About to crack the 20% mark. Thatâs the percentage of dormant accounts I was so far able to âreviveâ with some persistent emailing efforts. Now we gotta incentivise folks to participate
So what are everyoneâs thoughts about the new Categories view? It was rolled out with the last update of the software.
I quite like it. Itâs nice to have a breakdown of the categories. I also like the last visit marker on the main forum page when you log in so you can pick up where you left off.
Ah, thatâs what that was! I didnât actually notice it but I mustâve pressed it by accident the other day because, all of a sudden, the page looked different. Better looking , actually, but I didnât know how Iâd done it so I closed everything on my tablet, waved it about a bit as though that might help matters, and then reopened the SWDB.
If Iâm being totally honest it feels a little redundant in that it appears to just stir the elements of whatâs already on the page anyway. It is a more attractive page though; certainly on my 10.5" tablet.
I donât understand why I am presented with a list of the latest posts taking up half of the screen when I choose Categories. Before as far as I remember and I may be wrong the categories took up all the space which kind of made sense. If I want the latest posts I just access the forum normally so why waste space on them here?
I dunno, I guess they thought of a âbest of both worldsâ kind of view that uses available screen space efficiently
Yeah probably. Ah, the road to hell is paved
I use the categories overview when I want to see what is happening in a specific category not for some presentation similar to the one I navigated away from. Probably just my use of the forum that is flawed
Well previously everyone complained about how the standard view is no longer a view of all categories. So I see this development as a neat compromise for some
Not working link is nothing new, but how is that searching the Forum I donât find the topic?
https://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Carogne_si_nasce
Itâs all right, I finally found it under the title Lynching.
You will only able to find things that are in the forum. So for example if no topic related to that movie ever mentions the word string âcarogneâ, then looking for that world will not yield anything. But that is just how it is, nothing to do with the forum itself I think in the medium term of course, the first post in a movie thread could contain a few basic infos on the film, just to facilitate searching/finding.
Iâve added the original title to the forum topic. Only having a random English title listed makes no sense.
Glad to see Iâm not the only one!
Trying to fix something, will be fixed, promise They havenât behaved right on mobile screens so I need to switch out some code so it looks fine no matter what device you use
Fixed.
The âquote replyâ thing isnât working. Well, itâs not so much the âquote replyâ button, itâs the ability to highlight a body of text that seems to be playing up (Iâm on a tablet, Iâm not sure yet if itâs working okay on a laptop/pc).
Is this the problem you are having: Android copy/paste menu covers quote reply button - bug - Discourse Meta
No sir. When I press and hold on a word (which usually highlights the word and brings up the Android copy/paste menu above the word and the SWDB âquote replyâ button beneath the word), the word wonât stay highlighted. So the Android copy/paste menu and the SWDB âquote replyâ button both appear, but only for a tiny fraction of a second before they vanish again, making quoting impossible. This is only happening on the SWDB. I still havenât checked if this is an issue on my laptop where Iâd be highlighting with a laptop mouse pad rather than on a touchscreen. Iâll check it in a minute and get back to you.
EDIT: Hm. Itâs working fine on my laptop. Itâs just on my android tablet where itâs not working. Itâs only SWDB affected and itâs not working on any browser.
FURTHER EDIT: Itâs not working on my wifeâs android phone, either. So itâs either an issue with Android devices or touchscreens.
I will report it, letâs see what they have to say
