Recent problems and our planned solutions

this time we didn't actually use the .net in the move to avoid those issues we had before,

 

Just noticed that on threads that I have started there is a little "Thread Tools" option at the top of page, which lets me edit the Thread Title. Don't think that was there before, and will help if I make a Boo-Boo

 

Thanks Richard I'll see how I get on!

 

Just to double check: You still have the original, big, file plus also a differently named file which is smaller?

I ask because "in the same place" suggests that it might overwrite the original, high quality, image file with the new, smaller, one - which would not be good.

personally I would use a specific folder for the smaller ones you are going to upload - "Pictures_for_Upload" or similar. That way you can jsut delete everything in that folder periodically, rather than having to pick through small files in the same folder as big ones - and potentially delete the wrong one :(

Correct. Once it's upload to GC (or anywhere else) there is a physical copy there, so you no longer need to keep a copy - best you just hang on to the original, high quality, image in case you want to make another cropped / resized version from it.

Hopefully clear as mud?! if not pls ask for any clarification you need.

 

Thanks, didn't spot that as I rarely go back to threads I've initiated, but being able to change the title (even after subsequent postings) will be a great boon, not just when spotting that immediate mistake, but also for when things change shortly (or longer) after posting.

 

only a little moan honest yesterday I scored 1,147 in Choper Choper which meant would of got my title back , anyway it didn't keep my score I just had 1, 184 same thing happened again

<--------- Does anybody else keep getting a space character automatically inserted on the line immediately beneath a quote?

OK, I can just keep backspacing them out but it is a bug.




EDIT: But the space disappears on posting! And the need to click the Post Reply button twice problem has now gone away (been fixed?).

 

Not for me it hasn't


Edit: although for this post it worked perfectly

 

I'm building a website at present (its what I do ....). I have a particular page on that where sometimes I have to press a button twice. I have no idea why, and all pages are built to a template so as far as I am concerned its not different to any other page. I have absolutely no idea why that is, and I'm almost certain that it is no different to any other ... so I guess its just possible that its a browser bug or something external and nothing to do with the site.

Might not be anything to do with that either :(

Perhaps click it more slowly (given that we know it is faulty for you) bit like a light switch that is on the blink. For example: if you put the mouse over the POST REPLY button it should change colour and then if you click-and-hold the mouse button it will change colour again, then when you release it all the buttons will change colour and then it is definitely clicked! If you don't get any of the colour changes then you can assume it probably hasn't heard you and you are probably going to need to press it again. I reckon you can do that in not-very-long, compared to the length of my explanation, but for me the hard bit would be remembering to slow-click it each time ... until I found it hadn't worked of course!

 

The button definitely 'fades out' when pressed the first time (as if it is listening to me) but, after a few seconds, it then reverts to bold once again. The second time I clink, it 'fades out' for a split second and then posts the reply.

 

There you go

If it looks different between when it works and when not (with "slow clicking") then that might save you having to wait-and-see-what-happens. Only as a work around until a bright spark comes up with a proper solution
