DG Site Updates: Status of Updates & Fixes, 1 by Terry

To try to make things more manageable, here's a new thread so we can keep track of the still remaining issues. Here's what I know has been fixed, and what is outstanding:

Fixed:
Name hyperlinks now work
Date/Time stamps
Quote boxes
Apostrophes no longer trigger a backslash
Ads and ad boxes are gone for subscribers with ads turned off
Auto thread watcher - if you post to a thread, you *should* be automatically watching that thread, unless you have your preferences set otherwise.


Still outstanding:
Return to post after viewing photos in a thread post (added 12-13 )
Some posts contain a character or sequence of characters that is causing the system to reject them from posting or being quoted. (added 12-13)
Add back "while you were typing, a new post was made" alert when you are posting to a forum. (added 12-14)
Photo upload showing "failed to upload" even when pictures do upload. (added 12-14)
Skip to New doesn't work
Favorite forums not accessible
Forced preview (except on quoted replies)
Pagination is still not optimized
Home page not syncing with forum updates - while those bugs are being worked out, try hitting the forums page instead of home: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/ (I know it isn't as easy to get to, because you have to go through communities first, but if you hit it from the "FORUM" link at the very top of each thread, you'll be taken there - see screenshot below.

Am I missing anything that is not working? (We can continue to fine-tune the background and font colors and size...but I'm not going to ask the techs to spend time on those until we fix what is actually broken.)
