So how does it work exactly? Is it kind of like an "ignore" feature, meaning I won't see the posts of my foes?
This post was made by ********* who is currently on your ignore list. Display this post.

No and no. Why, you want to be ignored?

Oh he was finally banned? Excellent.

But I've been having that problem for months. This is new, and I don't understand it. So far I've tried four different browsers on three machines, including IE5.5(!) on my Win2K box. I don't think it's a cookie issue because one of those machines had never visited TR before. It's like I'm blacklisted or something.I couldn't post either - when I tried, the whole comment area disappeared. Yes, I checked to see if the comment was there by refreshing.
Then again, the comment area is extremely sluggish, and doesn't work 100% correctly on Opera... it hasn't worked quite right since we moved to TR 2.0.

I installed the new version yesterday evening. Does your password have any particularly odd characters in it? Can you try changing your password to the forums?

PerfectCr wrote:Yeah, that's the guy. If there was an announcement, I missed it... perhaps it happened somewhere in the middle of one of those 100+ post front page comment flamefests regarding AMD or Intel -- the ones I never visit.Really? Was there some type of announcement? This is the due who goes back and edited out his post so they are blank right?

You fail at the internets.

Actually, it looks like there are some issues with searching. For some reason I don't think the new version of phpBB is searching threads that were created in the old version. We'll have to look into this.

sroylance wrote:Yeah, I tried that. I also tried using a different machine and browser that I had never before used to view TR, so there couldn't have been any lingering cookies. Perhaps I'll have to register a different persona strictly for posting on the front page...Jazz uses the phpbb users database, so it should always be in exact sync with your password for the forums. Have you tried clearing your cache and cookies? There are some cookies that jazz uses that might be causing problems.
