You know that annoying problem with the forums? It didn't fix itself. Obviously, it sends an email to the technical staff place, but I figure that since I'm posting something else, might as well say it.

Secondly, I have been trying to rep a person. It says that I need to spread rep around. However, out of like 8 people, I get this message on all but one. So maybe the threshold could be lowered, just a little? Because something this high encourages random repping so that you can rep the person you really want to.

Or it prevents people from constantly repping one person. Rep is all good and fine but ultimately it doesn't mean anything. There's no need to mess with a system that's just there for no real actual reason.

Secondly, I have never gotten this forum problem. I get it when the forums go down, or when there's some sort of actual error, but as for just normal navigation, I have no clue what this is all about. You could try logging out/in again or something. Beyond that, I got nothin'. Pierre probably isn't going to know what to do either with the small amount of information given.

Fine, I guess I can live with rep as is. I know it really doesn't mean anything, but to me it's an easy way to show approval or disapproval of a post without bogging the thread down with posts. It just makes me mad when a person makes two good posts within a certain peroid of time, and then I can't rep them without either deliberately repping others or going back through the archives or whatnot. PM's do the same thing, I guess.

See this thread (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showthread.php?p=292791) for details on what's happening. The forums weren't really 'down,' it was more like a hiccup in the system. An error message comes up telling you there was a minor error and that you should refresh. Once you do, the page usually comes up. So while it's not that big of an annoyance usually, it might have the potential to cause a problem. Because a couple of times it just failed to connect to the site. Just thought you'd like to know, sorry if I'm being annoying.

im having a problem with the some of the forums as well. Ill look at the mainpage and it shows a topic in the OFF TOPIC section of the forum that particularily interested me (Meister is a busy man) as it was the most recently posted in thread. so naturally that topic shows up on the main page right. well i clicked on the OFF TOPIC button incase there were other recent threads in there that particularily interest me. When i get into the OFF TOPIC section all i see is topics from a few days ago (i know i posted in one of them) but havent updated like brought in new threads onto the page (like the Meister is a busy man thread). Same thing happened to me just now with the TELL THE ADMIN forum. it didnt show me Krylo's thread in there but it showed krylos thread as in there on the Mainpage due to it being the most recently posted in thread in that section of the forum.
