Please Report Errors / Link Problems

[tsptalk]

Based on the initial results of the poll, I am clearly the odd ball.

As I said before, it's amazing to me that this xenforo software, which I was told was better forum software, didn't come with the ability to have users make their own choice on the post order like vbulletin did. And their default is first to last.

The add-on modification that I bought will allow me to reorder all posts from newest to oldest, but it's not a global change. I have to do it for each individual forum listed on the main forum page, so it won't get done right away. Hopefully by Monday I will have time to tackle this.

Do you guys read books back to front?

I'm used to the last post last, but I'm open to change.

If I have already read the previous posts, Why would I want to wade through the old stuff to get to the new post? If I've been away for awhile, then I will find where I left off and catch up.

OK, I am testing this for for the post order change. This add-on program makes it so that I have to set this for each separate forum. So right now only the threads and posts in Report Problems are changed.

One thing I notice is that hitting rely takes you to the bottom of the thread, which is where the default "reply" form is.

Also, it puts the new post at the bottom initially until the page gets reloaded where it then puts it on top. It seems buggy.

Check it out in the Test area (https://forum.tsptalk.com/forums/test-area.131/) if you want to play with it.

I do like to look at the new posts without fumbling around, so I guess I'm with JTH on this issue.

Or, just do it (as if there's anyone on the planet Earth that wants to look at posts from 15 years ago)

OK, survey is up top. Let's do this.

Not sure what anyone else thinks, but I'm in the last to first camp. As it stands now, I have to click on the thread, then the last page, then scroll down to the bottom. I would make the offer of putting it to a forum vote, but if it doesn't go my way, I won't concede the loss...

Unfortunately individual choice of post order is not an option with this software for some reason. I did install an add-on script that will allow it, but I didn't realize until later that it was all or nothing. We all have to see it it first to last, or last to first, it's not an individual choice.

I'm really surprised this feature isn't in this "better" forum software.

How do I make it so posts in a thread show descending chronological order, newest first?

I have told them about this. I assume they will get it working, but I actually think the forum looks good going directly to the forum link - https://forum.tsptalk.com without the app.

I can't get this forum to come up on Tapatalk anymore. Shows a banner for a few seconds that says "Network error, please try again later, (get_config)". Tried removing it, adding it, and same thing... something is off here.

I also get this message once in a while.

"This message is awaiting moderator approval, and is invisible to normal visitors."

Ironically the permissions for the Moderators was very restrictive. I had to reset them. It should be better now.

So the new forum no longer works with the Tapatalk app that I use for forums I follow. Is that going to be fixed or will it no longer work with it? Thanks, Tom

I looked into it and it may not work with this cloud version. I haven't gotten a straight answer yet, but I was less interested in tapatalk when I saw how the forum looks on my cell as is. It looks like a mobile app. Have you tried it? But I will look into getting tapatalk working with this new software.

How do you make a simple post

How do you simply make a new post under your own account name?

If you're looking for your Account Thread, here is the latest posts address: https://forum.tsptalk.com/threads/exnavyews-account-talk.22280/page-40#post-701065

If you wanted to start a new thread, there is an orange button at the top of other threads. For example, if you wanted to start a new thread on the economy, you would go here: https://forum.tsptalk.com/forums/the-economy.37/post-thread

Can you make it so when you click on a thread it goes to the last page/newest post? I also think it makes life easier when the newest posts are at the top.

If you click the link on the far right that highlights when the last post was, it will take to the latest post.



I haven't figured out how to default them to the top yet though. I'll send you a PM if I do.
