On Chrome on Mac you now have a “quote” next to the username.
You're not running the STW Chrome extension are you? Because I'm not aware that the site has ever had a native "quote" link there and it would be a strange place to put one given the current layout (I'd expect it to appear bottom right). The STW Chrome extension does however have such a link - a link which doesn't work with the new clever reply box in any released version (I'm currently running an alpha version which kind of works).
Any news on the missing but not forgotten 'Forum Overview' button at the end of a thread page?
I miss it dearly on mobile.
@aracer can you post link for extension again please
why did that go bold when i never clicked on B button ?
Also, whilst you're collating outstanding points Cougar, any chance of an update on whether we're ever going to see:
a) A return to the "threads replied to" page
b) Hovering over a thread giving the name of the last poster (so you can see if anyone has replied)
Shop!
Went to shop clothing section looking for wooly hat or beanie, was surprised to be redirected to a random ad from the classified from weeks ago. I think some placeholder text would be more appropriate.
Cheers.
Download link for extension:
Post with instructions:
https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/forum-update/page/29/
I note that the "quote" button isn't fixed in the version there - it's not working well enough to release it (I think I know how to make it properly, but doing real work on a Sunday today, so sorry it's not a high priority).
p.s. Instructions found by searching for download link using https://cse.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=002353871167780190211:ffna6g0opko - searching for that breaks the STW search!
Oh FFS - I can't even post a link to a specific page of a thread without it getting broken - let's try again:
https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/forum-update/page/29/
edit: it's at the top of page 29 - can we get the linking fixed, it's horribly broken (I see the correct link in the edit box, but it strips the "page/29/" off the end when it's posted)
Would it be possible to get links to the different forum sections on each page - maybe a drop down from the top nav bar?.
As if I've read the last thread I want in chat, I have to go back, then open the forums page and then open the bike page.
Page load times are a bit slow, so takes longer than it should
aracer - I'm not, couldn't get that to work at all.
As if I’ve read the last thread I want in chat, I have to go back, then open the forums page and then open the bike page.
I've just created 2 bookmarks on my bookmarks bar - bikes & chat.
Strange how people use the forums differently - I just view the forums all together, which saves any clicking on links.

It's on the list.

See the "our forum" sticky.
Some randoms:
1. Probably been asked several times in the 63 preceding pages, but will the classifieds return to being sorted by date of thread creation rather than date of last reply? (It's hard to keep track of at present.)
2. If it helps, on the editor quirks thing, on iOS (certainly 10, can test 11) if you type a post and then delete it, the autocorrect still thinks there's some text in the field, as does selection (which may explain why it seems impossible to select text in the page once you've typed in the box). You probably already knew.
3. Why are people complaining about the sidebar having basically the same content it's had for years? *boggle*
4. HANG IN THERE.
What iOS and browser version Whitestone.
iOS 7.1, Safari 7 Mobile
It's an iPad 2 so quite old and I didn't upgrade past iOS7 as versions 8 and beyond are too memory and processor intensive for it. I suspect it's quite a low user base for something that's that old. I wouldn't worry about the bug unless you can replicate it on something newer.
Video threads are a rightold mess
https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/rock-bands-with-a-female-vocalist/page/5/
Some vids show, some, usually with the tag and short-link just show as text.
Be nice if that was sorted, if it ain't on da list alreddy.
(and that ^^ link post with a image added is bleedin pointless.)
(and that ^^ video of holey glove person appeared from me posting the just word video in square brackets 😆 ) (huh? Its gone now!)

Just to report that the Underline function is still not working.
We know.
Looking at this on an iPad 2 and and..........I CAN ZOOM IN.
Well done STW geeky boffins.

Properly zoom or is it just the iOS double tap to zoom functionality? For the latter just double tap any part of a post that isn't a link or image and the browser will make the post as wide as the screen. This works with anything that HTML defines as a "block" element, so image, paragraph, etc.
Proper zoom - iPhone too.
Oh I’ve now got buttons that work on an iPhone 😁
thank you
Forum shortcuts should be back at the top of the page tomorrow
Is the menu fixed on iPad, and I've just got a sticky cash?

One of many improvements for iPad users. Like.
Forum running horrifically slow, in fact maybe while website.... on iOS device
Normally average on Android?
Any update onoforum activity?

Nice one, cheers Mark 🙂
Err hi, a suggestion, albeit one that may not be for everyone. I view this esteemed forum at work, there, I said it, the white, grey and black colour scheme is perfect for no-one noticing or caring what it is I'm up to. However,on the main forum page at the bottom right there is a bright coloured vid of a Orange Stage 4. This is drawing others eyes to what I'm looking at, eyes I'd rather not be drawn.
So dear STW Towers, can you just keep it plain text please? Or I may be forced to spend less time on here and more time doing what I'm paid for.
Forum links up top. Yay!
That’s what post-it notes are for lunge.
I'm not sure what Lunge is after. I see ads on the right when logged out, but when logged in the column on the right is just text and the grayed out follow us symbols; perfect for stealth at work...
Edit - I see it now; on the main Forums overview page.
I can't start a new topic as the topic area is taken up with a STW you tube video
Forum now perfect for me on iPad mini.
Briefly logged out… first of the clever "looks like it's part of a post in a thread" ads I see is fake news suggesting Gary Lineker has been arrested and is a sexual predator. Nice.

Neither of those seem to be improvements - not the 'clever' "looks like its part of a post in a thread' advert, or the channelling of bullshit 'news' about a celebrity which is untrue, presumably for clickbait reasons.
Edit: Swear filter also seems to be missing, but will leave to editing of that to others if they deem it necessary, as we're all adults.
Oh, and quote function doesn't work for me (clicking on double quotation mark icon, as you would reasonably expect would be the quote functionality).
Also, the line at the bottom of the thread, i.e. "you must be logged in to post" should really be linked straight to the log in page, rather than just being standard text as currently.
Adverts should look like adverts, not as if they're part of a poster's comment, such as this from AA on the rugby thread;
I saw this mentioned a few pages back but I don't think there was a response (but I may have missed it!). When you go to the Forum Replies, it only has your reply and not a link to the original thread. Is it possible to have your posting history with links to the actual threads (like the threads started page)?

That happened to me last week.

Is still a very poor workaround.
It’s temporary. As mentioned numerous times now they’ve been working on making the forum stable and useable the added features will be looked at in time.
Thanks Kelvin
