Had two emails at 22:18 about replies to my thread. Upon visiting the thread, the posts aren't shown. If I click on the down arrow on the right at the top of the thread, the list of replies includes said replies and I can click on them to pop up the full text. Just not showing up at the bottom of the main thread view.

Ooh the gif thing works. 

I've been using the forum on a laptop and I must say it's a vastly better experience than on my mobile. The formatting on my mobile is the biggest issue and the screen on my phone is one of the biggest ones. If the phone experience could be made better it would improve things massively for people I suspect.

What phone/OS/browser are you using? I don't find it any different between laptop and phone.

Same here - basically everything ticks along well enough, and in a similar fashion on laptop (Win11 with Firefox or Chrome), phone (Android with Chrome) and tablet (Android with Chrome or Brave).

I see a few functionality glitches, and a couple of seconds lag, but other than that it's all fine for me.

 

EDIT: About 2s lag to load a page, about 8s lag to post a reply.

but on the mane page is a double arrow

The developers took great pride in that. 

Just re-read my lengthy post containing that typo, and apparently a shed-load of others... Sorry, that is what comes from typing lengthy replies on your phone and there being no spell checker in this reply box!  

Well I'm blaming the tech, not my fat fingers or capacity to read my own posts....

  1.  IMG_3555.png What phone/OS/browser are you using?

iPhone/Safari

its the formatting that does my head in. 

IMG_3554.png

 

And below is what my screen looks like after adding the above screenshot, virtually unusable for any further editing and the media box can’t be clicked out of it would seem..

EDIT - Wow! That is all completely messed up and not how I intended it to look. But it was impossible to tell without hitting add reply first.

The formatting is terrible in all the browsers I use. So bad that it's almost impossible to post. Please fix.

Can you share screenshots to show what issues you're seeing?

No, it won't let me.

It's the fact that the "You are not allowed to attach files on this forum.." message overlies the reply box, making it hard to use on a computer, and almost impossible on a phone in portrait.

Free members can’t host to the site, you will need to use a third party host.

Can you upload them to imgur (or any other photo sharing site) and then post links to them?

just went looking for an old post, so went to the 'profile' icon top right.  oh, its not there any more..... ahhhhh there it is over on the left.  no problem, must have changed the layout.

however, when i click it the dropdown goes too far to the left to read.  not really a problem, i guessed it in the end, but thought its worth mentioning.

Probably missing something obvious but is there a way of managing thread/forum subscriptions from a control panel?

Looks like the posing delay is back sadly. 🙁 At least 2 replies on the motor cross fork oil that only show in the 3 dots thread overview.

Very slow posting here too. It's always been a bit slow for but recently it's way up

Weird how it affects people differently. I've had my share of long posting delays and other issues before. At the moment though for me, everything is pretty snappy. I've posted on a couple of threads this morning and they've appeared within a second or two. It's been like that bar the odd very brief delay for a few weeks. I'll time this one from hitting "add reply" and report back.

Edit: 7 seconds. Longer than some recently, but pretty acceptable tbh.

Yeah, me too, but I did have a couple of my posts on the Bikepacking Equipment thread go into limbo last night so that's still happening occasionally. I doubt that's a format/theme issue and likely needs to be fixed before any more cosmetic changes.

Posting has been spot on for me for a while now, but edits to post can take a long time to show (although they usually seem to appear once there's a reply).

Here’s a weird one… if I view the thread that’s attached to Benji’s “10 things” XTR story, nearly all the posts are showing as being posted by him (even when it’s clearly someone asking him a question). Odd.

 

[Mod] it's been reported.

A question …

Someone posts… you like that post… they then edit it to include something you wouldn’t want to be associated with… how do you “unlike” it and get your name removed?

Ta.

Doesn't appear to do anything, maybe reactions are irrevocable?

I'm wrong, a second click does remove the like.  Only trouble is the forum responds so slowly that you end up wondering did you press that once or twice?

There’s a thumbs up icon. It could be free members don’t get that option but I’m not sure.

This is me on my free account - there's no thumbs-up visible on this so it must just be for paid members - which seems very odd!

I think there would be more reactions too if it was anonymous like it was before.

I wonder if that's just default behaviour?  It would seem odd to me also for it to be a conscious decision to exclude the Like button for free members.  Doubly so if you can't even see the output.

24 seconds for the forum to load from the front page, internet speed test for my computer says download 135.9 mbps. No issues on any other website. Forum seems exceptionally slow.

I suspect this will have been mentioned already, but I'm not about to wade through pages of stuff to find out, but there's something quite badly wrong when you click on an embedded image in a post to give a larger version. You'll get a random assortment of images from the same thread and sometimes not the one you've clicked on at all, so...

As below, all sorts of random, though at least in this case, my images are actually included in the randomness.

Yesterday whilst using my iPhone it was incredibly slow so switched to my laptop. Using edge I couldn’t get the forum to even load properly. After several seconds it would come up but only the multitude of adverts and banners, not the list and links of all the forum topics - there was just a white gap where they should be. This was on chat and bike forums. I gave up after a few minutes. No issue with other sites

In line with tradition, the Search function seems to be broken. I did a multi-word search & eventually was presented with a sizeable list of results. The forum, for some reason, lists them in 'Relevance' order with no concern for date. I'm not sure how it decides on relevance, but I don't find it particularly useful.

Clicking on Advanced  Options allowed me to select 'Order by Date' but, leaving the search box populated as before, running the search again now yields no results.

It  is certainly slow. Not 24s slow for me.  Takes around 10 seconds to open the homepage. In comparison Crazyguyonabike and Uk Cycling open in 1 or 2 seconds.

 

This is on an aging Windows 10 laptop. Firefox.

Just tested on my desktop, loading the front page is sub- 3 seconds.

If the forum was a cyclist, it would be almost as slow as me.

I just posted on a thread - moral dilemma tax thing, and the bottom of page 1 went weird - no formatting and screen filling icons.

 

iPhone 15 if it helps

This afternoon's update appears to have removed the ability to post replies by PC. Trying to post refreshes the page, losing all text entries into the reply box

...it's not letting me post. When I try to add reply it tells me I am leaving the page and will lose my changes.

I was going to say, this latest update is a bit strange...weird black and white scheme, post counts next to user names? 

OK, i can post now....but not a fan of fhis new look. Will check back in a few days

Apologies for the downtime, that was unexpected, we have been testing on both of our develop sites, and these issues were not showing on their, I believe I have fixed the issue regarding post replies on PC, we hope you like the new theme of Singletrack, any issues please do post in this thread, or message me.

Kind Regards
