Quote and Macros button

ShawnC13 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 16:08:16 GMT

These features are still here with the recent update just not as prominent. Macros are in the highlighted area and the 3 dots ... will expand the menu

The highlighted " marks will quote the post you are replying to.

@ShawnC13 Hmmm, strange, I clicked 3 dots, but still have no macros button and " button in the extended menu.

I'm on a Samsung tablet, using Chrome and neither of them shows up for me. What platform and device are you using? Thanks.

@gblackma try desktop mode. I know the forum lacks some functionality on mobiles

@ShawnC13 I also noticed that spelling mistakes are now underlined :cathappy:

@mimmo

I am using Windows 10 Opera browser which has built-in spell checker which let me know my error as I type. The previous forum editor somehow disabled the browser spell checker. Now, I correct my spelling as it tells me..

@popping that's why I mentioned it. spelling mistake identification before the update were disabled and now they are not.

Cool @ShawnC13 , thanks for the heads up. Not really a fan of the new setup, but they'll probably change/improve it over time.

This stuff has been discussed in at least two other threads, and mostly this one: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Discussions/Community-Technical-Issues/m-p/513446#M108809

Personally, I'm using Win7, with up-to-date Firefox & Chrome, and as mentioned in that other thread, the behaviour isn't the same on both. That, and I don't get any "Macros" button showing up.

@CannonFodder Ok I'm trying the desktop version but geez could the typeface get any smaller? So let's post and edit...

.......and still no macros or three dots to expand the toolbar. Getting out of the desktop version it's too teeny tiny....

......but it still shows up for a split second to taunt you.....nice. One of these days I'll get to give feedback on these changes and oh boy the longer it takes to implement it the more time I'll have to take notes....in my notebook....with lined pages and plastic tabs!

The three dots (<ahem> vertical ellipsis) does appear momentarily while the page loads - like a pre-loaded cache element, except I cleaned all cache - then it vanishes once the full pagescript starts running.

By "desktop version", are you referring to firing up your laptop, and using that, or using the desktop version of the site on your tablet? If you mean the latter, ISTR someone else mentioned that it doesn't work.

And on this topic, the quote button showed up for me, pretty much all day on Sat., not at all on Sun., unless I hit the 3 dots to edit my post, and then just now, it shows up fine again, without having to edit the post to get it to appear. Either someone is tinkering behind the scenes, or this thing is playing "hide & seek" again.

@CannonFodder I think the worst part is the little flash show....im here but you can't touch me! A tawdry little peep show...but there's no slot to put the quarters.

Win7 (yeah yeah), Chrome (meh), no quote button.

EDIT - on a laptop

EDIT 2 - ok, when EDITING the quote marks show up!

Re: Quote and Macros button

CannonFodder — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 19:45:01 GMT

@GregR7 Yup, it's been working that way for two days now, and one of the PM folks said they recently did some updating and Khoros ALSO did some updating, so the PM person(THINK it was Dave?) was talking about MAYBE reverting back to before the PM initiated update, to see if the issue started due to the PM update, or the Khoros update. Would be nice to get some clarification on this, but I guess we'll just have to muddle along, 'til such time as SOMEONE gets it fixed..... 😕

Using Chrome (i.e. PM's recommendation):

Quote available using incognito mode
Quote only available when editing a reply using normal mode
PM's emojis' drop down list available but non-functional

Gotta love quirks if you're active on this forum. 😏

Is that from your experimentation, and is it over the course of a few days?

I ask, because I use Firefox almost exclusively, and it's off & on so much it's dizzying, i.e. it can be working for hours, and then when I log in the next time, it only works when using the Edit function. It's also been on & off on a daily basis, i.e. yesterday it only worked while editing, but today, so far, it's been working as it should. This is always in normal mode..... guess I should try tinkering with Private mode a bit more often.
