There's no option to upload photos currently on the mobile version.

Scroll right to the bottom and select the 'Desktop' view ... at some point this week that will become the default mobile view, likely tomorrow lunch time. Then you should be able to upload pictures

It definitely solved that problem, but Holy curse word is it unreadable!

Edit: okay, it seemed to have glitched. It's now mildly readable.

If you can do a screenshot I'd love to see it (can use the image upload button). I've tested a number of different resolutions/devices, but there are so many out there that I'm always interested in seeing more, to help improve things.

Not sure if previously reported HoTWire


Just tried to generate a multi quote., on iPad Pro.

Selected about 5 messages, but there is no reply option.

Only quick reply, see photo.

This should be behaving how it did previously. I'll double check there isn't something missing in the Reply stuff.

What are you expecting here? To be able to hit quote multiple times? Did this work in the old layout? (I know it was a thing I reimplemented slightly differently in the new editor to enable clicking quote on multiple posts, but the new editor had some other (serious) issues and I reverted everything back to the in built Proboards stuff)

There you go HoTWire.

This used to be the result of clicking onto and selecting each response.

Then you got this response when you hit publish/post.

All devices & browsers I use suffer these :-
There's no editing tools when you make a reply, they only show on editing your post. Makes it a pain to add links,smilies etc while creating a reply.
The pop out privacy & cookies tab is a extremely annoying, continually popping out despite being accepted a million times.

The "new" icons are there but disappear depending on screen size/orientation. If you turn yuor phone to landscape you'll see them. That's on a Galaxy S8 on Chrome, on my 8" tablets I can see them in both portrait/landscape (Lenovo M8 on Chrome)

Sept 15, 2023 10:07:09 GMT adam73bgt said:

Aha so they are! I leave my phone locked in portrait most of the time so hadn't seen them 😅

Sept 15, 2023 10:39:46 GMT HoTWire said:

I'll try and add the new icon to portrait view as I expect most people to be viewing the forum on mobile that way around.

Sept 15, 2023 16:26:08 GMT HoTWire said:

Did some updates, including new icon

grizz I just did a multi quote reply using that method, interesting it doesn't work for you ... Sorry to all the people I've just caused notifications for


I selected the posts and on the last one I clicked "Quote" button and they were all in my posting/editor box.

HoTWire

Thank you.

I will try do the same set again, selecting and the using Quote.

I am not always right or wrong but obviously I try to help.

Lets try again.

Is good for me to know how people use the site so I can make sure I don't break things. Lots of bits are out of my control and sometimes break without me realising (like the Likes display stuff on Sunday).

Is it possible to have the option, that the letf hand side menu hides auotmatically when You click on something there that leads You to a new page, withuot then having to shut the menu manually?

Maybe, I can certainly look in to it. The state for if it is open or closed is maintained on your local browser, so it would be a per browser thing if you swapped devices. Let me have a think and I'll see if I can make something happen. The side menu isn't quite in its final form yet so refining and making that better for people is on my general list.

No worries now, it seems to work okay.

Is there an option to increase text size on the new mobile setting. The old one was fine but my eyesight has deteriorated over last 18 months and find the text way smaller than before and difficult to read.

I might be able to do this as a custom profile setting. Let me have an experiment and I'll see what I can manage for you.

If you go in to your Profile -> Edit Profile -> Personal tab you will find at the bottom a check box for Increase Mobile Text Size, tick that and then click Save Personal Settings to get bigger text in the message area.

If that works for you I can add in other places where you may want font increases, but will need to make sure they don't do something mad with the design.

This is also a great test bed for other things I can now show/hide/change based on custom settings, which is pretty exciting.

[norm75]

Thanks hotwire, I can see again.

For your next trick can you walk on water

Text was weeny so done the increase text size which is OK but doesn't work properly in all the threads, in the readers modification section all the text is wider than the screen so I have to scroll side to side? Seems OK on the others

Think there may be some threads with images that overflow the normal size. I'm looking in to this. Found a few signature images that did, but I've fixed that now.

I’m getting a bit of page number weirdness now, rather than just scrolling down you do have to click on the button to get to the second page now whereas I didn’t before.

Also the ‘new’ button doesn’t seem to work. I just clicked on it to go to the new post in this thread and it just took me to the first post.

[misteralz]

I'm finding that the 'new' button's a bit too wee, so if you're wondering why I've visited your profile page, that's why...
