Appearance of Forums Is Weird

[jakey]

Hi guys,
So I've always used Safari to use Pulse Music Board. It's just been my default browser for using the internet.

Today i've come on here to post my latest chart and noticed every post has what looks like half a side of a CD picture on the left side of the screen where the username and avatar appear. Its therefore making every post incredibly long because of these weird half circle images. They have never appeared before today so don't know what is causing them to show up.

I tried using Google Chrome and the forums look absolutely fine. Is there any way you can fix this so that Safari users like me don't have to scroll for ages just to read the next post?  :(

Thanks
Jake xx

I suspect it is a ProBoards-wide or Safari-related* issue, over which we have no control - which means no ability to do anything about. :(


*Are you a member of any other ProBoard by chance? If you are, is this issue happening on any others in Safari?

Hmm, I logged off and logged back in again and those half cd images have now disappeared. lol

At least everything looks normal at the moment.

So I was bored and browsing around today and noticed that in the 1920's Nostalgia I had the option to edit someones post:



Then I took a look at the other nostalgia sub forums and found that I could do the same in those too. It only seems to happen in the Nostalgia section.

Any thoughts Kurt ? Maybe this is a known issue?

It's because you're in the Nostalgia Helper member group, back from when several of you were moving threads into the decade subforums – I don't remember why that group needed edit permissions, but I removed them. (The move permissions are still there.)

Thanks! The edit permissions may have been there to edit old posts I'm thinking? Maybe incorrect titles and such? Obviously I never used it cause I didn't even notice until now I had the option (lol) but it may be a helpful tool when cleaning up the threads/subforums. Your call, no big deal to me. :)

Technically, Unhinged, you can edit someone just by quoting them. I don't know why that is, but I have only done it once.

True. I was just a little surprised to see the "edit" button.

That threw me off as well. I wonder why it was instated for the Nostalgia Forum.
