I feel this is one of the most ironic comments I've ever seen. Thanks for the chuckles, Nik.

Sorry mate, but you've asked some pretty simple tech questions before and then called out others when they've asked what you deem to be daft questions.  I'm not sure that it's on you to question the information I post when attempting to contribute to a neowin bug.

 

Everyone is on a learning curve, so before you are critical of others on that curve, take a moment to evaluate your position.

Bah, getting the same thing in Firefox had to log on with chrome to reply to this.  reset\clear cookies didn't help.. arg....

 

It's the cache you want to clear in Firefox, not the cookies.  I had the problem before clearing my cache, and haven't had it since doing so.

I'm having the same issue. I have to switch browsers and keep hitting refresh until it shows the text editor. very annoying.

just did it to me in PMs.

Everyone thinks it is cache, but cached issues shouldn't go away and then come back later.

I cannot even reply on my phone anymore, even with clearing data and storage. It worked earlier but does not now.

FFM, CTRL + SHFT + R always does a nice clean refresh for me. Fixed this issue up on the comps i was having an issue with.

 

Things are improving, however, if I edit a quoted comment to remove parts I'm not replying to, BEFORE I type my reply, I can no longer type into the reply area below the quote.  Also, I can no longer split a quoted section.

 

Note: This only happens if I remove text at the bottom of the quote.

Splitting quotes started working today... Weird.

Congratulations on the upgrade, the forums are now even WORSE than before!

 

Either you can't reply, or if you quote and edit, and click submit, you get your post wiped and the error "This field is required".

 

Don't you lot ever actually TEST things?

 

Working great here for me. I can't believe how rude this comment is. First of all, Neowin is small. Secondly, they acknowledge the ipb4 upgrade was terrible NOT Neowin's fault, but IPB's. Third, the forums are faster, mobile responsive, and better looking. Lastly, they are doing everything they can to squash bugs.

1. Neowin is not small, not even remotely small.

2. IPB are at fault for releasing bug ridden software, Neowin are at fault for not testing properly before upgrading.

3. I find them no faster than before, either on desktop or mobile. If anything, the new script way of loading a page is infinitely worse as it totally screws over being able to go forwards/backwards through threads.

4. It wasn't rude, it was factual and called for considering the complete cluster frak the 4.0 upgrade was. They should have learned from that and had 4.1 under test for longer, with a wider range of users testing it.

The thing is, we even told them they needed to setup a test environment and invite everyone to test before deploying. They did not and here we are.

Anyone having this issue should clear cache and all Neowin related cookies, in most modern browsers you can now delete cookies by name, and not have to clear them all. It's possible things from the previous forum version are interfering with the updated forum version. Yes, this is an old site and we have a lot of old accounts, when software for the site is updated, we don't automatically update all of our clients cache and preferences :p

 

Help us out here by first doing the above steps and then report if still broke.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.

      Was it the way the cars handled in 4? or was it the choices you had to make?

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By Parallax Abstraction · Posted

      I understand the position Valve is in with hardware pricing thanks to the AI bubble, but as others have said, this is DOA at this price point. There's no world in which a machine at that performance level is worth that price. My girlfriend's a console gamer and after meeting me, wanted to try PC but wanted something she could use on her TV with a controller. The Steam Machine is basically tailor made for her, but only at what it would have cost before the hardware crisis. I took my old Lenovo Legion laptop with a Ryzen 5800H and a 3060 Mobile 8GB, put Bazzite on it and it does the same thing with the games she's interested in very well. She still likes the Steam Machine, but won't be touching it until component prices are back in the sane range. I know Valve isn't a charity, but I don't know why they're not willing to at least partially subsidize this device or even take a loss on it during the component crisis, just to build some market share. Then again, the Steam Deck is also a complete ripoff at its current price and they can barely keep them in stock so...
