SoonTM. According to my limited knowledge, the bug is on IPS' end, not ours, so it came packaged with the forum software. You might have to ask Invision Power directly.

adsii1970 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 The scrolling only happens when you're: 1. Using a browser which supports it. 2. Your screen size doesn't allow the default width of the signature area. On my screen and with Microsoft Edge, there isn't any scrolling in my signature area.

The only thing I can think of is the last forum software update changed the dimensions of the default signature box. If this is the case... It's new!

Vanamonde Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 To clarify, there is no old forum or new forum. We've only ever had one, though the format has changed several times as we transitioned to new versions of the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4cheesecake Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 It's actually noticed in a pinned thread in this very subforum: Quote Q: What do the dots under a username mean? A: How many posts you have. Thresholds are: 0 to 4 posts = 1 dot 5 to 99= 2 dots 100 to 499 = 3 dots 500 to 1499 = 4 dots 1500 or more = 5 dots.

HansonKerman Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 What the frick happened here. Every time I tried to post, it was merged with that post, even though @XB-70A posted after me (who was triple posting , seems like another bug).

Please, PLEASE That's not a bug and what's happening is you're posting too close to the moment of your last post. By default, it will merge your posts. XB-70A and you were probably posting near the same time and the forum server handled yours first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I waited a good 15 seconds. Is that too short? It’s weird. However... it was funny too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adsii1970 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Who knows exactly how this software handles that... I was told the time between the posts before merger wasn't automatic was at least a minute or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XB-70A Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 @HansonKerman Many of us already saw it in the Number Wars 2 topic (in my case I stopped counting how many times). It appears most often when many users are posting simultaneously or without leaving enough time between each replies. @Gargamel & @adsii1970 From what I saw in the topic concerned, it can be a bit longer sometimes. I would say the longest was around 30 minutes in one case (it was the last year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XB-70A Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Update about that question from @HansonKerman. If it can helps, I just recorded it to give an idea of what is happening: Link to play it easier in .mp4: https://i.imgur.com/49oVOG9.mp4 As you can see, Hanson's reply is duplicating at 0:16. However, once you refresh the page it disappears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
