There was a breif moment when it wouldn't let me log on despite the fact that I was using the right name and password. Does that count as a bug?

I got one - the bit at the top of each forum page that says the thread title and the Welcome <Name> thing - sometimes it isn't aligning itself correctly in the browser window. Sometimes it's squashed up and the Welcome <Name> is in the middle of the page rather than on the right and sometimes if the thread title is long it aligns the words so they go down and make a massive big box rather than a little one with them going across.

I got a few bugs to report

- Having just visited 'user cp', I clicked on the 'Muppet Central Forum' link at the top of the control panel, and got a blank page. I went back, and tried the 'forum' link in the Flash menu, and got the same thing. Hitting 'reload' in my browser (eventually) brought the forum back up.

- Automatic Daylight Savings Time adjustment does not appear to be working.

- The page I'm typing this into right now appears to have a layout glitch: the entire page is displayed correctly including the Flash menu, but there's a white border along the top and right edges. After previewing this message, the border at the top has gone, but the one at the right remains.

It always seemed like that to me.

Ok, further to my report of getting a blank page, I've done some more investigating.

I'm running Opera 6.05 on Win2K. If the browser identifies itself as Opera, all is fine until I log in. After this, I get a blank display. The page code is definitely being sent - I can view the source - it just won't render. If I tell the browser to identify itself as IE, however, the page renders. This is a common problem on the net, and almost invariably means that the server is generating browser-specific pages on-the-fly and making a mess of it.

Clearly Opera is quite capable of dealing with the page, so it's probably just a small tweak needed to vBulletin The older versions of vBulletin haven't done this.

Interestingly enough, the forum works just fine in IBrowse, despite the browser not supporting CSS!

This should be fixed now for everyone.

Maybe I'm not being patient enough, but the last couple of times I've entered the forums from the main page I've gotten a blank white screen (with Done down in the bottom bar). I hit refresh and it loaded fine.
I'm using IE 5.5
