Yay! I hope it's the BT one. Have you scheduled in the avatar removal yet?

Yes, but I can't tell you why I'm doing it.

I have had a drummer mate look at the site and complain, but I think most drummers are on Mike Dolbear and are unlikely to come on here when nearly everyone is a guitarist. 

The Drum section etc on MR was pretty much dead, so I didn't see the point of replicating it as ghost town boards make the place look bad. 

Anything which keeps the Dolbeareans where they are gets my vote :-)

I hate how drafts work.

There should be a facility to discard a draft on the same page that you post from.

I currently have to click on my profile name and then go to drafts and then click the little x.

Simply ignore them until you have a few to discard at once.

So do I. especially the way it auto saves them when I don't want it to.  Tbh,  if I wanted to save a draft, I'd click the "Save Draft" button next to the "Post Comment" button.

This is what I currently do- but I'd like it a bit neater, if possible.

More annoying than anything, but for the last few days when I click on a link from the Notifications section it takes me to the page but logs me off the site, a 'Howdy Stranger' moment.

When I click on the facebook icon to log back in I get a window with this message in...

{
   "error": {
      "message": "Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.",
      "type": "OAuthException",
      "code": 191
   }
}

..and can't log back in until I close the tab and open a new session - where I am immediately logged back in

I'm on Firefox under XP at the moment, but have had the same with FF on Win7

I usually go striaght to the recent discussions page....    but the section titles don't make it obvious whether a post is in the gear or classified section for amps, guitars and fx.
I know people usually put FS etc as the thread title but if they don't then it's not obvious -  any chance of making it more clear which section a thread is in?  (or am I just being lazy lol)

I agree, I think it'd be best if the "in" link would include both category and sub-category, as in  "Gear - Guitars",  "Classified - Guitars", etc...

The info is in the linktree at the top of each page. (just under the logo)  For example for this thread it says it's in Chat, Meta.

Indeed once you click on a thread you can see it but by that point you can see the post....   I'm referring to the list of threads you see when you click "recent discussions"  If the OP doesn't start the subject with FS or FT etc then you can't tell if it's in the classified or discussion area....   unless I'm missing something obvious?

No, you're not (part deux).

Sorry, I was jumping in without reading your post properly.  I see exactly what you mean now.  I guess that's what happens when the boards in different categories have exactly the same names. Hopefully the guys will find a workaround for this in the next batch of fixes.

I'm having this same 'problem' (maybe 'minor inconvenience' would be more realistic - but this is the internet, dammit!).

Might I suggest just changing the category headings slightly to differentiate between gear and classifieds? Maybe 'Guitar Trades', 'Amp Trades', 'FX Trades' in the classifieds?

A "Subscribed Thread" button or tab would be good.

So we can keep abreast of updates to threads we've contributed to.

+1 that would be handy

There should be a "my bookmarks" link under your avatar; if you click that it'll show all the discussions to which you've subscribed.

^ yeah you can bookmark threads with the wee star button at the top right. you still have to manually subscribe, though? some form of automatic subscription for any thread you've posted in would be excellent. any of the other suggestions I've made are very much "in a perfect world, but I can live without them", but I still find myself forgetting to manually subscribe to threads I've posted in )

monquixote

Personally auto subscribing would do my head in.

As an option, I mean.
