There are a few. One we know about is the odd "Wow, I'm back outside the forum" bug that happens at random times after (eg) posting. So, unless you can document a repeatable sequence of events that makes that one happen, no need to report it. Other bugs, though, please add as replies below. Tell us as much as you can about the sequence of events that made it happen, please.

In control panel>account settings I entered just my year of birth, which is 1955. It has for some curious reason decided to show this on my profile as Tue, November 30, 1954 .

I'd rather not try giving my exact birthdate, but I'm very happy to give the year of birth as age is important to some people. It isn't a biggie: if it's a hassle to fix, I'll just remove any date information.

cheers

Repeatable, and plain weird. Tried it with mine. No idea about that one. We'll only fix that one with an update from the software source, I think

(incidentally, the "quote" function didn't work properly for me on this; I had to add the terminal bbcode to close quote by hand)


As far as we can tell it works now. A minor glitch remains with cursor positioning, this can be resilved if it persists by pressoing the " button when on a new line. That will either remain or go

Very weird, but we have a repeatable error for users of IE that means they get an error thus when they try to register:


http://forum.iomfats.org/?t=getfile&id=1609&private=0

While it's obviously delightful that the forum filters out those unwise enough to be using a non standard browser, and it makes huge sense to get Chrome, Safari, or Firefox if you are on a PC, it isn't helpful, and we're scratching our heads over it.

Do dump Internet Explorer. It's crap!

IE interpreted an unusual URL incorrectly. Go figure!
