List your forum glitches/issues

[El Presidente]

We have been a little behind in taking care of some forum glitches and the full rollout of the forum. Jason (our IT guru) has taken a few weeks away from the forum to handle some personal family tragedy. On behalf of us all Jason, our deepest condolences 

We are back on track as of next week in the maintenance schedule. 

It has been requested to put up a list of forum glitches "and or frustrations" to see what we can take care of in the short term. 

I received this one yesterday, but so please list them and we will take care of them (where possible) one by one. 

If you have found a work around on anything listed, please detail it. As always on tech issues, the more heads in the game, the better the outcome. 

Cheers folks 

 I am having some annoying forum tech issues. Extremely slow responses on clicks, page jumping so I click on the wrong items and worst of all every thread title is written vertically with no spaces.  im using a samsung tablet.

I havent faced the above problem. Not even once.

 

What I'd like to see is when visiting a thread you go straight to the first non-read yet post.

My notifications for the US forum never work, they used to work randomly but now never for new or commented posts. I only get notifications for this main one.

Pictures always post sideways unless I open it in paint first and edit it.

No real issues @the moment we're a few early on but Jason pop the hood and they were fixed

Uploading a picture from an iPhone via the website using Safari results in the photo uploading rotated 90 degrees to the left. On tapatalk it uploads fine.

Hope your family keeps well Jas! The site can wait mate

Where is the problem? Clicking on the red dots or stars in lead of each tread in the topic listing gets you directly to your first unread post.

I stand very much corrected. Fugu, I'd like to give you a hug. That saved my index finger a lot of scrolling. 

Complaint rescinded.

Sounds like you have a bad case of OzCuban-itis

[RickHendeson]

You can no longer see the people viewing each post.  On the 24/24 for example, sometimes I would give someone a heads-up -- or not bother, if I see they're already there.  No longer can do that

I get an error message logging in via tapatalk

Two really BIG problems:

1.  Really LOUD shirts, and

2.  Bare feet in the camera.

I'm not quite sure what IT can do about either, but they're a smart bunch of lads, let them have a go!

I'm worried I might get yelled at like this poor fella did, but I don't seem to be able to leave trader feedback for someone who has no feedback.  Maybe its just a mobile glitch--haven't tried non-mobile yet?

Dont worry, besides me and 1 or 2 guys everybody else is nice here.

Sorry, again, Fugu.

 

Now serious: not intuitive at all clicking beside a thread.

That was a feature on the old forum.

I sometimes reply to a thread thru tapatalk, and naturally get subscribed to the thread. Next thing I see, is my email flooded with email notifications of replies. I have to go back to my desktop computer, or safari on iphone, click on notifications settings for the said thread, and choose no email notification. That used to be the default before the update, no flood of emails. I wonder if the default can be set to no email notifications, and then one can adjust.

But overall I like the upgrade. Site is fast and search is excellent.

[LordAnubis]

It seems there is no longer a minimum post count to talk on the chat box.

 

[anacostiakat]

I would like to be able to view who is on as soon as I log in like in the old version.  Also I would prefer that the banner (if that is what it is) be smaller as I am too damn lazy to keep having to scroll down as much as I have to  get down and view the actual forums.

I'm pretty sure this has been covered before, but how do I immediately access a topic's last page, when on a browser? Nowadays I have to first access the first page, and only select the last one within the topic.

[Blazer]

This may be more of a user error issue than a glitch, but I normally access the site via the Unread Content section to read the latest posts. However, when I click on that content it takes me to the first post in the thread and then I have to page through to the actual new content. Is there a way to click in that section and go directly to the latest post?
