So, I want to update my current signature. It's currently set to “They who can give up essential liberty...." yada yada. In the past, I was told if I wanted to change my sig, just click on the "Click to edit signature" below this edit box. So, I do. I just changed it to Fred.

So, you see my first post. My sig is Fred. Now look at this post.

Has never been more appropriate.

What am I missing?

Are you changing it just in individual messages? If you want a permanent change then you need to do it in your home page.

Not fred.

Occasionally I've noticed that I get a spurious <pre> tag inserted into forum posts: eg

You can see that there's a <pre> tag inserted in the preview, and remains after submitting.

If I remove the blank lines between the two for loops, the <pre> tag goes away
The indent as displayed is 4 chars for the second for loop. Reducing it to 3 or less solves the issue
The "<<" after std::cout also seems to part of the picture. Replacing the stream output operator with << also resolves the issue.

forum expansion + two other bugs

No, I'm not asking for a new forum ... wow, another issue: I clicked an emoji to insert in my message and it posted the very incomplete message instead of inserting the emoji.

Anyhoo, on the left side of the screen while browsing through the various forums is a list of forums, grouped together by general subject, such as "general programming" and "mobile development". Previously, if you clicked on a closed group name, the group would expand and list all its constituent forums. This expansion no longer works. I click on "general programming" and ... nothing.

Now, this may be my system here since I use a very buttoned-down browser here at work, but there seem to be lots of little things not working and there was mention of system errors and a migration so ... maybe it's not my browser.

Also:
I am usually NOT signed in while using CP, which leads to issue number three -- the "sign in" link in the very upper right no longer takes you to a sign-in page. I had to click the link in the "you must be signed in to post a message" blurb that appears above the messages in this forum.

Is my IT department messing with me that much, or did I just encounter three bugs in the span of 10 minutes?

Probably something is blocking running JavaScript on the page preventing the interactivity required for the features you are discussing.
I could be your IT department being excessively paranoid, but also could be browser settings, Ad Blockers, or network issues.

If it does not resolve itself shortly, you should investigate why the blocking is happening.

Been getting this error since this morning. Seems to fix itself after a few minutes.

The click 'here' link doesn't work either.

Or more precisely: it works, in that it navigates you to the home page. It just doesn't "work", in that the home page is affected by the same error, redirects to the error page, and the error page shows the "error page error" page again. Smile | :)

Did you give it a good talking to? Was it put on the naughty step?
