Thanks!

I found that if you right click over the "search" box you can then click open and it WORKS!!! Ok as a temporary fix...



HTH!!

I was coming here to post just that.

I changed the skin to tan, thanks girls, it worked, yay!

The new colors make my head hurt.

It could have been possible to create at least a subset of the current data to use as a testing platform.

In the new skin if you click the thread tools link it will take you to another page that has the thread tools. (Firefox)

I have to agree! How could the drop downs not be working for anyone? It's incredibly inconvenient and makes the site so much harder to use. Interesting threads are now filled with people who are just posting "subbing" so they can follow the conversation: so annoying. I accidentally unsubscribed from a whole forum (I'm on a laptop and I accidentally clicked unsubscribe, and was surprised that it didn't ask me if I really wanted to) and now there's no way for me to get it back.

When is this functionality coming back? Are there any browsers that it DOES work on? Being unable to follow, search, or subscribe to threads and forums is beyond inconvenient. Is there any way to tell a timeline of when this very major bug will be fixed? If a bug this major happened at any of the startups that DH or I have worked at, NO ONE in the office would be eating or sleeping until it was fixed!

Can't you just use one of the old skins until the new design is working?

Switch to an old skin, they all work fine.

I totally agree. The centering makes it very difficult to read for some reason.

Trying to EDIT a thread title.

This thread does not reflect the title edit until I open it. Then it's displayed across the top of my first post. I want the whole title to read this: Very difficult mornings w/ aspie/ Now incl. Summer time (starts @ post #18)

I click edit, go advanced, and type it in then save, but it doesn't show up.

Mine is really skinny and looks weird. Doesn't take up enough of the screen.

Don't know if I like these colors. The seem to make me feel sick.
