Meathead Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 the topic buttons are not filtering posts properly anymore when i click them i get random threads from all topics. at least i think they are random, it doesnt seem like all threads are in there, but i havent done a thread by thread analysis. point is, they arent working as intended like they used to bottom line is i cant filter out, say, the politics from the bills anymore Quote One set of rules for all in The Beloved Community "The word racism is like ketchup.

HipKat Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Another thing is if I highlight some text and click on bold, it doesn’t go bold I have to post and then edit to get it to work.

LiterateStylish Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Bold seems to be working. And the filter seems to be working too. Both of you, try deleting your cache and restarting your browser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with italics (Lit, I bolded the 3 issues I wanted to discuss in case you just want a fairly quick read.....I put them together vs bumping other threads for your convenience. I know each of these issues effect more than just me, possibly everyone for all of them?) This has LONG been an issue for me, and I am on a desktop. Bold or italics....the size works every time, but the other 2 sometimes take MANY tries to do for me. (this one bolded first try, very rare for me) And while it may not effect everyone, when it does to 2 of the few people who actually post in this section(which is a high percentage of those who do), it would seem to be a decent enough issue to address, especially when Hip and I put a lot of mileage and effort into our posts here. I appreciate you for looking into it, Lit. -Also, I dont want to bother you by bumping another thread, but the 3 dot thing for editing Shouts has never showed up for me, despite trying on multiple browsers and even operating systems. -a 3rd issue, and one that is very important to me(which actually made me come here, to bump a previous thread where I never got a reply other than maybe Meat saying his "baby mod powers" were useless and he couldnt help, is having the ability to edit posts after 1 hour. (that bolded on only the 2nd try, which actually is pleasing to me...sometimes it takes double digit attempts multiple times in a row) I doubt that you set that purposefully(or you could say if you did), and am guessing it was the default of the new board. While indefinite editing would be fine with me, I could understand if you wanted to make a reasonable limit to for example prevent folks from changing predictions they made. I came here for that issue because I had an OP made when I was a bit worked up after finding out the Boy Scouts were declaring bankruptcy, and apparently the topic I related it to offended some vocal folks, and I thought it might be a decent gesture of me to erase it.

HipKat Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 YES! To the 1st point. I just end up using html to do bold or italics in most cases. Same with editing Shouts Quote “There he goes.

StraightJ Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Yeah, I just went to number the points to make it an easier read for Lit, but realized I couldn't because of point 3. ugh 1 Quote Andy did you hear about this one?-REM .

I agree that I did not forward it as well as could be done. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and see if you're willing to help if I make it very short. At least #'s 2 and 3 seem to effect the majority of members. Unsure on issue 1, though it effects multiple users. 1)Making things bold or italics after highlighting often takes multiple attempts, sometimes in the double digits. If it helps any, resizing the font after hightlighting always seems to work. Also if it helps, I had this problem for maybe the last year or more of the old board....but back in the day it used to work on the first try. 2)The 3 dots on the right for editing shouts still has never showed up for me, despite trying multiple browsers an OSes. Those who have gotten it to work have not been able to isolate the change that enabled it. 3)Posts are not able to be edited after 1 hour. Quote Andy did you hear about this one?-REM .

I suppose it will be a matter of getting used to it, after being conditioned to doing it differently for so long. 1 Quote Andy did you hear about this one?-REM .
