My old icon/pic has disappeared. Will this reappear at some point, or do I need to create a new one?

Image Upload: We had this working earlier, though buggy. It's on the dev list, rest assured.

Icons: You'll need to create a new one, 60x60. Think of it as your own personal Typophile redesign. :)

Uppercase Forum: It's coming. We need to refine some of the security permissions so it's truly private.

Old Accounts: We're sending out an email blast with new user information. We're troubleshooting the @typophile.com alias and hope to have that resolved asap.

In the meantime you can use my Personal Contact Form if you're having trouble with a new or old account - I'll manually enable your account or change email addresses as time permits.

Thanks

Are we going to be able to use <img /> tags that point to external servers - such as Flickr? Pretty please?

Taking a peek at the Designers section of the Wiki, I noticed that Smartypants seems to be having its way with the term delimiters.

Just testing the 'Reply' function.

John, No. We have the option to turn on threaded discussion but that typically causes a lot of clutter. Same with signatures; we've always shied away from these sorts of message board add-ons as they usually interrupt the flow of the discussion, wouldn't you agree?

Reply: the reply feature is a leftover feature in case we were to enable 'threaded' discussions. Given that we've always avoided threaded discussions in favor of a chronological, linear thread, the 'reply' is indeed the same as just posting a new comment.

I'm sure you already know about the duplicate (sometimes thriplicate) instant messages. Would be nice to have an archive of IMs too, like an in and out box. I'd like to know what I sent.

Thanks for Typophile 2 guys! I've been awaiting this eagerly for a long time! I really appreciate all your hard work!

Okay, here's the bug report.

* It seems that both on IE and FF (on PC) that the first post in every thread wraps around the avatar image (if it's long enough) and in subsequent posts it doesn't wrap around the image at all.

* When using FF on the Forums home page when you drag your mouse pointer over the links in the Prolific Posters and Active forum topics sections the headlines (or second versions of them) flicker above them (around 100 pixels).

* At the bottom of the page where you're able to send instant messages the Go! button is located underneath the grey box instead of inside it.

I love the news section, and everything else about the site... I haven't had a chance to explore too much yet. Plus the headlines are really great-looking (where you use that font-substition tech).

Will we be able to use our real names (next to the messages) when we post? I really liked that about Typophile, that people weren't hiding behind aliases and you know who's who.

Thanks again for all the great work... this is all I can think of at the moment.

I've only started to browse through the new stuff, but it looks fantastic. Great job.

Here are a couple bugs to report:

I wanted to become an Uppercase member, but the link is broken. I tried to email the bot, first and my message was returned. So now I'm posting here.

I'm trying to give you money and I'm getting shut down. Guess my credit's no good at Typophile

As much as I love the new interface, the reliance on Flash is sort of annoying. I have Flashblock enabled in Firefox, and that renders a lot of the UI elements kind of useless. I know I'm probably being a reactionary nerd here, but am I just going to have to deal? Excessive Flash makes browsers sad on Mac OS X.

- The instant messages do not like apostrophes, even straight quotes. They come out like this: "I'/m trying to talk with apostrophes".

- I am concerned that not all the legacy forum posts were ported. For example, I posted about the FontBook before Typophile went down (see Google cache), but my post was not here on the new site, even though the posts in that thread following mine were preserved.

Perhaps there's a script that the admins could use to replace every account's Username with their Full Name. Hmm, but then there may be login trouble? Better yet, just have the site refer to the Full Name in all instances (Who's Online, post credits, IMs, etc) and leave the Username for login purposes only.

I'm presuming this is Flash-related, but tabbed browsing (& opening links in new windows) doesn't seem to work consistently. In Safari 2.0 (OSX 10.4), command-clicking on, say, the main navigation at top ("Forums," "Typowiki," etc.) loads everything in the current window.

You're right Jonathan, that's a flash thing.

- Suggestion: The contrast between type and background is just one level too low for me. I don't need #000 on #FFF but things do feel a little muddy here. Same goes for the post separators. I liked the alternating post backgrounds of the old site. (White post, gray post, white, gray.)

We *do* want to get back to real names, that was very Typophile. We'll get there.

Ericgio, hang tight. We have some bugs to work out on the membership side; we have an automated membership thingy we're debugging, and then we'll let you know.

Jared,

Thanks that sounds great! I knew that you guys would take care of it. :)

Should I change back to my old username if I want to keep it? So that I don't have to use my full name to log in in the future...

Thanks again!

Agree with the width. I may have to go back to creating all my own linebreaks!

Looks great to me. How do I erase a post I have created accidentally though? I tried "edit" and then erase the contents but that's clearly not the way to go...

The accented letters in my name are changed to question marks in my account full name

Oops posted this first on the announcement thread.

My request for new password on my old user name ‘billyb’ did not get a response, though the site posts a message that the password was sent.

I registered anew, and then tried again to get a new password for ‘billyb’ using my e-mail address. That responded under the new registration. Is my old user name dead?

I agree with Stephen Coles about the background - too little contrast, the old way was better.

Also, is there any way to edit posts for spelling etc after posting, as before? Or is this gone?

It is excessively slow in comparison with the former site. The text of the section Post (to the right of the screen) is quite mixed.

Um. Since when? Maybe if you're still running Exploder 5 on Puma.

I'm finding the new Typophile Flash bits flying even better than the previous version in Safari and Firefox.
