New Forums: Questions, Suggestions, Comments

Just found a nice new feature.
In the old forum you had to add each photo one at a time.
I was just able to add four photos by selecting all four at once and adding them as a group. Nice!

Chalk up one for the new forum!

There will be this week, and Meriachee got his hands on the test app, early.

Amazing what an errant beer glass can get you.

Heck, some of them are even by Brian.

Yep, found them. I unstuck all of mine because it was related to the old forum. Thanks Meriachee!

Next thing some sunshine depraved lunatic will be looking to stream 4K uploads.

Huh. Tonight the iPad logged in here by itself, two spaces no longer adds a period, and my iPhone refuses to connect to the wifi on the WeeBill Lab gimbal.
It's looking like a technological conspiracy.

Everything is a technology conspiracy, and you know it.

You are sir, as usual, accurate, articulate, and have good grammar. I would one day like to see if this iPad floats. I suspect not. It's maybe not a bad thing.

What, did you throw it at him?

This may not matter, with the app coming, but when I use my Android phone to check new posts, the list of new posts comes up, but none of those thread titles have the "mark as read" button. This is on a Motorola G4 phone running Android 7.0

 

[Phil Herring]

@SFS , I don't have easy access to an Android. If could make a screen capture and post or PM it to me I would appreciate it.

Phil,

Here is a screenshot of the thread list on Android that SFS is proba ly talking about. On the desktop there is a "mark as read" link for each thread, but it doesn't show on the smaller phone screen. I don't know if there's room to make it fit, but I do miss it a little.

Same thing happens to me with Safari.

 

[Phil Herring]

This change is going to be a stubborn one. I will take another crack at it later today.

 

[Brian D]

I checked on my Android with Firefox as the browser. There is no "mark as read" in the What's New. In the Recent Activities there is no "mark as read" after each post, but there is a "mark as read" just above the
first visible posting.

 

[kappykaplan]

I've seen the Mark forums read in Safari, but that marks everything as read. Tks.

 

[Ward H]

Phil,
On my iPad that button only shows when I turn it to landscape mode. Doesn't show up in any position on my iPhone.
Interesting that in Recent Activity on my iPhone the Mark Forums Read button shows up when in portrait mode but not landscape mode.
I'm happy waiting for the app.

 

[Phil Herring]

That's a great clue @Ward H! It helps me know where to look for the problem or at least a workaround.

 

[JRacer]

How come it keeps asking me if I want to authorize push notifications. I've had that come up several times and each time I approve it. Seems like once ought to be enough. Is that a Windows issue or an SBO site issue?

 

[Brian D]

@JRacer I have also seen that but only on my phone using Firefox browser. I have never seen it on Firefox desktop Win8.1. It could be the phone is not storing the proper cookie. You might want to clear you phone's browser cookies.
