Zuni,

Posting a message in the wrong forum is not always "user error." At times, the forums don't refresh fast enough. When this happens, for example, you switch between the "hot deals" forum and the "for sale" forum. The content changes to the "for sale" forum, but the navigation in the upper right-hand corner remains "hot deals." A user then posts their message assuming that it's under the "for sale" category, when, in-fact, it falls under "hot deals." I have experienced this issue quite frequently - actually, 3 times in the past week, this same issue happened to me.

However, by going back to the main page for the forums, and then entering an individual form, this issue doesn't seem to be present - or has not presented itself to me. Again, this has only occurred when using the navigation feature in the upper right-hand corner of the forums.

* I have also added these same contents to the "FuseTalk Suggestion" form, so you will see them appear in the area where that data gets sent.

Thanks for providing a great product. But, I just thought you'd like to know about an issue that I've personnally experienced on more than one occassion.

Sorry, there is absolutely nothing we can do about that, sounds like some client side caching to me. Slow down, it isnt a race to finish a post :) still sounds client side to me. At least from how I have interpreted this.

Zuni,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it isn't a race, but sometimes we all get caught up in the issue. Thanks again for reviewing the issue. :)

No problem, did I interpret your question correctly? Just want to ensure this isn't a bug, but from what I can tell it is just navigation confusion?

In my experience, it hasn't been a navigation confusion issue. The physical forum itself refreshes, but the forum listed in the navigation option area (upper right-hand corner) stays listed as the previous section of the forum that I last visited. E.g. - I'm browsing the "For Sale" section of the forum and then I use the navigation option to select the "Hot Deals" forum. The forum refreshes and I can view the Hot Deals forum. However, the Navigation still indicates "For Sale" on it. At this moment, if I were to make a new post, the thread would end up in the "For Sale" forum and not the "Hot Deals" forum which is what I would have intended.

Hopefully, I've provded enough details so you can picture the issue that I have detected. Thanks!
