Yup and now it’s changed.
Add it to your list.
Do we need to do anything to make that work Drac? Just getting the coffee cup here
Replies Created- I can’t get to the thread I replied to. All I see is a list of my replies.
You see the bit that says posted x mins/hours ago? Click that.
Yep it takes you to your last reply doesn't tell you if any one has posted after it. I assume the formatting and useful information on the topics created page will be coming back to provide some useful information. Unless that isn't what Drac means....

Doesn't work for me

Maybe refresh the browser if it doesn't work?
again different device, edit still doesn't work so there may be some platform issues unless we need to do something to our browsers?
Oh, that takes me to the thread.

Cache cleared, browser restarted still not working.
Tried on Chrome on Windows and Android.
(also if a fix may need a cache clear etc. better to tell people to do that - from the list of things I leaned the hard way doing updates and support)
Ah! It's broke for me now too. 😳😂
Oh, that takes me to the thread.
Clicking on the "Posted X time ago" link on your replies page? That's never done anything useful for me (it just scrolls current post to top) and behaviour hasn't changed. I've tried in incognito window (which is standard dev trick to get rid of browser cache, cookies etc. - why what did you think incognito mode was for?)
Is/was this working properly for people? (I'll stop wasting time fixing it client side if so)
Or were you talking about the edit button - which is broken for me again, having briefly worked again.
Another pub analogy, your local boozer gets its nice gabled roof replaced with.. a flat roof.

I believe I've spotted what's going on here. It's tied in with the page numbering issue. I can edit posts on this thread from page 24 backwards, but not on pages 25 and 26 which aren't showing on the forum index.
Seems to be a lot of things related to the page count problem.

So if I want to edit a post, I have to post two pages of filler within 5 minutes to make said post editable?
Yeah. I've documented as much as I can, hopefully they'll be able to take a look at it tomorrow.

Don't be obtuse. It's clearly not intended behaviour.
As a workaround for now, you can manually edit the URL to include the post number. So on your post there,
http://singletrackworld.com/forum/reply/edit/
would become
http://singletrackworld.com/forum/reply/9807193/edit/
You can get the post number from the "Posted x ago" link under your post.
Well, I've just tried to reply in another thread with a quote and the result is quite frankly laughable. iOS 10.3.3 Safari on iPad.
Post number 6 (possibly) on the person seeking personal development thread.
The process is not intuitive and I'm not a tech, which means ICBA to **** about with whatever I need to do to make my contributions a little more readable, I have anough trouble with that, so don't need any help.
Although a tutorial on how to post a quote, add some text would be handy. Please don't start with hovering over buttons, I'm one of the chosen few with buttons, but seem unable to hover with an iPad.
Starting a new paragraph doesn't enable upper case btw. Same iOS etc as above.
Basically it’s still broke Alice sorry about that. There are work arounds but for now I’d use what other people do “which is to do this”.
@slackalice > If you're finding issues with it then the easiest workaround of course would be simply to ignore the quote button until it's fixed (like I've just done here). You don't have to quote someone in order to reply.
Wait what?
How dare you come onn and suggest you don’t have to reply someone without numerous amounts of quoting. I’m briniging this up with management.
"management" ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Too late I've taken this all the way to the top.
What CMS does singletrack use? Would be better archiving the old forum and starting new with something like discourse.
You had to know I was joshing, surely?
Sorry, I missed it. I'm not well and it's been a long day.

Yeah - maybe not the best thread for tongue-in-cheek humour.
My apologies

I don't know what the back end is. The forum software is BBpress. I've discussed the choice of forum software with Mark and Andy previously and have been advised that they have very good reasons for sticking with BBpress.
Even if hypothetically they were to change software, all the migration processes I looked into involved "Step 1: upgrade BBpress to the latest version," so we'd still be here anyway.

while the forum likes to display quoted text at a size that can be read from my screen by the 90yo lady over the road (using her reading glasses), im out
No, no humour in here thanks.
🖐🏻🛑
can you explain the pink dot red dot?
edit: its a hand, sorry #hashtagfacepalmemoji
The one thing I’d love to see fixed is the row of buttons across the top of the reply box that put the bits at each end of a piece of text to make it bold, or italic, or emphasise a quote, or whatever.
I’m currently creating them manually, which seems to work [i]but[/i], are a ballache to have to keep doing all the bloody time!
The emoji button would be nice to have back, I have a source of my own, but I have to leave the forum, find the appropriate emoji, select it, copy’n’paste it...

🤦🏻♂️
If you are on tablet or smartphone you can use the emoji keyboard.
But it's on the list to go back in for Computer users??
No, no humour in here thanks.
Dude, your sponge is showing.

No idea mike.

That's not my sponge. 🍌
Just noticed that, along with the forum having got reallllly sloooooooooooooow, when I click back onto this thread, for example, it drops me into page 25, but there are 27 pages... 💩
And after posting the comment above, the refresh took me back to page 25, and the edit button took me to a “page not found”
☠️
But at least I can use the emoji keyboard!
🤘🏻
Yes it’s been doing that for awhile.
It’s on the list.
I'm as irritable as the best of them, but step back folks!
It's a bit of a cock-up as far as migration exercises go (the hardest of changes IME) and the site owner as PM could come up with a more honest message saying "thing's are clearly broken now so give us X weeks to fix,please report them and we'll prioritise", which would have totally changed the direction of this thread, but he's hasn't and it's his toy.
The drama though is just plaindisproportionate, and yes Zokes he did bite at you, I'd probably have done the same.
A drop in traffic is what will spur any additional resource/panic, not us lot 🙂
Heh. I can't edit to correct my typo errors:)
“Yup I hear as a paying customer it’s not ideal but people can post”
Sometimes. Sometimes their post vanishes, sometimes they get 10 if them.
“they can read topics”
Sometimes. Sometimes they get faraway error. Often half the thread is lost to duplicate posts and random html markup.
“there is a clumsy way to find topics you replied to”
Is there? Perhaps instructions on this could be provided as a sticky?
“and this is all for a bigger project which in time they will inform you of.”
Which no one is arguing with, just that releasing something this poor was a really bad way of going about it.
“and yes Zokes he did bite at you, I’d probably have done the same.”
And if you ran a business I was a prospective customer of, I wouldn’t be afterwards. It’s been noted by the way that I’m far from alone in my thoughts. Come to think of it, making a decision that led to this much foreseeable turmoil to a business and then not getting it fixed quickly is quite an accurate description of a shit boss.
And of course, editing posts is not possible either.
