At least things are getting fixed.

Good thing I discovered the bug now, instead of later... We still have 2 months to fix things up before we have to move here.

Message Walls are getting replaced in April, but they won't be replaced with Discussions.. Something else. Though given our luck, it's probably going to be just like Discussions. If we're lucky, and it's better, I do have an idea for a workaround.. Though we should probably keep trying to get a stable form of these forums.

Perhaps when we're all done, one of us can give a set of instructions on how to properly use it:The current help page is outdated-It was probably true back in 2009 or so, but now things have changed, with the only change being "Hey, we generally recommend using Discussions instead of this!" After all, going strictly by that page is what made be break things in the first place... (Clicked new thread, typed in my post, put in 4 tildes for a signature...)

A look at the page history will help reveal what I've done over time. You'd see that it started with that, then lead to me copying code from a legit reply to try and recreate the reply.

But if we make it clear how to use the system now, then things won't accidentally break. Though that should probably happen around maybe early or mid-March. After all, when we still have time to fix things, it's better to search for glitches so they can be patched. Then there'll be less glitches, and it'll be harder to break things.

...If they're patchable, that is.

Edit 1:There, I changed my preference. I think I'll use my Round 3 thread to see if it works. I'd rather have that break then the thread that you worked to fix. I'd rather have a "disposable" forum that I do my testing around with. So if I break things, I don't break the main forum that everyone will be using in April.

...Like I did the first time. (At least that means we found the bug so it can be patched. Yay?)

Edit 2:Nope, things still broke. The actual reply was created, but it didn't show up on the forum, and it still thinks the reply wasn't created, so I can't make more. I'm still breaking things. Good thing I restricted it to the test forum... The more bugs I find, the more bugs we can fix in order to make the forums actually usable.

But you were able to fix it, and your posts worked just fine. I must have done something differently than you.. I just clicked on "Reply", and typed in my response just under the "Enter your post/reply here", and above the "Don't mess with this".

Is there an extra step I missed?

If there is, then I'm probably not the only one who's going to miss the extra step, considering that it wasn't really clarified.

Edit 3:REPLY. Not "New Thread". How I got the two confused, I'm not sure. But "New Thread" would make a whole page entirely, so you might have already known I didn't mean that.

Edit 2 has been retroactively changed, so if you didn't notice that mistake, this is why.
