Spare Ed's Issues Thread

[AB Editor]

Morning all,

Another day of fixing ahead. We've done lots of things behind the scenes to speed up the site, I hope you can see some of the differences. We've also done a bit of colouring in for original posters.

We will fix the problem of taking you back to the homepage after submitting a question.

The Clock will be fixed today.

We will also review latest posts - it should not show the latest poster on a question. The issue everyone seems to have is the lack of a refresh button and it the way it doesn't immediately show your post. Is this correct?

Anything else we can do to make your life easier?

Let us know and we'll do our best,

All the best,

Spare Ed

Do you want to be signed "Dotty" or Dot.Hawkes?

I think we can put this up today, if you dont mind?

Super. We will welcome any others of this standard. I will post a link when this is up.

Morning Ed & all - I didn't tune in yesterday, but glad to see the Question Author is now highlighted, ta!

1. It'll be nice when the 'Latest Posts' on the right are working as they used to.

2. The last poster at the top of threads - instead of having to scroll down.

3. Not sure if it's been mentioned again (as I haven't read back yet), but a line between each post would be most helpful & easier on the eye & brain! (Anything helps at my age)!

Thank you & have a good day!

3 things Ed,

1) Please include an additional 'Post an Answer' button at the BOTTOM of each thread.

2) Please restore ability to include bold / italics / underscore in posts

3) Please restore the 'Preview' button on posts or give us an edit facility to correct typos.

Charming I'm sure!

Have you sent that link directly to the AB Ed via Contact Us yet TCL?

[TCL-MUMPING]

I have done and the Spare Ed intimated in yesterday's thread that something would be done about it and its author

[smudge]

Ah, I see - well I'm going to send the link again TCL, the more the merrier! There really is no need for this childish, crude banter on here!

[AB Editor]

TCL - There is a minor issue with that! Or rather, we've found some. Something will be done as soon as possible!

Thanks for flagging this up again everyone.

That was a quick response Ed, thanks. Let's hope that particluar thread is removed now asap - please.

The Search facility is one of the first things that needs to be addressed. It is certainly not working properly and if AB is urging people to search to see if a question has already been asked, then not only should ALL relevant threads be shown, but the LATEST ones should surely appear first.

[AB Editor]

The offensive threads are gone.

Thread origintaor comments seem to have gone back to being uncoloured.

There seems only to be a title box for asking questions most of the time.

Any sign of the avatars working?

[pastafreak]

I closed a thread...yet 6 minutes later another post appeared on it. What is the point of having such a facility if it does not work?????

[bigmamma]

Please could we have the preview option back thank you sweets xx

[ChuckFickens]

The new poll over there > ed.... well you can just keep clicking and submitting vote after vote after vote if you want (actually it's handy for me as I use lots of different screen resolutions.)

[AB Editor]

It has disappeared for me!

Worrying stuff Chuck, we'll get on it.

hi Ed, glad to see you are working away.

I suppose we have all gotton used to the refresh button on the recent posts, but also the last post replied to being shown rather than the last post created, although if a post has been created that should show up as well.

like it used to be really, thats all we want I think

[ChuckFickens]

LOL,

and I was about to say now the poll has gone totally......... your just trying to make me look like the crazy person that sits in the corner seeing imaginary polls now aren't you :)
