Known Issues and Some Work Arounds
I think it would help all if we had or have a Landing Page for some issues and some of the things
we see that dont work and some of the things we have found that work. Instead of having to surf through 50 threads.
I can edit and add to them so they can see them at the top post. maybe we can help turn the boat around instead of just complaining.
You, I, and everyone, here is the reason this is a great board (BGE is just a commonality, but the people are the glue) and a great hobby, lets step to the plate and help each other like we do with our food.
Contact Email ( Understand they are as busy as they will ever be in the next week or two so please show patience)

One of the Biggest Helps for me so far has been to point my Browser to:
biggreenegg.vanillaforums.com
Highlight above Drag your mouse over it,
Right Click ,
Copy, Go up to your nvigator window right click, Paste
Save this as your favorite instead of Landing on The BGE page.
Known Log In Issues:
1. Cant Log In:
A. Uncheck The Remember Me Box
Browser Compatability
(Everyone Seems to have different Luck so Far with What Works) I would highly recomend taking the time to upgrade to the latest version, not just for the forum use but for security holes.
Here is a link to some conversation about browsers: http://biggreenegg.vanillaforums.com/discussion/1133886/what-browers-are-working-or-not#Item_34
However if you dont want to read through them all the ones that seem to work the best are
- Firefox
- Chrome
- IE 9
1. Upgrade to latest Browser
A. Microsoft http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie
B. FireFox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/
C. Safari http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
D. Opera http://www.opera.com/download/get.pl?id=33843&thanks=true&sub=true
E. Chrome http://www.google.com/chrome/index.html
Discussion Title Wont Take: Seeing "(Undefined)"
1. I havnt had good luck with the title, it disappears every time I type into it:
A. Save it to a Draft without a title then go back and re-input the title
Emoticons (Smiley Faces)
This one Falls back to Pointing your browser to the right board.

It might be helpful if everyone tried to keep stuff related to the board itself in the feedback forum. Questions about using the BGE are getting buried in posts about the new board.
But I guess if whoever is running this place isn't concerned, then I shouldn't be, either...

The only way I can log into this forum is to reset my password and log on with the email reset page sent to my email but I will try unchecking the "remember me" box.DarianThank you,DarianGalveston Texas

I agree, if we can keep the comments, feedback, gripes, accolades, etc in the feedback forum, it would help clear up the main forum for BGE cooking etc.

@oldfishinglure: Changing the user name does not work.1) Logged in using the "vanillaforums" website2) MacBook / Safari3) No problems posting original posts or replies4) Highlight the assigned user name, but when trying to type the new name, I get no characters going into the space.4) Just can't change my 'assigned' user name to my old Handle.BTW, thanks for your summary of "fixes".

Thanks the new link you provided worked for me. I am still having issues with my Droid but that I can live with. :-?
-
test for pic attaching correctly.

Thanks for this post it got me on the new forum. I had been pissed all day not being able to log on. I sent BGE an e-mail, no response yet.... Thanks again oldfishinglure.

I am testing the add image feature.I am trying to link to Photobucket. It worked the first time. You need to copy the date from the "Direct Link" line. The upside is that you see the picture in your draft.

I'm laughing at myself, don't have a clue what a navigation window is, tried google and know less now. I'll just wait and see but thanks for the help you are trying to give.Regards,BordelloI'll stick to chasing women, more up my alley.

Bordello- I think he is just referring to the address bar where you type in the URL. (If you are referring to the instructions above on how to point your browser to biggreenegg.vanillaforums.com.oldfishinglure-It might be easier if you just make that a link in your instructions above. I think the hyperlink button will work for this biggreenegg.vanillaforums.com.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
