New Software - Report Error Thread

[adit]

I think we may be seeing two parts of the same issue? For me (using Edge and a PC), the links are good right away, nothing changes in the header or body of the page as I swoop around, it's just I can barely capture the narrow band that activates the link. It's a very small vertical "window" on either side of the LAST link in the chain, e.g. "Admin News and Announcements" for this page. The other links in that chain, "Home", "Forums", "General" perform normally as do (apparently) all other links on the page. For this last link, the only area that "activates" is just a teeny slice either above or below the "Admin News and Announcements", but not in the text field itself, and not to left or right. It does this on every page I've tried so far - the last link isn't active within the text field.

It's like the text background is not active, but the field border is active.
The "Post Reply" and "attach files" buttons here are doing the same thing... the text isn't active but the area above and below the text, within the button, is active. Other stuff on the page seems normal. Weird.

I just checked Firefox and it doesn't do this, so maybe it's the Edge default browser settings or the underlying HTML code (which looks different between the two browsers). Beyond my capability to debug.

It's really just a first-world problem but with the mouse setting at super-fast, it can be challenging. I'd never noticed the same links at the bottom of the page before. They work normally for me, so that's the work-around.

Chrome (same base as current Edge) does it as well.

If you are in a thread and move a link (from a members post) into that same area, it does the same thing. That is why I mentioned the header bar overlay. Get any link within the specified distance and the link splits as described.

OK I see what you mean now, "move a link" = scroll the page up so the link is in the same area. Indeed it does the same thing. I was trying to drag links around

Can you please turn off this "error" message that appears 1 or 2x per day? I like my current password and plan to keep it.

"Your current password isn't unique and may have been compromised. We recommend that you change your password. "
Thanks.

You are using a password that is in known password hack dictionaries. It is not secure. (and is actually putting the rest of us at risk. If hackers compromise your login, they can insert spam/virus links into your old posts or signature.)

Broken again.

Would it be possible to add the "NEW" item notification icon to individual threads, just as it is now on Forums?

This would help those with less than stellar vision....

Thanks!!!

Site is regularly logging me out while "stay logged in" is checked. Brave browser, Android. Doesn't happen on other sites or forums. Not sure what's up with that?

This seems to have been fixed recently. Thanks for that.

Although it is annoying, the right way to fix this is for the board SW to force an immediate password change and prevent any access until it is done.

I just realized there are forum descriptions under the title. They are very hard to see however.

Not sure if this is the place to post it but I just tried to become a supporter under account upgrades and it sent me to a 403 Forbidden error page.

Seems to be working now

What happened to Search?

It was working quite nicely with Threadloom, but now it takes several pages to find the results that would have come up on the first.

It went **** up a few days ago.

 

[308Scout]

Is anyone else having issues with the search feature no longer working as well as it did? After the forum switchover, it was greatly improved over the previous software. It was working well until a couple of weeks ago, then bam, back to limited utility - i.e. most searches produce "no results".

ETA - just noticed the posts above with the same issue.

 

[Mr H]

The best solution so far seems to be to limit the search to the particular thread or forum, and if you know part of the thread title and/or OP, it weeds them out a bit better.
