I just loged into tuxradar ...

I couldn't find any link to view any posts i may have made ...

So i had to look around to find them ...

Couldn't find any means to change my pass word but did find my handle name above the post edit field box

"Your name: jjmac"

which at first i thought ... well, i suppose i could forget who i was ... but then noticed that it linked to "view use profile" ,,, this only says how long i have been registered with tuxradar ...

I'm only whining on this because i don't like my pass word and want to change it. And i can never remember what and where i post so tend to be dependant on 'view your posts' links.

In any case ...

Somebody stole my air guitar,
It happened just the other day,
But it's ok, 'cause i have a spare.

That is one of the problems of the first netbooks, however I found that the forum discussion fitted into the 800 pixel screen, it was just the ads that were outside. I could scroll up and down keeping the discussion in the screen. I think the blogs have a fixed 1024 pixel block so I don't know if this will be fixed because the newer netbooks have a 1024 pixel screen.

Hi all,

At last, we've finally got the new website up and running! We've designed it to be cleaner and faster, getting rid of the PostNuke cruft that had built up over the years. We've been fine-tuning it over the last few days, but if anyone spots any glitches, please let us know!

Cheers,
Mike

Dunno about a glitch...

But you've made it onto the sh*#list of my employers nanny software:

Mike, I think I may have spotted a minor glitch. Either that or my memory is faulty.

If you click on a forum member's name in most areas of the forum (index pages, and so on), it's a link to that member's profile. But in a thread on the left, in the 'Author' column, the names are not links. I'm sure they were in the old forum.

Or if they weren't, just ignore me. Most people do.

Is it the lack of RSS that is reducing the posts, or just that my "posts since last visit" counter isn't working? (0 posts in the last 2 days)
