You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
After 24 hour's of trouble free browsing on Android I have finally got lucky, about 5 times now 🤗
Which phone are you going for then?
What? Isn't the Moto 3g the stw phone of choice? 😱
Given the backward steps so far regarding the forum update i expect the phone to be
i've scrolled the last few pages and cant see anyone else having the same issue, when I scroll down a thread using mouses click wheel, if i scroll back up adverts or article appear covering the screen, they go if i start to scroll down the page.
Also, when I scroll to towards the bottom of the thread and clear the last thread, the page jumps back to the top of the thread. This doesnt happen if I scroll the page via page up or down.
it’s far more complicated than you imagine.
Are you sure? I can imagine some really complicated stuff. 🙂
Why isn't this thread a sticky?

Same here, the digital twin proposal I was working on looking at combining 20 odd bespoke systems into a real time decision making system with learning and prediction was complicated
Why isn’t this thread a sticky?
Why isn’t this thread a sticky?
Because it doesn't need to be. There's already a sticky thread 'our forum' where we receive timely updates to keep us informed about the progress being made by the forum...

What the thread that hasn't been updated in 2 weeks? Those timely updates...
Yes, hooli, that's the one.
They'll unsticky that soon, as it's not getting enough use. 😏
Is it just me or are a lot of the back issues not available for download any more? Was trying to get the issue with a route guide for an upcoming trip and there is no link to down load it.

I'm currently rebuilding the mag archive. Each day there are more issues back in the system but it's taking a while. Which particular issue were you after? I can skip to that one now for you.
Please tell me we'll be getting a "last poster on thread" displayed soon!
I cannot find one single other forum on the web which doesn't have this feature. It's bloody bonkers!
Noo, screw that ^
The posting history where you could just look at one page to see recent activity on threads that you'd participated in.
Or just confirm if it's gone for good with the upgrade..
Please? 🙂
What that one was good to see who the last poster was, good for ignoring trolls.
But yes please put back the page in the style of posts created for replied to, it was actually useful unlike the page of text.

+1. The hover thing...
Pretty please?
Do it do it do it do it.
What's with the weird youtube player when not logged in?
A....n....d...............i.....t..'...s...............s.....l.....o.....w......
Am I right in thinking one cannot see when someone joined the forum now?
i.e Nothing in profile like 'joined xxx'?
Also, did I miss the announcement that the forum was now running off Mark's 3G connection?
Am I right in thinking one cannot see when someone joined the forum now?
Wouldn’t want to put off the journalists, trolls and spammers.
A click is a click. 😉
It seems the forum doesn’t do daylight savings time either
I just noticed that.
...and really sticks a flagpole in exactly where this forum is at from a technical point of view.
I wonder if it is Y2K ready as well?
For some inexplicable reason the Singletrack icon in my bookmarks has faded.

Is this like some Back to the Future thing?
For some inexplicable reason the Singletrack icon in my bookmarks has faded.
Yes I noticed that on my work PC W7 FF59.01
But on my laptop @home W10 FF59.01 its still black?
there is no upside to this new forum, none, zilch, zip, diddly squat, nought. It makes the whole experience of singletrackworld a painful frustrating pain in the proverbial arse!
It’s working fine for me, but it’s obviously frustrating a lot of people, because the place feels so quiet. It’s like there’s been a big (and medium sized) hitter cull. I’d blame the sunshine, but it’s been getting like it over the last few weeks.
please don’t die STW forum 😢
No cull but some hitters have chosen to leave.
...or not log back in/visit again...this is the Internet equivalent of Hotel California...you can never leave, just not log in again...
No cull but some hitters have chosen to leave.
This makes me sad. I hope the place recovers, or they come back. Functionality seems pretty good now.

lol, just make sure you're the author of a thread, paste anything into a text editor first, you are wearing reading glasses and your window isn't too narrow or the text is too big because you can't find your reading glasses

Is this new? Looks like an archive almost
Thought I'd try viewing the forum on my phone and good news is there's no redirects after clicking 10 pages so that's a result!
What isn't good is the advert that pops up below the address bar then stays there while you scroll up and down. Very intrusive and takes up a large chunk of the useable screen. So that's still a no for the mobile version for me.
& I still don't know how to put rolley eyes & devils smiley faces on, as well as faces with sunglasses on & all those others that I had so long ago I can't remember them all.
I wish someone would explain instead of showing off by putting a load of them on.
*as surely as shit is shit that the next predictable poster will*
You need a device with a smart keyboard that has emoticons.
I’m pretty sure you’ve been told that and your response was you use a laptop.
😕 🤷🏻♂️
Is it not a load of characters mashed together? Like ; - and a closing bracket without spaces between the 3 characters should be a winking face...;-)
I can't remember anyone saying anything to the effect that emojis don't/wouldn't work on a laptop.
But as usual, thanks for your 'help' anyway.
Assuming you're on Win10, you just use the built-in software keyboard. You activate it by pressing the keyboard icon in the Windows taskbar in the lower-right corner.
If you don't see the keyboard...
On a Mac press command+control+space.
without the spaces I think this works

My apologies if it wasn’t you it’s hard to keep to keep track.
No idea which ones will work but it’ll give you an idea.

I don't have a keyboard icon in the taskbar - but having enabled it with a registry hack it now works using WIN + ;
So chuffed as i am that the pop ups and redirects have gone, does everyone with a 'p' get this many ads? This is just me scrolling down this page. Feels like they are pushing for that £1.50!!
I believe there might actually be some post's between the ads, but it's giving me a headache trying to read them 😣
Oops, I meant without a p....

Every forum does that. Haven't you ever interneted before?Just pick a forum at random and join, notice how you will be greeted by a barrage of embedded adverts and (if you're lucky) pop-ups. The whole "pay me to stop spamming you with horribly invasive and annoying ads" forum business model is well established in forum land. You're fortunate that you're even allowed to login in here and read the comments, internets are a finite resource and are hugely expensive, and since this forum is just a tiny cog in a much larger machine I'll warn you that such ungrateful behaviour in future will lead to a severe bollocking from a stealth mod.
Know your place, marketing bot.
What's a 'stealth mod'?
What have they done?
Do you know any of their secret signs?

🕵️🏼♂️ Well that’s just gone weird.
You know, if I were a member of a club where I hated the club, hated the assistants, hated the staff, hated the owners, and yet remained a member, I'd start to question my own sanity.
#Snark
...and if I were a bouncer at the club, but I didn't get paid, had to cover for my boss who does but rarely provides any info to his punters, and enjoyed it so much that about the most positive I could be towards punters' questions was disdainful, I'd probably think my sanity was lapsing too.
#SnarkSnark
As has been said many times, most of the ill will that now permeates has been caused not by the botched upgrade itself, but the complete information vacuum that ensued. For the most part I'd say the STW members are an astonishingly patient customer base, and that's the only reason most of the people are still here. But, if we want to go back to the pub analogy, we all know of once vibrant venues that got done up, a few key regulars got the hump and left, and slowly as the atmosphere left with them, so too did everyone else.

Jimjam - I use another forum that does not have all these intrusive ads. Its off the shelf software and its enthusiast run tho not commercial
I use another forum that does not have all these intrusive ads
The free one I set up doesn't have any ads at all. And it's FREE. Only problem is it has no members 😆
wtf is that all about?
You copied the forum member’s username into the quote.

What question was that?

I guess it's that one though quoting is now a bit ambiguous now you can't (easily) include who posted.

Blimey its almost like a quote button would be useful.

But then I selected the whole post and clicked the Clear formatting button!
What question was that?
About the functionality. Last poster info.
Please tell me we’ll be getting a “last poster on thread” displayed soon!
That one?
No idea is all I can say on that I’m afraid.

FTFY
That one?

We shall await Mark's next appearance, Easter Monday isn't it?
Thanks for your feedback Mike.
Why is the posted x hours ago thing an hour out? Have you forgotten to change the clocks?
The clock is high up on the wall, no one can find the step ladder.
No idea is all I can say on that I’m afraid.
Yeah, that's why I asked the question just after Mark had posted. Thought maybe he would drop in with some useful info.
Forum is shite without it, so it's a reasonable question to ask really. And a reasonable expectation for him to have an answer.
Ho hum.
But then I selected the whole post and clicked the Clear formatting button!
Or how's this for an idea: have a quote button that works with the formatting of the forum from which text is most likely to be quoted, i.e. this one.
The clock is high up on the wall, no one can find the step ladder.
Nah, once Mark's finished re-inventing Google search he's going to move on to reinventing time.
Nice to see STW serving up Flirty Ladies in your Area adverts, it's all going a bit Daily Star.

We do now - thanks!
it irritates me that you cannot any longer quote with the poster included. Even manually typing it all in does not work

edit - it does! I am sure it didn't last time I tried - note the above is totally made up
