ShadowSot Posted May 30, 2016 #380 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Had issues lately where when replying to a thread I've already replied in it auto populates a post I've already made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Susie, when your avatar was smaller in the old version, I couldn't tell that it was snowing. Now I can see it! Am loving the upgrade and appreciate it far more than the few features that were removed, and I'm still on dial-up. *searches* Why is there no "dinosaur smiley" yet? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into your profile and you'll see a little camera on your profile pic. Click on it and select upload. Then just re-upload your avie. That's what worked for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saru Posted May 30, 2016 Author #384 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Updates: Post numbers have been re-added to the forum Fixed issue with comment counts on main site "Back to top" button added to the forum footer To link someone to a specific post you can either right-click on the number and select "copy link address" or click the share icon on the right to open a dialog box and then copy the link from there. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice that the post numbers are the total post count for the entire forum since it began. Are they going to go back to starting at post #1 for the beginning of each thread like they used to? Your post was #5852655 and doesn't reflect how many posts are in this particular thread..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Saru Posted May 30, 2016 Author Popular Post #386 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Update: Post numbers are now relative to the individual thread as oppose to the overall forum total As the new version of Invision Board doesn't support this feature at all I've had to custom build it, so let me know if you run in to any bugs. The page numbering should be working the same as it used to on the old forum. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ouija ouija Posted May 30, 2016 #387 Share Posted May 30, 2016 YAY, regarding the post numbers! Thanks for sorting that out Saru. Any chance of getting 'top' buttons on every post as before? Sorry to sound ungrateful but the one button at the bottom of the page still means there's an awful lot of scrolling required And 'Friends' it really would be lovely to have that system back again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted May 30, 2016 #389 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Indeed, as Saru and others here have pointed-out, there WILL be "teething pains" as the intricacies of an admittedly dynamic site get worked-out. I truly feel that Saru and Company understands our "complaints", but also for all of us to post "what seems to be working, what seems to be not working" so that what seems not stable, by us, is known to him. Reminds me of "Beta" roll-outs. As users we should do our best to describe whatever specific "gripe" we might have; not entirely bastardise the new system. Recall that Saru mentioned that the "support cycle" of the previous format has expired. So, there is little choice but to upgrade. Let us all support this needful decision, and be helpful (as everyone is) in pointing-out "bugs" that should be corrected. This will take time. I recall one "beta-rollout" from another company that took nearly 3-months to work-out all the bugs, and was successful in the end. Their site is now effective, user-intuitive and content seamless. But it took time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saru Posted May 30, 2016 Author #391 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Update: The "Post Preview" is back - with a twist To access it when writing a post, click the icon which looks like a page with a magnifying glass over it. This will enable you to see how your post will look across all three device types - desktop, tablet and mobile. Clicking the "X" in the top right of the editor will close the preview window. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted May 30, 2016 #392 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Thank you, that's cleared that. That's still slightly annoying, when if you select "Quote" but for some reason decide not to post, there seems to be no way to get rid of it except to just go ahead & post it, even if it doesn't contribute much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two ways to remove a quote if you don't want to post it: 1. You can just click on the quote box ( it will highlight in blue ) and hit "delete". 2. Alternatively press CTRL and right-click and you will get a menu with the option to delete the quote. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have noticed that as well. It is "annoying" as that should not be the case. A decision NOT TO POST should completely blank the pre-post screen?

Space Commander Travis Posted May 30, 2016 #395 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Ah i see, i keep trying the "click on quote box and hit delete', but it never seems to work. The CTRL-right click dodge seems to work, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's happening is the editor saves what you write so that if you accidentally move off the page you don't lose your post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you right-click while holding down 'CTRL', a little menu comes up as Saru said, and you can select 'Remove Quote' or 'Remove Quote but Keep contents'. But you have to keep the cursor inside the quote box. Edited May 30, 2016 by Otto von Pickelhaube 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted May 30, 2016 #400 Share Posted May 30, 2016 For all... Please continue specifically describing a "complaint" So hard to remediate, or the potential for it, without specificity. This new site can only progress in "stabilization" by YOU, the user. All of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
