gregpj Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Admins: anyway we can remove the frame from the posted pics? it may interfere with the barcodes when being scanned. old forum did not insert the frame around the pics. i dont see the option to do advanced editing and remove it myself via code either I moved your post to this topic so it'll get the right exposure! Unless Jeff can work some behind the scenes magic, the 1px border is part of the underlying style associated to drawing images in a post. (Jeff - the style name is ipsImage_thumbnailed) Quote

gregpj Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Hey Jeff.. did something happen with timestamps on older posts? All of a sudden the "New Content" for today is showing 15 pages of old threads? At first I thought holy s, is nobody working today then realized they were all very old threads even though it was saying last post 2 hours ago. 1 Quote
BrickLegacy Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Anyone besides me having spell check issues? I have latest Firefox (was brand new install on brand new computer last week so I haven't had time to screw it up yet I don't think). In the text editor I get the red squiggly lines on mispelled words, but the only option in the context menu in the text editor are copy, cut and paste.I'm seeing that too with Chrome. The text editor must have its own right-click menu which is preventing the browser's standard right-click menu from working. I haven't researched if there is a workaround or not. I just keep typing the word a few different ways until the spelling sticks and the red squiggly lines go away. Worst case, I use google in a new tab to help. My spelling is terrible so I will be happy if there is a way to get this fixed at some point. 1 Quote
Jeff Mack Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 im signed up for text alerts (red5 santa) on tru and have not seen a text in a couple of weeks...is this feature down right now?Your text alerts will disable after a while if you are not clicking them. You would just need to go back to the alerts to make sure they are enabled. Are you getting emails? I have received several email alerts this morning on other sets.

Sprocket77 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Any chance of reinstating the flags under people's names so we can easily see where people are from. It was a handy feature to have, especially when people were talking about prices.I can still see the location on some profiles. 1 Quote
Cbenioff Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Guys, did you just come to this forum and post without reading? No offense intended but almost every day a user comes and posts about the mobile app or the mobile version of the forum not working great and the answer was just 3 posts earlier in this very thread. I know this particular forum isn't going to make people money, but I sure wish people would read it. It's almost as tiring as hearing about Pet Shop or Red 5 and their imminent retirements. I read and saw some feedback about apps I don't use and references to "bugs" for mobile users. This doesn't seem to be the same as the forums not working at all on any ipad or iphone. I view that as a bit worse than a bug and assumed I was experiencing something more severe than they were aware of. The point was to convey that numerous users can't even use the site... I stand by my post. An issue like this needs a dedicated post and I am not going to search around through numerous other posts when I can barely get the site to work. Quote
chezzzuk Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 +1 - I really miss the country flag feature as I have no idea of the context for the comment as it is very different interpretation depending of which country, not only on prices, but set availability and retirement discussion. Quote
10230 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) On the old site I often used the 'list of topics that most recently changed' section. A similar thing is the 'new content' page. At the place where it used to be we now have a 'list of most recent posts' which is not quite the same thing. Anyway - clicking on a topic in the 'new content' doesn't bring me to the oldest unread post in that topic, but usually the most recent. I really hate always having to scroll back to see where I left off reading. Is there any way to get the forum to go to the oldest unread post in a topic? Edited April 29, 2015 by 10230 Quote

What happens if you click the "star" or "big dot"? That should be what you're looking for. I read and saw some feedback about apps I don't use and references to "bugs" for mobile users.

I stand by my post. An issue like this needs a dedicated post and I am not going to search around through numerous other posts when I can barely get the site to work. Like I said... I wasn't trying to offend anyone, but I think that the mobile app issues have been asked at least a dozen times and forums not working well on iPads and iPhones and other mobile devices have been asked double that. But if you need a personal answer, the issue you are having is likely related to large images in thread posts. Its happening all over the place (to me as well). When a thread page has no images, it works fine. When a post on the page has an image (and the bigger they are the worse it seems) it'll just load a bit, error out, and continue until eventually Safari fails to load. Jeff and the forum developer are aware. I believe Jeff said he is expecting a forum update in the near future, hopefully that will address some of these issues. I hope that helps. Quote
legowalker Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Sorry if I'm asking in the wrong thread, where did the "Stockroom Collection" thread go? Can't seem to find it after the update. Wasn't it in the Investing forum? Quote

If you are on mobile, you can probably hold down on the image and save it to your gallery. There you won't have any border. Or if you are on a computer browser, right-click and open the image in a new tab. Then the image will be by itself. Edited April 29, 2015 by Jeff Mack 1 Quote

I believe those are older blog posts that have been reindexed 1 Quote

We are working on a lot of the previous plugins to make it work here. In the last 30 minutes, we just added a new working version of the Recent Posts homepage widget. You will see that it no longer includes more than one post from the same topic, it works exactly as the previous version did. You will also see at the bottom of each page (forums/threads), that there is the "Latest and Greatest" widget that will show you the Latest Posts, Topics, Hottest Topics, and Latest Blogs. We are getting rid of the Wordpress section of this site and it will be integrated back into this area. It will get more visibility this way, more comments and it is one less system to worry about.We will get to the country plugin very soon. 4 Quote

I guess since the blogs were hooked back up they started showing. I hope it remembers my choice. Thanks! Quote

Zelgazra Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Seapotato, yes, the app is broken for the time being, it's being updated by the dev team. The quick links at the bottom are pretty sweet, and appeared to be working exactly as intended on the day they were installed....However, now it is doing some really funky formatting, such that only 4 characters are shown per line, chopping thread titles up into near gibberish.... Probably already known, but I don't see any comments about it. For example I'm seeing under Latest Topics:20%offStarWarssetsontoysrus.de .....etc. title headers "Latest Topics" is formatted fine, but the rest are showing in broken lists like that. Quote

Zelgazra Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Oops, forgot to add, this issue is on mobile platforms with vertical orientation. Works fine when rotated horizontally still. Edited May 1, 2015 by Zelgazra Quote
