NationStates Jolt Archive

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but in every forum I've been to, the 'New Post' button at the bottom of the list of threads doesn't work. It's not linked to a page, it's just a picture.

Those aren't buttons, it's a Legend. It just tells what the little icons mean.

Nah, the 'new post' button on the bottom side of every forum. There's one on the top (right) that functions but its partner on the bottom right has no link. I noticed this a while back too.

Only seems to happen to me in Internet Exploder.

It's time for an upgrade. (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/)

Confirmed. Alas, no upgrade possible for me here.

Odd. It doesn't work in Opera either. If there's a difference between these two it eludes my eyes.

Hmmm. Same here, also on IE.

Note in the second one the starting TD tag isn't properly closed by a ">", causing the "<A HREF..." tag to be part of the TD tag instead of a new tag within the TD scope. Some browsers may regard the "<A HREF..." as an implicit closing of the TD tag, and on those it'll work properly.

Assuming if no update possible you are using a Mac. Try Safari, button works fine.

Good eye, Ballotonia!

Now to see if these mighty Jolt 'SuperMods' have access to the admin panel to fix this, or if it has to be passed to Jolt admins. Betcha it's just the NS skin ...

Has this been passed up the chain to the Jolt folks?

but i think its the first time i have had it work for me
