Issues and possible bugs found by users in upgraded Forum

Dear Uncle Adobe,

I was advised by Todd to tell you about a bug found, but was unable to find dedicated thread, so I start my own - don't judge strictly.

I found out that after opening two or three threads Internet Explorer 9 ceases to open next ones in a new window or a new tab and just hangs in an attempt, whereas keeps opening them in the same tab (by just clicking on a link)...

Issue doesn't exist in other browsers (FireFox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari)...

Another one: Hyperlinks do not appear in IE8's status bar. I don't like to click on a link if I don't know where it'll lead me.

I fired up an XP VM and I see what you mean.  Interesting!  SOME of them show up in IE8 (for example if you hover over a person's avatar) but most do not.  It must have something to do with the script that runs on hover.

For what it's worth, I *am* able to see previews of all the URLs here in the status bar of IE9.

Given that IE10 is already being previewed, perhaps it's time to consider moving up?  FYI, the URL previews for links here do show up okay in the status bar of IE10 as well.

I've noticed the new forum will refresh (blink) one to two times before settling down. I've already reported and the system-admin has already verified I have tries on 8 different web broswers happens on all. I don't have IE as I us a Mac.

I've also noticed on some repliesa That some of the Formatting Items are Missing

See: http://www.screencast.com/t/0OsZajhrk

the items I have highlighted in yellow from time to time disappear.

Is this 100% repeatable? Or are there any special steps needed to recreate the issue?

September 20, 2011

Yesterday's night it looked gone, and I was about to comment that on...

But today's morning the issue got back... No any special steps, every time IE9 just hangs while opening right any 4th thread in new window or new tab, whereas keeps working if a thread is opened in the same tab by clicking on a link (i.e. even after hanging on opening 4th thread in a new window/tab IE9 can successfully open threads in original tab)...

In other browsers everything works well as it was.

UPD: The issue has just gone. (At about 13:00 UTC)

UPD2: And reappeared again at about 13:30 UTC... <img src="http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/sorry.gif">

Reported. Sounds like a fun one to track down.
