The favicon online is correct (www.picaxeforum.co.uk/favicon.ico) but different browsers do locally cache and use them in different ways, so you probably have an old locally cached file. Often adding a new bookmark will 'refresh' the list.
Welcome to the updated forum
- Thread starter Technical
- Start date
New bookmark and restarting the browser hasn't put the new ones there yet. On the first appearance of the new favicon, the changeover was quite prompt. How long before I pointed it out had the old favicon been restored?
The PICAXE favicon has been there since a couple of days after the forum changed across.
If using Firefox as previously mentioned physically type this in the URL bar:
www.picaxeforum.co.uk/favicon.ico
Cancel out of any 'save' msg that may appear. Click refresh button at end of URL bar -this prompts FF a new icon is there.
Worked for us on FF6.0

The refresh option is disabled.Do you know where the icons are locally cached since I might be able to change it manually.

I've been gone a week or so. When I go to the link " http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/search.php?do=getnew ", it shows me some posts that I have not read.
However, I know there has been MANY posts since I was last on. I've noticed this behavior since the new forum was put in place.
Is there a problem with keeping track of logon's? I never logoff if that is pertinent..

Just a little comment on the Forum display.
I assume this depends on PC setups and maybe browser?
After I logged in (after a break) I happend to glance and squint at the "Notifications".
Through the dark grey box I saw "Notifications 2" in black text.
Not easy to read.
Could this be changed to a mid-red box please - or, if you are determined to keep grey, could you lighten it up?
Black text on a dark grey background is hard to read and , for a ninny like me, goes un-noticed.

On this page: http://www.rev-ed.co.uk/picaxe/data.asp?mode=all . What is the difference between AXE001, AXE002 and AXE003?
If I refer to the latest manual1, which AXE*** number should I use?
Also...
The main three manuals used to be easily accessed from the forum toolbar. Now they are hidden in a list of other documents. Please can we have the latest 'main three' Picaxe manuals on the toolbar?

I just tried to post into a thread and when I refresh the page, my post is not there. So I refresh again and again. No post. So I post the same thing again. Do I stay on the page or leave it? I try leaving it. Still no post. So I post again. And refresh. And post again. And refresh.
How do I post and rely on it being posted?

The topic relating to seeking a separate dropdown menu just for the three primary manuals has been raised in posts 69 and 87 of this thread already.
AXE001, AXE002 and AXE003 are seemingly just numbers used repeatedly for various documentation. See both the top and bottom of the list
I have long ago mentioned that the list as now linked for manuals and datsheets needs some remedial work. The lines as below are far from clear if one tries to use the AXE codes at the left for any form of reference.
AXE001 was was a number assigned to the 28X1 Starter Pack based upon the AXE020 board.
In a past life,
AXE001 was the original PICAXE 28 Starter Pack and the AXE002 was the original PICAXE 18 starter pack and AXE003 was seemingly the original PICAXE 08 Starter Pack:

I'm finding this new updated forum software to be a bit of a pain, I've seen lots of Database Error's and recently more of the "Leave Page / Stay On Page" popup request after clicking "Post Quick Reply", I press "Leave Page" and it gives me a warning about waiting 30 seconds before posting again because it thinks I tried to post twice.
Vbulletin have broken their software, and they don't believe the "Leave Page / Stay On Page" thing with duplicate posts is a bug
I've taken to typing my posts out in Notepad first, then copy'n'pasting it into this forum otherwise I'm likely to lose what I wrote because of the Database Error problem and vbulletin problems/issues.

Yes!Ever thought of a career in software testing Nick?
I wonder if Rev-Ed could put me up to a part-time job that is simply nitpicking at every aspect of their software and correcting whatever I find?
This feature still doesn't work as (I) expected. Isn't the purpose of the Quick Navigation box to take the user to the top listed destination with only one click (as opposed to selecting a destination from the pull down menu)?
To build upon this comment, a typical screen resolution for a netbook is 1024x600 and when re-sizing the browser to this size, that huge notification for the mobile app overlaps the 'welcome' text and it would also seem that the forum is designed for a minimum horizontal resolution of 1024 but the size of the scroll bars are not taken into account so a horizontal scroll bar always appears at the bottom.
I know it's been suggested that any problems need to be taken up with vBulletin themselves but the minimum width thing, couldn't that just be fixed with a find-and-replace for 1024 in the forum code?
I sense sarcasm!
But never mind! I just got Adblock Plus to block the image and now it's no more! The scroll bar issue is still there.

Martin - if you use the iPhone/iPad PICAXE Forum 'app' instead of a browser, you can do exactly that.Yes. I agree. It's quite atrocious that this can be allowed to happen. It's really spoilt my day. Just look at this...quite unbelievable...

This time it's about this thread: http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?19926-MIDI-wireless-touch-pad-guitar-PICAXE!
The replies counter on the main PICAXE Forum thread list thing says that there are 7 replies, but there are actually only 7 posts and the replies figure for all the other threads is one less than the number of posts in the thread like it should be but for that thread it isn't. As a result, because I could not read post number 8, the thread would remain marked as unread after I read it until I double-clicked the icon on the forums list. The time and author of the last post (Hippy at 20:16) was the same on both the thread list/'Active Forum' and in the thread itself.
So what caused this and is the same happening for anyone else? I've also tried Ctrl+F5.

Probably that I deleted a duplicated reply in that thread so there is now one less than there was and some part of the forum software on the server hasn't caught up with that.
Daylight saving time is still on. At least here!
