Random issues on forum (no Like/Quote/Reply/photos) - is it just me?
Hi - Just noticed that preview is not enabled for listing in the Classifieds but shows up on all the other threads - not sure if this is deliberate or just me. I’m also have problems uploading an avatar image - the ‘Save Changes’ wheel just keeps on turning….. Is there a specific size and format for these - I’ve tried at 100X100 .jpg and .png but still no luck.
Just noticed the ‘editing’ function has disappeared from my recent post.

Pompeyexile Just noticed the ‘editing’ function has disappeared from my recent post.
For technical reasons (the other 2 options simply didn’t work at all and gave admin editing rights). I have had to choose the 10 minut edit time option, which does work correctly.
What’s mind boggling is that there are 3 options and the only time based one is 10 minutes…that’s it. To my mind, if you were going to have a fixed time editing option (non-configurable) and for it to be the only timed editing option…..you would make it 24 hours…not 10 minutes!
Fortunately this is fixed in the Flarum 1.2 upgrade coming tomorrow…where we may be a down for a lot of the day. I suspect there may be the faint sound of cheers from certain quarters…until we pop back up again 🤣
I['m sorta hoping Freeflarum put an upgrade message up rather than just a 404

I liked the option to Edit without a time limit. I understand that it can create problems and that some might take advantage so the bottom line is we can’t have it, but for me personally that’s a shame.

Doram I liked the option to Edit without a time limit. I understand that it can create problems and that some might take advantage so the bottom line is we can’t have it, but for me personally that’s a shame.
The only problem is it allows delete without time limit (which I can)….If the time becomes configurable, then I would like to set a few days. The other option was until next post….
I’ll be honest I could set it with no time limit, it would mean that someone could, for whatever reason delete all their posts I suppose..but it doesn’t really matter if they want to do that I guess. It’s not like I am worried about the monetary value of the forum…would just be a shame if the information became really disjointed. I’ll set it back to unlimited until we see what the update brings.
I have not been able to upload a photo avatar. It just does not work.

JahLaza Well it wasn’t down to the upgrade fixing it?…I suspect they tried upgrading the forums and had problems. It was down for a while this morning and when it came back up, I checked the version number and were still on 1.1.1
I could be wrong, I just checked and we are now on Flarum version 1.2…hopefully loads of bugs have been squashed.
Everything seems to be working better for me

I have noticed since the upgrade to 1.2, the forum is running a lot faster….more snappy!
Avatar issue now resolved as well..
I still get the loss of the reply buttons etc. But by and large working well!
Nope. I can’t tell completely, but if I get an email notifying me of a post, and click there to bring it up in the browser, no quote reply buttons. I will check and see if they appear when I just go straight to the post.
DavecUK OK, notice on this post your reply handle shows up. I went into the post from a fresh browser window and navigated to the post. I think it doesn’t work either when I go to the notification bell at the top of the browser window and find the post that way. So it requires a fresh browser window and navigation to the post that way I think. Well, waddya want for free?? The thing works really well frankly. I like it!

I always use my iPhone and do not open a tab or a new window. I open a thread and when done, prefer hitting the home button. A lot of times, this home button won’t be there. When the home button disappears, the back button or a refresh won’t take me to the home page. I will have to kill the browser and start all over again.
Because of the above issues — mainly disappearing home page or the menu at the bottom of my iPhone screen— the like, reply and hence @user name would have also disappeared.
Another strange thing is it would also time out (logged out) and we end up losing what we type. This just happened as I type.
Lol. It is now saying I am typing too fast for it to cope. 🤣
Killing the browser, clearing the cache and starting all over again helps. It is not convenient but that’s a work around at least for me.
These are not a one-off but occurs regularly. I do think they need to investigate this. Thx
