*** Forum Update - Official Issues Thread - Please check the OP for known issues ***

Yea having only unread watched threads in the watched thread page would be good and mirror how it was previously.

If you watch an entire forum those all appear I think in your watched threads.

The new posts works OK for me now with the filter as I don't watch an entire forum.


The filters are working ok for me too. If possible, however, I think the previous set up worked better, so Watched Threads will just show updated threads, rather than all of them. There was a 'show all threads' button to display them all if required.

Is this possible?
 
Not sure what you mean, you can't edit your posts?
The wysiwyg editor per se. was failing both for creating and editing posts
in the firefox version I was using
- bold/italic buttons did not convert mouse selected text just moved insertion point to end of message
- creating a link for selected text did nothing (hence earlier posts about toggling BBcode as a partial workaround)

I'm typing this is a newer version of chrome, but need to find a better version of FF ..
observing correct functionality from the raw/trial froala editor somewhat rules out OC as causal

Ah yeh we're aware of issues in Firefox I think
 
Not sure if mentioned, however I went to post a thread in the Members Market Wanted sub forum today and couldn’t figure out how to create a thread. Few minutes of looking and I figured out that the restriction of only being allowed 2 threads at a time is now enforced with forum policy rather than moderators. Turns out I had a bunch of threads going back as far as 2017 etc that were never locked. This was the same for the For Sale sub forum.

Technically bad management of threads by me, however this is likely to catch others out too. Possible to lock all threads older than 3 months in the MM?
 
For anyone experiencing the Firefox avatar flickering issue, you can try the following:

Code:
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.
[/LIST]
 
Can the main forum topics be changed to be similar to the old set up on mobile?

There is no access to football or motorsport sub topics without entering in to the parent topic first and the last post information takes up too much space.

It would require an add-on I think, possibly one to add to the pile later down the line. However, it does say in the rules about having 2 threads open so the onus should be on you guys!

Thanks. Not very intuitive though as the rest of the buttons don't have long hold menus. Also don't you just click on it once on desktop to reveal the options rather than hovering a mouse over it?

That's just how Xenforo is - I've seen this on other Xenforo forums so it's not limited to here.

Just tried this. It does seem to help a lot, but there is still a very slight flicker. And I guess as this is a global setting it will have knock-on effects on other sites too.

The forum generates a placeholder based on your name, given everyone has avatars here could the placeholder text just be taken all out hidden to solve the issue I wonder?
 
Might be a little random and may get better with time but the forum 'UI' (ie page numbers, post 'container' text etc) just feels a little big on pc, at least to me.

Is there any way to reduce this because zooming out shrinks all the post text as well and that then makes that hard to read. Now it looks like I could do a custom CSS but honestly that seems far too much hassle.

I'm guessing we're allowed to use 'negative' likes on here, some places don't like them, because we have sad and angry smilies in the like drop down.

Same here, it helps but only partially... and this is about to affect Safari too? Jeez.
 
the alerts/bell - the bell changes back to normal as soon as you go to the page the like/quote etc is on, so you could miss whatever it is if you don't skim the whole page
could it be made so you need to click on the bell and read the alert before it's 'read'?
 
It seems the lightning bolt is actually for new posts rather than reactions. It would look cleaner and less verbose if all of the wordy links on the secondary menu bar were actually icons on the primary menu bar.

Maybe having an announcement about the Old threads in the MM stopping users creating new threads would be advantageous. It really isn’t intuitive having to search through your MM history to find and close them.
