Search issues - When I search for a keyword in a thread title for a specific forum, I'm getting a list of results like "1 to 24 of 44" but no option to go to the next page (where results 25-44 would be).
Still on my list to look at - things have been busy but will find time to investigate.

There seems to be a problem with the multiquote label now
Interesting - you must have alt text turned on when link text is absent, I've not seen that myself. However, I've made sure the full label is so now so I'll be interested to know if you end up with the text twice or if it looks OK now.

I don't have the text twice. It looks perfect now.

The most visible change is a new message editor which has some additional features including retrieval of text if there's a problem with posting.
Hmm, how does that work exactly? Does it just automagically retrieve the text when you relogin after taking too long to post? I've noticed I get an "auto-saved" message now and then while writing posts now.

Yes. If you start a message or post and have to leave it and come back later, start a new message to that person or reply to the same thread again and click on 'restore saved content' button and hey presto, there it is.
I particularly like the autosave when I'm editing the Mission by Type or Review Megathreads in Fan Missions - I used to swear a lot before when I lost the links I'd just updated.

nickie's pretty much covered it. Every sixty seconds the editor saves what you're writing on the server and you can get the text back if you're interrupted. You'll lose anything that was entered after the last auto save occurred but at least you don't lose as much as previously.

:D But it was a dog's dinner of a sentence.

The new editor is driving me mad.
Click reply, click in the editor box, start typing, get about 5 characters down and then the text entry box is replaced by the fancy editor, which no longer has focus and everything you're typing is lost. Every. Single. Time.
More specifically, if you click in the editor box and start typing before the page has fully finished loading (which generally takes a few seconds), then the box you're typing into will be replaced with the fancy editor when the JavaScript comes online, removing the focus from the editor box.
Of course, turning off JavaScript on TTLG fixes it just fine, but that's annoying in other ways.

Not trying to pass the buck at all but I've used the forums from my desktop PC, tablet and phone on a large variety of connection quality without seeing the problem as severe as you're seeing. Which browser and version are you using? I'll try to replicate the problem at this end and see if it's something to do with the way that it handles the page loading.

Opera 12.02 Build 1578

Thanks. I've done a few tests with Opera and it does seem a little worse in this regard so I can imagine it being annoying. I've added a configuration option to specify that the editor should receive input focus after being shown (which I also think is the most sensible behaviour). It doesn't guarantee that there won't be a delay due to network lag or simply the way that Opera lays out pages but it seems better than it was before.
