What’s the deal with embedding pictures from Flikr?  Tried to embed some on a F/S ad (now sold so not a stealth bump) and they wouldn’t automatically display, you had to click the link to get to them.  Just been back to put on it had sold and the pictures are embedded fine but the links are still there!  Does this new forum self-mend/have a mind of it’s own or something?

Bug report:

Extra cr lf are inserted when correcting txt in android among other oddities with autocomplete. If I go back to the beginning  or mid way through some txt to edit and select a suggested word during typing odd behaviour. Sometimes the word is inserted with a extra newline , other times the word is inserted in addition to what I started typing, other times it inserts the word at the beginning of a line. Inconsistent behaviour.

It seems this changeover has opened up a whole Grand Canyon’s-worth of worms.

Or a ginormous game of whack-a-mole.

Any bets on recovery by this time next year?

Did I suggest that?

It shouldn’t really make a difference if the software works properly – in any case I’m fairly sure the post counts are just another bug rather than an indication that stuff has been lost from the DB.

A bit faster now, but it’s still way slower than other sites and slower than it used to be – faster than it was is hardly difficult!

My bad, must have got folks mixed up 🙂

It’s still opening links in a second here today, just about.

No posts were deleted anyway.

Looks a lot better, but is variable in Safari

Redirects are back, like a bad virus.  Plus yesterday it was impossible to post using SwiftKey, but oddly seems okay again.

Mark said give it time  but the longer time goes on the seemingly worse it gets as a user experience. Redirects are the last straw.

Just had 42 pop-ups blocked message, then a few got through.  One was a porn site with full volume sounds!  Seeing as I’m sat in the middle of a services having a drink surrounded by kids and young families I’m mightily relieved I had my headphones in.

Having the update making things awkward to use is one thing, the update not solving the pop-up problem and making it even worse is another thing entirely.

I’ve raised this again.

I don’t know why people get upset at the lack of emojis – you only need two, roll eyes & smiley.

Using more than two together is immature like stupid deliberate spelling mistakes – nearly as bad as using lol.

🤔👌👜

I don’t want to use 2 emojis together, I just want a selection to use for different circumstances.

essel – you just need to know the right folk to get access to emojis

Unforgivable, really.

why do several of these “new”! emoji (like aracer’s just up ^ there) have a daft-looking white line above the mouth, as though they’re dipped their ‘tache in their pint of Stella

Aren’t the Porn Site pop ups a feature of the site ?

🤷‍♂️🙅‍♂️🤬🤬

For some reason I now can’t middle click on a link to open a page in a new tab. Every other site (that I’ve tried) works fine. STW used to work. Firefox on Windows, FWIW.

Unforgivable, really.

Especially given it’s allegedly a family site, with no **** swearing allowed.

Unforgivable, really

You off then?

I thought so, handy ✊

It’s bad.

Don’t want to sound like an apologist, because I’m not, but y u no P?

I’ve never had a problem with redirects on here but is now suddenly ridiculous

Redirect

Redirect2

Redirect3

Thanks for the feedback on the redirects.  There’s a thread running.

https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/popups-redirects/

Don’t want to sound like an apologist, because I’m not, but y u no P?

Because those with no P are already supporting the forum – and the magazine – by being both the market targetted by and paid for by the advertisers, and by freely providing content that is subsequently used to attract more readers.

Many of the no P’s accept that they will see ads on the site but there really is no excuse for the shitty pop-ups.

Edit, just read your post Colin. Yes, I agree that the pop ups are inexcusable. 21 before I managed to log in earlier today.

But how much fun has this place given you over the years?

How many excellent people have you met?

How much advice have you received about life, bikes, pies and other, less important things?

How many genuine friends have you made?

It’s been a month. Not a huge amount of time in the great scheme of things.

The people who own and run this place are human too. Things don’t always go as planned. Life is complicated.

I’ve taken more out of Singletrack than Singletrack has taken out of me. How about we all chill the **** out and show a little patience?

I agree with that comment, but the Porn Pop Ups/Redirects are inexcusable.

Soz.

Still asking pretty please for a simple button at the bottom of a thread which takes you back to the overview.

Reading on mobile and having to reach right across the screen to top left every time is like having an iPhone. 🤔

A screen finger shimmy, a click then another click to get back to overview currently.  A single button at the bottom like before would be rad! 😁

Do you not have the overlay “top of thread” button bottom left?

Sorry – bottom right. Too late to edit.

Issue I have found is trying to access previous threads I have posted on. When you go to your posts in profile it won’t open the thread that the post was in, just the actual post

grahamt – on that “replies” page, click on the little # at the bottom of each of the posts and you go to the thread

“grahamt – on that “replies” page, click on the little # at the bottom of each of the posts and you go to the thread”

That was VERY lucky for me, as I was that what I was trying to find out. Not very clear or wide known?

Maybe they can do some bullet points on some of the new ways on how these (new) things work!

And maybe make that page default, to save having to keep clicking through to it, I am no fussed on what threads I started, if there been any replies etc it show on the “previous threads I posted on”

its got really really slow again. It is a Sunday mind but…..

Do you not have the overlay “top of thread” button bottom right?

Edit. Yes, I see what you mean, the little translucent thing, but still, that’s still taking me back to top of page where I have to make yet another click to get to overview.

Life’s too short for two clicks.

Do you not have the overlay “top of thread” button bottom right?

Nope. Nothing.

Me neither
