By the way, that upgrade seems to have fixed the "Report to moderator" link, which was broken for a while, so you can use that again if there are any issues with a post, etc.

Actually no, the Twitter and Facebook widgets are gone from the front page - I'll fix those later.

Yeah, I have to find the change I made the last time to put that back in (for some reason it's not a link when you view it on a small screen device). The (1 new) link that appears after the title does something similar though. It should bring you to the first unread post.

(The message time also doesn't appear on small screens - that was the one that was annoying people most before)


If you have your Preferences/Forum Settings to view Last Post First, then it isn't even required.
Would only be an issue then for those that don't frequent the site often enough and have to scroll back through loads of thread pages (the fools)....:whistle:

Did an upgrade to the forum software there, which overwrote the changes I made to highlight the members in green, etc.
I'll add those changes back in in the next couple of days. In the meantime, everything else should work fine.
Anything else dodgy ye notice, let me know.

I tried to post a link to a tweet in the Connacht Squad thread and got an error message

Invalid consumer key/secret in configuration

Not sure if I did something wrong. Using Chrome on windows.

I noticed that PMs were even harder to spot since the upgrade so I enabled a couple of things.
You should now see a Settings option at the bottom of the Private Messages screen.
That will give you two options - one to get email alerts when you get a PM and the other to get a popup message on screen when you are logged in. They are both turned off by default but feel free to enable them if you don't want to miss a message.

I think my brain is trained to filter out different backgrounds because they're usually ads.

Might it be better to just denote members by highlighting their names, or the entire bar on the left hand side?

Cheers for all the work anyway.


Yeah, I think it might just be down to choice of colour - I more or less just threw a dart at the green area of the pallette and that's what came up. Was thinking I might change it to something less mucous-reminiscent. It could probably be a few shades lighter.
The left bar doesn't show up on phones so I was looking at ways to give a better visual distinction for members.

That should default to unchecked now.
To unsubscribe from an individual topic there is an option in the "Actions" dropdown.

Appreciate the work you are putting into this.

Strange one: every post in this thread (not any other Clan thread) appears as a message in my e-mail account, which automatically categorizes it as SPAM. It says enter site for an Unsubscribe button; but I could not find it.

Yeah the default setting on the site is that when you reply to a thread it subscribes you to the thread and you receive a message for any new post.

You can stop this by going into your Profile (little green person icon on the right of the forum menu bar) and Preferences then Forum Settings.

Change the Select subscription as default setting to No .

If you then click on the Profile link on the Forum Menu, you can see any threads you are Subscribed to and select the ones you want to un-subscribe from...

Pinky was going to look to see if there is way to change the global default for Thread subscriptions to no...

Or you could provide more useful details, like what browser you're using and if you use different browsers for mobile/PC do you see same issues. Not every issue is site related, a lot are browser choice or device dependent...

Remember also this site/forum is supported by volunteers giving up heir own time, so give as much detail (Inc images) if you have an issue, there's no test lab to trial out reported issues so you need to be as clear about the issue as possible....

Thanks
