Left he/him Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 So...maybe I just don't understand the site well enough, but I've got an issue with mobile. I use the unread topic/post list function a Lot. I almost never browse the forums without it. When im on the list and click on a topic, it always sends me to the first post, not the most recent that I haven't read. Which is pretty annoying. Now I found an option to change the stream so that when I select a topic it takes me to the first unread post, and that makes it better. But I can't make the site do that Every time, I have to change the setting every time I come onto the Shard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want this setting to be remembered for the stream you use, then after applying the change you have to "Save As New Stream". Give this stream appropriate name and save. Now, you should be redirected to this new stream's page. Right next to it's name there are three small icons: a pen, a trashcan and a check sign. Click this check sign to make this stream your default stream. Now, when you click the newspaper icon on the top of the page you should be taken to this new stream that behaves as you'd expect Hope that helps 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That takes you to the first unread. That works so long as you haven't read the thread yet. But if you've caught up and want to go back for some reason, say to post or quote someone, that icon disappears and you have to click into the first page of the thread before you can navigate to the end. Not having the page numbers on the screen makes it a bit less efficient than it used to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent he/him Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 On desktop, there is a timestamp (e.g. "June 14", or "7 hr") all the way to the right, which I can click and go to the last post. I see it is also available on mobile, right under the last commenter's avatar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haelbarde he/him Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hovering over it, for me it says "Storing 324 messages (max. -1)". I'm hypothesizing that Oudeis has 135 PMs in his inbox, and Kaymeth has 50 PM in hers, and that everyone has a inbox capacity of -1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news, I have been having issues with the Quote function on my mobile. For some reason, whenever I quote someone and then try to add my input to the post, I can't type anything in the Reply box. Like, my keyboard will come up, but when I hit the letters, nothing appears in the Reply box. Also, whenever I try to reply to this thread from my mobile, it automatically quotes this post by Slowswift without my telling it to. And because of the first problem I mentioned, that keeps me from replying to that thread via mobile at all. In case it matters, my smartphone is a Samsung Galaxy S3, and whenever I attempt to post here with it, I am using a Wi-Fi connection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Bard he/him Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I'm not sure if this has been discussed, but you no longer seem to be able to see the breakdown of how many posts everyone made in a given thread by hovering over the "(x) replies" section in the subforum. Is there a reason for this, or is it accidental? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop hacking plz <3 I'm working on this but those icons appear in more places than topic lists so I'm figuring out how to do this properly. Nontrivial changes. By the way, I stopped messing with it, but then much later it finally kicked in (I think because I finally restarted, don't have to do that often): it looks bad because I'm not doing it the right way, but it does help, so whenever you can figure out the right way for it to work, it'll be much appreciated. Don't stress yourself about it too much, though, it's a relatively minor concern. :-) jW 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightness Enna she/her Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Just BTW, the newest news article thingy (Social stuff for June) didn't show up well on my mobile device just now. Using chrome on an iPhone. The content of the article spilled out into normal desktop ratio. The header was a little funky, too, but most of everything else was normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlion Blight he/him Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Reposting to the proper topic this time! The following issue occurs when I use the forum on my phone: if I have a quote box object in my reply and decide I don't need it, I can not get rid of the quote box. I can change the text/delete the text within the quote, but the box remains. If I go to another thread without submitting and come back to it later, the quote box willl still be there. Essentially, to clear the "add reply" area of the quote box, I need to submit it.

A Joe in the Bush Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 So, i figured out how to remove quote boxes and spoilers from posts. you have to double click the box above the text, until there's a thin blue border around the entire box, then you hit backspace. It works for me when quoting people, or when I manually put in the quote box. I've been having a problem with quoting on mobile. Whenever I quote a post, i lose the ability to fix mistakes. It won't let me backspace or otherwise remove words that I have written outside of the quote box, and instead it often tries to force me to type in the URL box. This only happens on Mobile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRyan he/him Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 @The Only Joe I think it helps @Chaos if you post what mobile device you are using and what browser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos he/him Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Going to be honest, there isn't a great deal I can actually do to fix issues with the editor. It's pretty complex, and I don't like spending the effort reverse engineering the software as that will make software updates difficult. Sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jondesu he/him Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Understandable. One final question on the editor, at least from me: is there an option (without demanding much effort from you, or possibly already enabled), to use a simple text input instead of the rich text editor. I can use another app to write long posts, but that's not practical all the time, and it'd be nice to have an option to avoid some of the quirks. jW 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos he/him Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 That doesn't really exist. But if you're typing in the box and don't use any formatting then it should work fine. I would say for extremely long posts, as always, you should type in another editor anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eki Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Not to mention that BBCode still works, so you don't HAVE to use the buttons or anything. Obviously doesn't quite work for quotes, but still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
