jimdahl Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I installed a notable update to the forum that included a new version of the editor. Hope this helps with some of the editor problems people have been having, it's certainly worked well for me so far! (the red quote line is gone!) However, given that it was a significant update, I'm sure there will be some issues. Let me know of any problems. 1 Quote
jdub27 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 The New Content page is definitely different. Quote

Yeah, that's the biggest complaint I've seen on their support forum (which I've been watching closely to decide when to jump). They claim these "streams" are much better because you can set up streams other than just unread. But, I'm certainly not used to them yet. Made me wonder if this is them dipping their toe in the water to consider moving away from a traditional 90s era paginated forum to something more feed-based like Twitter or Facebook. Quote
Cratter Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Is the full version available for mobile. I'm not seeing the "default/non responsive" at the bottom of the page. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Is there a way to add a quote box for lines copied and pasted from a news article? The quote function (separate from quoting another user's post) seems to have disappeared. Quote
jdub27 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Also seems to be some buttons missing. When I hover over what should be the settings button it says link and brings that up. The link button says emoticon and brings that up. Align right shows/does align center. Break link button shows/does align right. Quote

jimdahl Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 Most of the problems (apparently missing functions) are due to people having cached icons from the old system. Clearing your browser's cache would fix it. So would a forced reload (holding Shift or Control while pressing reload on most computer browsers). 1 Quote

Tried googles browser and the default android. Also the default android web browser won't let me reply. The box never pops up it is stuck on the "click to choose files\insert other media." So I'm using Chrome. It shows the same reply box but actually pops up the reply box when I click it instead of doing nothing. Quote

Given that it doesn't work in your usual browser, but does when you switch away to a less common one, I'm guessing that this is a browser cache issue as I described above. Quote
Cratter Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 And here I was gonna say it worked after restarting my phone. Quote
Cratter Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 And yes clearing that browsers cache worked. Quote
Fetch Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I did the cache thing & I'm back ....I think Quote

jimdahl Posted December 20, 2015 Author Posted December 20, 2015 Just take the URL to a tweet (e.g. http://twitter.com....), and paste it into the editor. If you're having troubles getting the link to a specific tweet, hit the "...", click copy link, and then copy the link to your clipboard (Ctrl-C on windows, Cmd-C on apple). Quote
Goon Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 This is what I am getting when I try to embed tweets. Quote
Cratter Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Goon. Don't use the "Insert other media." Just post the link in the reply box and it automatically converts it for you. But for me it only "pops up" after I clicked edit. Otherwise it looked like this: https://twitter.com/siouxsports/status/667015788826611712 1 Quote
UND1983 Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Why do the dates on the Forum home page all show Dec. 15 for me? Quote

That seems to be what works for me when posting from my iPhone. Quote
Blackheart Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 How do I get from Forums back to the Home page? (SIouxSports.com) I tried using the 'SiouxSports.com Home' link in the banner located next to 'Browse' and 'Activity' but it just brings me to the Forum Home page. Did I miss an update somewhere? I've been using an older IPad to view the site, maybe that's part of the issue? Quote

The top right button (rectangle with row of lines graphic, right side of uppermost title bar) has the home link among other things Quote
Ray77 Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I couldn't get on SiouxSports.com all day yesterday, I kept getting "Page cannot be displayed". I tried from my phone and 2 different computers. Anyone else have this same issue or was it just me? Quote
