About every 3rd or 4th post I try to make the screen just 'freezes' and that post is lost. 

Also can't find the Socceroos thread. Appreciate Nik's hard yakka sorting out the Forum.
I've had something similar occur twice where the screen freezes after you click Post reply.

Also I think the thread named Make Auckland Great Again or similarly hasn't come back

Ok, so turned out there was ALOT of threads that were hidden. Have gone through all the categories, first couple of pages and checked the threads. Unhiding a whole lot. It does mean the active threads is a bit strange at the moment but at least they should all be back now. Let me know if you think anything else is still missing.

Have noticed that and passed onto Nik already, thanks.

The posting and screen refreshing issue (losing the post) I've had too. Have passed on as well.

If you click the yellow button saying "Unread" it should take you to the last unread posts. If you click the "Latest post" button though (the users name), it'll take you to the last one in the thread instead.

When I am on a specific threat eg Wellington Phoenix men I can click the unread for the specific one like the game day thread but then it seems to also make the unread button gone for something like Phoenix kit it doesn't take me to latest post and I'm needing to click last page and scroll to where I was last up to. Sorry that doesn't make much sense. I can only press unread button once even if there is more than one thread I need to catch up on 
Sorry, not fully understanding what the issue is here?

I think I know what you're talking about. Just switched to reading the forum in Firefox with Unlock on and the unread button has disappeared for me

Great refresh, well done, one thing i noted, is that there seems to be nowhere to click to go back to 'Active' when you've been in 'active' and clicked one of the threads

Love the 2 new buttons at the bottom of the page. They will make a hell of a lot of difference for the positive. Can you add one or two more? along the bottom or top. "Page Read" or "All pages read" that eliminates having to visit each thread to make them "read" and keeps it clean to see "new" threads/messages? Does that make sense?? Brilliant effort whoever is doing this, especially todays work on it.

So this is all Nik, Dale and I have just been feeding back to him any issues or suggestions. Latest update should have
  • Let users see who endorsed the post
  • View counter now working
  • Reply over on the right of the buttons for mobile
  • Buttons after the reply box to take you back to category or active
There is also some other fixes for the logging out issue, post reply sometimes getting stuck and having to refresh, losing the post and the PM issue. I haven't had a chance to test them and likely won't know if fixed worked out, without some use. So if you have any issues or find anything else, then please post here.

I just got a message saying ‘Change rejected’ and yellow card when I went to open the site. Not sure if that implies anything sinister?

Just opening the forums? Into what url? Was it from a bookmark? 
What did you do after you got the message as you're posting now.

Oh gosh. Good questions. Struggling to remember.
Think I reloaded (?)the page after getting the message. 
I might have searched and gone to a previous post, rather than the main page from a new tab as I usually would.

It’s fine as long as you don’t get a second yellow.

Would it be possible to add a feature to rezise images, or to make it so the signature get's condensed into a scroll box if the content is too large like on the old old version of the site? Or maybe have an enlarge button to open up the full size?

I wanna be able to show off my pixel kits in my signature without making a my post a full page experience (like it will be once I post this)

No reports or issues with external access. Might have just been a slow day for people being on or away with Easter.

I think that might be a bit much, I can ask but really signatures typically are only suppose to be short messages.

Loving the new site feel and look. Not sure if this has been asked already but would it be possible to have a "return to active" button at the bottom of the thread page? It would be much easier than scrolling back to the top to use it, or going back to the forum page via the three lines.

That is already there if you scroll past the reply comment box

Duh I'm blind! Thank you - I was looking for a yellow button like the other active topic buttons.

I don’t know if anyone else has this issue, but it can take a long time to post a comment. Perhaps related to double post issues? 

Edit- this one was fine! Has happened in game day threads and others.

Hi, something I've noticed the last week or so is that when I open the main forum page and scroll down, my entire browser window (Chrome, including favourites bar and address bar) glitches out for a few seconds before returning to normal. The entire screen will glitch between a blank white and black/grey screen (light mode and night mode colours).

It'll usually happen once a day; usually the first time I open the forum for the day. Has anyone else had something similar happen? I've only had it happen on this site too, since the upgrade.

Cheers!

Not sure if it is a bug or on purpose, but instead of seeing "marquee" "legend" " wee Nix" "starting xi" under the username, I'm seeing an email address.  Which could be problematic and not good if there are unscrupulous people lurking on the forums.

I’m not seeing that on my phone (will have to wait until tonight to try from the laptop), so maybe it’s browser-dependent? Even so, email addresses shouldn’t be making it as far as the browser so definitely a serious issue.

On a happier note I just got the dreaded 504 Gateway Timeout while posting, but after the page refreshed back to where I was editing it detected the post had made it to the server and stopped me from double-posting. Nicely done!

It seems to be affecting a few user accounts, I think I've only seen it on three of them so far. Also it displays in both mobile and desktop for those users.

Feedback from Nik is that's likely a browser or system issue as the site can’t affect anything outside the chrome container (so shouldn't be affecting favourites or address bar too)

Hi guys. Good work on the new site.
It's generally working well for me.
However, one issue I've had even before the new site update is that when I go to post something and click on the "Link" tab, I'm unable to paste the link into the space that opens up. Nothing happens.
This is using Chrome on my laptop.
It may be related to me using a new laptop.
I never had this issue in the past.
Is there some adjustment I need to make in my laptop settings?
Excuse my ignorance in such matters.

I got your PMs so thought this had been fixed? Have you clicked on profile and seen if PM reply is there? 
I have raised the issue that the notification that you have a new PM wasn't displaying for me.
