Hi Cakewalk
 
Yes the forums are doing bl**dy brilliant, well done Cake for Fixing this.
Search is working, and so is android!
Couldn't be happier... OK I could be....
 
Could you do just three more things please :


1) Is it possible to reduce the search timeout by at least half so I don't have to keep seeing "Please wait a bit before searching again." - I would have through a 3 second timeout would be more than enough to stop DDOS attacks...
 
2) The notifications I am receiving are like this (no line breaks):

3) TinyMCE 3.5.8 (2012-11-20) the rich text editor software (which you type into) is over a year old, and there are bugs in the text editor (e.g. hyperlinks that move to the beginning when you create the link). TinyMCE 4.0.12 is available here:

This would be really helpful..... Thanks

OMG, the forum Plod strikes.

Alex, take a break, honestly, whilst i am sure you know MUCH more than me about all things web, Sonar, etc, you really put me off posting, you are coming across as being arrogant.

This is a peer to peer forum, not an "I-know-better-than-Cakewalk" forum.

Have you submitted a feature request ?

Yours not dissing you, but simply exasperated with reading some of your threads !

Ciao
Jerry

Merry XMAS to you too Jerry... I'm sorry you didn't understand the post in the spirit it was intended, a simple and polite request and an expression of thanks for Cakewalk fixing these forums. If my threads are annoying you for some reason please stop reading them.
 
BTW I know no official channels to make requests to do with the forums. I believe feature requests are to do with Cakewalk software not services and facilities related to Cakewalk. It would be good if somebody from Cake could clarify this process too.

My friend Alex I know you have a very heart felt regard for Sonar and this forum but you do seem a bit obsessive lately. I'm hoping its a phase you are going through and that soon you will return to the Alex we all know and love.
Others may see this post as totally unnecessary and it may be but let us all take a rest and welcome the new year with joy.   

I echo your sentiments, John.
 
When Alex previously talked of leaving the forum I posted many times asking him not to.  Although we didn't always see eye to eye, I respected him, and he often made me laugh.
 
I'm not sure I recognise the same person over the last few weeks.
 
Once again I find myself wishing Alex would come back.

Not to pile on but I agree. Other than that I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.
 
Regards,

I'm sorry I made a polite request and gave Cakewalk praise about these forums, and telling them they have done a brilliant job. I mean what exactly was wrong with that post other than it came from me.
 
Yesterday I made a simple Merry XMAS post and that ended up being covered in comments from nowhere, so I see where this is going... Before jumping on this thread let's kill the obsessive nerd bandwagon may I recommend people read the original post in the spirit it was intended rather than read other peoples comments and just pile in....
 
Merry Christmas one and all.

 
What I find really annoying is that the Go to first unread post command is buggered up:
 

 
Whenever I click on this button to access a thread I've already posted in, it always takes me to the post it took me to before (i.e. when I last pressed the button), regardless of how many new posts have been made since my last visit. It doesn't matter how often I use this method to return to a thread, it always takes me to the same post.
 
I see this behaviour in IE10, Chrome and Firefox.
 
Can anyone else confirm this is happening to others?

Tried it Steve using IE11 on Win7 64 bit... When I click on it the functionality seems sort of random, difficult for me to drill down exactly what happens here when clicking on it (and to be honest I've never clicked on that icon until now)...
 
Cheers..

Steve,
 
This happens to me most of the time as well.  There are some times when it works as intended, but I have yet to figure out what the difference is between works and doesn't.  It's pretty frustrating - almost to the point of "just turn off the feature" because I expect it to work and then have to sort through three or so pages sometimes to get to the post where I left off.  Oddly, it SEEMS as if it's doing what it's supposed to because it not only scrolls to the past, but also changes the background color of it to light yellow to signify that it's the last read post.
 
I'd love to see this fixed.  It makes the forum so much more usable.
 
Re: Alex - meh.  We've seen plenty of folks come and go over the years at this forum and some that occasionally get a little bit "post crazy".  The only thing that really bothers me about this is when it feels like posting for the sake of posting and there's not any actual content.  although I don't necessarily always agree with what he posts (and I've been away from the forums for a while and I don't really "know" the guy), he seems to be a mostly good contributing forum member.
 
And...as a web developer/designer/whatever, it's interesting to me that the forum software seems to have been updated recently yet TinyMCE is still an older version.  Plugins like this are potentially open to security issues (such as the cross site scripting vulnerability reported about this particular version).  Just odd that it wouldn't have been updated in the process - like Joomla 3.2 has been.
