the "at" freezing thing sounds like an environmental issue to me. can't say i have ever seen that on my end, but it seems likely to be relating to available memory for your browser though. i imagine the member list would be loaded client side for this kind of functionality, so a slower computer or less efficient browser (for any of various reasons) may struggle with that on a large site like this one. will have to see if others are having the same problem, and then maybe see if there's a way to change how that functionality works if necessary. im assuming it queries the members table in the database, so there might be a way to speed things up there (username might not be indexed, for example) or possibly rework the site code to only execute the query if you press tab or enter or something. not sure. id have to look at the code behind that feature.

images in the member list is a fair complaint (and we can probably force resizing there, something to look at)
though you can still sort alphabetically, just by clicking username (like how one might sort files in windows explorer, for example)
here is a link of this functionality in action: https://forums.sim-football.com/memberlist.php?perpage=30&sort=username&order=ascending

also the search function does allow you to search for posts by a specific user, there is an option right there in the interface


or you could just click "find all posts" in their user profile


as far as i can tell, last post is visible in the subforum


but if you resize the browser window to be smaller, it disappears.

this is likely part of the responsive design to prevent side scrolling (side scrolling bad) and only show the most relevant information. pretty standard stuff, but i guess if this is an issue for people, the site design can probably be changed to show this information at narrower widths still. would probably have to experiment to see what widths work without it being too cluttered (and tbh we might already be at optimum)

the text box does autoscroll when i hit enter on the last line, so again, i suspect this is an environmental issue specific to whatever browser and settings you have. maybe if others have the same issue we can look at commonalities and figure out if there is something that can be done on the site itself, but i doubt it tbh. we'd have to replicate the behaviour before we can even attempt a fix, probably.

i dont understand what you mean about editing posts. i almost always quick edit and i can still see the other posts in the thread.
if you're doing a full edit, that would explain it... but thats what the quick edit option is for. so you can see in-line with the thread. not really sure this can be changed (or if it needs to tbh)




sounds to me like most of your complaints arent actually bugs tbh.

as for benefits that this forum software has that jcink doesnt... well, without even going into the numerous flaws jcink has, i can sum things up in one sentence: we can customise this, and we couldnt customise jcink. so, if there are things causing problems, when they are raised and the source identified, they can be addressed. we can quite literally add pretty much anything we want here that jcink doesnt have, if people want/need it. that was literally the point of the move. i know this because i was the one who pushed for it and explained those exact benefits.

obviously though, people need to raise issues for them to be addressed. a similar issue came up when you had complaints about the wiki. i had no idea you had a problem, so i couldnt address it. if you speak up about a problem, it can be addressed. if you don't... how does anyone with the ability to help, know you had a problem?
