Board Upgrade Tips - FAQ in first post (3 Viewers)

Maybe if you somehow tie the quote box issue in with Daily Sports...FBG's will then address it.

They'll address it multiple times daily...involving multiple emails to drum up grass roots support to get it done...otherwise, I guess it's not getting fixed and apparently won't even be responding about it.

 
When I scroll on mobile, I notice the flag next to the date on some posts sometimes turns blue.

Am I reporting posts by flagging them?

 
That happens to me as well. I assume it's not doing anything as you have to click on the flag again for a pop-up to appear and report the post from there. 

 
Not like it'll get resolved but thought I'd bring it up just for confirmation...

Is anyone else seeing the..."saving" button when they post?

I'll post something.  Then want to post something else in the same thread...but when I go to hit the button...it just says "saving" and won't let me post until I give up and shut the site down out of pure unmitigated anger.

Yes....happens quite often when I post and then want to edit that post quickly.....can't do it until I leave site and come back....oh well......

 
Minor annoyance. If you scroll to the bottom of an activity stream and click load more activity, it basically brings up a "page2" of choices. So if you click to goto a thread from that page and then hit back to go back to your stream, you're stuck on page 2. It no longer shows the most recent choices for that stream until you go through the menu again to get to it. 

 
Sometimes when I try to quote multiple postings, I get an odd set of issues.

First when I get the set of postings in the reply section, if I do the double-enter to start my own posting, I am unable to to get there. The cursor just stays in the last quoted posting. A simple fix to this I found is to reload the page. Usually after this all is well. Sometimes (not sure how frequently, I'll have to keep better track.) after the reload, my typing is reads right to left from the left margin (kinda backwards!) See in this posting from earlier today..

 
Okay, all the older threads say they were started on

_date_last_year_long

That's hysterical, but I can't get into GMTAN for love or money. That's serious business. 

 
Activity streams are now broken...I can't seem to pull up stuff I've posted in but haven't read since last visit.

Same here.. now it gives me stuff posted I posted in over a year ago (Feb 2015).  Also, it's now back to taking 13+ seconds to load.

Last button on the end, the Tx one, removes formatting.

Also when you first paste, there is normally a pop up that you can hit to remove formatting.  Not sure about on mobile on that last one.

 
So I'm trying to post a reply in Shady's newborn thread from my IPad and I'm unable to type anything.  When I click on reply to topic it takes me to a random post in the thread and then does not allow me to type anything.  What am I doing wrong?  Am I just an idiot (don't answer that)?

 
still not a clue where the cursor is going to go when i tab

sometimes to "insert other media", sometimes to "submit reply", sometimes to the top of the page, sometimes to the poll options, sometimes it sends me back a page, sometimes it's like hitting the back button but when i hit forward again everything i typed is gone

:shrug:

 
So many complaints.  I can't believe that whoever installed this message board software finished and said "yeah, that'll do".  What the ####, man

 
The default for quoting needs to be at least 2-3 posts. I know you can work around it but when most people are only quoting a single post it becomes very difficult to follow conversations.

What's even more amazing is in response to all of the complaints...the response has basically been, "Yeah...that'll do."

 
And if I just accidentally clicked the "mark forum as read" button next to the forum title is there any way to undo it? If not,  that's gonna suck for me.

Unfortunately, no. (In time, most threads will become unread again; you just have to wait it out.) We've asked Invision if we can make that button disappear, but there's apparently no way to do that.

 
So where do we currently stand on fixing the problem with removing quoted posts on mobile after you have started a reply? Or am still the only one this happens to where you can highlight the entire thing but there is no actual way to remove the quote you don't want anymore?

How do you cleanly embed and/or quote tweets? Need to take some classes from squisition I guess.

I've never really had a problem. :shrug: I start from the last word of the tweet, then click/copy to the name of the tweeter. Only copy the tweet and person, not the pic and all the other info, that's what seems to cause the weird format issue.

still happens to me. my work-around is to copy the content I was trying to post and then hit F5 to refresh the site. I then paste the content back into the reply box. wala.... I guess.

 
(just had to do my own trick above to post this...)

Text From Old Post Keeps Appearing in Reply Box

Invision meant this as a feature, saving a draft within the browser so you can go to other pages if you want, come back, and continue the post.  Have to manually delete the previous text at least for now.

this is still annoying as hell... especially on the phone, where selecting all to delete isn't as easy as with a mouse.

has there been a fix or work-around? seems like it's happening even with replies that I've actually posted. annoying.

Mr. McKittrick? After careful consideration, sir, I have come to the conclusion that your new board upgrade sucks.

Nope , everything is just fine.

 
The top bar with ("Home...Articles...Community...etc) is shielded by the next bar down  with (Browse...Activity) when you hover over one of the items.

:goodposting:  This is totally messing up my FBG experience. I may stop paying to use this message board if this isn't resolved soon.

happens to me too. headasploed.

I decided to look at the actual content on FBG just now, with the FF season coming up. is there a problem with the site? I'm not getting anything but the FFA to load.
