As you are all aware, we have had a somewhat bumpy landing into our new forums software. To make the transition easier on our community, we will be keeping a public list of known and potential bugs and issues, along with their status (in progress, or solved). There is no priority assigned to issues here, but any bug or problem considered critical to forum operation will be addressed ahead of cosmetic or preference reports.
This list is dynamic. It will be updated periodically throughout normal Parallax business hours to include new reports and display status changes to existing reports, as necessary. If you feel that a report you made is not reflected here, please PM me. This list will not update outside of normal business hours, on weekends, or on holidays.
Reported Issues: Fixes in Progress or Under Consideration
opinions), not every report will be addressed. If suggestions conflict with intentional internal decisions, then no action will be taken and the issue may either be removed from the list or moved to solved.
If you have a new bug, issue, or error to report, please create a new thread in the General category and tag it with "forum-issue". Include as much relevant information about it as possible. As always, we welcome feedback from our users but we ask that it remain civil and constructive.
