Anonymous posts need authorising by staff/ moderators to appear, if they don't meet the criteria or the moderators understanding of the criteria of a thread then the post will likely be deleted and either never shown or deleted and left as a empty post. Your question as been repeatedly brought up by quite a few people, seems like there is a new thread or post on the this well covered issue several times a week.

On the "My ATS" page, what previous appeared as three columns, now appears as two. Recent posts from each forum in one column on the left (it used to be two columns), and subscribed threads on the right. There's a big gap between the two columns.

This used to happen whenever someone with a really long user name replied to a thread; now its happening all the time, for the last week or two.

This may be a minor issue, but maybe other people are experiencing it, too? Or is it just my browser?

What's going on when another member's posts have vanished? The member isn't listed as banned.

Never mind I figured it out.

That has happened before and is usually the result of a member with an unusually long member name that has posted and shown up in your "My ATS".

If their name is really long, it tends to "break" the formatting and cause the normal three columns to get shuffled into two.

Semper

Is anyone else getting an error with the Reply to function? What I am talking about is that for some reason it's not working as it should. Instead of directing you to the post that the member is replying to it directs you to the first page of the thread.

Is this an issue on my end, or are yall getting this too?

Check your url. If there's an apostrophe at the end of the url, buttons like "this post" and "reply to", etc. won't work properly. If you accessed the page via MyATS, there might be an apostrophe at the end of the url. Hope that made sense.

it does, but what I am referring to is like in your reply to me, click on the "post by whatukno" in blue and see what happens.

I get the first page of the thread and not the post that is being replied to.

I see. The links says "pg" instead of "pg28". Then it takes you to the first page instead. Looks like a bug.

Doin a little test to see if you add the page number if it works properly...

Yep, it's a bug. if you add the appropreate page number in front of the pg before the # sign the link works correctly.

Two weeks and counting... the longest name currently on my "My ATS" list is 'illusionsaregrander' (nothing personal). Is that length of user-name causing anyone else's page to be incorrectly formatted, or just mine?
