I'll look into the issue with IE8/Win7 soon.  I'll also see about using Alt+S or Ctrl+S to post as it's been requested often.

lol, I don't want to promise anything, but I'd expect more updates in the coming months

I'm on Vista and IE8

Cool, thank you! I'm using RC 7100 of Windows 7, MSIE8 build number of that is the same, also 7100. It's a garantueed clean version

Next small bug:

As you can see the icon is missing (or did you not make an icon at all?). Now ofcourse it might not be a forum bug but something on my end, but a hard refresh and cache clear (well does the same thing basically) does not help. I do see an icon for topics that have a new reply. Might have been a post about this earlier, I don't know.

[edit:] Actually after viewing again I think this is on purpose? The 'empty icon' links to a space.gif and when I manually open it in my picture viewer it's nothing but a small white dot. In the page above it's probably stretched to predetermined dimensions. 

Second bug:

Now this is really a forum bug, I am sure Topics you replied in that have a new post turn bold and get the new icon. However, when a topic has new replies that I don't care about I click "mark all posts as read", so that every thread is considered read and I don't get distracted by a new post in a thread that I don't care about. However after I click the link the page reloads and it's fine. BUT when I close the browser and come back some other time, the topics are bold again, considered not read. I thought I remembered someone saying you have to read the topic twice for it to be considered read, not sure it was here but that doesn't really matter, so I clicked "mark all topics as read" again, but the same thing happened. I did this for like 5 times in a row but every time I come back to the "my replies" page the topics are bold again. It will stay this way untill I actually read the topic. Small thing to worry about, I know, but it's still a bug which I encounter quite often.

I figured I should test some more in the same session, to see if it's a cookie problem, but no one reponds to threads I posted in so I can't check

For the icon issue: can you recall if it was always that way?  It looks like if a post has not been read it adds the icon, and if it has it doesn't.  Wonder if I should keep it that way...

As for your second problem, I'll try to Mark Posts Read a little later and see what happens.

Wow, nice quick replay (edit: lol, whut?! replay? REPLY, god I need some coffee)

I'm not sure when the icon thing started, but it certainly has always been like this since I first noticed the problem. Then again I read many forums and usually see very little of the page before I click to the next so I can't really say anything for sure.

thats always been like that, if im seeing correctly that ur looking at ur "posts iv replied to" tab. if no new post has been made, the page icon is blank. wen theres a new post, the page gets a speech bubble.

EDIT: o, it didnt bring the picture along. o well, ull hav to look bak up at ur post.

Aye that's what I figured by now and what Bara confirmed. It feels a bit off though, like I said like an image file is missing from the server. Most boards use a simpler icon or some greyed out form on one to denote posts with no reply. As I understand now it's not a bug, just lack of a feature It's okay, I'm not sweating the small stuff, I was just wondering if something was wrong with the image files.

[edit] the "my replies" page thing and the "mark all topics as read" link seem to work well together now. I'll recheck later.

That post makes the page not load any further. I see this lots of times in as far as I know random topics. What is causing this?

All fixed on my end. Cheers.

Yeah - same issue as I was reporting - Reply 108 is end of page

The issue with changed avatars not immediately updating across all the forums predates this performance update.  Eventually, they update all around.  Probably the cache business Bara mentioned.

ARG! Pages keep taking forever to load and then only displaying pinned posts.

Me too.

Dunno if it's the same thing I have but pages tend to not load/load veeeeeeeery slowly sometimes.

I link directly from my favorites to the "my replies" page, which works fine, but it doesn't contain pinned posts.
