On Tuesday December 14th, around 10:00PM MST, we will close the Adoption Forums Website for a few hours while we make some changes...
For the last 6 months, we have worked on a new Adoption Forums, using your feedback to help us build a better Message Boards.
We will be upgrading the site to the newest version of the vBulletin Message Board Software, which adds literally thousands of new features, fixes, and tweeks.
Please be patient with us as we go through this transition.

Missing -- that is a glitch that isnt connected to the forums. Only a few odd members intermittently have access to the alt.adoption messages (and noone is supposed to through this site). You will see that alt.adoption is an unmoderated website and not part of adoptionforums.com.

Jensboys ~ I've noticed threads/posts from alt.adoption included in the "New Posts" for this forum. When I click on it, it takes me to the thread ~ same as it does for threads on this forum. As MissnglinkinFl stated, the threads/posts are by "guests". The ones I've read are quite anti adoption in tone.
Understand your post that alt.adoption is not part of adoptionforums.com, but other than showing at the bottom of the page that I cannot post on the thread, it has the same appearance as threads on adoptionforums.com. Someone new to the forum could easily be turned off reading anti adoption posts on a forum that states it is in support of adoption. JMO.
I agree and we have no idea why they sometimes show up -- but its only for a select few old-time members. None of the moderators have access to the threads and we are unable to move/delete or moderate them. You and Missing are two of the members who sometimes see them.
alt.adoption is ANOTHER world ... and anything (and really that means ANYTHING) goes.

Kiwi,
When a forum page is loading, I can see the Navigation bar with User CP, etc. As soon as the page is fully loaded, the bar disappears. It appears to be behind a blank bar. Is this something the technicians are aware of? I'm sure I'm not the only person this is happening to. I've attached a picture of the screen as it appears when it's fully loaded.
Thanks!

Does it happen all the time or is it a recent development? Any particular page or area, or is it all the time and everywhere? What happens if you link directly to something in the nav bar, like <<http://forums.adoption.com/usercp.php?>> ??
I can't yet recreate it, so I'm not able to really identify the problem and it's cause... bear with me!
It happens all the time, on every forum. The only place I can see the menu is on the [url]www.familyforums.com[/url] page, and I believe that menu has a different layout. I have the User CP bookmarked so I can get to it that way. Accessing the pages is not a problem. I just can't see or access the menu items from the forum pages. It almost looks as though the Community tap on the far right has a blank menu that is covering up the other menu. As the page is loading, I can see the menu. Then it disappears behind the white bar. It's been happening to me since late April. I'm attaching a close-up picture of just the toolbar area for you to see.
Thanks!

Kiwi,
Here is what I've discovered. There seem to be two linked yet separate forums. If the address begins with forums.adoption.com, the titles are all lavender shades and I can't see the menu. If the address begins with [url]www.familyforums.com[/url], the titles are all blues and I can see the menu. The actual posts seem to exist in both locations. Some links go to one location, some go to the other. I discovered this by accessing the forums through the New Posts link. It took me to the "FamilyForums" sites.
Should there be two different sites like this??? :confused:
Thanks!
