it’s not meant to be every single post by the people you follow, but rather a way to ensure you don’t miss stuff they post that’s new.
Ahh, gotcha thank you for explaining 😀

I think what it’s meant to do is show new threads posted by those people recently so if they haven’t created new threads of late or posted new watches for sale it won’t appear, it’s not meant to be every single post by the people you follow, but rather a way to ensure you don’t miss stuff they post that’s new. So for example if you follow @Aroxx he will appear because the thread is from today.
That has been changed I guess because on the first day I tested this by following you and @Trev and got every post update from both of you from numerous threads?

I’m sure Trev will check it out, I might be mistaken

There used to be a small "up arrow" bottom right of the page.
Handy when you wanted to jump to the top when you got to the bottom of thread with lots of entries, e.g.:WRUW.

Can't see it now.

It's on and off visible (but barely visible due to the background colour being similar) when I scroll the pages.

Ah yes!

Got it now. Don't know if it could be a bit more visible but I can live with it.

That number in the top left of the screen is the version number of the new website, so it’s now the 185th released version since development began with many changes on each release. Some changes don’t even get included until a later release so its a lot more than that really but this is the number that have actually been packaged up and tested as a release.


Edit: Just realised only we can see it, but its there 😀

Awesome thank you for adding that refresh feature. Great addition 👏

I usually leave the tab open on latest activity. Refresh the tab when I come back to it.

I notice the activity updates are spotty. Sometimes with 10 or 20 minutes to back to the most recent post.
A lot of times I am not seeing what I just posted. This used to update as soon as I landed back on the first item in the tab and did a command-R.

When I look at the post button, there are more recent postings than the latest activity shows. It is like they are out of sync.

The site is slowly coming into alignment, awesome work 😀
I did notice that composing a private message on iOS Safari causes the window to scroll down every time I type. Makes it nearly impossible to respond on mobile. 🙁

There used to be a hidden function (accessed via the three dots in the menu bar above) where you could save a draft or delete a post you maybe accidentally started to reply to. Is that still around somewhere? Many thanks ❤️

Hi!!

First of all, fabulous work, congratulations 👍🏼

Not sure it this has been pointed out, but there is a small bug when typing text. Note that I am using the phone (iPhone), usure if this happens on the web version on a computer.

When the box starts to expand, for longer messages, the scroll function seems to bug (go back to earlier posts) making edits a bit difficult!

Thought I’d report to get it into the backlog!

Have a nice week-end.

Thanks, @Trev , for this huge hard work, and making the whole wonderful forum a reality.
FWIW, it's all good for me, except when I go to my "Followed Members" tab, I get the grumpy cat pic and the caption, "You don't have any followed members", which isn't so.
I've been using Android on Samsung'phone, if that helps.
Thanks again, and have a great day!

Ash did explain this one to me a bit earlier in this thread:

Not quite the same, but as soon as you start typing a reply or starting a new thread, it's saving the draft to the server as you go. It should be always saving your drafts.

Our most recent round of updates and fixes was server-side, but I did enable direct audio/video uploads in posts too. You can see an example mp3 file attached in this post:

We still need to do some more refinements to editor and editor toolbar behavior.

First off I dig the new interface! Thanks for everyone's hardwork.

On bug I noticed was when opening a new tab of OF from a google search on iPhone (I'm in research mode with more than a few tabs open) that then new OF tab doesn't recognize that I'm already signed in. I know this to be the case as a bunch of ads pop up. Quick fix is to resign in but then give the "you're already signed in" so I figured it might be a bug. Might be something someone else already pointed out but figured I'd share

I briefly had that but I think it was something cache related as after I cleared website data for OF it was fine afterwards, might be good to try that first
