Thanks for reporting. I'll get this fixed ASAP.

EDIT: Now fixed.

Closing this thread as easier to track issues with one issue per thread.

The "Top ranked artists" page has a bug when "Show child acts" is ticked. Seems to only happen with that one ticked and only on every other page (2, 4, 6 etc)

Thanks, now fixed (unrelated, but additional font sizes now added per your previous post).

"Latest from the forums" seems to be broken at the moment.

No real reason these can't be added as well but font size 7 is pretty unreadable already!. I'll add to list but really working hard on getting login issue fixed at moment.

The BBCode font sizes previously directly translated to pixel sizes, but these don't render consistently between HD and non-HD displays (text can be too small to read on HD displays using pixel sizing), so BEA moved away from using these a while ago and now uses ems instead (most people wouldn't notice a difference if fonts were sized from the pick-list, but hadn't realised other sizes were being used). It's definitely possible for BEA to add support for the missing sizes in between the existing upper and lower limit so that people can uses sizes from outside of the pick list and I'll gladly do this over the next few days.

EDIT: This is now fixed (you can now use font sizes from outside of the list - any font size between 7 and 24)

Any reason why we can no longer use font sizes below 7? It would be good to have that feature back, as it has been historically part of forum humor.

A minor issue, but I used to be able to customize the font size by changing the number, for example: changing [size=18] to [size=16], but now for some reason, I can only change the font size to the presets like Large [size=18] and Small [size=9]. Customizing the font sizes for poll results, lists and other posts with a lot of information can make them easier to read and more pleasing to the eye. Surprised because I thought font size was basic html.

Thanks for reporting. I'll get this fixed (artefact from previous layout).

This is minor, but when you insert a BEA link to an album it says "Thumbnail. Click to enlarge." even when it's already at the max size and the image that's generated by clicking is no bigger.

Hi, I can somehow reproduce the issue on chrome/windows 10. If I zoom to 500% and then back to 100%, there is an ad covering the search engine.
Maybe this can help you reproduce the issue...

Another bug...
The goto page feature at the bottom of a chart doesn't work for me.

For example, if I use goto to go to the page 3 of my chart, it sends me here:

Rather than sending me here:
https://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart...amp;page=3

Hi, thanks for reporting and apologies for the problem. This has now been fixed.

Not a bug per se, but it would be really useful if the CSV download file split the first field into two.

At the moment it has a field called Title which in fact is populated by the album title and the artist e.g. '0898 by The Beautiful South'. It would be useful if this was split into two.

Thanks for feedback. This has been noted and added to the list.

Second I'd like to report - not a bug but a minor issue for me personally - that I miss the searchforalbumsarists&charts-opportunity when I'm on my preferred halfpage-sized modus on my safari mac. Now I need to fullsize BEA everytime I search - poor me buhu - everytime I wanna search (which is very often I have discovered lately) something. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Good point about the search bar. Agree, this should be made always visible on mobile without having to expand the navigation (this will be done this week). Thanks for everybody's patience while kinks are being ironed out. Hopefully, getting there gradually...

Just kidding, keep up the good work! Good suggestions are good. Also I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this, but sometimes I can't copy and paste into this text field or the insert BEA link... seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. It eventually works itself out (I type it, or 7th try is a charm). Android OS.

Good luck with all the updates and changes. Exciting to see lots of planning and hard work pay off.

EDIT: Also I read somewhere about emojis - I'm cool with what we have, but one thing that is annoying is that if there's legit a need to write an "8" and a ")" next to each other, it is the emoji for 8), I like that emoji, but if I have a parenthetical statement that ends with an 8... I have to add a space.

Thanks, I'll check into the copy/paste issue. In regards to smilies, there's a somewhat obscure checkbox when you make a post to 'disable smilies in this post' (this way you can be certain that none of your text gets converted into a smilie).

Doh, just noticed that - thanks! 😄
