Just bugs / missing functionality reports - no griping

No time stated on posts unless they're from today. V annoying

F1ngers · 24-07-2021 11:04am

That blue tick is on in every forum I visit, by default.

Surely it should be off by default.

Unticking and re-ticking does nothing, so it seems to be pointless.

In forums I moderate, there is no blue tick, but when I tick it myself I get mod options.

Old posts in this thread have date/time, todays posts only have time, on desktop.

1st post in this thread:

smuggler.ie · 24-07-2021 11:16am

@F1ngers have you checked , might have some extra info for you as MOD :D

Lisha · 24-07-2021 11:28am

Often when I click into bookmarks it doesn’t open properly and I can’t see them.. will be like this for ages and then it will work… same happens if I click on notifications or mail tabs

Thanks, but not that.

It might be something mod related left over from The Change.

I don't think it should be there on the forums I don't moderate.

Is it there on any forum for you?

nope, dont see that box, dont even have column. That's why i thought it was just for mods

F1ngers · 24-07-2021 11:53am

I don't recollect this happening when the notification 1st went live, but now when I click the mod notification banner I get the "leaving Boards" message.

The Continental Op · 24-07-2021 12:47pm

I'm sure it must have been mentioned ....

How do we know who is a moderator and even if we remember who is how do we know who is moderating what. Clicking on a moderators profile only gives the information "mod" and nothing more.

Furthermore it would be good to actually see how including mods is online and has visited a particular forum recently.

All I see in there is:

At any opportunity, ban Esel.

😝

Muahahaha · 24-07-2021 4:31pm

Theres two threads in Bargain Alerts I started years ago, I have unsubbed from them but I keep getting notifications for each new post in them. Anyone know how to stop the notifications?

24-07-2021 4:36pm

Any way to disable drafts? If I write a response and don't send, delete and leave, it will still showing the reply window on return to the same thread.

F1ngers · 24-07-2021 5:51pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117656275#Comment_117656275

On desktop, click your profile pic, top RHS of screen, select drafts and delete as appropriate.

loyatemu · 25-07-2021 11:30am

there seems to be no concept of a post being "read". so I look at "my threads" tab, I've no way of knowing which of them have any new posts, they're all in bold. or in a particular forum to mark all posts as read - that option is gone. Makes the site very awkward to use compared to the old version.

also the "Categories" link at the top of the page currently just throws back an error page. I don't know what the distinction be categories and topics is supposed to be.

smuggler.ie · 25-07-2021 11:43am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117658622#Comment_117658622

It seams that "My Threads" are caried over for reference only and will be sort of transformed into "Bookmarks" , closed/open envelope indicate unread/read

Posting in the thread(aka "Discussion") does NOT auto-subscribe(aka bookmark), you have to do it manually, even for treads you had bin

loyatemu · 25-07-2021 11:46am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117658659#Comment_117658659

yes, I've been using "Bookmarks" as well and you're right, but it's more clicks and messing around to achieve the same things. It might have been better if they'd just accepted the default setup for Vanilla and left people to get used to it, rather than creating this hybrid mess.

😔 no griping 😕

The Continental Op · 25-07-2021 11:52am

Would be handy if you could bookmark Forums as well as threads then you could set up your own subset of forums that you regularly visited.

loyatemu · 25-07-2021 11:56am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117658689#Comment_117658689

"My Forums" as it is is useless as it's just showing posts from them in alphabetical order. The drop down list of subscribed forums is also gone.

Is there no useable way of accessing my old subscribed forums list?

loyatemu · 25-07-2021 12:02pm

Clicking on Topics is currently bringing up a list of all sub-forums in a somewhat random order, not categorised in any way - and as previously mentioned, Categories goes to an error page

The TalkTo/Topics/Regional banner is also not visible from within individual discussions.

Sadb · 25-07-2021 12:18pm

On mobile:

.The page doesn’t refresh when you post, you have to refresh manually each time.

. No “most recent” option when searching

. A new line doesn’t start a new sentence and begins with a small letter.

. I don’t like the amount of space between lines but that’s really minor.

Sadb · 25-07-2021 12:22pm

Forgot these, still mobile:

. Doesn’t say who posted last or no way of knowing if another comment has been added since you posted unless you click into the forum.

. No post/page count on the front page.

25-07-2021 12:29pm

Has it been explained why the boards.ie custom theme hides the forum title and Follow button?

archfi · 25-07-2021 12:48pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117658803#Comment_117658803

?!

So, the follow button/title has been there all along?!!

I thought the css posted on site to fix it just added it for functionality as it was 'on their list'

Christ almighty. (Does this count as griping?)

25-07-2021 12:54pm

I've done a tonne of work on a Chrome extension.

Three things in the screenshot. I've unhidden the follow button and added three links in the top right that open Modals for Posts, Threads, and Forums. In the screenshot, I've clicked Forums and it shows posts from my followed Forums under the new system in the proper order.

Posts shows your comments and Threads shows what you've bookmarked. And I've made it so posting auto-bookmarks a thread.

Edit: It seems the followed forums posts just show up under Discussions. I hadn't followed any so didn't know that.

byte · 25-07-2021 4:30pm

I don't know if it's just me, but on vBulletin, when you hovered your mouse on a thread title, you'd get a box with the first chunk of the OP text.

That used to be handy to get an idea on what the thread is about without having to click through.

iLikeWaffles · 26-07-2021 1:06am

Big performance issues using codeblocks. highlight.js v9 seems to be the cause. It's reported here that highlight.js v10 does not have the issue.

Fakediamond · 26-07-2021 10:41am

i no longer get notifications on my followed threads, even though I’ve bookmarked them. I end up having to scroll through all the topics to find a followed thread to see if there’s any new posts 🙁.

mortimer33 · 26-07-2021 11:19am

I miss the followed forums list and being able to choose a forum to browse. Will this feature be coming back?

26-07-2021 11:41am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117662408#Comment_117662408

On both desktop and mobile, click categories and then view:following.

loyatemu · 26-07-2021 11:53am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117662518#Comment_117662518

I clicked "Categories" - it's not going well so far:

loyatemu · 26-07-2021 11:54am

Another bug - on many forums the "last post" column is randomly displaying the date/time of the first post in the thread.

26-07-2021 12:55pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117662585#Comment_117662585

Unfortunately, that happens if you haven't followed any forums yet. Which I don't think is even possible on desktop with the current boards.ie theme which hides that button.

mortimer33 · 26-07-2021 1:49pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117662585#Comment_117662585

I get this error too. I was following 20+ different forums before the upgrade.

HeidiHeidi · 26-07-2021 2:06pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117663121#Comment_117663121

You need to go to the Touch site, mark the forum with the star, then they'll appear in your categories under "followed" on the desktop site.

Clear as mud, I know 🙄

Bug Report - Private Profile

If a user sets their profile as "private" then they can not be put on an ignore list by any other user
If a user sets their profile to private, then they can not be sent any PM's. Not a big issue in general, but a pain if you want to discuss something with a mod who has a private profile

Some additional info after testing this with @smuggler.ie

Issue is on both mobile and desktop
User with private profile can message others, who in turn can reply to those messages, but the receiver can not initiate a PM with a private profile user

gipi · 26-07-2021 11:20pm

On mobile site, I clicked on Activity from the menu to see what was in it

Lots of announcements about people being upgraded to level whatever, and notices about people changing their profile image.

But in between these announcements, I am seeing what might be private messages, or messages posted in error, intended as PMs? For example, there was one from a mod addressed to Niamh regarding mod privileges,and another asking about bank accounts.

No clue whether I should be seeing them (I'm not a mod)

iLikeWaffles · 26-07-2021 11:29pm

The visibility of breadcrumbs on the homepage needs to be looked into. It doesn't need to be there. When in a thread or forum yes but not on the home page. Targeting the homepage should quick fix the issue with:

.BreadcrumbsBox {

visibility: hidden;

}

currently it is set to:

.BreadcrumbsBox {

display: block;

}

The ideal fix would be just deleting the breadcrumbs box on the homepage.

I like the saving draft feature .. but its saving too quickly. Can it be set to auto save after 1/2/5 minutes? During typing the site slows while trying to save the post.

iLikeWaffles · 27-07-2021 9:48am

@GBX would be nice if you could set a value, probably just needs to be properly optimised. Some freezing issues I've seen with it. It can be resource intensive for some reason.

iLikeWaffles · 27-07-2021 9:53am

One I've noticed there replying to the previous post. Typing for example @GBX and continuing a response does not tag a person. You have to tab into their name to link the account. While editing it can continue to resolve the "@" tag while typing.

loyatemu · 27-07-2021 11:09am

I note the "Discussions" link now takes me to just posts from my subscribed forums - I think it was previously showing all forums, so this is an improvement, though there's still no way to actually subscribe to a forum on the desktop site.

Leg End Reject · 27-07-2021 11:37am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117666011#Comment_117666011

I think that happens when you post on someone's wall, rather than PM. It isn't clear that it will be public so I think many are unaware that everyone can see it.

djdunny · 27-07-2021 1:13pm

In Bargain Alerts - the date & time of the most recent post is showing incorrectly
