No prob. Not sure if it had been mentioned before in this thread but I'm only just after finding out how to do it. I had no idea what Categories was supposed to show either as it had always been blank for me (once that Categories error page was fixed). I'm going to go do the same procedure now to follow the other forums I used to have in a drop down list - this will actually help me a lot now I think as I wasn't bothered to try and find my forums before. 🙂

Just posted on a forum. Posted up double.

So i picked one post to delete.

My followed forums were already there! Did the update work or did no one know how it worked????

I had to manually add mine as none of them copied over. Didn't matter much as most haven't had a post in 2 weeks anyway.

I just realised the forums in the Categories page (with filter set to Following) are not listed alphabetically? Not a major thing but hopefully that can be fixed or a setting added to order it by forum name.

Something is going on behind the scenes!

Pressing the back button on my phone from the last post on a thread now brings you straight back to the previous page you were on. So mostly in my case straight back to the list of bookmarks.

Hurray!!

The resemblance is uncanny 😆

Some images go through "insert media" thing, some (from the same source) - not.

And this button:

Does absolutely nothing, no matter how hard I hit it.

I was getting the same thing up until a few days ago I think - no idea what corrected it tbh so can't offer any suggestions I'm afraid. Think it was only happening on desktop (I'm using Chrome on Win 10), mobile was fine.

@joujoujou - Does absolutely nothing, no matter how hard I hit it.

'Mark As Read' is working for me using Chrome on Win 10.

"I thought we had it with that last pull request..."

Someone asked for a positive. At least it is more difficult for the resident racists, misogynists and transphobes of the Current Affairs forum to spout their daily quotas of bile. So there is that upside. Every cloud and all that.

I turned on notifications for posts in threads I post in - but like everyone else, I'm not into getting a notification for every post made!

I find myself not bothering to check every single thread I follow. In the past, I would pop into them all to clear the red number down to zero. Not anymore.

Hi guys,

Vanilla are aware of the new influx of notifications and will get back to us later today. For myself I am now getting notifications of new threads and posts in forums that I followed (not threads I followed) so that needs to be adjusted or we'll all be inundated. 

Re Online Buying & Auctions, I fixed that earlier this morning. If anyone spots any other forums that are not open but should be please PM me and I'll sort it out. Will be going down the forum list myself but if there is anything urgent let me know.

Follow forum on desktop should be ready soon, there is already a follow button on threads on mobile and using this should follow across to My Forums on desktop. 

Re- Advanced Reply, the comments box at the end should have everything you need in it. See this post for details on how to use the editor: https://boards.ie/discussion/2058199126/how-can-i-a-users-guide-to-the-new-site/p1?new=1

Double posting - for whatever reason when we post, it looks like we have posted twice @kadman but if you refresh the page only one reply appears.

@joujoujou not sure what is going on with the image there, it should embed unless there were some privacy settings on it on Imgur maybe. The Mark All As Read on the Notifications should get rid of the red number at the top but doesn't get rid of the list, just marks them all as read.

Mr Crispy

I've been flagged for abuse six times apparently. Thoughts and prayers to those who I have wronged.

You have to laugh how bad this site is operating

Mr Crispy last post is showing as 14:23

Where as in the actual thread it shows 3:23

WOW! this is really bad

clicking on threads and going to the first post rather then the last is weird

Yes, but that only happens the first time you access a thread right? every subsequent time you should be brought to the most recent post - at least that's how it's happening for me and others.

I've flipped and flopped emotionally since the site came back. Absolute horror, then shock, anger, then a place of quasi acceptance - to now kinda finding it comical. It beggars belief really how this was all implemented and how it's playing out. The site has been gutted of functionality and ease of use.

On Desktop

This icon no longer appears for me (Firefox) It was there until last nights downtime.

And I've just noticed that if I move my mouse to the extreme left of screen I'm getting the hover hand symbol and a portion of the menu but not all of it, it's like it is still there but not displaying or usable. It doesn't matter what size I make the window, it's not displaying since last night.

You need more whitespace on the left - it's placed in a stupid position when most people do not have their browser maximised and the comment box is right at the far left of the screen hiding the icon

Follow forum on desktop should be ready soon, there is already a follow button on threads on mobile and using this should follow across to My Forums on desktop.

Excuse my ignorance, but where is My Forums on desktop? All I see is this:

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117642502#Comment_117642502

But even with the Browser window maximised it doesn't show, but you're right, there is less space to the left of comment box than was there yesterday & yes, it's in the worst place ever.

And there was me reading all those posts about too much white space 😄

If you click on BOARDS.IE, top left, you should see the old drop down menus with My Forums (not working yet), My Threads (works but doesn't show if there are any new posts), Trending (no idea if that's working properly or not, tbh).

Mr Crispy

🤣

@Boards.ie: Niamh The first and only post in the newly reopened Online Buying & Aucitons is a spammer trying to sell counterfeit money. I LOLed.

Thanks HH appreciate that. 🤙🙂 So what was a one click standalone and useful dropdown menu right there in front of you now requires two clicks to see, isn't nearly so obvious and currently shows individual posts rather than the much simpler and more elegant way of before? Looking at the mobile version which is apparently working(?) is just as confusing. Has me following stuff I never followed in forums I've rarely or never been in. SMH
