You’ve missed the context of my responses aracer.
Exactly AA.
<span style="color: #444444; background-color: #eeeeee;">Zokes its still working christ you’re a one man army of posts yourself. Its hardly the the end of the world that a few features are missing for a bit</span>
I think it's less that they are missing, but more a lot is broken as well (see quote above). Plus a lot of the new features are well...are they even new? Still have to copy and paste quotes, mobile forum is still broken etc.
I am at the point where, like aracer I think, I just feel bemusement. I am sure it'll all be serviceable in the end, but the lack of comms and certain people's attitudes does seem to make an unfortunate process unnecessarily more fractious.
I work for a scientific research organisation
I thought you said you were public sector? Anyhow, you're just being silly and I'm biting. Back to memes.
Yup indeed some people’s attitudes certainly do Jamie.

I think you’ve missed his

They sure do, Drac.
You’ve missed the context of my responses aracer.
What context is that?
It might only be a coffee forum, but the wages of the devs are paid by the income it somehow manages to make for the business and their jobs directly depend upon its success. So it's not really [b]just[/b] a coffee forum.
“I thought you said you were public sector? ”
Yes, might it have crossed your mind that most scientific research is publicly funded and administered?
<insert patronising meme here>
The vocal minority always shout loudest. IME 😉
You’re certainly doing a good job, slackalice
Is it all sorted out? Cos it seems to work ok to me,

Dunno. Is it?

I'm relieved they have preserved some of the 'old forum' 🙂
Haha! Now that I like Jamie.
have I missed a relocated "feature" as I cant seem to find a list of thread titles that i have posted in to see if my informative contributions have received the adulation they deserve or witty ripostes have rendered mute some loathsome lout?
I've heard aracer's second login is Chewkw.
Yeah, back on the old if you have to explain what these new tabs are you called them the wrong thing. Still no idea what the replies created is all about.
Next up tried to paste an extract from a GPX file in a quote and it just skips out and drops the post with no error or explanation

The business isn't down - there are some glitches. ^ like that ^ . They are nothing worse than a bit quaint.

As pointed out, it's broken. "Replies created" is fairly logically a list of the posts you've made, but unfortunately without a link to the relevant thread.
The question is how long it's going to stay broken for, because I've deciphered a bit of the inner workings, and could fix this issue client side (by adding links and probably thread titles to the "Replies Created" tab) - just wondering if it's worth the bother.
But it's the weekend and this is dangerously close to being work...
@bearnecessities - shhhhh!
Provided you don’t do it over the weekend I’m sure it would be fine 😉
😆
I can probably live without the emoticons, but the quote gizmo is really useful.
How's the comment 'recommend' button coming along?
IGMC . . .

as I thought. an "improved" feature, not an abandoned one then 😉
[b]Preview still not working.[/b] 🙁

Emoticons are very important to me. 🙂bodgy

p/s: hopefully some of the old functions will be back again like quote, bold, preview etc.
Just plating sorry!! What’s the exploding o thing next to the link button???

Note to ZOKES.
The IT guys have the weekend off because..
a) I'm not a **** boss
b) It's an internet forum about bicycles.
I've always thought there are some right funny ****ers on here, and this thread proves it.
Stressing about a little forum on their weekend! 😆
Sounds like a shit employer MrOvershoot forcing staff to come in.
Not so much employer just a shit industry 🙁
Though to be fair if I didn't have all the staff there was a real possibility that the site would have been closed due to non supply to customers, Its a horrible position to be in and something I have been actively looking at getting out of as its causing sleep/health issues

c) They will become ineffective after too long working.
Let's keep a sense of perspective here folks. It's not as though quoting and posting pictures was exactly straightforward on the old forum. As Mark keeps saying, this is just an interim fix and it largely works. In fact, if I didn't keep checking in on this thread I wouldn't really know there was a problem. Personally I hope the IT bods are enjoying their weekend and if they got a ride in I hope it was less muddy than mine. I dare say we'll muddle though until the shiny new forum arrives.
That is a shit scenario MrOvershoot hope you get sorted.
What’s the exploding o thing next to the link button???
"Remove link." If you mouse-over the buttons it tells you what they do.
As an aside, I'm loving the keyboard shortcuts. Ctrl-B for bold and so forth.
Mouse? I remember those. 😀
Thanks Cougar! The hover thing doesn’t work on my iPad!!

The settings for inserting a link also give the option to open in another tab, which is great.
...but even better if coded as the default? 🙂

Some people do, some don’t. I’m not sure why but it’s definitely not a local issue, [b]it’s something to do with the user accounts[/b].
Now I understand the missing button. 🙂
Subscriber gets the features of bell and whistle.
Member gets the basic.
Am I correct?

Did I miss my instruction manual as I'm moving?
Ooh it works!

Where is that amazing building in your test pic above??
