doesn't it make sense that the intermediate action be to the left of the final action?

Yes, a whole heap of sense. But when has that ever figured largley in our community design? :P 

it makes sense in theory, but those of us who've posted on qboard/qmap/func are used to submit as the first button. 

We're used to it being the LAST button.

Get your facts straight. 

"HALF-LIFE 2 - All 226, Last 25, New 4"

Yet, when I clicked on the "New 4" link, I only saw 2 posts. 

I was thinking it'd be nice to have a section somewhere here (at the top with the nav) that has a list of links to good resources on mapping and/or essential maps/packs to get.

Stuff like these articles:

I can't load all the posts in the GA thread. Loading too many gives an Internal Server Error. start=59 will work (when the total posts equaled 6930) but start = 58 won't.

Granted, most previous posts are just babbelings about bugs and things when the site was new, but this could become more of an issue as the thread increasingly grows bigger. 

yeah, i think there's some sort of page size or query size limit on the new server... I'll have to look into it. 

...Or add "First 1000" etc links. �_� 

maybe you should replace 'Preview' and 'Submit' buttons with each other, I mean it should look:

[Submit] [Preview] 

it makes sense the way it is because you go from left to right, start with preview then submit. 

a good point, but I usually don't use preview fuction and I'm used to the left position of the submit button as it was with 'submit' and 'reset' buttons 

Why not just one button, submit or whatever, which automatically goes through a preview stage prior to actually submitting, requiring you to press submit the second time to confirm, like, sought of, kinda thing ? No, oh well......... 

/\/\/\
would i want to preview a short message like that? :P 

Wrote post in Film Thread (post #1010). Hit submit, page reloaded, my new post wasn't there. Retyped post from memory, hit submit, and there is the second one as post #1011.

Func_Msgboard ate my post. 

WinXP SP2, Firefox 1.0. 

so this is a confirmed case of a phantom post being caused by data loss? 

Correctamundo. 

Half the time I type a post and hit submit, and the form clears without making a post. Refreshing does nothing. 

metlslime, I've just figured out at least one reason that null posts are being formed. Somehow when I load a thread, sometimes there won't be an icon selected by default in the Post A Reply area. If I hit submit after typing a post but without rectifying the no-icon-selected problem, it increases the thread post count without adding a new post.

I tested this just now in the Stories thread, and that's what happened (it's post #31). I tried making a post before it (post #30) which resulted in a null post, but I don't remember whether an icon was selected or not. 

jiggers! 

jiggers! 

Yeah, I loaded the page at first and none of the radio items were selected, and the post wouldn't post.

Good work detective RPG! 

here's what I saw in the faq page:
There are 4 registered users online right now: , blitz, Kell and PuLSaR.

What does comma do before the blitz's name?
Or there an invisible user around here? 

I always travel with a 2 person entourage...today I've brought the Invisible Man along with me.
