Just testing as well. looks good this does.

Lots of options to play with! what does the anchor do? didn't want to touch it untill i know what it is!

The anchor creates a link within a page. You can label a bit of text half-way down a page for example as an anchor. You can then create a link elsewhere in a page (or in another page) and link to that header. So let's try it...this text in an anchor call "blah"

I'll go mak another post and link to blah...

ahhh! confused! how can i delete my own posts? like this one that i was experimenting on, but is useless?

...it would appear not. I'll see about adding it (jon posting as non-special user)

Jon,

It would appear that I can reply to existing posts but not create new ones.  

 Is GR3 fully up and running?

 Tried under IE7 Firefox2 and Opera9

Geologists like a nappe between thrusts

How odd! I've just tested it using my normal user and it worked fine in IE7 and Firefox. Are any error messages appearing, for example, permission errors? Clearly, you can log in OK, so I'm puzzled.

If I click the 'new post' button I get a title bar but no editing window

Hmmm...unfortunately, I cannot replicate this problem. I've tried in both IE7 and Opera 9.1, with and without Javascript enabled, and both work fine. I'm at a loss as to what to suggest....

You could try disabling the WYSIWYG editor. Go to "My account" on the left. Go to "Edit", the open the very first option entitled: "TinyMCE rich-text settings". Set the default state to "off". Try to post a topic again and let me know what happens. Very sorry about this!

Works perfectly well for me on IE6 too.

Right, if you go here: /forum  and click "New post" it works fine. You can select the forum in which you would like to post your topic on that page.

However, if you go here: /forum/46 and click "New post" it goes bad. This happens with any browser, but I should be able to fix it tonight Many apologies again!

Fixed. Thanks for spotting that, hypocentre!

Jon,

Thanks for fixing that ... now about this editor

If you disable the rich-text and then preview your post the editor is back in rich-text mode. If you need to edit the html again turning the rich-text off can corrupt your html. Some of the less thans and greater thans get turned into escape characters. It's not major for a small post like this but can take several frustrating iterations for a longer blog post

Is there a way of keeping it disabled/enabled?

Edit: I've just re-read your post above so there is!

Which brings my on to my next gripe

When you reply in GR2 you could scroll through the thread not just see the post you were replying to. With this function I wouldn't just have made an idiot of myself

But seriously it is useful when replying to more than one post in a thread

 Off to play with my account settings

No problem... 

There's no setting to do this straight off. I will look into coding this up, because as you say, it is a seriously useful thing to happen. Drupal (the CMS used here) is fundementally different to phpBB (used on the old site) in the way it arranges conversations, but this should be possible
