Here is the URL
/ctt/f195/p/208685/2294181.aspx according to the error message
If I just try to access a random thread in the CTT forum, I get a URL like this: http://cs.trains.com/ctt/f/95/t/209569.aspx. Seems like the URL format has changed again (/f/95 instead of /f195, /t instead of /p, and probably more), as it did on the last major update two years ago :-/ Someone at Telligent probably dropped the ball (again) on how to handle old links in the new version. You would think it would be part of a forum upgrade to think about how old links would be handled in the new version, since people _will_ create links (shortcuts, favorites, google search results or whatever) to anything on the Net. Only suggestion for now is to navigate to the same place and make a new shortcut or favorite using the new URL format.
Maybe Kalmbach can do some rewrite rules on their webfront if the URL have changed according to a fixed pattern.
Yep - I can do this:
Old: cs.trains.com/ctt/f195/p/208685/2294181.aspx New: cs.trains.com/ctt/f/95/t/208685.aspx
and get directly to the Coffee Pot thread of the CTT forum, if that was what you tried to reach? So it ought to be possible to make a UR rewrite rule on Kalmbach's web server to handle such stuff automatically.

AF53 Stein - Well maybe you might be able to suggest a solution to my problem. Let's try? While I proceed to post from my Samsung Galaxy S III, I enter all the letters of a given word, but only the first letter of every word appears. Hence when I typed "Let's try this again. Test" the only thing posted, at the bottom of page 26, was the first letters of each word. About 30 minutes later I went to my computer and posted again, which is what appears at the top of page 27. I hope this "Bug Report" is clear enough for you in helping me with my problem. Ray

Okay, so trouble entering text with the post editor when using (presumably) the default web browser on Samsung Galaxy S3, ie under Andoid 4. What version of the post editor were you using - plain text or enhanced (Community settings | Advanced Options | Content Editor) ? Did the other version work? If so, you had a temporary workaround until a technician with backend access could check more.
At first look a problem which have to be fixed by someone with access to style sheets and possibly the tinymce editor configuration files on the web server (and possibly resources at Telligent software) - not likely that other users could help you (apart from suggesting maybe trying the plain text editor as a temporary workaround if you were using the enhanced text editor). Anyways - what was the solution? What was done?

AF53 Stein - Not sure if you are part of Kalmbach or not, but here goes. When I said " someone is supposed to get back to you" and you replied "Nope" well someone did. I received an email that day stating that someone will get back to me in 2 business days (they did on Wednesday).

Or, as I pointed out - technicians wouldn't get back to you on a Saturday (the day you posted to ask that someone get back to you) - you would have to wait until over the weekend - in this case it happened on Wednesday.
AF53 You also asked me "describe my problem in a sensible way instead of just being vague", well If you read my post, I referenced the post just minutes before the post you are talking about. (check the prior page, it's at the bottom) and you will clearly understand my problem.

My apologies. Of course the text "l t t a t" is a succinct description of what you did and what happened.
AF53 I was a bit upset because I had already reported this issue on Aug 21 as I posted from my cell and then immediately from my computer with different results. I appreciate when someone helps others, I really do. But it kind of came off a bit condescending.

I don't work for Kalmbach, but I also work with IT tech support. I still find it amazing how many people think that a bug report consists of just describing the end result, instead of describing where they started from, what they did (buttons clicked etc), date and time, and end result, allowing someone else to to try to reproduce the error, check logs etc.
But glad you got help with your problem, whatever it was.
AF53 So let's see if I understand this.........This is about technical issues, correct so far?

This thread is to report new technical problems after the forum upgrade, yes.
AF53 And if someone has a problem, someone (a technician) is supposed to get back to you?
And if someone has a problem, someone (a technician) is supposed to get back to you?
Nope. This is just a place to report problems and to see if anyone else has had the same problem - there is no guarantee of a callback from a technician 24/7/365. The guys which possibly could look into it work Monday thru Friday, not 24/7 - you are not going to get answers over the weekend.
If you *describe* your problem in a sensible way instead of just vaguely referring to it as "still having the same issue" and "a problem posting from my cell".
Good luck, Smile, Stein
KRM OKay, So why do I get this every time I sign it????????? If I hit the back button I find that I am in. BUT If I hit enter or the sign in tab this is what comes up. Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found.

Maybe because your bookmark or link or whatever point to a page that no longer exist? What URL are you trying to go to?

Thisisn't a problem as its a sugestion from a thread on your site http://cs.trains.com/ctt/f/95/p/209424/2292730.aspx#2292730

Well a few days back I posted a problem I have while posting from my cell.
Still no response and still having the same issue. My earlier post was typed from my cell and should have read "Let's try this again. Test"
Please respond.

with the picture insert bug fix (THANK YOU!), there are a few other minor things you might consider.
1) it would be very nice to have a hot key to insert a picture or video. as soon as you post 2-3 pictures, the edit window grows to more than a screen height away from the menu and from that point to insert a picture you have to position the cursor, scroll up to the menu, choose insert, blindly insert the picture, then scroll back down to see the result.
2) there is an annoying edit window width bug that happens when you insert any slightly larger than the default column width. hard to explain, but insert an 800 pix wide photo and you'll see what i mean.
3) i can work around it, but i wish you would go back to not forcing paragraph breaks on CRLF.
it's annoying,
