Forum Issues


Recommended Posts

I think the post tools have disappeared for links, emoticons, images etc. Anyone else missing them?

 

Edit - Just checked on the laptop and they're there, it's when I view the desktop theme on my mobile they're missing. They have probably been missing all the time I've just not noticed!

Trawling through loads of code just to change or add a few words is mind-numbing but needs must if we want a functional forum. It seems a lot quicker so far, hopefully it stays that way.

Well done Rich.

 

Its working much better than it was, and even grumpy ol' MS Edge will now log on.

 

Top job

That's good to know :) I don't have windows so can only test things out on my Mac's.

The "Not Secure"/crossed through padlock type stuff is a lot of the static embedded stuff like images/icons/smilies etc.

 

This will need sorting in next few weeks, as Chrome will start really highlighting it to users very soon, and you can bet Firefox, Microsoft and Apple will follow suit soon.

 

This has the potential to scare off many users, especiall non established users, perhaps those needing help the most - those in distress because their tyres are wearing unevenly or the vehicle isn't handling consistently. 

 

 

We have the same issues on https://www.omegaowners.com- our "own" stuff (apart from guides - the images there still need securing - is pretty nailed now, but a lot of user content fed from users' own hosting solutions aren't.  So I feel your pain RIch.

My stupid MacBook - just shy of £3k 2017 vintage MacBook Pro that work insisted on giving me, despite the fact it doesn't really work in our company so I still use my Windows one 99.99% of the time - only gets used about twice a year...    …I take it on holiday as its lighter than my personal Windows laptop :)

I think I have sorted most of the issues now so nearly everything should be showing secure.

 

I had a look at your forum and the emoticons are not shown over https so that's giving me a not fully secure message. Once you've changed to https shouldn't those load from that automatically unless the full length URL is used and that needs changing? I had that with the country flags, the URL was in the admin settings as http so it made the page look insecure. Once I changed it the page was secure.

All of them via the toolbar above, ah they work now but give javascriptvoid('smiley')  :whistle:  in the bottom left of screen in the toolbar. When you click on the toolbar above, but they still show below ...........

I've just used a Windows 10 laptop and chrome. It's when you hover over the emoticon it shows the message but they still work ok. I'll leave that as it'll probably be sorted in the upgrade.

I've noticed the forum is running a little slow today. There is no need to hit the post button twice, just leave it for 10-20 seconds and it'll submit. I'll have to keep an eye on it, hopefully it won't happen too often.
