Okay, so strange smilie problems...

The  has been replaced by an orange X, the  and  are exactly the same, and some of the little green PM scrolls now have an  face instead. Plus, on the "more" pop-up, the face looks like a face. WHY?!?!

(I'm using colourful on a phone, BTW)

That's strange. I haven't seen anything like this; as you're the first one to write about it, I'd guess that it's a problem with the phone you're using's settings. I'm not sure what I'd recommend to fix it, past the usual emptying the cache and all of that.

How can it be abused?

I'm not going to go into a lot of depth here, but one possibility is that somebody could post up topics that are controversial or violate the rules, then try to wipe out any paper trail' down the road (so they can then claim that it never happened). Right now, people can edit things out, but that topic or post would still be there as evidence that something was said at some point that they wanted to 'take back'.

Is the forum slow at loading for anyone else?

[The Skarzs]

I occasionally have issue, but that has more to do with my own internet connection, I think.

[Skyblade]

I'm not experiencing that problem. I think its Wifi or computer speed causing the trouble, not the forum itself.

[Lord Daskar]

I have that problem sometimes. But I do use an ancient Windows XP laptop.

[Rosie Willowwater]

It might be my wifi then

Mmm, I remember mine doing that on Monday as well. And it does do it occasionally for me, but then again I have a laptop that's as old as I am and using an Internet cable, soo. . . . .

Whenever I try to go back a few pages on the "Mentions" tab, it takes me back to my profile page. Which I find rather odd!

[The Skarzs]

Look in your profile tab, and you'll see mentions there.

[Delthion]

Yes, but if I try to go back to the second or third page of my mentions it takes me back to the summary.

[Lord Daskar]

I does that for me too, Del.

[James Gryphon]

Hmm, I'll see if I can get a patch for that in later.

Hey, James, the upcoming birthdays are still displayed on the homepage even when I'm logged out.

Are there any areas only a select few member are allowed to see on the forums?
