Official upgrade issue thread!

[shefjr]

I have been having an issue since the upgrade viewing some of the images here on the forum. This is what I get to see for some of the images. There are also other posts where I don't see any image at all just the conversation. Also, I tried to send a PM to an admin about this but, I didn't have the ability to upload a file to the PM. Maybe something helpful to add. I'm using a iPad 1 gen. And running safari. It is as far as I know all up to date but, I may be missing something.

Still waiting for a response on this. Do they even look at this thread anymore?

Some folks have mentioned that clicking the Title of a thread doesn't take you to the first post. It's getting really irritating! I mean, there are threads I have "not" ever read, or even "seen" yet, but when I click the Title, it takes me to halfway down the first page! Sometimes the second or third page! Skipping many posts, including the original post! 'Sup with that?!

It should be taking it to your first unread post.


How about the search function that doesn't work. I've been using google to search for threads here.

example:

• searching here for "picture of yourself" and flagging title only resulted in 0 posts.
• searching here for "yourself" and flagging the title only resulted in 0 posts.
• searching here for "yourself" resulted in 191 posts, the majority being from the leaderboard thead, but not the one I was looking for.
• searching google for "site:thephotoforum.com picture of yourself" resulted in the first 9 pages of results showing the exact thread I wanted.

Yeah, but it doesn't. Even in threads that I'VE NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT (i.e. the FIRST post is the first unread post) this stupid forum software goes straight to the LAST post in the thread. Worst forum software EVER.

Well, when it works, it does that fairly well. And it's a nice little feature. However, it doesn't work "most" of the time, and skips a lot of posts on threads I've never opened before.

Weird...for me it goes to the FIRST UNREAD post, every single time. On threads I have not opened, it loads the original post. On runaway train threads, like Leaderboard, it takes me to the last unread post in the thread...right where I left off the last time...wondering if the aberrant behavior you and others have mentioned might be due to differing browsers possibly being non-compliant with one or more web development protocols.

Or settings / plug-ins. I'll do some more testing but for me it seems the only time it goes to the first post is when there is only one post.

So...where is the GD ignore list option located? I've wasted 20 minutes going through various pages looking for it under this **** new software!

Click on the a'hole's, I mean candidate's user name or avatar and you get a dark popup with their info. Ignore is an option - in the top third of popup

I use Firefox 33.01 if it helps in locating the problem.

I use Firefox 32.o3 if it helps in locating the problem.

Or, "Hover" over your username at the very very top of the page. Lots of options show up!

I've never seen it go to anything other than the very last post in a thread. As Charlie said, the only time it ever goes to the first post in a thread is if there is only one post in it. I just tried a 6-page thread that I am absolutely certain I've never looked at and, as usual, it went right to the last post in the topic.

Even if it did go to the first unread post in a thread, that's still not "Normal". Every forum I have ever used goes to the FIRST post in a thread when the thread title is clicked. If the developers want behavior like that at least make it an option. "When a thread title is clicked go to: 1) First Post; 2) First Unread Post; 3) Last Post".

You could be right in that it is a browser incompatibility. I don't think so though since I've tried it on 2 versions of Firefox and 1 version of Internet Explorer with the same results.

All I know is that it is annoying as hell. I click a thread title and then have to scroll all the way to the top just to see where it started. What if some application software decided to change the direction of the scroll wheel on your mouse? Or decided to swap left-button and right-button behavior? It's not something that one would get accustomed to, it's just plain wrong and annoying.

I just did a quick test. I opened a four-post thread for the first time without signing in and I went to the first post (no surprise). I closed, then restarted the browser, signed on, and went to the same thread. It took me to post number four, the last one. Windows 8.1, Chrome 36.0. I'll fiddle with it in Firefox, MSIE and Opera but I doubt the results will be any different.

Update: So far, this evening, this has been working properly. New threads go to the first post, previously opened threads are going somewhere in the middle or the end (I haven't fully tested that). So, either it has been fixed (nothing has been changed on my end) or it was a FM.





So far
