The New APUG, Welcome Back! (info, known issues, bug reports, feature requests)

[Sean]

One very minor thing, "Today's Post" should be "Today's Posts".

thanks

any chance of going back to the old way of having "mark all read" actually mark all read even if you're in a subforum? That's how it always worked before and I can't get used to this new way. I mark everything read only to come back again and again and find I only marked one forum read, and have to go through all the new posts again that I've already gone through once (or twice...or more) before to make sure there are no new ones....the old way worked great! I never read by forum, I read by skimming the list of all new posts in all the forums I'm watching. I could right click into threads or set my browser to open everything in a new tab, but those are annoying, extra work solutions to a problem that didn't even exist before.

This should work now but there is a slight bug and it's definitely going to be fixed this weekend. I'm putting in another point release and several fixes.

It looks like it does auto embed. Making the text italic disables that. But in the end the video can be watched on youtube or viewed from youtube by clicking the youtube icon in the video:

use italics? https://youtu.be/SeAOaJU101g
nice trick to fool the system.
thanks

"Mark All Read" seems to have been moved to a "..." submenu, and has been replaced by "search forums" in the menu.
Is that a deliberate design decision, or is it an inadvertent result of some other change ?

(I don't find it a helpful change either way, but that's just me )

What are you browsing on? Pretty much 900px wide and every item will be shown but below that it will start creating a hidden menu. It's called "responsive design" and makes it so pages can shrink for smaller screens. I'll see if I can rig it so Mark All Read stays on the left and doesn't get sucked up into the menu.

This is on my 1200x600 netbook (remember those ) - but it wasn't doing it the day before yesterday, so I just wondered what had changed.
Don't put yourself out, your todo list is long enough already without your tweaking just to suit a device i only use for an hour in the mornings!

Well, "The Lounge" still shows up on the home page, despite being a blocked forum...

 

[pdeeh]

Strange, I'm unable to reproduce it on 2 systems and 5 browsers. No other reports of this so far. Can you try a different browser and tell me if you get it there too?

this isn't happening any more.
haven't changed anything at my end.

Hi, do you see the lounge forum listed here?

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Thanks

hard to know why, let me know if you see it again, thanks. I was thinking it might be if you have a post in a forum that you have ignored.

Thanks. It seems to be working the old way, as of this moment.

 

[desertrat]

This is a test to see if I can post to a thread. Wasn't able to post several days ago.

Edit: OK, working now!

The 'Mark Forums Read' link in the main APUG menu should now always 1-click mark all read no matter where you are on the site.

"No Permission"

The software says I need to be a subscriber to read the "nicest lens" thread,

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

posted in the Miscellaneous Equipment forum. Yet, after closing the pop-up I can read the forum and post to it.

I intend to become a subscriber, but I'll have to mail an actual check, since I never do online financial transactions.

Hi, members can now view attached APUG media within threads even if non-subscriber.

Thats what I was trying to say just above. Thanks again

Still needs to be swapped with the New Posts link... Went to check for new posts after viewing a forum that uses vBulletin today. Instead, marked everything read.

Acting outside the box here...

Thank you for a continuously updating red flag that shows how many new, unread post there are.

How is it now?

 

[pdeeh]

I notice today that "My Posts" also lists threads that I had posted in but now have both unsubscribed from and have on ignore.

 

[John_Nikon_F]

How is it now?

MUCH better. Thanks.

The New Posts link seems to be missing on my iPhone. Am I just overlooking it?

Look for the "..." once the screen shrinks:

I'm working on having it not disappear.

 

[bvy]

Wow. Look at that. Thanks!

 

[bvy]

Okay, I accidentally clicked Mark All Read trying to click New Posts. How do I undo that?

ETA: Damage is done, I guess. Never mind.
