ALIVE

Other things that don't work, could be improved, or just FYI:

1. Can't delete or edit an original post.  Edit:  Original post can be edited.  See below.
2. Forum notifications for threads in which you participated are not on by default. 
3. Community and forum home pages don't include the name of the user who last replied.
4. Time-of-last-reply is only a link to the last reply on the Community home page, not from the individual forum home pages.  Fixed
5. Home page "unread" number for each thread is just the number of replies.
6. Discussions having replies since you last opened the discussion aren't identified.  
7. Can't link to a specific reply, only to the thread.  Have to Sign Out and Sign In again.
8. Links to replies posted on the old UI aren't found.  Why not?  It's just a URL.
9. A new reply sometimes requires a page refresh for it to be displayed.
10. Changes to profile settings in "Follows & Notifications" tab cause an unformatted "unsaved" error message.  Sign Out in Account Menu functions as an undocumented 'Save' button.  Fixed 10/11/2023
11. Account Menu > Profile displays your recent replies with hyperlinks that may lead to the actual reply or may go nowhere.  It's more likely to work when you first sign in. Fixed
12. A function is needed to change the parent post/reply of your own reply without changing the time of the reply.  This would be used to correct replies to the wrong post/reply.
13. Need a way to locate old threads quickly without knowing what to look for and doing a "Search".  There's no page scroll or go to the oldest thread.  There has to be a better way of doing business than clicking "Show More" a bazillion times.
14. If changes to a lengthy post you're editing disappear when you press "Reply", Sign Out and Sign In.  Go back to the reply you were editing and hit "Reply" again.  Your changes will be published.  There's no error message for that one, you just have to know.
15. Community home page doesn't indicate which forum contains each of the threads listed.
16. Old threads aren't locked.  New users may reply to posts that are years old.
17. The "Related Content" threads in the upper right of this page may be years old.  How related is content from 8 years ago?
18. After clicking a link to another forum thread or reply, clicking the browser back arrow doesn't consistently return to the original post. 
19. Selecting text in another post and clicking the quotes pop-up displays the poster's name and the selected text in your post, but your post won't publish. Fixed
20. The selection to follow "Internet" board isn't included under the "Follows" section of "Follows and Notifications" in My Settings when "All" notifications is selected.
21. An unnecessary notifiation is created for a user's own post.  I already know I posted.
22. Sign out occurs 60 minutes from time of Sign in, regardless of activity.  A timed Sign out should only occur after a specified interval of time has passed with no activity.

As to point 1, seems you can edit OP. See screenshot here. Basically you have to click on the gear on the top right of OP then click on "edit".

Thanks for the heads up about how to edit an original post,  I don't start new threads often, but it's nice to know how to edit.  I started a new thread to test the new UI.  I tried edit too.  Correcting a typo counts as a last post.     

I believe the cap limitation may be the maximum number of times a particular post may be edited without signing out and signing back in.  There wouldn't be a theoretical limit for the number of times a user can post in a given thread.  The incident probably occurred because of an issue with a thread created on the old user interface.  It shouldn't be an on-going issue.  

Have you changed any forum settings?  Is yes, did you get an unformatted "unsaved" error when you tried to leave the page?  Were you able to leave the settings page without closing your browser?  Were your changes saved?   Where's the "save" button?

Testing Chrome ofre auto corect, also not working.

Spell check also doesn't work for me using Chrome and Edge for just this site. For long posts I suggest copy/paste from a email or something else that has spell check.

For anyone missing emoticons you can still paste them from Windows using the Windows key + "." (period). 😎

Still having issues with bad request. I have to re-log in every few hours instead of remaining logged in, and I have to clear cache and cookies or I get a bad request. I am REALLY starting to become frustrated as these new forums are a step backwards, NOT forwards. I could put together a forums server with a better usable format than this, and I have not been in programming since 1994. (Though I believe I still have a copy of MASM somewhere.....)
