That's not a gliucth. That's an option in settings to either display latest posts by the latest updated topic or by the lastes actual post. I'm literally just checking it out. I don;t like it although I like how it displays the last updated reply rather then the date of the OP. I'm putting it back now - I have notes for Anthony on monday now.
Cool.
I don't like it either 😀
Things you can do that you couldn't before:
Your edit window is 15minutes.
You now have a 5 minute delete window
Your have a preview button so you can check your post before you publish.
Pretty much all external links will render into some form of embed - Youtube etc.
...
The scrolling is taking you to the last read post.
it isn’t, it’s just taking me to the last post of the thread whether I’ve read the previous ones or not.
List of embeds that are active on the site and should show up nicely when you drop a link in from them.

Same for me.
Main link goes to post 1. Arrow goes to last post. Can't see a way to get to first unread post in a thread
We continue to watch the cache/update issue closely and are aware that a few of you are still seeing this glitch. You won;t be forgotten and we'll keep on it. However, we've got the forum to a functional point where we can start looking at the other things like layouts, navigation, fine tune speed etc. AND there's new functions we can start to bring online. The embeds above are an extra addon we pay for - there are other enhancements we can look at too.
I've adjusted a couple of things myself, specifically with forum index page and how they display. Just some things like font size and spacing of various things. They are minor tweaks as that's all I'm qualified to do 🙂 Anthony and Andy are the actual coders around here.
I'm happy with how it's gone this week. There's more to do.
Oh and imports are at a total of 3.2 million now of historic posts. 6.8 still to go.
That's not a glitch. That's an option in settings
I'm probably being dense, but where do I find Settings?
There's an option at the bottom of the page to find posts by Tags, but I don't see any way to add Tags to posts. Is it doable?
Sorry...
My settings - not yours. ie. admin settings.
Tags is something I'm considering now. I have the settings. But the last time we let you lot add your own tags it didn't necessarily go well 🙂
Maybe we should try again?
In fact the Tags links opens up a much more comprehensive Search panel. @Mark, it might be worth linking this in somewhere a bit more visible.
It looks like Topic Tags are something Mark will need to activate in his settings.

I've added a link in the forum menu to the advanced search.
Strange thing happening on my Samsung tablet. Some replies are light blue text, some are in white text and I'm getting 3 banners for the singletrack mag on the same screen.
But the last time we let you lot add your own tags
"you lot"? Rude! 😆 #weknowourplace
Testing stretchyness.
Yep still distorting Flickr pics.

The Flickr issue is a Flickr issue. In other words there's nothing that can be done at our end.
If you notice from the Flickr URL that it doesn't actually point to a image file. It's pointing to a script on the Flickr platform rather than an actual image. It's that script that decides how the image is displayed. If you could get the link to the actual image file that would end in something like .jpg then you'd see it displays fine.
I went to your Flickr page and using Chrome inspect located the actual image file. Which was live.staticflickr.com/65535/54343582474_d0616e96ee_c.jpg
Flickr is not very good at letting you find the actual image link so you have to dig for it.
The official Flickr link does display fine on mobile BTW
Ooo it's exciting now things are starting to come together. A while back I noticed that down in the icon key there's an icon labelled Solved.
I'm assuming (hoping) that this might let the Topic Starter mark a topic as a question and, at some point in the future, mark it as solved.
As I tend to use the forum mostly for asking mechanical/bike tech. questions (I'm a bit of a muppet); I'd find this really useful. I've seen it used quite a bit on tech. forums and it's really handy, when searching for info. to see a thread asking a similar question that's marked as Solved (as opposed to those that go off at a tangent or dissolve into arguments).
Probably not a priority but perhaps something to pop on your ToDo List.
Yes, there's a function to set up a forum as a Q&A forum. AFAIK the OP would pose a question. Others would post answers and the OP gets to decide if it's been answered or 'solved'.

Does that include not thinking that every Amazon link is a Kindle book? Testing:
They seem to work using an HTML <a tag (I had to look them up but fortunately Edge will do it automatically for me). Not embedded though.
DMR Flat4 Pedals (Grey) : Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors
... nope.
@mark If that's a service you're paying for, you need to kick this back to them. This particular embed has been broken for years.
I know the forum needs advert but I've just scrolled past 18 of them to get to the first thread.
Does it need that many?
No that's just me tweaking them wrong 🙂
They'll be gone shortly
BTW I edited the link in your post @cougar by running it through our affiliate system. Not a solution but just wanted to check
I appreciate you looking into this @Mark.

So why did it work fine for years on here and also works fine on other forums?
Also why does it work fine on my mobile and not my PC?
I have no real understanding of how this stuff works, just a bit frustrating that it's suddenly stopped working.

Balls to it I give up.
OK for anyone wanting to link a flickr picture this seems to be a relatively simple way.
-
Open the photo:Navigate to the specific Flickr photo you want to access.
-
Click the "Download" icon:Look for the download arrow icon usually located near the bottom of the image.
-
Select "View all sizes":This option allows you to choose the desired image size, including the original.
-
Copy the image URL (optional):Right-click on the image and select "Copy image URL" to get the link to the image file.
Interesting table of embed links. I had no idea Myspace was still a thing, but I'm definitely going to have a look at Snotr. I wonder if it is a constant drip, drip, drip of news 🤣
Pixel 8a here in Google. Chat forum keeps reverting to about 19:10 hrs yesterday. I have deleted my cookies for the last 7 days but no new replies or threads show but, if I click latest, I can see them.
There's an image bug for images embedded into a post (rather than links). Click on an image, sometimes you get a bigger version of that image or sometimes first image in the thread. Noticed it on the weekend pics post.
Just a note, but as of this morning my posts are still showing up very quickly but my edits are not (however if I click on the Edit icon the correct post text with previous edits shows in the Edit box).
Is the old forum STILL migrating and contributing towards everything taking an age to show up, or is it some other wonderful glitch now?
The traffic on EMTB forums is huge and that seems to have zero issues and was set up by a guy just into riding and reviewing bikes. Why does STW struggle finding a suitable platform, time after time?

How many people rely on it as their primary source of income?
This discussed a few pages back, and seems like it would be a two min job to fix;
Every page I open, I see this and my brain goes "four new replies, WTF does that mean, how can every thread I click in have had four replies since I last opened it?". I think in previous discussion, and I can't believe I'm writing this, it was said that the "4" here had been used in substitute for the word "for". Please fix this, it's way more confusing than the word "subscribe", and if you really don't like subscribe then you could use "follow thread".

Or replace '4' with 'for'? Agree though, it messes with my addled brain too!
'4 new replies'
I just presumed it was some incredibly niche subscription that emailed you last four replies to a topic.
it's 'for new replies'?

The old forum has now been migrated to the new. All old threads should now be there. We need to do some checks and fix a few things but then we’ll delete the old forum and the associated data mountain.
Andy has been working on this over the weekend out of hours to try and get us closer to fully operational.

My only claim to fame
Is there any plan to reintroduce a post/page count on the overview page without having to first open a thread?
