A minor niggle to be sure but how about a global/top level "mark all posts read" button so that one can do this with out go in to each forum individually?

Ah ha.. in very small font at very bottom of page... I never looked there since I rarely get below the equipment list.... Perhaps a second link at eh top .. like the A under the help tab for shifting the font size....

You can also mark all threads of a particular forum as 'read' from inside that forum with 'Mark Topics Read' in the top right.

Is there a time limit to post responses in the forums? I get message "The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again." and it seems to happen if I take more than X mins/secs to reply.

Dave, I see the same thing and it does appear to be a timing issue.

Yeah, I've seen it before. I can tinker with things that are time-related to see if I can set the limit a little higher.
Okay, I'm fairly sure the problem is the session length. There won't be a fix to this issue, but the form should submit correctly after you get that message.

Clicking back and resubbing does work. It can be a little frustrating. I suspect I'll get in the habit of composing reply 'offline' then pasting and posting.

I can live with it, it's a small point. Nooutlet, maybe you could add some text as information when someone opens up the dialog box for a new post or reply that explains it. Just a few words should be enough, and this should reduce any confusion.

I ended up changing the error message per pinemikey's suggestion as you will no doubt inevitably notice.
A new change to the forum is that friends and foes just became more useful! Now threads started by friends will show up as green and those started by foes will show up as reddish.
Feedback?

Oh Man.... Sorry, I'd already posted to another thread.

The reason we put someone on our ignore list is to avoid, rather than having attention called to.
I'd personally rather not see their posts at all.

I'd agree, but I'm not sure that the BB software makes provision for that. And I have to admit, I find that having them highlighted in red actually helps me to mentally filter them out more easily... though that may just be a personal thing.

Without wishing to name names, we know who's probably on more foes list than anyone else and that person usually just creates and posts to their own threads anyway. The blue text on a red background seems more "faded" to me than the text on the standard grey background, so it serves the purpose of just moving the eye along. But again, that could be a personal thing.

I'm not sure if something broke when you did that, but now I'm getting the "Oops" message on pretty much every submission. (Anyone else?) I even got it on one edit earlier today which involved me typing a handful of characters and hitting [Submit]; it took only a few seconds.

The other thing - and I'm not sure whether this was a one-off - I noticed that when I submitted my entries into the current S&T competition I simply couldn't get a preview. I kept getting the "oops" message. I had to just go ahead and submit the message, which did work.

I did one other thing while trying to get rid of that message altogether. I've changed it back and this post is testing whether that helped.
