The online indicator still covers the last digit of the MoH year when viewing on mobile though

 

[Armageus]

I think that's been marked as fixed on the first post, wanna move it back to unfixed?

Done

 

[Armageus]

been getting this a lot with the ukraine thread.

think it's loading embedded tweets after it's scrolled to the first unread post, then the tweets load pushing you up the page.

doesn't seem to happen on other threads that aren't so heavy on the embedded content.

I've linked your post into the first post, so hopefully will help when the issue gets investigated.

How do you do bullet lists without having to resort to manually writing the code?

You don't, but it is listed as a known issue

 

[Armageus]

The breadcrumb menu is oddly formatted on mobile, inconsistent spacing between each menu entry and trailing '<'. Breadcrumb separator has inconsistent direction between desktop and mobile versions, desktop = '>', mobile = '<'.

Added to first post

 

[Armageus]

The gap between the back arrows between sections seems to be off (not evenly spaced).

The arrows are also the wrong way round compared to almost every website ever made

 

[Armageus]

Hardware 2fa support added/enabled.

What does that mean?

Since I last posted in the jonny Depp thread there has been more replies. I have just this second clicked on the envelope and it took me to the first page!?! backed out and clicked it again and landed near the top of the last page which I have already read. Had to scroll down to the end to see the new posts. This has been going on since the update. At first I thought it might be an option I didn't select or something.
Anything to do with the phone app open on my phone? I only use that when off my pc.

Personally think it's related to this bug:

- Bug - Clicking post links sometimes results in correct post not being scrolled to @Armageus has reproduced, and possibly similar issue: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...he-op-for-known-issues.18951336/post-35582798 - May be if your browser isn't maximised to full screen, Also mentioned here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...he-op-for-known-issues.18951336/post-35594024

As clicking on any new post alerts for me does something similar (takes me to the correct page with posts I haven't read, but then doesn't scroll to the correct post)

I wish we'd have a solution for the embeds in a thread loading causing you to end up on a random point in the page. Nightmare for the image threads.

Although I'm 99% sure it didn't do it pre-upgrade

 

[Armageus]

The buttons in the reply box don't work for me. For example the button to insert an image or video do nothing. Anyone else have the same? I'm sure it was working after the upgrade at first

Make sure you aren't in BBCode mode (the little square bracket symbol)

 

[Armageus]

Am I alone In thinking that the forum should do away with the old smileys and get with the times. I'd rather your the emoticon icons that come with almost every phone. Easier to choose one when typing.

That'll be a no

 

[Armageus]

- Functionality - Bulleted and numbered lists are not available to create in posts

- Functionality - Remove the 'more options' bit for horizontal line, spoiler and code inserts when creating a post, display them inline like the rest of the post options

Glad these ones have been fixed - looks much better

- Other -

Can the Text Colour Picker have "bright" colours added e.g. Red-FF0000, Yellow-FFFF00, Green-00FF00 etc. - The default selection should be good enough.

The default selection isn't good enough, hence asking for the bright colours to be reinstated?

 

[Armageus]

Can look into it if you insist, but I dont think the "bright" colors are particularly easy on the eyes across all the themes where the default options work on all of them.


Red Default
Red Bright

Green Default
Green Bright

Yellow Default
Yellow Bright

The bright colours stand out more specifically when a Moderator posts a warning or comment within a thread - for the use they normally get, then easy on the eye isn't a requirement (although I get your point that the default colours are much better for normal users colouring things)

 

[Armageus]

I'm not seeing that option in Firefox. I don't use the forums on my mobile, so perhaps the two are different?

You don't see the standard reply button in bottom right?

Are you running custom themes?

 

[Armageus]

For those still having any odd issues, I'd suggest making a small video clip to show what you mean - some of the "bugs" being described are very odd and don't sound easy to reproduce.

It also goes without saying, but you should try and reproduce it without any custom themes/css tweaks/adblocking before reporting it as an actual forum issue

 

[Armageus]

Just to comment on this, I've noticed it for a while too and attributed it to images & tweets loading (it was even worse in the watch thread just now).

One thing to add to this that I did find frustrating was that even if you wait for the entire page to reload, if you click on a quote (of say a post further up that same page) the forum still reloads the entire page and you get the same issue again.

I was kinda hoping that, sure, the initial loading of images/tweets might be an annoyance to put up with for a bit but waiting a few seconds for them to load and then clicking on the quote/link might solve it but... nope lol.

This is by far the biggest thing making me hate this entire update.

I can't believe that there isn't a fix for this (or indeed that it doesn't affect Google's scoring/ranking based on Cumulative Layout Shift)

@kindai

 

[Armageus]

Rolled out a fix that should drastically reduce his from happening, it might not be perfect but should be a lot better.

Seems better so far

 

[Armageus]

Admins dont want it enabled just yet ever

Ftfy

 

[Armageus]

BTW @Maccy who does your templates? I run a car forum, I've upgraded XF and some templates are outdated. The last time I merged them it screwed up the forum so I rolled back and I've left it since.

@kindai is the chap you want, I believe
