    Also on threads being left unread (bold) this is being investigated as are the other navigation issues.

    To be tested/confirmed...

    Not even sure if its intentional/normal

    Once have posted PM from within recipients profile, attempt to go page back by using mouse "previous" button (did not tested Alt + Left arrow) repeat posting of same message.

    It's when not logged in. And they are random threads I would have little interest in. Also find it hard enough to believe the majority of the site would have been at that time either :D

    Interesting that those date stamps are from just before the old site was shut down.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    On mobile (Android/Chrome) if I rotate the phone screen, the page resolution/orientation does not revert back to standard mobile sizing. I need to then refresh the page to get the default view.

    Thanks GBX I will file that as a bug.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,914 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    so maybe this is just a misunderstanding on my part but I thought if you @'d a user in PM that would add them to the conversation. I've since been told that it doesn't and you need to add the user to the conversation via a box at the bottom of the screen. Except that box doesn't exist on desktop, it only exists on mobile. can management confirm how this should work on desktop?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,384 ✭✭✭smuggler.ie


    yeah, some strange behaviour. As soon you enter @ it gives some random list of 10, not even alphabetical order. Once you type letter(s)after @ no suggestions.

    There is no need for @, just type actual name

    i was more talking about adding users to an existing conversation. I should have made that clear. on mobile there is a box at the bottom where you can add recipients. that isn't there on desktop. I thought you could include people by @ing them. If @ing a user in a conversation doesn't make them a recipient then what does it do?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,819 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    Functionality missing: It used to be possible to click on the total number of posts in a thread, and see a list of posters in the thread, ordered by number of posts (poster with the most posts at the top).

    Is that something we will ever see again?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,309 ✭✭✭✭wotzgoingon


    I honestly doubt that we will se that with this new version. Tbh I never even knew about that feature or ever used it.

    The misunderstanding may be due to me because I understood the same thing initially but @ ing a user in a PM just adds a link to their proifle page really without notifiying them of anything. You can add a user to a conversation (PM string) on the mobile site as you said but not yet from the desktop site. I've asked for that to be done but as with a lot of things, it is on The List. It will be added, I just don't know when yet.

    Just trying to post normally this morning when I got temporarily locked out of system with this eternal loop message.

    If someone has somehow made their profile private you can't add them to your ignore list



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,623 ✭✭✭El Tarangu


    I am having the same issue.

    One of the 'Trending' threads is for a stage of the Tour de France, which took place in the the summer. Another is from a thread in Personal Issues containing a fair level of identifying information on the OP that was closed down by the Mods.

    Appearing for me when signed-in on Chrome, and also when signed-in on Firefox using 28064212's browser extension.

    Go to your Ignore List in your Profile and add them manually by typing in their username.

    The "draft saved" pop-up has started appearing again every time I try to type anything 😞

    The entire Net&Comms forum is broken. Both users and myself can't post/respond, or start new threads. The rest of the Technology category seems fine, it's just the Net&Comms forum alone.

    I'm on mobile and find some ads are causing the site to hang or freeze. I don't really like using adblockers because they require so many permissions.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,887 ✭✭✭✭Esel
    Not Your Ornery Onager


    What permissions exactly? It's a browser add-on.

    I've noticed this a few times, thought it was just me.

    Using Chrome.

    Edit: on mobile

    Another thing I've noticed in the last week is I'm getting repeat notifications a few days after the original. One example, I was quoted on a thread on Dec 24th,dismissed the notification, reviewed the thread and today got a notification again for the same thing again. This has happened a handful of times now.

    I'm getting this the last few days as well. Thought it was a problem with my phone.

    Using Chrome.

    Is Chrome the only browser with this issue? Do Chrome add-ons need particular permissions?

    I have a ad block on my PC with chrome but I have it disabled on this site so they can get a bit of revenue and I have always done so. If this site had more money they could have upgraded to Xenforo or some other feature packed forum software. The reason they went with what we have now is cost.

    Hi,

    Not sure where to post this, but I can’t see the full date on any posts at all. Only the month and year is currently showing. Is this a general bug at the moment?

    Thanks.
