New Forum Bug Reports & Suggestions

[david 929]

- When editing a post that you've already made, the "Notify me of replies" option doesn't come up.

- The emojis are poor quality, black and white. 😭

Maybe it would also be useful occasionally to be able to delete on's own posts.

 

And I wonder how the new forum would look on a fxtec Pro1..

Sorry for being kind of off topic, but is that yellow address bar a color set by the website, or is that your own personal touch?

Chrome on Android 9 changes its header automatically based on the website 🙂

I guess this is what I get for using firefox. 😄

Can't wait to play around with that beauty.

There's an option to start following a thread somewhere at the top which amounts to the same.

Thanks, you are right.  I did find that afterward and forgot to update the post.

I think you are allowed to report your own post, so you could do that and write something like "Please delete" in the optional reasoning box.

[mcdinner 375]

IMHO deleting own posts can be dangerous because you can use it to troll or fuck up conversations if you message just disappears.

Indeed, hence the way through moderation by reporting it, is a solution.

If I'm viewing the forum while not logged in, I get this box at the bottom:

I would take a guess and say it's supposed to be a cookie notification, but it just says that at the moment.

At last!!  Shame I can't access it at work anymore it trips the company firewall as inappropriate 🙂

I'll pop in now and again from home.

Hmm is there a mark all as read button somewhere? Can't see one.

I have not tried it, but in the top right of the topics overview I see this.

Less of a bug and more of a suggestion, but when an email is entered into the password reset field, the same page should be shown whether that email is found or not. Helps prevent against email aggregation using the reset password field. Once again, nothing major, and probably not worth fixing if it'll take too much time.

I agree that it could be a more complex common message. Somewhat like:

"If the entered email address was known a reset mail has been sent. If you do not receive it re-check that you have typed it correctly, and check your spam filter"

Looks very good. 👍

A way to not use the WYSIWYG editor when posting would be nice.

It's actually the first time I've ever seen it not have an "edit source" or equivalent button that would let you write your message as either BBCode or restricted HTML.

In many forums, if there is a new response to a thread, that thread pops to the top of the list.  So, I guess it's some kind of automatic sort based on last post date.  I like that feature.  Can that happen here?

Oh, sheesh, never mind.  I hadn't noticed that the top threads were pinned.  The forum does sort by latest response time.  🙄

However, this does raise another issue.  Apparently the edit button is a limited time deal.  I guess, again, to prevent deletion,  I personally prefer forums where I can edit any time. I only use it to fix bonehead mistakes.  However,I understand if you time it out to prevent deletions.

This is an issue I have seen no good solution for. Edit is good, but could easily be misused. The lack of edit is annoying too for obvious reasons...
