Pfrsantos little corner of complaints

[root]

Signature area should be smaller now. I can go a bit smaller if need be.

@root Is it possible to move the Discard - Submit buttons to the bottom of the reply window ?

[root]

Testing reply bar at the bottom of the page

[Defender]

I am not seeing anything floating on mobile.

Can you be more specific, and possibly share a screenshot or two?

That would be very helpful.

[SteveC]

@Defender

The blue bar with the post numbers. On the desktop the number of the post is in the header.

[root]

Okay, I liked that, but if it's a pain I'll see if I can remove it too.

[Defender]

The bar should be gone now. I don't see it on my phone.

[SteveC]

@Defender

Not really a pain, I just thought it was a bit distracting. Any way to put the post number in the header like on the desktop version ?

Having the submit button at the bottom is a good improvement

[SteveC]

Looking at our current mobile I guess we don't have post numbers either.

One thing I've noticed that we are missing here is when we are replying it would be good to be able to scroll up to look at the previous posts. We are able to do that on the current forum. This is handy if you need to review what you are responding to, also allows you to add post quotes.

@SteveC that is definitely on the list of things to do.

Right now I am working on a module for translating BBCode as the only pre-built one is 11 years old.

I'm not using an 11 year old plugin.

Insert Thwack smiley here.

And it's a bit more complicated than I'd intended, but it's twenty years of forum posts and it's worth the effort.

When/if I manage to get anywhere with that I'll look at adding the posts to the reply screen- we definitely need that.

[Defender]

Okay, that's turning out to be a bigger job than I should start halfway through the day.

I'll tackle that tomorrow and see if I can get the posts to show up first

[SteveC]

@Defender

Thanks for all your hard work. I hope I'm helping with suggestions and not adding more grief to the process.

[Defender]

@SteveC

It's not grief- it's a shitload more work than I thought it was, and it makes me appreciate Micah more than ever, but it's worth every minute I'm spending on it.

I really don't want this software change to kill the forum, and every different detail has the potential to do that. This place has to give as close to the experience of SMF as possible- sometimes I'm a bit annoyed at your comments (I liked the other colors :insert Thwack smiley here:) but you are absolutely right, and I'll get over being annoyed!

Keep up the great work- I really do appreciate it, even if I grumble about it from time to time. And, even if I don't, I can't argue with making the forum better- the members deserve it.

:insert thumbs up smiley here:

[SteveC]

@Defender Hang in there, you're doing a great job !

[root]

Page numbers added instead of one long thread with 1,000 replies.

Currently limited to 20 posts per page instead of 25 on SMF. I feel like that's good enough (for now at least) but it's easy to change is anyone gets upset at missing five posts per page.

[Defender]

Also need to remove the @xxxxx again when someone clicks Reply.

[Defender]

Message history is showing on desktop but I don't see it on mobile.

Fuck

[root]

Yup, definitely see it on desktop.

Double fuck.
