Steven P. Administrators Posted December 24, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted December 24, 2015 I will look into this today and see if I can find any fixes via IPS support or Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloatingFatMan Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Well Chrome mobile, at least on my N6 running the latest Marshmallow release, as you can see, is farked.

Steven P. Administrators Posted December 24, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted December 24, 2015 I have posted a topic on IPS in the hope that someone was able to debug why it happens, you can see it here: https://community.invisionpower.com/topic/424445-editor-does-not-always-show-also-here-on-ips-ipb-4152/ but you'll need to be a customer (I think) to access that forum. For the record, I tried posting there last night and the editor wouldn't load for me, this morning it did without any issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, this issue has been there since 4.0, so I have no clue as to why it's only getting brought up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiB3R Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Am I right in thinking that the following post and others like it, will remain forever borked?... The first post should show a whole list of components. An earlier upgrade messed with the formatting, and recent upgrades annihilated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted December 25, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted December 25, 2015 Yes the devs told me they were going to attempt to fx the broken posts, but I'll bug them about it some other time, today very little will happen on the dev side I imagine!

BinaryData Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) @Steven P. Posting here on my Android, using the latest Chrome. Works just fine for me. @FloatingFatMan Try clearing your cache, update if needed, and try again. Edited December 25, 2015 by BinaryData Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dot Matrix Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Not really a huge bugbear, but I've noticed on IE 11, that when you activate the notifications drop down after logging in, the drop down dissappears as soon as you move the mouse, and you'll need to activate the notifications a second time to click into them. I haven't been able to reproduce this on Chrome or Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Berry Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Links in user's signatures (I'm guessing added before the update) is broken - they just link back to the forum topic. Try Neobond's signature links for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still offer the 3.x version for people who are not ready for next level stuff. The more legacy clutter they packed into IP4 the slower it would have been. I am glad they made something focused only on the way forward. They are the only forum solution in town to do so. Change is never easy, but it's good in this case I feel.

Of course... all you do is copy and paste the links/images into the post before you submit. No need to use BBcodes like in the past.... Things change these days which help your life easier and quicker instead of typing down the bbcodes like we did in the 3.x and older. superj707 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I can see why they did it, it has caused problems. Most people need to be lured into things gradually, otherwise they'll just give up & leave. The userbase of Neowin proves this, as there was a lot more active posters before the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
