They are slightly different. "Recent" shows all the recent posts; "New" shows only unread posts.This is the least big deal of all the deals but on mobile (not the app) both "recent posts" and "new posts" are in the nav bar, but only once you've logged in. Obviously it's meaningless but it's a thing I noticed so I here I am.
Much belated thanks, Nip! I've been busy catching up on all the Other Crap@MattysDaddy you are all set
Old forum did that too. Your idea is better but harder to implement. I've been thinking about it for a couple days and it might be possible but it's not trivial.When I refresh a page, I would like to see the last post I read. Instead I am moved back to the first post I read when I visited the thread. Can we change that?
Well, that's interesting. I didn't know that. Either way though, and not that I care, it's different than full browser mode which has only "recent" on the persistent nav bar (though both are under the "forums" dropdown.They are slightly different. "Recent" shows all the recent posts; "New" shows only unread posts.
Yeah, no biggie. As long as you know about it, you re the best judge of what's feasible and cost effective to do.Old forum did that too. Your idea is better but harder to implement. I've been thinking about it for a couple days and it might be possible but it's not trivial.
Thanks Nip! And thank you guys both for all your work on this, the new site looks excellent.@Eastchop with a lambchop. And fixed
Shouldn't be happening.I'm not sure if it's already on the list, I haven't seen it yet, but are we going to have a persistent cookie to keep people logged in? I'm getting logged out across all devices on a regular basis. I'm assuming it's across the board.
50 character limit on Forum titles. We can hack them to be longer but it'll probably break with each update--thoughts on a shorter variant?I hadn't noticed until today that the forum title for Gazza is cutoff mid-parenthetical.
Breakfast with Gazza (aka The Place For Sachmoneio
I figured this one out.edit 4: missing the option to "Strike-Through" the font when typing.
Cleared cookies on all devices and is working great now. Thank you!Shouldn't be happening.
1. Are you checking the keep me logged in box?
2. Try clearing your cookies in case a remnant from the old board is interfering.
1. Go into a forum (e.g. "The GM Time Machine" forum).At one point there was the option to mark specific forums as all read. Now on the home page (but not individual forums), you can mark all forums as read, but I don't see an option to all-read the individual forums. Am I just missing it?
That's it. Thanks.1. Go into a forum (e.g. "The GM Time Machine" forum).
2. From the "Forums" tab on the nav bar (top left, beneath the SOSH logo), select "Mark Forums Read".
Me too, totally should have been a gerbil.... But I'm pretty slow, so I'm sure that was the joke.....I got a hamster. It made me sad.
I'm guessing this is far too much work, but what about creating a seperate Square-type account where people can donate to and then you/the Dopes just assign member titles when submitted?We are working on a new subscriber model and just going to test the shit out of it first.
Warning: WHATEVER WE PICK IS GOING TO HAVE SHITTY CONSEQUENCES. Like folks may need to manually cancel their old PayPal stuff. I don't *think* they will have to because the old board had a gateway that approved the reoccurring charges, but I DEFINITELY could be wrong. The hard thing is I will not know until it happens.
I don't know if this has been covered, but what I saw in the thread I started was a "Thread Tools" button on the right just above the first post. When I clicked on it, I had an option to change the title, as well as add a poll. Hope this answers some questions on how to change the thread title.From the forum page, over to the right of the title is an edit button (just to the left of Replies: and Views). Depending on your privs and whether you started the thread, that allows you to edit the title and maybe hide/close/sticky the topic.
That works too, cool. I didn't know non-mods got the "Thread Tools" dropdown.I don't know if this has been covered, but what I saw in the thread I started was a "Thread Tools" button on the right just above the first post. When I clicked on it, I had an option to change the title, as well as add a poll. Hope this answers some questions on how to change the thread title.
That is effectively what we are working towards, but with some level of automationI'm guessing this is far too much work, but what about creating a seperate Square-type account where people can donate to and then you/the Dopes just assign member titles when submitted?
Automated is def better but man PayPal seemed to cause you a massive headache. I will say the system that replaced Paypal (I forget its name) was very easy to use for me.
We are working on a new subscriber model and just going to test the shit out of it first.I think I'm caught up on this entire thread now, and I'm wondering if you can universally clarify the status of people like me who a) had access to Other Crap before the upgrade, b) no longer have that access after the upgrade, and c) weren't/aren't paying members (yet):
1. Is it possible for me to become a paid member immediately and restore that access?
1a. If yes, what's the best way to go about doing that?
1b. If no, is there a timetable for when it might be possible to do so (or would that be that dependent upon other upgrades and factors beyond your current control)?
2. If I don't (or can't) become a paid member, is the plan for me to eventually be able to view Other Crap at some point in the future, or is SoSH fully moving to a paid-only model for Other Crap?
No malice intended in any of these questions - just trying to figure out what the plan is. Thanks!
One of the Dopes who hangs out there add the parenthetical as a jab at Sachmoney a few years ago and it never got changed back. It probably makes sense to just get rid of it and use the original Breakfast With Gazza.50 character limit on Forum titles. We can hack them to be longer but it'll probably break with each update--thoughts on a shorter variant?
I was thinking the same but also hadn't paid. I was even planning to donate but talk is meaningless and I had not.I would love my access back as well, and like others I'm more then willing to pay again once that is an option. With the crazy stuff going on in Paris normally SOSH would be one of the first places I turn to for analysis.
