Support/Announcement Large Website Upgrade Coming Soon

[mt.wellington]

What happened to the site yesterday?

A few changes have also been added today. If you select a piece of text using the cursor, you can click the new button that will shown next to it called reply to do selective quoting. We had this previously, but this is a far better implementation of it.

So this is the same as the 'Quote me' thing? Nothing different bar the new text???

The 'quote me' thing only worked for me on a "when I feel like it" basis for some reason. This one seems to stay.

I'd like to start a new thread.

A week or so ago I noticed that there was a button on the main forums page called 'New Thread'. With the very latest change to the site, that button seems to have disappeared.

I go to the FAQ, but it doesn't work for me. Answers are not displayed. I'm running ios7 on my ipad.

There's nothing once you click jsut on "Forums" because it's just the general holding tank for all the different parts of the forum. It should be on the upper right once you get into the more specific parts of the forum eg General Warriors Discussion, NRL Discussion, Social Forum etc.

1) the site is currently running without certain features as i try to investigate what caused the downtime yesterday. Whatever it was, it was chewing a large amount of memory which made the site inaccessible to pretty much everyone. The button will be back.

As for, creating a new thread....go inside the section and you will see a 'create new thread' button.

Not sure where to post this, so I'll try here.

I have had a weird problem when viewing this website from my phone, since I have had my phone. I'm not sure if its something to do with the site, or just the phone.

Its a Chinese "Galaxy Note 3". The problem occurs whenever I have to backspace an error out of a post (which happens frequently because of my thumb for fingers). As soon as I hit backspace, it grabs the whole word I am trying to correct and randomly moves it into the middle of the original post I am replying to. It gets really messy sometimes, as it can sometimes replaces letters from the original. Sometimes, it gets caught up in the middle of the posts info and it just ruins the formatting.

I have been told to wait a few seconds before posting, as there appears to be a delay on phones, that you see fairly often where the first little bit of a reply gets in front of the original post. I have tried this, even waiting over a minute, but it still happens on the first backspace I do. It also gets weird, as sometimes, I can't get my reply box to scroll back down to where I stopped typing (but I think that one may be to do with my phone, anyway).

Just wondering if anyone has a clue what the problem might be (apart from me buying cheap knock-offs).

Anyone else experiencing this?

Can you PM me the exact name of your phone, and ill get you to test a couple of things out for me. Also what browser(and version if possible) are you using on your phone? Does it happen with another browser on the same phone?

2 other things to try:
1) Turn off Predictive Text or Auto Replacement on your phone settings. Should be under Settings -> Input and Control -> Language and Input -> Keyboard or something similar on your phone.
2) Add a space BEFORE you backspace.

It is a counterfeit knock-off, but it has Samsung badges. The label inside the batterie compartment says it is a GT-i9500. In the settings it says it is model SM-N900. It is running android 4.3.

I have just tried using a new browser recently. It is CM Browser version 5.0.74 and it came from Play Store. I also used to use the standard android installed browser, but I don't know what it is called, it just says Internet version 4.3.

I have the same problems with both browsers.

Predictative is switched off, and I can't find anything about Autoreplacement, but haven't caught it replacing any words.

I can't test the space theory at the moment because for some reason, today, the reply box has not been coming up when I click reply. I have also had recent encounters with the site not formatting correctly (really wide, and with the usual header, icons, etc missing), but have assumed this may be to do with things being tweeked at your end.

Edit: reply box is back. Tried putting a space before backspacing but it still jumped straight back into your post.

I also just read your post properly, so will copy all of this into a PM, as you requested. Sorry.

Any chance, Taj, of there being a space between the icons for like, funny, inappropriate etc? It's great that they're all there, but I've lost count of the number of times that I've hit the wrong one and had to undo rating etc. Thanks for any help!

Done mate.

BTW the entire look of the site will be changing (currently worked on). If you would like to be a guinea pig (you will be able to switch between the look of the new site to the current one for the time being) and give feedback such as this, please PM me. Need to incorporate all the lil changes that you guys like. This goes for anyone out there. Any help is appreciated.

I still can't open this site from a saved bookmark. It opens the page then just closes every time. Have to type the address and it works ok. Those wankers at Apple have a lot to answer for allowing the ipad2 to be upgraded to ios8 when it clearly can't handle it. iPad is now a pretty expensive paper weight!

Whats the saved bookmark url mate?

I have heard there were some issues with ios 7 with ipads and websites (especially keeping people logged into apps and webpages) but it seems these issues are still evident in ios 8. Unfortunately my ipad (gen 1) is on a really low ios version so i cant test (def not going to update ). If i get more info from you guys (perhaps try with a different browser too guys!) ill try my best to help.

Same, if I save the site to a bookmark Safari just crashes. I tend to just leave the tab open and log in every time.....
Probs will ditch the iPad and go for an Android

Using Safari... The bookmark is nzwarriors.com and it opens up ok..but after a few seconds it just vanishes. Opens fine and works no problems if I type the address into the URL.

Bookmark works ok using chrome on the iPad... I just don't particularly like chrome on the iPad!

Today when i logged on the nzwarriors.com banner at the top stays on all the time, so when i go to read a forum the banner stay there and only half the page can be seen when i'm scrolling up and down the page.which is very frustrating when reading a large post as you can only see a few lines at a time. btw i'm using windows 8. I was hoping this can be fixed somehow.

 

[scottyb]

Problem solved, thank's guy's

I'm finding the new floating toolbar is cutting off the most recent posts. When I click on my Alerts, it takes me to the first unread post, but locates the post underneath the toolbar.

Also, on my smartphone, the toolbar squeezes up into one line, meaning the "new post" icon sits directly under the "bookie" banner, etc, and my "Alerts", "Inbox", etc sit in the middle of the advertising banner.

Not sure if its just me, or if its just teething trouble, or what.
