Forum Update - Everyone Please Read [UPDATED Apr 13, 2018]

Workaround for Replying to Threads with Long Original Posts.

1) Zoom browser view out (until the "reply" button and the top of the first post are both visible).

2) Reply to the original post.

Edit: Mark's workaround is better.

Dear Community,

So, the NodeBB folks finally came up with a patch that at least solves the problem where you can't reply unless you're at the top of the forum list. This works for me on multiple browsers.

But what about people on with phones? Is the toolbar appearing in the right place now and working for you?

@DusX @mc_monte @Woland please report back.

Best Wishes,
Mark

Hi,

I can report that the navigation elements still do not function at all on iOS Safari, iPhone 8. But the reply function is working well.

@mark,

Hi,

I have switched to an iPad using iOS, safari, and all navigation options appear to function as expected. Therefore, the dysfunctional interface occurs for me only with the smaller screen layout. The forum CSS styles responsive to display ratios might need the parameters for smartphones to be further adjusted and tested.

Look forward to seeing this resolved.

Best wishes

@ril

Perhaps try refreshing the page and make another attempt? Failing that, could you please try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox) and see what happens?

I checked your account in the Admin panel and it doesn't look like there is any reason you shouldn't be able to post.

Best wishes,

Woland

Hello Michel ! the last weeks I have not been able to post. Yesterday I went back to configure my forum user and I could make a post. Then I tried to do another one but in Spanish and I could not. Obviously something does not work well for me.

I can't seem to add files.

@dusx

Attempting to add a file.

Here's a picture.

That works.

But I can't add a .zip or a .izz file.

Will go check this.

Best,
Mark

OK, the file upload is a problem. It's yet another bug in the new version. :-(

I've alerted the NodeBB folks in this bug report.

I'm sorry to everyone for the inconvenience of all this.

Best Wishes,
Mark

I have managed to add files - it is just where it suggests 'name (optional)' in the upload selection window, actually the name is required as the file link is referenced to it.

Yes. I got it working by highlighting some text and then adding the file. It makes the text the link. (Don't need to add the name.)
