If I want to print an article, it would be nice to have a print-friendly version.

The vertical bar down the left side of the page wastes way too much toner!

EDIT: Just noticed the "Print" link above the article!

Let me change my suggestion to: It would be nice if the print-friendly version were more readily apparent!

Suggestions where we should put it?

(I *just* had a meeting with a graphic designer and we discussed this very thing)

Maybe put it in various places users are expecting it, rather than in a single place? Here are some options:

Where it currently is.
Top right of webpage (next to settings and such).
At the bottom of the article (near the License and About the Author sections).
At the bottom of the page (with the copyright info and such).

Instead of just "Print", the link should explicity say "Print-Friendly", or "Print-View".

I think that would cure the problem. Smile | :)

Using latest version of Chrome

Hi!

In the Lounge, if you cycle through the Latest News, questions, rants, the text to the left will change position depending on which item you click on.

You have to click on all of the items from left to right, then back again and you get to see the text move.

I had a look at in IE7 (yes, IE7 - it's a work lappy) and it works fine.

Probably just a Chrome thing...

Cheers

Read the previous thread, which reports the SAME bug.

I'm still trying to replicate this.

It's definitely still happening for you? FireFox only?

It does not happen always. 3-4 days it was fine but i was again facing this issue yesterday. Frown | :(

I switched to IE. All was working fine.

At the bottom of the page you will fine the name of the server you are currently on (Web9, Web16 etc). Let me know if it's Web21 or Web22 - I've been having some weird issues with these two and that might be the problem.

Currently connected to:
Web18 | 2.2.0254
Web13 | 2.2.0254
Yet the whole page reloads when i click messages in Firefox.

Not sure if it's CP issue, as i looked the site in my colleague's system today. It was working normal in his system Firefox. Frown | :(

Irritating forum change

AFAIK this never used to happen...

When I open a forum it takes a few seconds to load, (slow connection at work) I see the threads and replies appear one by one.
Usually I'll start reading before the page is finished loading...
Lately when I click a message while the page is still loading it opens up as expected, but then the whole page gets loaded again, from scratch.

Its quite irritating, was there any changes made that would have caused this?

I reported this issue, something like a week ago: Clicking on a message reloads the whole page[^]

This is very irritating indeed, and I'll be glad if this gets fixed.

Wow! Chris almost convinced me that it's a caching issue at my side OR that this issue exists only in my imagination.

Now we have this reported from India, SA and Italy. Where is he now? Smile | :)

Disappointing?

That's a new term for a bug. 'Annoying' I can understand. 'Unnecessary', yes. 'Fix it NOW or I will post the Badger song link' - sure. But 'disappointing' makes me feel like I'v introduced a bug and it's a bug that isn't living up to its potential. A failed bug. A bug that grew up trying, that worked hard, that was never able to achieve the lofty, destructive heights of its peers - that may have even had a lonely loveless childhood - and now that it's out in the world in its first big production the results are...disappointing.

Sigh | :sigh:

I'll have a word with it.

(We know the change that caused it, but in rolling back those changs the bug is still here, meaning it's a little trickier than we thought. We may actually have to debug or something crazy like that. I'll go get some gloves)
