I cannot rep posts

Hi,

 

Top welcome banner overlays CAG banner/icon and is left aligned outside CAG banner area

A couple of times I've seen this on the New Posts search page.

[SteveH2508]

Don't know where all of the other HTML garbage came from - it does not show on preview!

[gerson]

The initial logon/welcome screen has the 'login' button and 'remeber me' tick box overlayed resulting in the login button to be ignored (cannot 'click on it'). Only the 'enter' key allows login capability.

This shows on 'New Posts' at the moment for me.....

 

From Vodafone Customer Services. Mr XXXX has asked to confirm the status of account XXXXX, which was previously showing as overdue and outstanding. We would like to confirm that this account has been fully paid up to date and the outstanding balance was an error on our behalf. We apologise for any inconvenience involved. We will now take the necessary actions to remove the defunct notice on Mr XXXXX credit score."[/size][/font] I last used the account in 2006, and it was paid up to date. I moved later that year. I probably cancelled the direct debit in 2008 or so. They say in 2009 for some reason the direct debit was tried to be reestablished and because I had cancelled my end, a penalty charge of 24 pounds was put on my account erroneously and then they put late markers and a default on the account. Given their note above I thought all would be well, except, today I received an Equifax Alert that stated my Vodafone account was in default, and checking online the default is listed as 240,000 pounds! I'm absolutely terrified of the devastating effect this will have with my other lenders. It amounts to serious defamation of character, and I can only imagine how another lender might react to such a risk! What recourse might I have? I've sent the webteam email as per the instructions. Simes123">Vodafone admit default mistake and default me to 24,000 pounds.***Complaint Resolved***

 

I cut and pasted but the actual view I get of the above has HTML code in a number of places for font changes etc--pasteing it above doesn't show thw HTML??

Hi bookie

 

your version looks better!...'A picture paints a thousand words'

[Wilma Shoozfit]

I couldn't get on at all yesterday evening - now this morning on new posts the first 3 threads in the "view column" the letters and numbers are listed 1 per row. Oh and the titles are still sliced off half way down

 

Hope you can understand that - I don't know how to put a screen shot into a post -

 

Cheers wils

As I have previously stated, I use CAG a lot at work where we have IE6. We cannot change this as only the IT department can upgrade or install software, so telling me to upgrde is not an option. I suffer from enlarged screens, no date of posting showing and most of the other problems previously stated. Is there going to be a solution that does not start with "you need to upgrade" or "use firefox" etc?

Hi Woody

 

Short answer is the issue is being worked on by Webby and the Site Team. Its a major upgrade and despite best intentions and preparatory work its inevitable that there will be some issues.

 

Please bear with it during the next while, as normal service will be resumed.

 

Please continue to post any issues/ glitches/ concerns on this thread as Marc said earlier.

Hi Forest

 

Yes, I see what you mean.

I would really appreciate, someone who has problems with IE6 or 7 to list the address(es) and problems with those addresses in a list going from 'Makes the site difficult to use' to 'would make it look nicer'

 

AFAIK Chrome is now very useable with only a few aesthetic issues (well that's all I have seen)

[Bookworm]

I concur with GH, spot-on, Chrome is just about right.

does adding rep work for you Bookie? Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't. It acknowledges I've clicked (as it won't let me click twice) but I don't get the pop-up box to write the message in.

 

Want to know whether it is Chrome or my setup

I have the same issue on ie8... cannot single click the star... cometimes I need to tripple click it to take

Yep, works fine for me. To start with there were a couple of times where the drop down would be hidden behind the name of the following poster, but hasn't happened since.

 

 

... as you both can now see. Rep whores all of you.

Where can I find ''Link Back''?

[letsdothis]

Where can I find ''Link Back''?

 

I am pretty sure that has gone now, as that was a part of vBSEO which CAG no longer uses, so it is just a case of copying the URL from your browser now.
