There is an odd behaviour if you hit reply when not signed in, it takes to the sign in page and then it results in the #2 report from Andrew. If you see this, going back into the forum and trying again often works, but not always.

''if you hit reply when not signed in''

Because this stupid forum has no 'remember me' option, that is almost always the case! See:

''going back into the forum and trying again often works'' Yes - it worked just now!

What is really annoying is that the old forum worked well. This new one seems like a huge step backwards.

Indeed!

Your contribution in the feedback thread might help ST realise this...?

Yes, someone please fix the issues!

It's been months since the switch, so bugs should be rid of, but no, this is still beta quality I'd be ashamed of. I can only get so annoyed, before I leave the site and never come back.
