bit-tech 2017 refresh feedback: Forum usability questions (Please go here first!)

I've a request: just like the old forums, when quoting a post that includes quotes, those quotes are automatically stripped out. Now, I understand that you might want to limit massively nested quotes, but even one layer of nested quotes would be nice to have.

 

+1

 

Aye, that's the badger.

 

Using on mobile tonight, is it just me, my phone or user error but I was in the mod section and the first page of some threads scrolled on for an eternity?

Are pages limited by post count or space? I guess posts that are just uber full would explain it.

 

Ah ha ta, just must be 20 fat posts in those threads - would explain why i've only seen it in the mod section.

 

Any update on Tapatalk?

 

Excellent, thanks for the update.

 

I've been trying to find an old example of this, but I'm pretty sure the old forum had a "Last Page" button for threads with many pages. I tend to navigate to the last page of a thread with that. Hovering my cursor below a title to make the invisible page numbers appear isn't as nice (although I could get used to it).

 

Here's an example:

I'd quite like the "Last Page" link to be present, or even for the page numbers to always be visible.
It's not the end of the world if it can't be fixed, it's just a nice thing to have.

 

Really? I thought it was more popular than that given that it is a very quick and easy way to browse multiple forii (?)...

 

Thanks! Weird how a small habit toward a feature like that can mess up my browsing now, ha.

 

I have quite a few threads on my watched list but since the 2017 'refresh' I rarely get the usual email notification. If I was never getting one then I would have assume that this was the new way to do things, but it is very haphazard as to if I get notifications though 9 times out of 10 new posts do show up in my alerts notification on the forum.

 

That's pretty much right. Here is an example I got a notification of your post via email but not one for a the last 4 posts on the Whats ruining your life right now, to which I contributed earlier today.
