Subtle changes, bugs and feedback

Are you likely to introduce prefixes for classifieds? I find it really tricky to scan search results and the like for Wanted: versus For Sale: threads. I really liked the compulsory prefixing on the old forum.

Yes, though when... I do not know.

You used to able to do it - but 1½ month ago it stopped.

The mobile version has improved so much! It had been a while I hadn't used it on my phone and it is very good! Nice work!

Thanks.

Recently I seem to be getting linked to spam websites when I click on threads. It's not all the time. It happens when using Chrome on my Nexus 7.2

Problem with my tablet perhaps? It just only seems to happen with the forum.

Maybe a problem with your network or firewall. Certainly nothing on the forum itself.

you may (or may not) be interested to know purely from a general interest standpoint that LFGSS has in the last fortnight or so become a casualty to the great firewall of China - no joy accessing it other than behind a VPN now, which is a shame.

This is interesting... any way to confirm this?

Reports as being OK from several places in China: http://www.greatfirewallofchina.org/index.php?siteurl=http://www.lfgss.com

Getting lots of 'server cannot be found' errors trying to load the site atm

Linode London were suffering internal network issues at the time.

I'm having problems with the Link and Image buttons at the top of the reply box, whenever I tap them it instantly closes Safari and loses whatever I'd typed by reloading the page when I open it again.

This has been happening ever since I updated to iOS 8.3 - happening on iPhone and iPad.

Sounds like an Apple bug, upgrade to Android.

Now, I want it now!

Can you rename "Derby?" thread to Derby Velodrome or whatever its proper title is? I haz no edits on that thread.

LOLage

Done, but you should have permissions... the forum says you have.

Nup, doesn't look like anything under the Track sub-forum.

But you're in Site Admins: http://www.lfgss.com/microcosms/522/memberships/

If I go to other threads I have admin controls.

Within the Track sub-forum, the only function is 'Ignore', there's no dropdown with other functions (Edit, etc) available to me.

Sounds like a nice subtle bug.

works now

Seemingly not for me. Welp

Apologies if this has been covered already elsewhere.

I'm getting a lot of "The search query took too long and has been cancelled" when searching for something in one of the forums. It's fine when I have the "Title matched search terms" checked but in classifieds people don't always have the word in the title. Especially if they're selling lots of items at the same time.

Any tips?

Ever since updating to iOS 8.3 I cannot view attached images!
Any suggestions or is this an Apple error?

It was but I can't remember where.

Basically the message is correct and not an error: you need to be more specific with your search terms.

thanks for that. still not working but i'll have a play around.

Here at a guess:

Markdown remains broken. When I try to italicise the ns in "KG2n1 for some value of n between 2 and 5" I get "KG2*n*1 for some value of n between 2 and 5"

I'd thought that @ing a username was only a problem with various Unicode shenanigans, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be possible to @ian(conker), which I tried just now. Is it the brackets? Anyway, very subtle and just for future reference.
