I had to upgrade the forum yesterday as there were some severe issues occurring, but the knock on effect of this is that things I've customised tend to get thrown out.

So far:

  • Default smileys are back
  • quote function on mobile broken
  • quote function default apart flame narrow
  • thread naming SEO

If you spot any more let me know so I can fix em up.

Cheers

Heyyy, back to your old avatar! Nice 🙂

What theme are you on, lagos?

Quote function is broken for me too on desktop. I normally don't use the mobile version but I switched and had a look, and it's the same story there. I use the "Default (Apart Flame)" theme.

Mobile quote and smileys fixed.

Quote function for desktop theme Apart Flame & Narrow variant is working now.

Likely wasn't working for the other theme so I've fixed that too.

I'm starting to bring ads back (I don't remember why they went off originally, I think an upgrade broke them), but you shouldn't see them when you're logged in. Let me know if you do.

Pep, the smart function for quotes, where you can just + a post and then add it/them to the quick reply bar, isn't available for me on the mobile theme. Could that be added?
It isn't a massive thing, but it is convenient sometimes to quote more than one post at a time.

There's a smart function for quotes?

Well, on the desktop version there are two buttons - 'reply' and the '+ in bubble' thingie. The +-thingie lets you mark several posts, which you can then reply to at the same time in the 'quick reply' box at the bottom of the page.
On the mobile version there is just the 'quote' alternative, which works well, but then you can only reply to one post at a time. It isn't a major thing at all, but the other function is just so much better IMO.

I've always wondered what that button was for. Interesting.

Fuck. What have I done?!

Oh great, now Klaus is going to attempt to pedantically refute every post on the forum in one giant super-rant. Nice one Rex. 😐

Hadn't even noticed it till now.
Jeez, i'm slow!

Just seen

{myadvertisements[zone_5]}

at the end of a thread. Its not interfering or causing trouble but its there. Thought you'd like to know.

Just copped you only see it after you make a post.

The myadvertisements thing? Yeah, that's a weird one. Need to investigate more.

Hey, Peps, while we're at it - do you want us to chip in with a wee bit of money for using the forum or something? I'm more than happy to do it. I like this place a lot, and it doesn't seem fair to me that you should handle the whole cost. I'm not sure how much those ads bring in but it would be fairly easy to do some form of donating thing through Paypal, right? Just a thought. I'm sure others feel the same way.

Good thought Klaus. I'd be more than happy to put in a few quid too. Seriously like 5% of my annual random coffee budget would probably fund this place a few months at least.
