I'm thinking that there are more serious issues to worry about.

It seems that the word wrapping goes a bit odd at the end of a line. When you have a word that is long enough to go on to a new line, instead of it starting on a new line, the word ends up being getting split up. You end up with half the word on one line and the other half on the next. Not sure If I have replicated it in this post, but Thomas' post above does it on my screen:

Now THERE's a problem! When I go to view the graphic, it show up in it's original size instead of auto-magically enlarging to the screen size. Further, when I press the + button to enlarge, it enlarges but only within the original space allocated on the screen.

One thing that would be nice, if possible:
When clicking on the Latest / Popular / Unread buttons, have it refresh if you're already in the view.
IE, I click Latest, pull up a couple posts in new windows, clicking Latest again would refresh the list.

Gah!. I made a spelling error in the above post and went back to correct it. Where's the "Edit" button? Are edits no longer possible?

Ah... never mind. I found it.

[Edit] And it seems to work, as well.

Someone else posted a problem concerning the absence of something that gives a clue as to which forum a given post on things like the "Latest Posts" page. I agree that it would be really handy to include that bit of information and would love to see it come back somehow.

Is there a way to get the Like/Share/Report buttons on the same line as the Reply/Multiquote buttons?

I do like the preview down at the bottom.

I think this is one we'll definitely look at. It's not out of the box behaviour of the latest version of Instant Forum, but we can definitely look at restoring it.

I seem to be getting notifications from threads that I have not subscribed to (such as this one)
Is there another setting I need to apply?

Thanks

Most of us are UK-based, so we're going to be signing off soon, but we're still combing this thread and logging any issues that come up - we'll be back on tomorrow again to look at what needs doing. Steve's also keeping an eye on this.
