When I get to the homepage (not the forums), on the top of the page there is the "Forums" button highlighted instead of the "Home" one.

Clicking on the "Forums" button, however, will take me correctly to the forums.

Very true

I hope you're joking on the second one jr2

[Tyrian]

No, he's not.  I have the same problem in both of those screenshots.

[jr2]

BTW prolly important info:
hard-light.net looks different on IE, FF, and AOL Explorer (IE + extra stuff from AOL)
I'm using FireFox 2.0.0.1 for those screenies (as you can see!)

There's nothing wrong with the second pic.

[jr2]

...and I even circled it for you!!

[fsi.scsi]

uhh.. so the "Home" tab is active when you're posting.

That is bad.. how?

[Tyrian]

I'm a perfectionist.   

[haloboy100]

well other then that, i am also getting other problems. mantis is not appeearing on the top banner(which is PARTICULAIRLY bad since i really need to post another problem), and i noticed under "hosted" there are a number of new sites....that are 4 YEARS OLD.

That's not a bug, it's saying "you are in the forums and not profiles, calendar, members, etc."  That's the way SMF works.

Fixt.

That was the HLP Mantis, which was removed because 1) it was never used for HLP-related problems; and 2) we now have the Support forum, which is what the HLP Mantis was designed to do in the first place.

If you were looking for the SCP Mantis, it's listed at the SCP option under External Sites.

and i noticed under "hosted" there are a number of new sites....that are 4 YEARS OLD.

They're still hosted.

[haloboy100]

thats the thing. if there 4 years old, then how come only NOW your hosting them?

[Goober5000]

They've been there the whole time.  The toolbar just never linked to them before.

[haloboy100]

but still, why only NOW add them to the toolbar?

Mantis was never really used by hosted projects (their loss), that's true. But Mantis had/has totally different purpose from a support board. You as an SCP member should know that.

This is just a guess:
Because Goob can now take a break from SCP coding now that 3.6.9 is out, so he has time to catch up on some old stuff.

Of course, a bigger list always looks better you know.

Because I only NOW got access to edit it.  I've wanted to add them for a while.

Considering how it was never used by anyone for HLP-specific problems, it was almost universally confused with the SCP mantis, and HLP problems are policy issues better suited to discussion and consensus than reporting and fixing, I fail to see its usefulness.  What was the "different purpose" you had in mind?

[Fury]

Eh, it's purpose was to provide a common bug-reporting system to hosted projects. I don't know where you ever got the impression it should've been used to report HLP problems, there were never even categories for that. Since it was never used, I don't care if its completely removed though.
