This is a summary of proplems on the site that did not work when the site was launched "live".

Some problems were fixed so this is a new thread.

OLD THREAD

Please add to the list and give more feeback!

1) Codes and formatting do not work, please add a way to format post on the thread for solutions to the problems , thanks

(solutions to problems on the new site)

3) NO emoticons on threads or posts

Not fixed exactly, but knowing the short cuts, you can post them, please look at this thread.

How to post emoticons.

4) Graphics are not possible and old graphics disappear from posts when you edit the post or thread.

5) "How do I format my post?" link under the edit window, some help text appears below, and suddenly vanished.

6) To register on the site you are only asked for username, e-mail and password. All username information, which took me along time to achieve, gender, language proficiency , location, are completely gone! confused

On the sign in page now , the language is stated by default "English 1", please include options to change this

the option "English and Spanish appears now by default, algo es algo

7) Quizzes have not been corrected.

8) No accent can be added from below the answer box. FIXED

9) The double click translation feature isn't working correctly. FIXED

10) Reference section is difficult to find and should have a special link under the "learn" tab.

11) Comments are so small they can hardly be read.

12) Scroll down window when typing in the dictionary search box has disappeared.

13) PROFILE INFO cannot be filled in, nothing can be changed either.

Please let me know if the feedback button works for everybody, this is one option.

The avatar picture can't be changed, you click on update, it says

Your profile was successfully updated.

And the picture shown is the sameconfused

Does anybody have the same problem?

Yes I have just tried it and my avatar did not change. - ian-hill, Feb 6, 2012
It is the same with me ! - 00fb46c8, Feb 6, 2012
My profile page is messed up too. I don't know the technical words, but the text is overlapping. Is it just me, or does anyone have a problem with that? - MLucie, Feb 6, 2012
Yes, I wanted to change my avatar so it faced right (facing the comments) rather than left, and I encountered the same problem. - Xocoyote, Feb 6, 2012

In the "contestar estar pregunta" I would like an icon for strikeout and underline, so I can edit my posts and show where I made changes. I still do not know how others are able to do this (perhaps with HMTL tags?).

En la sección "contestar esta pregunta", me gustaría un icono para "strikeout" y "underline" así que puedo modificar mis comentarios y entradas y mostrar donde hice los cambios. Aún yo si no sé cómo (como) los otros tengan la habilidad a hacer esto.

[Como siempre, por favor, corrija la gramática.]

Yes, it's done with tags. For strikeout text, use the tag 'strike', and for underlines, use 'u'. - Achsah, Feb 6, 2012
It would be easier if they were both click options when we type text - like bold is. - ian-hill, Feb 6, 2012
Colours would also be nice to have. - ian-hill, Feb 6, 2012
Ian: Exactamente. That is what I was asking for: click icons to allow strike-out and underline. - Xocoyote, Feb 6, 2012

When you are in a thread and you click on "start watching" the box doesnt have the check mark in it like it used to.

Paquistán shows up on the drop-down menu when you do a search, but there is no translation.

Computers can be a bear! I know smile

I see many good intentions, very good intentions! Advertising is good! And web designing can be a challenge.

Perhaps we can slow a bit on bickering and give "The Others" an applause.

¡Amor y paz!

Ads pay for things. Just don't buy anything you didn't intend on buying. Prices are still governed by the competition. :) Is that so crazy? - EL_MAG0, Feb 5, 2012
If I were an advertiser, I'd be concerned that a website that didn't respond to its users will drive down traffic, and the value of the ads. So advertisers won't pay much for running their ads. - pesta, Feb 5, 2012

No. Nothing happens when I click it. I used to be able to use it when the new version was still in beta, but now I just get the message 'Error on page'.

I don't think anybody reads the feed-back Sr Wakka, so it doesn't really matter . The horribly red button is very in the way! - annierats, Feb 5, 2012
I hope they do. Programmers NEED our feedback to make it work because the number of possible mistakes is too big to find them all themselves. But I don't like the color either :) - S1r_Wakka, Feb 5, 2012
I have sent messages through feedback for you guys and was answered that it does work so who knows what the heck is going on. - Yeser007, Feb 5, 2012
Well apparently it works for me. - Yeser007, Feb 5, 2012
The color works well for me. :) That is the color I chose in firefox. Select _Tools_Options_Content_Colors...Select, background (I chose the lightest blue and it looks good, I hope they use it.) and then be sure to uncheck the box that reads.... Allow web - EL_MAG0, Feb 5, 2012
pages to select their own colors instead of my selections abobe (uncheck). And then if size is an issue, press cntrl and size w/ scrollbar on mouse. :) Have fun :) - EL_MAG0, Feb 5, 2012
Amor, I'm an old woman.. How do you think I'm going to do all that when I can just add sunglasses? - annierats, Feb 5, 2012
the feedback button works OK for me. - MaryMcc, Feb 5, 2012

I've just noticed that when I, "hover", over peoples avatar to view their stats it appears and quickly disappears. Sometimes it doesn't appear at all, and sometimes it doesn't multiple times before it, "sticks."

Things that were working over the weekend are not working now. Specifically, I don't see any images (in the responses), and I don't see the format menu bar tonight. Is anyone else having this problem? I assume this is temporary and will be fixed quickly, so here is the suggestion I wanted to post:

In the user page there is a single line listing: Reputation, Badges, and Points. Now notice that the tabs are in the order: Badges, Points, Reputation. Please put these 2 in the same order. Thanks.
