Forum issues

JabbaTheMutt

There’s a forum where I can presumably ask questions and get good answers. I searched it for similar issues but to no avail. I’ll start a thread after I create yet another logon. :smdh Happening after dinner or even tomorrow.

Jabba the best work around to get to the most recent post is in the Orange header atop rbe page when you click on a thread. Up and down arrows- it gives you option to go to first post of the thread or the now post of the thread.
I can’t offer much help as I haven’t gotten too far with my site (this same platform). I’m mostly web tools stupid as most of my brains right now are being used to dominate three FF leagues I’m in.

DonnyUv2 I second this. I think it ties into the quirky refresh this platform has.

If you go to the admin panel and click on Dashboard, there is a tool pull down menu on the right. The only option I see is a “clear cache” tool. It might help your refresh issue.

I haven’t tried the “purge” option on the various “feature” pages.

FTR - now every time I open a thread it takes me to most recent post.

I decided to try disabling things and I kept a log so that it would be easier to roll things back, I disabled the embed function and also the scroll function. I suspect that it was the latter that made the difference.

Now, cross our fingers that I didn’t break anything.

JabbaTheMutt It seems to be working. It’s taking me to the latest posts I haven’t seen.

I think you did it Jabba, seems to be working.

Appreciate the sentiment. Sincerely

I started going down the options alphabetically. I didn’t think that the embed option would fix it but after reading its description, I didn’t think that we needed it. Time will tell.

I recall enabling the scroll function a while ago. Seemed like something we would want. :shrug

JabbaTheMutt and here I thought it was magic…

I turned off “hot discussions”. Seemed superfluous since the hot items are typically at the top of the front page and I thought that it cluttered up the view. Let me know your thoughts.

Board is looking good, easy to navigate, all the bells and whistles are actually efficient.
Nice work, showing your IT chops Jabba.
Gonna call you when I need beekeeping advice.

Excellent looking forum. Someday we’ll replace you with AI but for now and through the holidays you’ve got a job.

The wrench by your name is well earned. Like a war metal. While the rest of us slept you were on the creeper tightening bolts and stuff. The George Washington of the forum.

Not me Buck, Jabba did all the heavy lifting, he’s the architect.
I’m more like the Night Watchman, checking the security cameras once in a while when I wake up from napping.
