Hey everyone,
I would like an account of all problems associated with using our forum. Since the forum works problem free for me, I need help from you guys using other OS's and browsers to report issues.
Hexdragon is having an issue with the captcha and not able to save posts.
Using Firefox 22.0 on a Windows 8 Laptop, also not able to use Internet Explorer 10.0 with the forum at all.
Anyone else with similar troubles?

I'm using, Windows XP along with I/E. The problem I have (still) is posting a portion of a quote. I also can't figure out how to do bold text or CAPS. I click on the Icon's in the upper left corner, w/ the frown face and glasses, the $ sign {..} < these guys and nothing happens. And still can't click on the POM/POM cheerleader and get her to work, even trying different suggestion's from other member's who are smarter naht/than I. lol 
I never had a problem before the format changed several month's ago. I'm not too fond of this format.

First highlight the text you want bolded, itallicized, or underlined. Then click the B, I, or U in the upper left corner of the edit box.
For CAPS, press your caps-lock key and start typing.

The captchas have definitely been a problem.
Sometimes you have to keep selecting the next one it gives you several times before it will save, and sometimes it doesn't work at all.
Also, when putting the @ member's name, it doesn't always link properly to the person's profile like it used to. And other times it links too much, such as all of the text that's been typed in after it.

Well, I also have had numerous issues. I think it's a Windows 8 thing for me mostly, or it's a combination of W8 and IE 10. But I've found ways to work around most of the issues.
1. I HAVE had problems with the whole Captcha thing in the past. Eventually, I have to simply close out the browser, re-open, and try again.
2. Navigating the forum can be painful. If I use the "compatibility" mode, I can navigate fine, but then can't post. I get to the forum I need, jump out of "compatibility" mode, then post.
3. Outside of compatibility mode there are issues, that can be worked around. I can't simply "click" on anything in the forum. Any buttons from "log-in" to "add topic," to the page numbers themselves. Here's the work around: Hover over the button, click and HOLD until the pop-up, explanation box disappears. Click and HOLD AGAIN, the pop-up bubble will reappear, then disappear. At that point, after it has disappeared again, I can release my mouse button, and it will take me to where I am trying to go. I have to use the same technique to post in the forum. Anywhere there's a button, I have to click and hold. Took me a while to figure this out. Hopefully that will help some folks out until the kinks get worked out.
@ Pierre / Fiddlerman;
Is there any chance of getting the old format from what was there in the beginning back into action ?
Everything was so simple. Quote's were a breeze, it was easy to isolate and quote paragraph's, sentence's or even one word, everything worked great before the change. Even "I" could do it with ease.
One more thing I failed to mention in the above post that even other member's have commented on, "Searching", for past topic's. I don't know how some brand new member's resurect topic's that are over a year old and I can't find something that was posted two week's ago. Typing one word or sentence or part of a sentence just doesn't help, for me anyway.

It works fine on my Windows 7. But I can't post from my Ipad - I can log in, but it will not accept any kind of post.

Since a couple of you mentioned trouble posting with ipads, I thought I'd try it with my Android tablet.
Ok - It worked with the default Android browser, but not with Firefox.
Just wanted to give it a whirl in case it helps with the issues list.

Thanks everyone. I'll get to work on these issues. Keep me posted.
Ken, the problem is that the old version of SP doesn't support all OS's and the newest version of WP.
It's kind of ironic since this one appears to have trouble too. 
I'll continue to work on our issues and try to find viable solutions.
