I can't login via my Kindle.

I can't believe you didn't test for that.

Quick work around for now.

At the bottom of any page with comments, there is a link that says Log in Now.

If you hit the reply button in the forum, you will also get to the link.

It takes you to a login page with no fancy effects which you should be able to use for log in.

Also you can bookmark this log in page: http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=login

You couldn't have mentioned that bookmark ages ago, when I first posted that the login pop-up doesn't autofill with Safari? Grumble. And they say no one gets a privileged service . . . Ban the Kindle elite!

The new edit function in the Article comments (hooray!) only seems to work if the comment you want to edit is the last comment in the list.

There's a time limit on the edit feature. 100 minutes. After that you can't edit. If we start getting legitimate requests from people that they need to edit a comment more than an hour and a half after it's been up, I'll change the code.

IE6 is not supported. It is an obsolete browser.

RSS forum feeds are not working (no problem with non-forum feeds).

Forum RSS feed fixed.

Also, who ever asked for article list in the forum, you got something there for now. It's just the articles and news though, not the blogs.

Thanks Jeb. We are transitioning our URLs over to something semi-readable by human beings. I think I have got them all now.

Most old book marks and links should still work, but a few may be dead.

Also, BTW the < and the > icons on either side of the article titles at the top of Trash Talk are scroll buttons. You can browse through all articles and news. It's ordered by publish date.

Replied by jeb on topic [url] behavior wonky in blog comments

If you select text in a blog reply and click the URL button you would expect to see:

Imagine this line is highlighted
"click URL button"
[url=http://]Imagine this line is highlighted[/url]

What you actually get though is:

Imagine this line is highlighted
"click URL button"
[url=http://Imagine this line is highlighted]here[/url]

Inserts the "here" and everything. Weird. I would argue the http:// is not helpful either--folks are almost always cutting and pasting links, not typing them.

Also, when you edit that issue to be correctly formatted, it replaces & symbols in the link with & like an HTML substitution. You can then edit the link after submission, change them back to just & and it will stick.

Thanks! The ability to edit comments in blogs is greatly appreciated.

That's mot a bug it's a feature

Okay, I know it's counter intuitive, but:

paste the URL into comment without the http://

like:

for more information click fortressat.com/forum/28-trade-forums/96234-a-trade-of-games-the-fat-arms-trade-part-vi

highlight the URL

click the URL button and you get

for more information click [url=http://fortressat.com/forum/28-trade-forums/96234-a-trade-of-games-the-fat-arms-trade-part-vi]here[/url]

Then you can edit the the 'here' if you want to.

Ampersands just suck.

I still have a problem with RSS feeds: some of them lead me to the beginning of that thread instead of the specific reply. Others work well, but I could not figure out any pattern.
