Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
I never noticed that the editor used to auto capitalize the first letter of sentence, because I'm not too lazy to hit the shift key. :p

I never noticed that the old editor did that either. :hscratch:
Would be kinda handy for using on a mobile device, though. |

I don't think the editor ever did that, but it was probably a result of an interaction between the old editor and mobile device keyboards.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
When are we getting post likes IBJoel ?

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
I don't know the exact time. It's not planned at this moment as we finish software updates across the department, but I believe it's just a plugin that gets turns on. "Private Messages" in the top right becomes a "Notifications" dropdown with PMs, likes, quote notifications, friend requests, etc. |

IBJoel
Any idea about this? I think it's really cool that AFAIK has the little subtext going on, and it would be really cool if at lest some of these others had that too. Do you have a list of acronyms that do this right now? Can any of these be added?

https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile...keyboard-apps/ And you said you're using the Desktop version of the site, not Mobile? What editor are you using? The new default one? Edit: Also, what version of iOS are you on? Is it the most current version, iOS 12.1.3, released January 22, 2019 ? |

Answering all those questions shouldn’t be necessary when 25 days ago the site worked perfectly.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
Any chance of blocking links as thread titles... or for anyone under x amount of posts? At least it would make these keto/etc spammers' job a bit harder.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread

Seems to work okay for me. There's a line to "Paste a File URL..." Just drop the URL to your image, there, and that should be it. |
Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
Getting the same as Oldboy ... using Google Chrome on my laptop. Strange popup screen. When I try to paste the URL in there, the URL just disappears.
Even using the old [img] bookends isn't working. |
Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
Having the same problem.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
Weird. I'm using Chrome on my Windows 7 desktop, and I can drop the URL without an issue.

Even using the old [img] bookends isn't working. We're trying to host more images on the DVD Talk server, because when stuff is hosted on another site, it runs the risk of not working in the future (See: PhotoBucket). But there's still a spot for the URL at the top of that uploader. I just copy/pasted this from Amazon: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...d04a964bc4.jpg |
Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
I wonder... Do you guys have Javascript disabled?
When I drop in the URL, it immediately loads the image and gives me a preview of it, as well as the option to change the order of the images (i.e. if you've added multiples images). I'm guessing this is done via Javascript. |

Oh! OK, this finally got implemented. So that's the unified file uploader. You should be able to upload just about any media file from your computer through that.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
Are we allowing new members to post threads earlier than before or is it just coincidence that we're getting hammered with more spam accounts than usual?

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
I like the update, more or less. However, I've noticed lately if I post in a thread, then tap "New Posts," that thread isn't there. I suppose I'm the last to post in it so there's nothing new to read, though if I'm responding to Person B and want to go back to see what Person A wrote before them, I have to do a little extra work to get there. If I hit the "Back" button, I also have to hit "Refresh" to see my post. Sometimes, I've wondered if my post even went through and have to remind myself of the new

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
Thanks, but where is "Today's Posts" and "Quick Links"? I don't see them anywhere. This may solve the other odd issue I have now, which is 20+ pages of unread threads that I don't need to know about.
|
Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
Quick Links is a drop down menu from the top bar. It's over to the right near your User info. I set Today's Posts as a bookmark in my browser and use it like I used to use New Posts.
