New Specktra platform feedback and bug reporting

Well-known member
Welcome to our new home! There is a TON of new features for you to use and get used to. Please spend time playing with them if you have a moment and let us know here if you encounter any issues or just want to give general feedback. The staff is also here to assist you with any questions you may have.

Please post a link to the URL you were visiting in your feedback to help us with being able to quickly identify the issue you may be experiencing when posting a bug.


If you are experiencing site performance issues - the admins require answers to the questions below to diagnose your issue. Without this information from each user experiencing problems, we cannot properly diagnose the problem(s) as it may be specific to your local account/system:

For site slowness: How do you connect to the internet (connection speed) and are you using an ISP like Comcast, or a different service like AOL?

If you cannot post: this could mean a number of things. Can you start a thread? Are you able to reply to a message? To PMs? Which specific pages or actions generate an error?

Being logged out unexpectedly: If you are being logged out while browsing the site, that's an issue we need to pin down. Is Specktra the only site where this happens for you?

Please visit this page and copy and paste the information into a reply will also help us diagnose problems: http://whatsmyuseragent.com/

Thanks everyone.

I feel like I'm the only one here :) It looks really clean & beautiful. I didn't have issues inserting photos etc. It just feels odd to me - the older site seemed so "easy" for me to find my way, but its probably just me. I miss our old smiley list.:) I did notice that the spellcheck is not working in the form field like it did before.
Thanks for everything!

Hi elegant! Yes, it will take some time before everyone realizes the site is back up and ready to play. :) There are still small kinks that will crop up and one of those are the smilies. I think we are still working on getting the list worked out to where the box doesn't overwhelm the browser, we have SO MANY of them!

edited to add - If you previously used your browser's spell check, you will no longer be able to right click to see alternative spellings. This is because the right click menu is being used by our new editor to provide you with tools for image editing as well as table editing. That said, if you hold down the Control or Command key (depending on if you're a PC or Mac user) while you right click, you will be able to access Firefox's spell checker.

Very elegant!!

It will take some getting used to - but can you tell me how to leave feedback for someone who has left feedback for me? There doesn't seem to be anywhere to click once I go into "My Feedback" and I cannot see what was written.

Thank you - and again - major upgrade! :)

Thanks so much Janice.

I just checked from my ipad & I cannot login using it? I know that I have issues with some other sites with that happening when I am already logged in on my laptop then I try to also log in from my ipad. It just keeps telling me that there is a problem. I have checked my username & password over & over & it just doesn't let me in. It worked last night.

If you would like to leave feedback for another user, navigate over to their user profile (like http://www.specktra.net/user/janice) and then click on the feedback rating button underneath the user's avatar. From there, you should see a "Leave Feedback" button which will walk you through the wizard. If you're leaving feedback for someone who has left feedback for you simply click on their username from your feedback page and it will take you to their profile where you can follow the steps above!

Aw, I'm sorry to hear you miss those! I agree they were cool, but to be honest they were redundant and I chose to forgo them for our cub/cadette/senior/dean taxonomy.

Sorry to hear about your headache. :( I hope that you feel better soon and once you're adjusted you enjoy what the new platform has to offer!

Is an error message being thrown by chance? If so, please share it. We'll look into this for you and as soon as I have some feedback I will lyk!

Thanks Janice!

On the ipad - it gives this message:

There seems to be a problem...
Incorrect Username or Password. Please try again.

I have tried & tried - it will not work. My hubby also tried to login from his pc & gets the same message. So, it seems as though it will not let you login from more than one browser/computer/ipad etc.

When we leave feedback and it asks us to "Enter the classified URL of the item you traded" - do we just leave the URL of our sale threads? I usually sell more than one thing at a time, so I can't leave the URL to so many items... or am I just confused?

Thanks again...

When any site I frequent changes it takes a while to get used to. This is no exception but thank you so much for your hard work!

I can't seem to figure out how to change my signature...

The signature editor is on your user profile towards the bottom of the page.

oooooh, I like the drop down menu under Forums at the top. Thank you for all your hard work. Can I just mention that I'm finding the white on white backgrounds quite hard on the eyes?

I can see the ads, did the terms of the premium subscriptions change?

Nevermind, fixed it!
 
I love the new look! There is one little thing though...my signature layout is different from how I had it. How do I go about editing it now? I didn't see a signature editing area...did I miss something?

The forum looks great! It will take me a bit of time to get used to but I know that once I learn it I will love it.

My question is how do I change the words (Spaghetti Cat 4ever) below my user name? I have looked and looked and can't seem to figure out how.

Thanks a bunch!
