Bug reports

In Micro Four Thirds Talk I posted a reply to IsabelCutler in a thread titled "EM 10ii Targeting Pad Keeps Turning Off". She acknowledged my reply with a post. Both of those posts disappeared. I now posted another reply which does appear in that thread. I don't recall deleting my original post but I suppose it is possible that I did it unknowingly. If not, there is a bug of some sort.

EDIT: Ignore the above comment...Isabel posted the same question with the same title on another website and that is what I replied to earlier. Sorry for the confusion.

Not sure if this is a bug or something in my settings but Firefox doesn't seem to be seeing the field I type into as being a text box with multiple lines of text. Therefore there is no spelling checker active. Which is annoying.

Here's an easy one: If you click on the little downward arrow button in the top right corner of a post, you're currently presented with the option to create a "Permament link". The misspelling is also in the message window that opens up when clicking it.

You are right I just checked in another forum I use. In that one I only write a sentence or two and hadn't noticed the lack. Here my replies can be more extensive. I may have to look at other browsers.

Opps! my misunderstanding. I had the English language pack installed but not an English dictionary. Therefore selecting the spell check enabled box, didn't do anything. I loaded the add-on, and now have a working spell checker in forums.

It's an add-on addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/language-tools/ I chose the British-English Dictionary (GB). Quickly installed seems to work fine.

Not sure if it's a known bug or my misunderstanding of the forum interface. I understand email notifications on the new posts are not working and it's a known issue.
However in trying to enable non-email notifications by subscribing to threads and can't seem to find those notifications. The button changes its status to 'subscribed' but the subscription doesn't seem to affect any of the menus/lists on the forum. An I missing something obvious or it's a work in progress?
Thank you!

Its effects are only shown here:

It's sure to be a WAD, but nonetheless a serious bug in my view (or perhaps a configuration issue?).

I just signed up, gave an email address*, and I'm in. No check on the validity of the email. Unless you guys really like spam, you should do something about that.

*a valid one ;)

Right, great, thank you.
Is it somewhere in the mobile version too? I lose this drop down list when I switch the browser to mobile view on the phone.

Yes it works that way, thanks. I think it can be considered a bug (that it's not there in portrait orientation on mobile).

Is there any way to convince the system that I've read/seen posts in a thread, so that clicking the blue box doesn't take me back to the same post each time, which post is ever farther from actual new posts? For example, I always go back to dprevived.com/t/the-exposure-triangle-is-misleading-and-unnecessary/1602/2/#post-12445 in that long thread, despite having read to the end many times and even posted later.

I realize this is a known bug - I'm just wondering if there is a work-around until it's fixed.
