Oh, I had emails in the mornings, I haven't received more.


And I still can't figure out how to quote more than 1 person.

Me neither.

That's the quote button with the plus sign (right of the "Reply with Quote" button)

Hello. So far, these are a few qualms I have:
3. There is permanent ad space now which makes the page too wide! So we have to keep scrolling left and right to view all the page content. I have found it too wide both on a pc, laptop and mobile phone. Perhaps the coding should be set so that the page width isn't permanently set and/or adjusts to the user's monitor resolution.

Curious what browser you're using, because mine is auto-adjusting (and the actual posts look too narrow to me as a result). I've used Safari on iPad, and Chrome on PC with the same result.

I don't know about mkoparanova but I mean something different.. For example you have quoted mkoparanova and when I want to quote your post (so what you have said and what you have quoted) I will only get what you said in my reply. The quote you have quoted disappears.

Thank you! Earlier I clicked on a few posts but they didn't appear anywhere. I clicked on reply with quote too now and it worked!
That's even better than before then because it doesn't take you to the bottom of the page.

Hi Jenny. I've been using chrome on both my PC and laptop. It's the same whether my ad blocker is on or not. So, there's no actual ad showing, just space dedicated for it.

I soooo did not notice that!! I love that we can do that now! Thanks for posting that tip!

I'm using Firefox and the posts are narrow on my screen as well.

Yayyy!!! Thank you! Only thing is, if you select all the threads, it only selects the threads on that one page. So if you have 6 pages of threads, you have to go and select all threads on each page! You're a star Maggie!

I have the same problem as Shars with Chrome on PC. I tried with and without adblocker - no change.

Oh I've never known how to do this

Ah I get you mean now, those are nested quotes. Yeah, I don't think that's an option at the moment. I think it was an individual setting before? Can't remember!

The credit is for jennyap here! It's great - before I was always worried that I'm going to miss someone's post, if I'm quoting more than 3-4.

Oh I've only done it to the first page then Thank you for pointing this out! Maybe that's why some people still receive emails?

Yes nested quotes! Couldn't remember the word lol. I also can't remember how it was before haha but I really miss that feature.

I had this pop up while browsing, but had multiple tabs open so not sure what caused this. I changed my password, so that might be it, although this popped up several seconds after.

This can happen due to two issues:
1. You have been auto logged out (due to inactivity of 15 minutes)
2. You have changed password and your session was destroyed.

Either way, using "remember me" during login should help.

Maybe you're still working on it, but I can't find the emoji's list and I can't see how many new posts there are in a thread (so you can go directly to the new posts). Again, maybe I'm just being impatient and you're still busy with this stuff! The site is looking great btw!

Does this help? We know the icons are a bit small and not very self-explanatory. We will take care of it later.

I think if you enable ''Enhanced Interface Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG'' under ''General Seetings'' you should be able to see the emojis.

Regarding the number of new posts, I don't see that feature for now either.

We have enabled it for everyone by default.

I see that members I had blocked are again visible for me and I don't see where I can block them again?

Apart from "Edit ignore list" from your settings, you can go to anyone's profile and click "add to ignore list."

Oh, and is it possible to change from desktop to mobile mode? If I view Specktra on my phone, it looks very cluttered right now.

Unfortunately, we are not using any mobile mode. We are using a technique known as "responsive design" where the page adopts to your screen size. We know there are places (esp settings) where it is not optimized properly and these will be worked on.

Call me a spoilt brat but I'm missing some of my favourite smileys (the crazy one with the rolling pin, the dancing bananas, pompom, etc.). Is there any chance they will come back or are they gone for good? Or maybe they are there but I missed them (been a looooong day)?

I'm delighted to see this wee guy though: Aww, bless

The ones you are looking for...are listed here? http://www.specktra.net/misc.php?do=getsmilies&editorid=vB_Editor_QR

If not, can you give some exact names?

I'd like to see the return of the drop-down navigation under forum threads and sections. It'll be that much easier to navigate from forum to forum. :nods:

Seconded

We have added this at the bottom of all pages.

The way I used to navigate the forum was by having all the threads listed down the main page, and if there was a new post on a thread it was automatically bumped to the top. To get back to that from a thread I would click on New Posts, or whatever it was called, at the bottom of the page. I don't seem to be able to do this here. Is it possible? If so, can anyone tell me how, please? It included threads from The Scoop, MAC Chat, other brands, counterfeit, and stash sales.

Does the "Recent discussion" block at the very bottom help? Is it the same thing you are looking for?

Before I had a tab at top right that was my subscriptions. These were the only threads I would view. Is there a way to re-subscribe or is that feature now hiding somewhere from me? Thank for all your hard work making this jump. I know there's lots of details to work out!

Subs are visible in "settings" now. It is not intuitive but we will work on that. We did import all your subscriptions though

I miss the like button...

It will be back in due time.

the 10 character thing is killing me ! I just want to post a smiley or just "yes" . I am going to have to use a lot of this ---> "!"

You can type

Yes<space><space><space><space><space><space><space><space><space><space>.

if you prefer

Yay, I'm so glad you're back!

I'm definitely missing the ability to go to the first unread/new post in a thread. Edit - DUH, found it!

I also kinda dislike how narrow the main forum is - before it fit in around the gallery & ads but was full screen width after that. It's not a major issue for me, but will take a bit of getting used to for sure.

ETA on some pages the narrowness is causing things to be squashed up:

We will get those issues fixed soon. Thanks!

i tried the space thing it isn't getting counted as a character

Hello. So far, these are a few qualms I have:
1. I'm having trouble locating the equivalent page where I can manage all my subscriptions at once. Meaning: the changeover has set my email preferences to be updated daily as the default. I don't want this. Before, we had one page where we could edit all the subscription email notifications in one go. Now, I have to go to the last page of the thread in order to change my preference.
2. When we signed in on the old system, there was direct link to see your subscriptions. Now, you have to go to settings and then go to view all subscriptions. It isn't a big deal, but it would be good if we could go straight to the subscriptions.
3. There is permanent ad space now which makes the page too wide! So we have to keep scrolling left and right to view all the page content. I have found it too wide both on a pc, laptop and mobile phone. Perhaps the coding should be set so that the page width isn't permanently set and/or adjusts to the user's monitor resolution.
4. For private messages, is there a way to reconvert messages with the same title and with the same forum user back to the conversation style as opposed to having 100 individual messages in the inbox? It was a lot easier to track a private conversation when they were grouped together.

These are just a few things I found off the bat. I will post again if I have any other issues.

1. New: http://www.specktra.net/profile.php?do=editoptions > Default Thread Subscription Mode
Existing: Go to http://www.specktra.net/subscription.php > Select all > "Selected Threads" menu > through control panel/email daily/weekly etc

Hopefully this helps.

2. We will take care of this soon.

3. The site is now optimized for phones and 1080p displays. You are probably using something in the middle. We will fix this soon. Horizontal scrolling is never fun.

4. Sorry; not possible (easily that is).

A screenshot would help along with your display resolution and browser.

 

[Specktra]

And I still can't figure out how to quote more than 1 person.

You can click the quote icon with +

for all the posts you wanna quote, then hit "Reply to thread" at the bottom.

There are some documentation available here: http://www.specktra.net/faq.php

I don't know about mkoparanova but I mean something different.. For example you have quoted mkoparanova and when I want to quote your post (so what you have said and what you have quoted) I will only get what you said in my reply. The quote you have quoted disappears.

Automated Nested Quotes are not an option at this time, unfortunately.
