Thanks. Not sure what is causing that.

In Chrome, I cannot reply to threads anymore.  The box where you type the response does not "pop open" when I click on it.  This started maybe 2 days ago.  On IE it works just fine.  I turned off my adblocker on Chrome and it persisted.

Anyone else experience this?

Nope, working fine on Chrome.

Did you try closing Chrome and relaunching?

 

[The Z Machine]

Yup.  Maybe I'll restart computer next.

Seriously though, also try clearing your cache.   Settings-> Advanced, under Clear Browsing Data.

This is now happening to me after getting a new phone - it never happened previously.

Chrome on the phone (Samsung Note 8)

Chrome on the desktop (Windows 10)

Did anyone figure out what was needed to fix the sign in, signed out shuffle?

This is happening on my Fire8 tablet. Using their Silk Browser. Tried clearing saved passwordsbut it still is happening. It is a minor annoyance, but was wondering if anybody has this problem and any fixes.

Is there a dark theme in anything? That would be perfect.

Also why is there a button that's so easy to press without a 2nd opportunity "are you sure?" to mark the entire forum as read? I just hit it. This sucks...

That would be pretty dope.  I'd gladly front the money for it.  I know FBG staff keeps busy with a number of more pressing things but a dark theme would be a real awesome and welcome addition.  I was looking at a little customization page on the Invision site, I think it'd be fairly easy to add a real simple white font on black/gray theme.

Appears so as I just tried that route as well and used it sometimes as it saved a few clicks.  

Looks like footballguys.net is gone for good.

Heh. I figured out why it keeps kicking me off. When you change between three different devices, it will bump you off

Who's a guy gotta hug to get a dark theme around here, respectfully?  I'll pay!

Could one of the board wizards take a look at something like this?  Thank you.

Sorry but I don't think that can happen for us anytime soon.

Interesting the new "Like" feature having multiple options, but the images seem to be broken.

I thought that was some sort of new built-in Onslaught feature.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I think the confused button winked at me.

I know this isn't popular but we'll still be without the ability to post images here.

There’s actually a thread here somewhere where I suggest this feature and quickly find out it wasn’t very popular. ?

I think he meant that the images associated with the "Like" feature were displaying as broken links.  At least that's what I was seeing yesterday.  Seems OK this morning though.

Ah. I see. My mistake.

i like it joehan and i salute you and your team for another sucess take that to the bank bromigo 

 

[Snorkelson]

I don’t know if this is the proper feedback area but one thing I miss is seeing the total posts from a poster, rather than just how many likes or whatever the green number refers to. I know alias accounts have been mentioned a lot in various threads, and that the corresponding ips seem to be unique, but all that means is they travel or are at various different ips, but I’m certainly a layperson in this field, so I could be wrong. Total posts vs likes vs acct creation date make it easier to determine the credibility of a source, whether it’s the poly forum or in the shark pool- I want to know if the take I’m reading is by someone who has been posting for some time or some “lonestar” that just showed up and has lots of opinions. Or if someone with no real profile that’s been around since 2008 suddenly starts stirring the pot with their 58th post.

eta I’m usually browsing on iPhone.

 

[SWC]

one funny thing with the new logos is that the fbg moderator has a big f for a logo so you can be like that big f gave me a warning point and that my friends is one to grow on take that to the bank brochacho 

 

[IC FBGCav]

Seems like the best upgrade so far.

 

[IC FBGCav]

Hell of a low bar. 

True dat.  But add this makes up for it.

Thanks. I like the new stuff too.

Search function seems to work very quickly now

 

[ren hoek]

Oh my god.  That little ‘x’ hanging over smileys to remove reactions.  That’s going to drive me nuts.  Like a popup or clutter on a webpage.  I’m triggered

if you get mad about the letter x you would have made a very crappy pirate that is all i am sayin brohan take that to the bank 

 

[skol asylum]

Am I the only one that wished mobile font size was a little bigger? Even if it was the size that shows when you compose your message, that would be great compared to the tiny font of posted messages. Is there any board setting there that can be tweaked? Would make the board SO much more readable.

 

[skol asylum]

Example of what I mean

 

[skol asylum]

Just noticed there is a dark theme option for mobile now. Bottom of the page. @ren hoek

Now just need that larger font. 

 

[El Floppo]

so unless I choose a favorite team, I'm 50% complete with my profile?

nice work on the search engine, which is going a LOT faster, but I feel a little sad being called 50% INCOMPLETE every time I open the forum.

Nm... :Bag:

pretty easy fix..."dismiss"

 

[NotSmart]

Out of curiosity, why in the below post do I see the below msg in the poll section at the top?... first time I had opened the thread:

https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/topic/771969-scary-movie-madness-finals/?tab=comments#comment-21476409

You do not have permission to vote in this poll, or see the poll results.

 

[NotSmart]

New software allows you to close a poll on a specific date, "voting open through Thursday only", for example 

Thanks, that explains that mystery.

Weird that it won't let you at least view the results though.

 

[cosjobs]

This pop-up is the greatest addition to the board since  GMs thread about nothing.

Thank you a million times.

?
Are you sure you want to mark this forum as read?

I just tested it on your say-so... I'm glad you were telling the truth lol.

 

[grateful zed]

did we get more threads added to page 1 recently?

 

[Insein]

Is it me or is the board loading things slower over the last week?

 

[grateful zed]

Yeah, like a week or two ago we got the old limit of 50 back 

progress. 

 

[DJackson10]

I know this isn't popular but we'll still be without the ability to post images here. 

any reasoning behind this besides a few I could guess maybe? Tech issue with it or something else? 

 

[DJackson10]

Maybe not a huge problem but I've noticed when you have someone on ignore it says they are but the posters image and post still pop up sometimes even if I have everything about them ignored? Is that a bug or did I do something wrong? 

 

[Insein]

Just their preference. To keep things clean.

I figured it was that.

Anyone else having problems with the forum using a Chrome browser?  

I cannot reply to anything in Chrome.

 

[grateful zed]

no mention of the new emoji?
