When your done reading the forum/had your fill, hit “mark forums read” at the top of the page. When you come back, select what’s new and your right where you left off.
V3 Bug/Suggestion Box
- Thread starter Ryan
- Start date
Sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant in any sub forum, be able to go to a certain page of a thread (not subforum pages), not just the first or last post as it's currently set up now. On the desktop site you can click on like page 1, 2...9,last page, for a specific thread.
Mobile site you can only click the "thread title" (that gets you to the first post) or last reply "X minutes ago" (that jumps you too the very end of the thread). See my screenshot I posted above.
And actually now that I've tried it, I like the desktop site better viewing on a phone. Any way to set the view to desktop site instead of mobile when on a phone? I can set it in my browser settings but then have to change it back to mobile fit other sites..

Can you make it 3 different posts per 24 hours instead of 3 different edits in 24 hours?

That doesn't even really work. Put it back the way it was..lol Seriously.
I'm on Android and can change it to desktop but it changes it for every site, not just this one.

Can you make it so the original editing capability remains? I think it was something like you could edit your posts for 30 minutes or something like that?

I noticed the buttons have gotten smaller. I actually like that because now in Free Parking where the ad is you can use the one at the top of the page instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom. Thanks for that.

I've got a question regarding uploading PDF files.
This thread, post #22
I first tried to upload a PDF and after I saved it, then checked the post and tried to download it, all I got was a file called "Download.html" and I thought (??) but downloaded it anyway, and then clicked on the download and nothing happened.
Then I uploaded the files to my Google Drive, copied the link into the description and it showed this link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CaH2YArz0yNCuQJTUNK104O14pGYIWyX/view?usp=sharing
OK, that worked fine, no problem. Then I realized I wanted to upload another PDF so I uploaded it to Google Drive and got the link as I always do and when it got posted it came up like this:
drive.google.com
and it showed this image below.
Pretty neat, so I copied the at the end of the link, and pasted it into the first link. Then when I saved the message, it didn't change the first link to like the cool looking link even though I replaced the front and end from the cool looking link

You are gonna have to work on your spelling homie... Cuz I'm done on that front. Sorry.
Sorry to keep posting Ryan but noticed this dashboard pop up on the top of the main home page on mobile view. Not sure if it should be there? It opens up some admin looking thing.
That's strange. Not sure why you would get that... You still getting it?

Dude... you need to gather your thoughts... and then post. That way, you don't have like 5 posts in a row.
And this isn't like any other forum in the world.
Tell ya what though. I will increase it to 15 per hour.
Yep. Just on the main home page https://www.garagejournal.com/

Edit:
Well, it's not the forum software, it's the browser I'm using. Slimjet is a clone of Chrome and has served me well, but when I tried the link in FireFox, WaterFox (a Firefox clone) it worked as expected. So for some reason Slimjet is converting the valid forum link to something stupid.
Sorry to have bothered you, with all the stuff you have going on. I'll report back if I come up with a solution.

Hey Ryan, instead of an Android phone, you can just run an Android emulator on your desktop.
Android Studio includes a great emulator, is free, and available for MacOS, Windows and Linux.

I posted this in the "I'll miss this place R.I.P old format" thread (post #237), but it might be better here. Apologies if cross-posting the same content is verboten.
For those that don't like specific elements of the new style (the font, or text colour/size), try a browser extension that can modify it at your end.
(Technically, re-writing the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) at the client browser)...
Stylebot is an example for Chrome, but there's plenty of options...
I love the new site the way it is, but I just had a quick play with it out of interest. It's super-easy to click on an element (like the body text) and change the font, size and colour, and it applies across all threads.
If you can't be bothered taking the time to tweak things to your own liking, have a think about how Ryan feels trying to tweak things to EVERYBODY's liking.

Hey Ryan,
I have a few Conversations, (AKA PM's) that were brought over from the VB version. I'm unable to LEAVE, (AKA Delete) these conversations. Any how to correct this ?

Has this been increased to 15 per 24 hour period? I ask because I got the error about hitting my max post edit limit last night and I'm still getting the error this morning 8 hours later.Dude... you need to gather your thoughts... and then post. That way, you don't have like 5 posts in a row.
And this isn't like any other forum in the world.
Tell ya what though. I will increase it to 15 per hour.
Hopefully you will keep unlimited editing period going forward so I can maintain my threads as months go on. 10-15 edits per 24 hour period should be fine in a regular scenario for me. But since the forum change over, I find myself editing a lot of historical content in my threads to take care of the font size issue that arose with the forum changeover. (My crazy OCD is probably shining through about now... there's a reason why my shop is called the ASYLUM, you know!!)
Since its "super easy" to implement, I would like to request that you open the editing up greatly (unlimited would be best) for the next week or two (or three) as I clean up threads. Once I get over the hump, I would be fine with much tighter limits and can work with whatever rules you set.
Thanks. Keep up the great work!
Edit: Thanks for taking care of this Ryan.

Thank you so much for the fantastic job of maintaining and now upgrading the forum. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
There is one little feature in the new forum which is a bit annoying and that is the font. In particular the top of the letters such as t and h instead of straight are curved to the left and this makes it hard to read and annoying. Interestingly enough on my iPhone accessing the forum using Safari browser does not have this issue.
Is there anyway we can change the fonts?
Keep up the great work
Cheers

Nothing new, but wanted to report that I’m also getting the lag when scrolling using Safari on Mac OS Big Sur. I view some other forums using Xenforo and haven’t run into this issue.
OP
I'm not sure I understand why that would be happening if you aren't using some crazy browser plugin as the page is wayyyy lighter than the old site. I have three generations of iPad here and can't seem to reproduce.
What kind of machine are you on?
javyLSU
Well-known member
Mid-2015 MacBook Pro. I absolutely thought it was my machine, so I closed/restarted my browser, then visited a few other forums I remember migrated to Xenforo and cannot reproduce the lag. I have zero browser extensions installed, I hate those things. I forgot to try using Chrome on that machine, I’ll try it later and report back.
