V3 Bug/Suggestion Box

[Ryan]

My phone, my laptop, my iPad, my PC, multiple different operating systems all have the same problem?

beats me… I’m guessing caching issue or user error. It would be expected to have that behavior after we first launched, but your cookies should be clear by now.

I can’t really fix what I can’t reproduce on any browser or machine.

 

[Old Man Roger]

Guess so. Not sure what to tell you.

I would log out, clear cookies and reboot. Then log back in.

Ya, done that multiple times. I’ve just accepted it at this point lol

Now you’re being insulting. It’s not very difficult to click on a thread title. User error, ppfftt.

sorry about that. Didn’t all mean to insult ya.

some one suggested, within a post, that a nice feature would be to allow rotation of photos inserted in a post. I guess some phones notoriously rotate photos 90° and make them nauseating to look at.

Is the "PM" - private message system still working? If it is, how does it present itself so we know someone has contacted us?
thanks

Envelope button at the top.

Messages are Conversations.

got it ! I was thrown by term "conversations"

Ryan,

It would be handy to have the Thread Name displayed somewhere when viewing the thread. I currently have to move the mouse to the browser tab to remind myself what thread I'm viewing. Low priority, at best.

Thanks

#1... sweet! I just copied-pasted a screen shot from MS Paint into a reply
#2... I misspelled a word in the quick reply, it had the red squiggle line under it, went to fix it and the entire paragraph freaked out.

Ok, I've got a question now. When I pick multiple messages to quote, and insert the quotes into the reply box, I no longer see a way to pick the order that the quotes appear in the box. I can edit the content of the quotes, but cannot cut out the code from the quote itself. Am I just missing something?

 

[mr.lemons]

Noticed today that when I copy/paste text from another website, the forum keeps some formatting rather than converting to plain text. Not sure if this is intentional.

example copied from amazon.


Minor annoyance, have to press one more key.

If you don't like this functionality, you can remove the formatting with this button:

To move the quotes around, you can drag them:

Ah, NOW I see it. I was just stupidly clicking past that screen. Thanks!

I think that only works on formatting applied from the other buttons. Doesn't seem to work on copied text.

humm…just worked for me… But there must be some inconsistencies with it.

this has been implemented… sort of… you gotta do it while posting or editing.

Did Free Parking disappear for about 30 seconds ?

Not that I know of...

 

[NUTTSGT]

Ok, maybe poor internet and it didn't load properly...l swear it disappeared for a few.

Doesn't matter, it's there now.

You know when I was posting a thread earlier, I thought it was missing too. I didn’t see it in the list when I clicked on “forums” but then when I clicked on ”post new thread”it was there.

 

[Ryan]

I am working on some automated processes to fight against political posts, spam, etc... at the moment... It's possible that one of my scripts took it off the list... Not sure why it would do that, but possible.

 

[Trapps]

"Is this already being discussed?"

Winning feature.

No big deal, just wanted to check and if anything, make you aware if there was an issue.

 

[Strouty]

Ryan, the “jump to new” button is nice, but it goes away if you subscribe to a thread, then whenever you go to the thread and their are no “new posts” it keeps you on the first page. This is really annoying when I go to my own threads to add a post, what should be a quick thing turns into a multi step process.

 

[Strouty]

Another thing, can you have an automatic double space inserted between attachments? It is near impossible to get them separated and I usually like to add a bit of text or at least a break between images.

 

[Ryan]

Yes sir. I’ll put both on the list.

Mike,
I have logged out cleared cookies and mine still lands me wherever it wants to. Usually close to the beginning, everytime I open my thread it starts me at post 1, every time. Ryan said it needed time to populate the cookies,

If you have no unread posts on your thread, it should take you to post 1 by design. I don’t like that… at all… and hope to change it.

However, if you have new posts on the thread, clicking the title should take you to the first unread.

 

[harley jim]

I wasnt aware of that, I'll take note and see what happens, thanks for what you do.

 

[Old Man Roger]

I don’t know if this is new, but when I use my iPad in the vertical position, the tool bar that is usually between the Quick Jack ad, and the Garage Journal banner, disappears.

I mostly use it in the horizontal position, but I figured you might wanna know.

Desktop with windows 10pro, in chrome...

If I click the back button about one time in ten I get this;



The only way to escape is to go back one more step and then reselect the page I was in from the forum tree. I can't go forward again and get a reload of the page. Clearing the cache did not help.

Not a big deal at all, but seemed noteworthy. I've had this for the last four or five days.

This is a known bug in Chrome.

Ryan,

Going into some threads I've previously read to the end I am sent to the first page. Clicking on the 'Jump to new' I'm not being taken to the 'new' post but to a earlier post (which I've already read) that shows the new tag at top right. Backing up one page and clicking on the 'Jump to new' again I am taken to the real 'new' post. At this point, previous posts no longer have the new tag.

This does not happen frequently, but often enough I thought you might be interested.

 

[drivesitfar]

Ryan: there is a banner on the bottom of the page asking for permission to enable push notifications. what am I (we) giving permission for and why?

I know you are working on it, but I still get first page first post when clicking on threads I'm watching and have been posting on for years. also is there a way you can put the pages at the top instead of JUMP TO NEW? any setting available to get more posts per page like before when you could check a box asking for 100 posts per page?

I never used TAPA TALK on my cell phones and I guess I'm glad I didn't since it sounds like it's one of the reasons you did this change?

Any option to turn off the hover thread title preview or make the delay longer. Its bad enough with one thread, but sometimes the preview from another thread doesn't close right away.

It seems to be turn off automatically here if I point into the body of the messages (move the mouse down between the messages). If I point up into the message box
edit
it takes its time.
the message box stays till I move the pointer out of it.
edit

I see we're all showing as new members. Will that fix itself?
