There is no easy way to post pictures from your phone, unless someone can explain it to me.

Like Moose posted before, make tagging other people on the forum available for notification, ex. @kwmatt

MrCaspan

Also PF members if you like a suggestion that someone posts like the post so we can concentrate on more wanted features first. Some might be simple some might require work!

Will tapatalk work again now? If not, please add that option as well.

That one probably went away because it costs money for the site to give access.

How do we feel about removing the awards system since we don't use them any more? Would anyone be really apposed that that?

moose

I think comp would be disappointed

Fyi the view on desktop link at the bottom seems to be disabled.

Makes no difference to me, we could always re-implement it if we got back into that again. Don't think we have used it in several years since we used to have forum tournaments.

Can you explain more moose? What exactly are you seeing and are you on mobile when you see it?

MrCaspan

I just switched to the mobile version of the site and then went back to desktop version with no issues personally. What issues are you seeing?

Posting here for testing

Yeah after testing from desktop it works fine going back and forth but on my mobile device it does nothing just seems to refresh the page. Ill investigate further!

You mean remove my two trophies? What I am on the internet for if I can't get trophies and internet points?

Can you check it now Moose? I believe it should be fixed now. I can finally see the mobile version of the site on my mobile as well after the upgrade

moose

Yeah it goes to desktop view now but it takes you to the home page instead of leaving you ITT

Is it just me, or is it difficult to tell which folders have new posts. It use to be highlighted in red, it now appears to be a touch darker. I'm on my phone, is it just me?

I'll double check the old icons to the new ones. Maybe the old forum had replaced the default one's. It seems the reply buttons are hard to see also..

woog..... you are 100% correct. I can’t see the difference either and it was quite helpful.

MrCaspan

Seems the update replaced the icons with a default set of icons. I have put the old icons back into place. Should be a red or gray dot now and I agree much easier to tell if read or not. Also just a suggestion that I use, I click on the "New Posts" at the top of the page and it shows me all unread posts on one page. I go through read them all and then next visit to the site do the same thing.. Just another way to do the same thing.

Also can anyone else use the like or dislike buttons? Seems like you can click them but nothing happens. Might have to check to see if there is an upgrade for this plugin
