Switching the calendar to the Member's Calendar results in an error.
 
<a href="http://www.kickrunners.com/calendar/by_month/Member''s%20Calendar/2010/7">http://www.kickrunners.com/calendar/by_month/Member''s%20Calendar/2010/7</a> 
 
The error reads:
 
<div id="user_content">
<h1>An Error Was Encountered</h1>
The URI you submitted has disallowed characters. 
</div>
 
 
I'm wondering if it is because the name of the Member's Calendar actually has a " rather than an apostrophe in its name.
 
Anyway, it is not working right now.

OK, I know I'm old....... but I'm finding the new fonts really, really small and hard to read. Is it just me?
 
ETA: OK, just me............. reset a couple of things... better now.

Thanks - I reported it. You are correct - it's the "

Cool... <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title="">
 
And where's the plain old smile smilie? Am I missing it in the ones available? I mean, sometimes one just wants to offer a very ordinary smile.

Totally old-school. hmph.

Gingerbread · Jul 8, 2010

Right? I would prefer that the typed version automagically change to the gif file, too. I don't like having to open another box just to add a simple smilie. If I know the code, I can just type it. Otherwise, I'm waiting for a pop-up page to load, which is bound to be more of a wait as smilies are added.
 
Another problem with that is when I'm all luddite-y at home on dial-up, it can take forever for the smilie page to load (at least that was true of the old smilies we had). So...I think it's something to consider. I know things will get better as we go along.

Gingerbread · Jul 8, 2010

Oh, I cannot find where to customize what is shown on my home page. I don't need to see my PM inbox, for one thing. Well, that's the only thing I particularly wish to change right now. Of course, I haven't looked through all the FAQs yet, either.
 
Because I'm, ah, working. Yeah, that's it! I'm working!!

Sadness.

Look again! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">
 
Never mind, I put a party on the race calendar, and decided that was probably not appropriate. <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">

Quick question regarding the "follow member" setting. aka the stalker setting.
 
Is there a way to block certain people from following you? That whole thing just seems a little creepy. There are 1 or 2 I'd like to NOT get notified any time I do anything. Is that possible?

satfix · Jul 9, 2010

I will check with the developers for you. I'm going to guess that if you're invisible - then that would be disabled.
 
 
Thanks

Hemerocallus · Jul 9, 2010

Willrun4chocolate.... not sure I remember ('cause I'm old and have limited capacity in this noggin), but I adjusted something under View on my Menu bar at the top. Been fine ever since.
 
Two things though that I'm still having problems with. Like others have mentioned, I can't delete my old signature line. There's no button to modify the signature (and no, I'd never ponied up for Sponsor status), and it's not turning off like some others have reported. 
 
Also, when I open a thread, I have to scroll way down to get to the first post. there's a good 2-3 screen's worth of blank page on top. What gives?
 
Oh, yea and almost forgot again........ (two things, no I mean 3 things)...... (nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition).... I find that the Go to First New Post function doesn't always work properly...... been sent to earlier pasts of the thread, and also to posts way past my last visit.

...rich//.......can we get our Old Tag Line back at Masters??

Thanks for the feedback:
 
On the signature - the developers will be running a script that will delete signatures for non-sponsor users. During the transition, all the signatures came over. The default setting for this platform is "Signatures Active" but the permissions are set that only sponsors have the option. So, they'll do a 'sweep' of the non-sponsor signatures and delete them for us. If you ever decide to subscribe, then the option will be activated and you can then choose to use the signature.
 
On the first post issue: I will notify the developers of this (though they are reading this thread as well) - Have you tried going to the threads from the home page? Where it shows 'recent activity'? These are all the threads to which you've already posted or are subscribing to. When you click from there, the software should take you to the last unread thread.
 
 
We will keep working on the bugs/issues.
 
Thanks for the feedback!

If you click on the name of the user, you should be able to see an "Add to Ignore List" on the left menu... try that.
