RavenHawk Posted June 1, 2016 #452 Share Posted June 1, 2016 6 hours ago, Saru said: There's no way to do this - the forum ( and database ) have been completely reworked to use the new editor. For the vast majority of users though the new WYSIWYG editor is much easier to use. If you’re wanting honest feedback, that’s a crappy answer. The decision makers need to make more informed decisions before purchasing a new product. In any kind of advanced system like this forum, you always need to have a fallback raw editor. I really don’t like to fight trying to outthink the app in where it thinks I want quoting, line spacing etc. If you don’t want honest feedback, then I love it. I’ll learn how to use it better and find the tricks to get around things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daughter of the Nine Moons Posted June 1, 2016 #453 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Take it down a notch Ravenhawk. Saru takes everything under advisement and is providing you an honest timely answer. If you don't like it then tough. This is still the best run forum on the internet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An informed decision on whether to update a piece of software is not based on whether or not you personally approve of it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted June 1, 2016 #455 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I am using my tablet and it has no status update section. The old version gave me the option of viewing everything. Now it does not and I have no status updates. I like the new site but there seems to be too many things to do....as if they have tried to make things easier but all its done is made it really confusing for the technolgically challenged. Sometimes those sitting at computers programming all day need to realise, some of us like the simpler things in life. Anyway, am not complaining....really....just want to know why I have no easy way of finding the status updates on my tablet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted June 1, 2016 Author #456 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Status updates on mobile/tablet are going to be looked at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted June 1, 2016 #457 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Ok thankyou. Can you give your webmaster an extra cookie to speed it up, my laptop has packed up and I do not want to start a thread asking Mark One when he is going to the chippy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted June 1, 2016 Author #458 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Well you're in luck, I had the next set of updates ready to announce anyway. Update: All sidebar widgets ( yes, including status updates ) now appear on mobile devices at the bottom of the page Fixed home page statistics The comment box on main site news and videos is now working again Signatures have been rebuilt and no longer show old BBcodes The post rebuild process has been fixed and is running again I believe this means that pretty much everything available on desktop is now available for users on mobile/tablet as well. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're getting there now - especially when the post rebuild finishes. The other main issues ( disabled activity stream options and tags ) are being investigated by two Invision developers.

It catches the eye way too much, plus, it eats space from other columns (when zooming to the point it switches to tablet). There were already complaints from folks with poor eyesight (I'm not an eagle myself) about that switching. Anyway, that isn't critical. I'm already getting used to the new look of the forum.
