The 'Delete draft' button will not remove the text from your visible cache. If you type a post, then click on 'Delete draft', you will still see your text in the draft space. Moreover, if you hit the [Post reply] button, it will post the text you typed. But, if you leave the thread and come back to it, it will be gone. Technically, your draft post is deleted.
AAAH! Thank you. I changed the page, but I never left the thread.

On a PC I would’ve just highlighted and deleted, but that can be difficult on the phone.
On my Android phone I can select text by long-pressing a word until the text selection mode is activated. I can then either use the cursor handles to move/modify the selection, or choose "Select All" from the pop-up box. YMMV.

Seems to be some new ads running today that shrink the forum window, apply a border and then a large banner in the bottom 1/4 of the screen.

Kind of obtrusive.....

Half I’m not the only one. They make the site very hard to read and follow.

I was trying to edit my signature box with correct Instagram link. Had a notification, only two links in your signature is allowed. Is this a new thing or am I doing something wrong? I use to have three links, my garage thread, Youtube and Instagram. Not a big deal, just want to know if I'm messing something up (y)

I get that message occasionally when trying to log in, if I have two instances of the splash screen loaded.
X out of one of them then good to go.
Not sure if the bold quote is part of the message.

A tad wide, but looks okay on PC and tablet. Really loving how XF displays on mobile iOS. So much better.
Ryan, is there an option to disable the generic avatars?
The colors are distracting and take up real estate for no real purpose.
Much appreciation for the adjustments so far!
I can not figure out how to disable avatars and this post shows up when searching for it.

I there a way to disable avatars in general like you can do with signatures?

Thank you.

I know using Android using either the Chrome browser or Firefox browser a lot of times when I hit the notification button, I get a security error.
Sometimes I get it just when I hit like.
Also the font was too too small I had to start using Firefox instead of chrome and I was able to increase the size of my font in settings it's easier to read for me now. Before, it was too light and too small.
If you're having that issue you may want to try using Firefox and increase the font size in your settings.......you're Firefox settings that is.

As of now, no option available. I wish there was.

Yes I know what you mean, they don't bother me too too much, just the animated ones used to bother me on my PC because it's not the fastest system in the world and the most memory and resources and all that.
Therefore it would tend to slow my page down a little bit.
Using Microsoft edge on the PC I don't seem to see that issue as much I don't think edge is too hard on resources?

I'm also getting the Home Depot links sending me to random items, not the one the post is trying to direct me to.

I get this error all the time. In my case it's related to inserting images via URLs to my SmugMug galleries.

My workaround, which is kind of frustrating, is to save my initial post with no images and then add them back in via multiple edits of the post. It would be nice to have this not happen.

I was looking for a thread and realized the search results weren’t in chronological order. I searched through a few pages, but never did find the thread.

The only thing I could remember about the thread was that it had the word ‘’toys’’ in the title. I entered the word ‘’toy’’ in the search bar and clicked the option to search titles only.

I’m not looking for help finding the thread, just making it known that the search result were not in any noticeable order. I looked at a few threads from the results, thinking maybe they were in order based on either the last or maybe the first post, but they were not.

Maybe this only happens while using the “Search Titles Only” button?

@Ryan

I haven't been on much lately, too much OT and personal life so maybe I missed this. About 90% of my posts have come from my phone in the last month or so.

Stickies only appear on the first page ?

In the last month I find that Amazon links in posts get rerouted through a lot more sites and then either hang or go to the Amazon home page 75% of the time. this is with an Apple ipad or a pc running Firefox. If I manually copy the text of the link, it works fine.

i routinely hit the "edit limit". can you please increase or remove it?

the edit limit is the reason I have at least a couple un-finished threads here.
my typing error rate is off the charts. I regularly have to edit a post three or four times just to correct stupid spelling errors or punctuation.

I always sends me to my own Amazon home page.

I also have an issue trying to copy and paste on this site, when I try to adjust the blue highlight to pick what I want to copy, it scrolls the whole page.
