I am going to collate the reported issues to date in this thread. Feel free to add new ones as they appear, and advise if any of these are solved, so I can mark them accordingly, but do not add any other editorial comments please!
1. search only finds posts since upgrade
2. When viewing a thread the forum rules link has moved to the quick navigation drop down. Not an issue as such, more an observation.
3. "Quick Links" - should always be available - If you use "New posts" it isn't there......
4. The icon for Excel attachments is broken. The linked image http://www.excelforum.com/images/attach/xls.gif does not seem to exist. This happened before the upgrade, too, at least in the "child of ..." skin.
5. Same icons for WATER COOLER and other posts?
6. Used IE7 sometimes receive error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function prepare_blog_category_permissions() in /home/eforum/public_html/includes/blog_init.php on line 32
7. See also problem here with attached workbook which doesn't seem to exist
http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...=1#post2657334
I'm seeing the 'Page not found' message
8. I can't see any of the Quick Reply buttons (such as Link, Email, Italic, etc.) when using Skylight skin.
9. I post this formula in a question
=FIXED(2.999)&"-"&FIXED(4.354)
when I copy and paste it it looks like this
1. =FIXED(2.999)&"-"&FIXED(4.354)
10. if you want to see your old posts you should go to yr profile and then "find latest posts" (if you are lucky!). well, it's not my case ))...but anyway, it's annoying.
and what is that "auto-saved"?
11. i cant find earlier posts ...........i went to my profile and did latest post but it does not show my earlier posts..............any ideas?
12. In the skylight no reputation visible.
13. The currently active user list (at the bottom of the forum's index page) does not wrap when the window is narrowed. In IE8, at least.
14. Most of the screen is now being occupied by useless information.

hi romperstomper,
15. I get the following error while trying to enter Excel Programming from the Main forum page:
Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator
I did notify yesterday and today though I suppose there is much work besides those messages.
Cheers

17. Several of the main links on the forum homepage (http://www.excelforum.com/index.php) do not work (e.g. Excel General and Excel Programming). This is what appears in the URL line at the top of IE (http://www.excelforum.com/a/).

18. When I edit posts and press Save, the post does not appear. It's as if it was deleted. Then I refresh the page and it is magically there.

19. When I navigate to the main forum page (URL is http://www.excelforum.com/), the tab name in Internet Explorer becomes just "E". Presumably it should be "Excel Help Forum" or similar.
However, I noted that the tab name is correct if I navigate to http://www.excelforum.com/index.php

20. If I click on Edit post (to edit my post, obviously) and click SAVE, I can no longer see my post on the thread. I have to refresh the page to be able to see it.
21. When I am logged in, I can still see a link to register in the top right-hand corner of the page next to the "log out" link. This option should be removed to help declutter the page.
22. DB Error when trying to edit post (e.g. http://www.excelforum.com/editpost.p...49&do=editpost).

25. The Blog is confusing new users. They are posting their Excel questions there... and I (or maybe we) are not going to answer/moderate them!
