The software resizes itself to work on a mobile. 

From where and how are you accessing the threads that it's not taking you to the last read post?

From the board index if you want to get to the last read post do not click on the thread title. Click on the dot/star to the left of the thread title. That will take you to the last read post. If the circle or star is unclickable then there is no new content in the thread.

Look at the top right of the screen and click on your name and a drop down box will open. Click on Profile and then when you see your avatar on the left hand side of the page and click on it and follow the prompts.

My avatar is clipped in the new circular shape. 

 

I have no idea in this new software how or where to alter my avatar. This is not urgent so when the important stuff is done can you let is know how to fix this.

This is what happens when I try to  add a reply, it picks up my previous post in the same topic. I either have to delete everything or log out of site and re enter. Others are probably experiencing the same. Great work on the site by the way.

I think it's meant to be like that. In previous versions if you began to write a post and something happened and you went back the post was gone. This version saves what you had in there. It works so well though that it can be a nuisance. For example if you write a post but never send it because you changed your mind or cooled down it's still there waiting for you but only in that thread or message. The message meant for that thread that was never sent won't follow you into other threads. If you see it highlighting it and deleting it is the best way to get rid of it so it won't be there next time. 

 

ManDee can you try to post again and tell me if it's still there?

Did not happen this time as I had been logged out.

[Demonland 73,495]

Ok keep an eye on it and let me know.

[ManDee 7,320]

Yeah the notifications can be overwhelming. You can switch them off. Are you using a PC or mobile device?

PC - Click the Bell icon at the top of the page (right side between Create and the envelope) and then click Notification Settings and tailor it to suit your needs.

Mobile - Top right of the page is an icon with 3 white horizontal lines. Click it to open it and then click the Bell icon and then click Notification Settings.

[DeeZee 7,445]

Thanks for that.

I just noticed that when it happened to me.

It's fairly discernible though when you go to click in the body and begin typing a post.

For me this happening when I haven't started writing a post and then not sent it and then I go back and that post is still there. It will remain there until you delete it or post that post or something else within that thread.

What it is doing is auto-saving the post for you.

Are you saying that this is not what is happening and the same post you have already posted is remaining there or popping up in other threads?

When I go to begin a new papragraph, I have to manually select upper case.

 

anyone else?

This is an example. I posted this comment days ago but in this instance it's somehow reappeared.

On a computer or mobile device? I believe on a computer this is normal keyboard behaviour.

On an iPhone when you start a new sentence wherever a new paragraph or not it automatically selects an upper case.

You should teach daisycutter how to do it.

Try pressing the space bar after the full stop and then hitting return. If you don't hit the spacebar after a full stop and just hit return it won't go to upper case. Hitting the space bar after a full stop will engage the upper case. This is nothing to do with the forum but the iPhone in general. 

Also a quick way to get a full stop is by double tapping the spacebar at the end of a sentence. That will also engage the upper case because it will automatically create a space after the full stop.

no chance 

it's the manual part i struggle with, plus it would require the use of two fingers......far too much complication

Having a lot of trouble with it on Safari/Mac OSX. For example, impossible to Quote or even reply properly ... having to do this in Google Chrome.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Just replied to you using safari on a Mac and quoting so no I am not experiencing this. 

What version of OSX are you? What version of Safari?

You can find these by clicking the Apple symbol in the top left corner of the screen and selecting the first option About the Mac.

To find the version of Safari. Open Safari. Click the word Safari at the top left of the screen and select the first option About Safari.

I couldn't keep up with IT  these days  as a job.. ( speaking as a past Systems Engineer..Novel, Microsoft, Unix , Mac) ..lol. You do a marvelous job Dland.

[bing181 9,425]

Quoting is difficult across the board it seems, some comments (last few posts) on the WADA thread allude to it. It's not just me, and seems from the comments there, not just on a Mac:

"My quote function isn't working"

"quoting is perilous atm"
