Edit: Found something else. Pm's get stretched. Screen (url for readability purposes):

    I censored the contents for privacy reasons.

    Edit edit: The text at the top is surrounded by a black frame. I mean the Perfect World International Forum -> Technical Support Zone in this case.

    There is a thread that was moved in the Cleric class section, it links to a thread of a different title that is locked. A couple isses are apparent there. The merged thread does not link to the post spot where it was merged. Next is that the thread it was merged into was locked, yet there is no locked icon next to the thread in the main Cleric class section view.

    Oh, and the quote button randomly stops working. When you try to quote a post that has a quote in it.

    Ye, I was the one that wrote about the lines between post.

    I must admit that the current configuration is much more readable with the darker lines between posts.

    I like it that way.

    Good job from the web designer(s)!

    If this has been mentioned here before, sorry for bringing it up again.

    Whenever I want to edit a post that I already made, when I go to save it, it always says something about "No Thread Specified contact admin", instead of taking me back to the thread I was just in. It's quite annoying.

    My list is still rather accurate, and I think I've gotten every bug encountered thus far. What Wrathx has been saying seems to be something that happens regardless of the new layout. Here's the list again. The first two are likely the biggest issues and the ones that need solving the most.
