this new forum is awesome! finally we can change our username!
@crankyfart - but why would you ever want to change such an epic username?
-
I would like to use the "unread topics" page as more than an all or nothing page if possible. is there a way to add a "remove" button to each post so you can filter the ones you want to click into and remove the ones you don't? I could then leave myself with a list of the 6-10 pages I want to look into. I know that new posts continue to populate on that page, but i wanted to type this thought out anyhow.
-
Do you mean like this? So if you hover of the avatar/profile image of the post, you can tick it. For example, if you want to select every For Sale thread. Once you're happy with what you've marked you can hit 'Mark as Read' this will then clear the threads you've selected.
-
Oh boy, would have never clicked on the Avatar!
Great possibilities to select. There is a lot to learn new.@AdamJ But why is it the Avatar of the founder of the thread. Why not the person who last posted. Missing this information when scrolling through new posts on my phone!
-
exactly! I thought the green check was to follow or get notifications for that specific thread.
you probably could have guessed @AdamJ, but I do NOT RTFM in most situations.
-
@Aetas Haha sorry, I got myself in a twist and had no unread posts to test on. If you click anywhere in the area highlighted red, when you're looking at the UNREAD POSTS view, you should get taken to the post in question.
@jordanscollected No problem at all, it's a learning curve for everyone. I've just had the benefit of using it for the last 6 months

That’s working perfect on my IPad. But on my phone it looks like this:
There is no information who posted and the Avatar is the founder of thread.

If I turn my iPhone horizontal all is good.

Text is very jittery under my thumb when scrolling and trying to read. Very annoying to lose my place and refind it constantly.
Also 2 bars at the top and 1 at the bottom constantly moving is also very annoying.
The jittery text is really a deal breaker as I feel it's migraine inducing as well as extremely frustrating.
It's like trying to read with 3 strobe lights in your face and the book is moving.
Yeah this is driving me crazy too. I’ve never been a fan of “infinite scroll” forums for this reason. I think having everything organized into pages is much more streamlined.

I'm trying the pagination setting. So far it's not an improvement.

@chrisjohnnick I was reading through some of the older posts and just wanted to highlight a useful suggestion that you had where you wanted to save posts for later. You can now bookmark posts and you'll be able to go back to them via your profile.
Just hit the 3 dots menu at the bottom right of a post and then press 'Bookmark' to save it.cc @AdamJ

Switching to Chrome browser in mobile mode now and the pagination setting. Results seem to be better for the jittery text issue. I hope I'm not speaking too soon here.
The typing box for replying also works much better than Firefox.
The top 2 bars bouncing up and down is still present and an annoyance but overall this may be my answer.
Much appreciation for all the help!
