That's a known bug since the unsuccessful update. Niamh is aware and it should be rectified soon. It's bloody annoying though!

22-07-2021 4:21pm

Well I selected Heading 2 and now I can't unselect it on mobile

Just realised that it reverts to normal once you hit enter, minor annoyance

The stars and cogs are not showing up properly on mobile. The page width looks to be determined by the top header but the cogs and stars are outside this width so you can just barely see both.

That inability to edit down a quote is insane.

You need to quote everything and cannot highlight the particular part you wish to respond to.

Like here, I'm responding to the first part of your message but have to quote the whole thing.

We've moved the two "new" forums into their proper place now and done away with the links. Just in case people now go looking for it where it was after the helpful post above!

The hovering over username is a known issue. Clicking on the avatar is the way to go for the moment. It's strange that you're seeing white on grey though - it should be dark on white. Appreciate the feedback on the avatar sizing though. As mentioned by davetherave, it's a more all-in-one system for storing messages from here on out. Older messages (pre changeover) seem to be just the messages in from a person or just your messages to them. But from here out it will function more like a chat between one user and another and means that people won't have to change their preferences to save sent messages, which has caught people out in the past.

We are indeed and appreciate the issues being flagged. The unusual behaviour you have noted is an odd one indeed, That is a (not ideal) workaround to seeing recent activity in your followed forums. The intention is to restore the My Forums tab to act as you would expect it to and how it has functioned previously.

Any possibility you can have one thread where we can post the Mobile bugs and a separate one for the problems on computer?

This would make the replies and solutions less confusing for those of us who only use one or the other.

Hotblack Desiato · 22-07-2021 5:12pm

This is what it looks like when I click on your avatar Mark:

Windows 10, Opera 77. I used to use Stylus on the old site but I have it turned off.

Leg End Reject · 22-07-2021 5:22pm

This is what I see on Android.

Hi thesandeman, for now it might be easier to keep all in one - a little like how people gravitated towards the previous megathread. There are a few threads for us to keep an eye on (plus for those encountering issues). I could be wrong, of course, so people can let me know!

@Hotblack Desiato - I can't seem to replicate on Opera. Do you have any Opera extensions that might be interfering? Can PM if easier. Thanks for the heads up though and something we will need to look into further.

Hotblack Desiato · 22-07-2021 6:15pm

I only have two extensions installed in Opera - noCSS (which I'm obviously not using) and Stylus which is currently disabled.

Interesting thing though - if I maximise the window it looks like this:

The switch between black and white text seems to happen at about 820 pixels width.

If I quote a comment and then try to delete it, it doesn't go away long terms unless I overwrite the post after I hit the delete option

22-07-2021 6:38pm

No way to see who the mods are for a respective forum

These used to be listed at the bottom of the page on desktop, don't recall on mobile, but right now there is no way to tell who is a mod and who is not

On the groups They are called leaders.

On mobile they go right across the screen atleast on the soccer forum. Can that be addressed.

ben.schlomo · 22-07-2021 7:54pm

Gonna ask/highlight again re Email notifications on followed threads as my posts keep being missed in threads. Is it gone as an option. All I've gotten on mobile so far was one disappearing pop up which is fairly useless in comparison to an email notification which was always very handy.

22-07-2021 8:09pm

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117648513#Comment_117648513

Not being smart, but did you have a play around with the notification preferences through your profile? Email is listed as an option for each item.

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117648582#Comment_117648582

No offence taken and I have played about with them. Had them set to email for both 'threads I've commented on' and 'threads I've started' or whatever the phraseology used is. Haven't received any email notifications from Boards since the new site has launched, for any thread that I follow. They show up under my avatar when I click into here but that requires me checking as opposed to the lazier way of receiving the notification. Not the end of the world but it's a little annoying.

22-07-2021 10:23pm

Yeah, same here. I don't get any emails but if I click on the Notification icon I can see recent posts to my followed threads. But it doesn't light up to let me know there are new posts. Not that I actually want tonnes of emails but just checking how things are currently working.

maudgonner · 22-07-2021 10:58pm

Really missing the ability (on desktop) to hover over a thread and get a snippet of the first post.

Sorting search results by Newest sometimes only displays 2/3 results per page e.g.:

Edit: And it would appear from the above that a lot of padding is being added around images in a post (doesn't have all that blank space in the Edit box so I can't remove it) 😳

DeepBlue · 22-07-2021 11:12pm

Regarding forums it seems you can no longer re-order the thread listings as that functionality has disappeared.

For example you can't re-list threads alphabetically or by thread starter, or when the thread was started or even by the number of replies or views.

I would have thought that this was pretty standard functionality across all forums software so it would be really strange if vanilla doesn't include it.

Where there's a list of threads, like on the homepage etc., the time of the last posts is GMT, not BST

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117646297#Comment_117646297

This is kindof an improvement on the other way. When you posted to a thread, it took one to the end of the thead, and you had to wind back to where you where reading, now the new post initially appears on same page as you were reading, but new messages still appear at the end, as will also your reply.

HeidiHeidi · 23-07-2021 12:48pm

It's far too easy to accidentally post a blank post.

On mobile, when I click on Post Comment, the post goes up, but I'm left looking at the bottom of the comment box, with the Post Comment button still there and lit up in blue. I've lost count of the number of times I've just automatically hit it again, because I think I haven't hit it properly the first time.

And then you can't delete the blank post (and I've been reported for spam for at least one of them!)

Grolschevik · 23-07-2021 1:09pm

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117651301#Comment_117651301

Here's a related one. A couple of post above, I said this: "At least this should wean a lot of people (me!) off the compulsion to continually check in to Boards. It's just too much of a pain in the arse now!".

Then I realised that the thread title said "no griping", so I went to delete the post. Turns out you can't delete the entire post, just the text within it. Or at least that's what it looks like to me. So: big empty post there...

woejus · 23-07-2021 1:09pm

Might I suggest Boards get Bugherd installed for registered users - would be far easier to act on the bugs, and you'd be able to see the greater pain points suffered by all users.

https://bugherd.com/

Mobile - forum count on first page is right at the bottom so you need to scroll down the first page of posts to get to the <1 2 3> section to pick the last page. Madness.

HeidiHeidi · 23-07-2021 1:11pm

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117651422#Comment_117651422

Re your last point..... I think there's a post/page count at the bottom of the first post (or it was there at one stage, why there i have no idea!)

Hotblack Desiato · 23-07-2021 3:22pm

Before the upgrade I could add links to a reply. After the upgrade it’s saying I can’t. Can you fix this?

23-07-2021 7:04pm

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117652878#Comment_117652878

It may be because you only have a tiny amount of posts.

On the old siet I think you had to have more than 15 before you could posts links. If I recall, thats been increased to 50 posts as they started getting a lot of spam links being posted and the mod tools aren't sorted yet to clean them up fast enough

osarusan · 23-07-2021 7:22pm

When a post (Post A) quotes another post (Post B) in reply, but that post (Post B) was already quoting a post (Post C), Post C remains in Post B even when B is being quoted by A - so you cannot readily see what A is actually replying to.

TigerTim · 23-07-2021 7:44pm

Has the "search this forum" functionality disappeared. Used to find that handy with the old forum.

Also Boards has got very slow for me on the laptop.

@Boards.ie: Mark When I came for a look tonight it appears there there already is a thread just like I wanted (it needs cleaning up).

I only found it I was made to login again for some reason and it appeared on my home page.

You and the others may not be aware of it.

I don't know how to link to it but I'll supply a screenshot.

With a bit of help and editing from your side it might make things easier for members of my demographic to understand and help.

(desktop) follow/sub to forums - still no way to do this
(desktop) mark all read unavailable for threads/forums

loyatemu · 24-07-2021 9:43am

in amongst all the other problems, the new site is noticeably slower than the old one (Chrome on MacOS).

Upforthematch · 24-07-2021 9:59am

Mobile site

1. Favourite threads.... when you click a new post notification on favourite threads it doesn't bring you to the new posts it brings you to top of the page.

2. Can't find favourite forums? Have to go to search bar everytime. Could put it quick links?

Upforthematch · 24-07-2021 10:30am

Mobile site

3. To start a new thread on a forum I have to scroll to the bottom of the page, very inconvenient.

4. It took me way way too long to get back to this thread to find to my post. I couldn't find my recent posts (not autosaved to favourites like before). I tried clicking "activity" because it's so prominent but that is nothing to do with anything useful or personal to me. I tried typing "feedback" in the search and got no results for this forum. I had to go through "Categories" and scroll through very small text to eventually pick out this forum again!!!!! Surely there is an easier way!!

Thanks for the opportunity to give feedback. I really like the site otherwise.

Latest possible bork: Mods merging threads

Are merging threads working properly?

Posted in 'Vaccine side effects' thread, thread merged as 'Merged: Fatigue after second vaccine', now two threads showing.

Original has correct post count and last poster, Merged thread is saying 1 post (mine) which doesn't appear on either thread btw yet that thread too has full amount of posts.

My comment appears on my comments section of mobile site (desktop I can't view my comments) but is actually not there.
