Ash said he had a friend that signed up so he could stalk him.

Another bug: Clicking on any message in the message tab opens the top message, no matter what. I'm using the conversations option, so that PM chains are put into one link.

I had that too. You'll need to just change settings to "display all PMs at once"

Is there any other was to actually solve the problem instead of circumventing it?

Well, here's a post I made on the subject at the SMF forum:

Noticed something interesting, testing it again today.

There are two options in the "Personal Messaging" profile setting section, "Show most recent conversation at top of list", and "Show most recent personal messages in conversation at top".

If you have one of these options checked, but not the other, it will reliably trigger the bug as described in my previous post. You start out at the top of the page, with no jump.

If you have both or neither checked, however, you can view any conversation normally. However, after loading that conversation, it then jumps you a currently unpredictable distance down the page.

My analysis of what happens depending on what checkboxes are checked:
Unchkd./U
Loading any conversation works
1st page is oldest conversations, 14 is newest
Jumps down after opening conversation
Inside convo, bottom of page is newest PM

Chckd./C
Loading any conversation works
1st page is newest conversations, 14 is oldest
Jumps down after opening conversation
Inside convo, bottom of page is oldest PM

C/U
Conversation loaded is always the one at the top of the page of conversations
1st page is newest conversations, 14 is oldest
No jump
Inside convo, bottom of the page is oldest PM

U/C
Conversation loaded is always the one at the top of the page of conversations
1st page is oldest conversations, 14 is newest
No jump
Inside convo, bottom of the page is newest PM

So, having the first box unselected and the second one checked is no different from having both boxes unselected, and it breaks your ability to pick any conversation besides the one at the top of the list; conversely, checking the first box but not the second one is exactly the same as checking both boxes, but also breaks picking conversations.

I don't know what the cause of any of this is, but hopefully somebody who has a better knowledge of this mod than me can figure out the underlying problems.

So check both?

[James Gryphon]

That should work.

Alternatively, you can take Groddil's advice, which also works.

@James Gryphon Did you change the post rankings again?

[James Gryphon]

Yeah. I adjust it when I'm about to move from "Gatekeeper".

Is something wrong with the forum, or is it just me?

[James Gryphon]

I don't know. Could you be more specific?
