Not scrolling back through all the posts to check, but has anyone mentioned the avatar placeholder text when you refresh the page? I'm on Firefox. It's quite annoying as it flickers.

Might be a Firefox specific issue, as not seeing it with Chrome

The head to last unread post button isn't working for me.

It's either skipping unread posts or showing me posts I've already read.

Are you on Chrome beta?
I've got a similar issue where clicking on a thread notification or other post link is scrolling to the wrong place, often a couple of posts short of the actual post that caused the notification

 

[Armageus]

I'm on Chrome but not the beta.

May well be a more general bug then

Still no automatic image / media embed?

Embedding works fine and can include reddit, giphy, etc. that it didn't before.

Uploading and hosting images etc isn't and won't be supported afaik due to bandwidth concerns

How to search for my open mm threads? is searching by threads coming back.

You can go into the Members Market Section and then the Search box defaults to "this category", and search for your name in the member box.

I don't think there is a way to search specifically for threads you started or that are open, as yet though

 

[Armageus]

There is? Well, it's much easier to embed videos now, it edits the Youtube link automatically.

That was there before, but it has been expanded in the latest version to include more supported sites other than just youtube and twitter

The weird way the avatars render in Firefox isn't listed on page 1. Web standards apply everywhere, not just in Chromium based browsers.

It was, although I've added the "in Firefox" part

Avatars flickering with placeholder e.g. https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...he-op-for-known-issues.18951336/post-35582731

Is it possible to change it so I can see the exact time a post was made, when it's with the past 59mins window.
Right now there's no way to see that without manually calculating, so would/is there a setting to view the exact time instead?

Mine already does that e.g. currently showing "Today at 15:37"

 

[Armageus]

Same here...doesnt work

Maybe read the known issues before reposting something that is within the first 10 lines of the first post?

Lack of page numbers for a thread when viewing the ‘home page’ is a step back. I think they should be brought back.

And they likely will be - it's less than 24 hours since go live

Green is now in the colour picker at the top!

 

[Armageus]

Will stick with blue.

Once you've had black dark style, you don't go back though

 

[Armageus]

Noticed a change from the old forums that is minor, on the old forum when you clicked the Overclockers logo at the top it would open the store up in a new tab, now it isn't.

added to list

For anyone experiencing the Firefox avatar flickering issue, you can try the following:

Yes same problem with Firefox on Mac. Here's what I do to fix the issue:

To disable lazy load in Firefox follow these steps:
[LIST=1]
[*]Type about:config in the Firefox address bar.
[*]Click on the Accept the Risk and Continue button when the warning page is displayed.
[*]In the top search bar, enter dom.image-lazy-loading.enabled.
[*]Toggle the preference to false.

Browser issue - Lazy loading and Safari 15.4

Hello. I am testing Safari 15.4, which will be released next week, in which they have activated the lazy loading of images. I don't know if it only happens with Xenforo, but the images are not cached, they are always loaded from the network with lazy loading. I think it's more of a Safari...

xenforo.com

I think I must be in the minority for not liking this new look.

Any reasons in particular? If so have they been raised and are they included in the first post?

Improvements are still going on

 

[Armageus]

Has there been some 'pruning' here? Posts have disappeared, some irrelevant stuff about MM feedback but also my follow up post about a bug with the notifications banner. That or my PC had a stroke?

That was me - I deleted the off topic MM feedback stuff, but accidentally caught your other post

 

[Armageus]

I used the conversation and trust systems for obtaining email addresses for those wanting Sky F&F codes but unless they now put their email address in the feedback, publically visible I can't get their codes to them. Is the 'on profile' feedback going to be the only option or will there be an option to communicate directly in private with someone?

You should be able to start a conversation with someone (little icon next to your profile name in the top right)

First post tidied up and issues categorized

 

[Armageus]

Just to add, it seems to be themed on the Alternate Style, but none of the rest if that is helpful at all?

Thanks - just updated that

 

[Armageus]

it was completely unusable just like this update anyone who first used the last update on mobile will have remembered.

It's hardly "completely unusable"
