Forum Update on 6th of August

Feedback: I do not get the ratings menu when I hover over the "Like" button (Win 11, Norton Private Browser & Firefox).

Hands up, it looks like despite having waited a long while after the release of 2.3, the add on provider for the content ratings hasn't updated their plugins (they're hoping to release the update this week).

Lesson for me, double check all plugins explicitly support the new version before an upgrade. One of those obvious in retrospect points.

As soon as the provider has released the update I'll apply it to the site so we can have our ratings back.
 
I'm guessing that the present limitation of ratings and an undersized logo is a temporary glitch for Xenforo which will likely be addressed in the future with a patch.

If this is the most we have to concerned with pertaining to a major upgrade I think it's probably a good thing.
 
We'll have to respond to comments with a comment expressing emotion. Kinda like real life. ;) At least we still have the emoji faces. :D

Good thing this isn't a forum dedicated to a condition characterized by deficiencies in emotional expression!

Really?
Is this momentary?
Or is this going to be continuing?
 
It's weird that it has come up; I've removed the featured content widget.
 
Sad, l can only like widget. But thanks to Satal, you are taking on this challenge like a true professional. :)
 
Thank you, Satal. In my experience with the state computer programs, these systems are so complex that any planned change results in a variety of unintended consequences.

The patience needed to resolve these issues is enormous.
 
Maybe I'm misremembering (and tbf I never used that feature anyway) but didn't the Share feature at the bottom of threads have more options than just LinkedIn before the update lol

(Or is that an entirely new feature to the forums with the update, I feel like that was there before but maybe it wasn't and I've just gaslit myself)

facebook, linkedin, tumblr.....
 
When I post a link, it expands.

Instead of just showing an address,
it turns into an entire reply/post.

Thread 'What in the Where'

This is an alphabetical *What in the Where* game.
We go through the alphabet, starting with the letter "A."
Then the next entry the *What* and the *Where* will start
with the letter "B."

And so on.

The 'what' and the 'where' will be nouns that start with the same letter.
Either common or proper nouns are ok.


EXAMPLE:

Aardvark in the apple tree

Benjamin in the basement

Cucumbers in the closet

I couldn't replicate but I've found the option and disabled it.
 
We seem now to need to confirm posting a "like" - a small thing , but it would be nice to have that option disabled
 
That should disappear again when the content ratings add on gets updated, which the developer suggests will be next week.
 
I have noticed a couple of bugs on the site recently.

- Only the "like" reaction is available (clicking it leads to a page to confirm it, unlike before, I suppose the staff were working on that?). I can't see the other reactions when hovering over the reaction icon with the cursor on PC or touching it for the first time on a touch screen on a mobile device like before.
- The logo became very small on desktop (I'm on Firefox):
