Forum changes: preview and your feedback wanted

Hi Emmy_Bug,

We have an update on a few other issues:

We have been told that quoting works except on mobile devices such as iPads, iPhones and Android. This is because the formatting bar (which includes the button to paste quotes) are not available for mobile devices yet. We'll need to have another forum update to improve forum functionality for mobile devices, and we'll keep you posted on this. 

Our developers say they are aware of the 'going back 10 pages' bug and they are hoping to fix this soon.  

Best,
Dominique

Hi PO.dds: feel the fear, do it anyway,

Our tech team have reported that they couldn't generate the 'Not being directed automatically to the last page when they receive a notification' bug. Are you still having this problem or are other users experiencing this?  

If so, can you let me know the browser you using and on a Mac/ PC/ smart phone etc?

Best,
Dominique

Dominique - it seems to me to be that when the page hits a hundred e.g.clocks over to  201-220  that you get directed to the page before i.e. 181 - 200 (at twenty per page)

Hi XFR Bear,

I have passed your feedback on and the tech team are having the same problem, so they will investigate this now.

Best,
Dominique

Thanks, I never knew that

Hi all,

Our tech team have been in touch to say the third party filter should be in place (fingers crossed!) in the next fortnight.

I'll let you know if there are any further delays.

Best,
Dominique

Can we have some new these things please, we were promised a long time ago.

And I'm starting to think that some forumites actually look like these, so zombie ones would be good.

Or ninja...

Or just some different toys for people to play with, like 'karma' points.

You must have some options for a bit of fun...

Can we have a post like thingy like Facebook maybe thats what Karma points are???

KK perhaps you need "calmer" points

the cut and paste has gone again this time it will let you paste the post but when you submit it it just disappears

I wouldn't get any of those.

Sorry, can't be bothered reading back through the thread so this may have been mentioned (would be amazed if it hadn't),  but the wors tthin by far about the forum, and has been for at least 10 years, is the inability to do useful searches.

Why is it so hard to do what pretty much every other forum in the universe can do? I can sort by "relevance", yes, but the sorting is all over the place, so that you often get posts from 2004 or 2005 at the top of the list when you search for (say) a race.

I want to be able to eliminate threads started more than x time ago. I want to be able to include only threads with more than x number of posts. I want to be able to specify forum rather than editorial content. Started by user x perhaps. And so on.

This forum is a potentially fantastic resource but it's nigh on impossible to find what I want. Result? Massive, massive duplication of information

I think I first complained about this around 8 or 9 years ago!!!  It has never in that time been improved. Please. Sort it out. Thank you.
