The 'edit tags' link seems hideously broken, at least on Firefox 2.

When I click it, it creates a text input box at the bottom margin of the browser window, but only the top portion of the box is visible, and there are no controls or labels visible. I can't scroll the area that includes this box, and if I try to resize the browser window to make more of it visible, it promptly vanishes.

Meanwhile, as I edit this post, I clicked on 'Select Tags...', and this created a pseudo-pop-up box with black text on a midnight-blue background, which is a bit too unreadable for my poor human vision.

Oo-er!

So, I put 'forum problem tagging' in the Tags input box, thinking that it would work like del.icio.us, where each word becomes a separate tag. However, the forum appears to have treated the whole input line as a single tag, which looks stupid as forum problem tagging . And I find I can't fix this, because '[Edit tags]' gives me a text input box that thwarts all my attempts at editing it, while 'Edit' on the post leads to an Oops server error message.

So, can some kind system administrative elf please fix my post by either deleting the tag, or converting it into three, as I intended? Thanks.

Meanwhile, what is supposed to be the way to enter multiple tags? Separated by commas? Quoted?

It's not a bug, it's a feature [;)]. This way it is possible to make multi word tags. To separate the tags, please use a comma between the words.

 Done. 

Thanks.

By the way, I notice that the favicon for the community pages is different from the rest of the site, and doesn't resemble the VSL logo; is this intentional?

Please clear the cache of your Browser. Then it should be ok. Or you just wait for some more days, until your Browser refreshes its cache automatically.

thanks for the notice ... accounts merged (a bug showed up not adding the number of posts from both accounts, will be fixed)

cm, it's a bit depressing to have the 1000+ posts omitted....

Sorry for the inconvience. We are working on it. Please give us some more days. 

 Update:

I am now posting from Netscape 7.1 and I DO see the buttons and I definitely  can use underline, bold etc.

These do NOT work in Safari for some reason. [8o|]

I couldn't even get the smileys in Safari, so I was not able to fully express my frustration....

Should be working now (at least better). We are aware that there are still some posts missing. Still working on that issue. 

the forum software transition as such is finished (all posts and private messages are imported and in order) and we have already been able to merge a lot of double accounts which initially could not be identified.

however there are still a few issues left (like the safari-edit-bug) and we will work that out step by step.

thanks to you all for the patience - please direct request for change of automatically generated usernames and outdated email addresses to community@vsl.co.at
