    Seems I got the notification but there was no number icon on the bell.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,410 ✭✭✭smuggler.ie


    pop-up show bottom right , as for number...doesn't it require refresh to show-up?

    Search still glitched for me anyway

    Hitting 'more' just reloads the first page, hitting it again does nothing and I can't get to the second page.

    This is still an issue. Went into a thread, page, clicked into another users profile instead of scrolling further down. Clicked back and it brought me to the last post on the thread with a lot more posts I hadn't seen. Had to go back 2 pages.

    If you "stop loading this page" right after page content is displayed jump does not happen.

    However, you might not be taken to your "last unread" post

    I could be wrong, but it seem that it goes like...

    1.load page content (not necessary last read/unread post, could be #latest post )

    2.load ad scripts

    3.adjust page to "last unread"* post, ...and this where jump occur

    * Note: "last unread" is somewhat questionable as not always work that way, perhaps its "first unread" and even if you skip few pages at the start, it might roll you back few pages that vanilla think you have not read yet, not sure.


    Furthermore, when page adjusted to "last unread"* post it align the post to the "top edge" of the page, absolutely ignoring top three page elements

    As per sample below, i selected to load post #4:

    Before page adjustment... (purposely changed .postbit-header color for "clear" view)

    image.png


    ...and after adjusted(here i purposely removed navigation bar to expose .postbit-header position )

    image.png

    Desk, FF, own custom CSS but same happens without it


    As it was already mentioned by some other poster, site seem so much customized from original vanilla that boards potentially themselves unable to trace whats and where causing distortions

    This is not a bug report just a general observation regarding everyone talking a bout how slow boards is. Well I have a 2Mb connection and boards loads really fast for me but reddit on the other hand does be loading for at least two minutes for me. Anyone else complaining about how slow boards is ever try reddit?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal

    I came here to ask what is the reason of these drop outs. I'm not criticising I'm just wondering what is the reason.

    Hi All,

    I have not received a response from Vanilla on these outages yet. There has not been any prior warnings put in place and I have not received any schedule for them. I have moved this request up the line with them and will update when I get a response. I appreciate how frustrating these outages are but I want to let you know that they are being looked into from our end. Thank you for your support and patience.

    Could they have been DDOA-related, @Boards.ie: Mike, would you say?



  • Administrators, Boards.ie Employee, Boards Employee 2, Boards Employee 3 Posts: 1,555 ✭✭✭✭✭Boards.ie: Mike


    I haven't had any reply on this from Vanilla so I couldn't say. Hoping to have some info back on these outages soon.

    Just noticed a post where the username on the post is different to the username on the user profile and in notifications.



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 79,073 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    Yes, that was flagged before on another thread, too. Not sure if it's being looked at.

    Ah yes I think that's Heather. I gave her a point recently for something and noticed the name changed to something that looked like the three word name generator for deleted users on the vanilla platform, I advised them to email boards or pm yourself Mike

    The ability to view posters' comments on desktop is broken again.

    If I click on their avatar, it gives me the number of discussions, and the number of comments - but if I click on comments it just brings me to the discussions started (or not). Clicking on the downarrow at the top right also doesn't work (I don't think that ever worked, to be fair).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,607 ✭✭✭✭thesandeman


    If I quote this post the old username of the ex poster shows up instead of the generated mixed up name.

    You have to laugh at the Search function. Broken beyond belief, from vBulletin to Vanilla, it seems the site is cursed when it comes to searching. I searched for the term Netflix there, a term certainly used daily on the site you'd imagine. Ten results on the first page, all as relevant as they've ever been...

    1) (Top Result) - 8 years old.

    2) 8 years old

    3) 5 years old

    4) 10 years old

    5) 3 years old

    6) 8 years old

    7) 4 years old

    8) 6 years old

    9) 6 years old

    10) 2 years old.

    ^^ The most recent result is two years old, at the bottom of the first page of search results. That just can't be right in this day and age. Utterly broken, always has been, looks set to always be too...

    what sort order do you have selected? the default is "Best Match" which is not very useful when you are searching for one word.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
