Suggestions / cookie settings banner issue
« on: January 19, 2024, 10:51:33 am »
Hi - got this from one of my users

Hi Mods -

Any chance you can ask CreateAForum to sort out the cookie settings banner? It makes using the site almost impossible on mobile devices because when you scroll too close to it it captures focus on the page, so you automatically scroll to the bottom and jump over what you were trying to read.

Bugs / Has [img] changes in News?
« on: October 08, 2023, 12:52:58 pm »
Every time I try and load a jpg image in news using [ img ] it gives it a width 400 height 100 setting that I cannot change.
Is this a bug or something new?
The image I am loading is https://comeallwithin.createaforum.com/gallery/comeallwithin/1-081023132944.jpeg

Suggestions / Automatically Posting Twitter Messages
« on: May 11, 2023, 11:50:57 am »
In the same way you automatically post youtube videos from a URL provided, it would be nice if you could do the same for tweets.


As an administrator with ability to use the < html > tag, I can use twitframe



<iframe border=0 frameborder=0 height=950 width=400
 src="https://twitframe.com/show?url=https://twitter.com/_JessHayden/status/1589617140705169408">
</iframe>



but Joe Public cannot. If you could somehow make this happen without opening up users to the html tag, that would be great.


The other wrinkle is the size of the iframe is fixed while tweet sizes are variable, so it needs tweaking for each post.
On the twitframe site they seem to indicate you can adjust this automatically, but it's all Greek to me

General Support / Is the censor working?
« on: January 13, 2023, 12:31:25 am »
Someone on my board https://comeallwithin.createaforum.com/ just used the word **** (c u n t s)  in a post and the censor didn't pick it up.
I tried adding it to the list of banned words, and that was ignored.
So I wondered if the censor is running, after all it seems a pretty obvious word to ban.
Cheers, DOK.


On further investigation the censor is running but plurals seem to be an issue
**** **** and **** all appear uncensored
**** **** **** in the singular are censored

Two people left messages for me today


1. The Black up arrow at the top left of the screen in the mobile version has stopped functioning as it did. From any page on a thread it used to take you back up to the list and refresh the list; now it just takes you to the start of the thread.


I've tried this on Android/Chrome, Windows 10/Chrome and Windows 10/Edge. All identical.


2. On the mobile site, the "go up" arrow at the top left of the page on a thread no longer takes you back to the board but to the first page of the thread. Is this a deliberate change?


So has something happened to the functionality of that arrow (I don't use the mobile site) ?

General Support / Help - I've bolloxed my Forum
« on: September 24, 2022, 03:12:26 pm »
I was playing around with news items. Added a simple iframe command. Now I can't delete the news item and it prevents anyone using the forum.
Can you sort me out?

General Chat / Trying to use video tag
« on: August 01, 2022, 05:13:32 pm »
I am trying to load a video in a post using

Code: [Select]
[html]
<video width="640" height="480" controls >
  <source src="https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1554124231947984899/pu/vid/720x900/W21hBu5PqPU-xndS.mp4?tag=12" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>


[/html]


I can do this as Admin, but not as a normal user. What permission do I need to give a normal user to allow this?

General Support / ERR_CONNECTION_RESET error
« on: November 26, 2021, 09:10:32 am »
On my forum https://comeallwithin.createaforum.com/ someone is complaining they get a lot of connection reset errors.


It doesn't appear to be one machine or one operating system or one browser or one location (so not one home network)


I did ask if other people were experiencing this and got no response, so he's the only one noticing this even if more are experiencing this.


What he's said is below


"Hi David

I've been getting a lot of "connection reset" issues for a few weeks now. It happens on my android phone using Chrome and windows PC both Edge and Chrome. Only this site.

Has anyone else mentioned this? Have you noticed it?

Cheers

Stuart

Thanks for that but I'm pretty sure it's not my phone as it also happens on the PC and it's not my home network because it happened when I was on holiday in France too. It's also only this site.

It fixes itself generally then doesn't happen for a bit.

Ok, a bit more as it appears I haven't been as clear as I could have been.

Problem occurs on

Android Chrome
Windows Chrome
Windows Edge
iPad Safari

I've experienced it in France (phone, iPad), in Suffolk (phone, iPad) and at home in Surrey (phone, iPad & pc).

It's almost certainly a server comms issue.

It is intermittent and often only indicated by a particularly slow navigation but very occasionally this results in the ERR_CONNECTION_RESET "page" being displayed.

There's absolutely no way I'm doing anything about it regarding my devices as it only occurs with this site.

There is a possibility that many people either don't notice or just think they've got a temporarily poor connection. I generally have all error diagnosis settings set to display because my career was in IT so apart from noticing the poor response times I get notified of the errors. And they only occur on here."

Style Support / cannot paste the text from one style to another
« on: July 27, 2021, 06:21:15 pm »
It would be useful to be able to paste all the text/code for a style in one go.
I was trying something out today, totally cocked up the style.
I'd saved the style before I started to a text file, but then discovered you cannot just cut/paste from that text file back to the style with a Ctrl A, Ctrl C, Ctrl V, you have to cut/paste in a number of chunks and of course this makes it much more likely you'll miss some code or duplicate it.
The ability to copy and rename styles would be nice.

General Support / Users cannot comment (agree/disagree etc...)
« on: June 21, 2021, 09:09:07 pm »
I have a couple of users cannot use those buttons in the bottom right hand corner to agree/disagree/like/dislike etc... Both use modern versions of iPhones.
The most recent has all the relevant permissions, and cannot comment using his iPhone XE (2020) with IOS 14.6 however if he logs onto a PC he can comment quite happily.
So clearly this isn't a permissions issue.
He says he still can see the icons to comment on the iPhone but pressing them has no result.
My forum is https://comeallwithin.createaforum.com/general-discussion/ in case there's anything I have done to screw this up.


Many thanks.

General Support / Can we embed tweets in messages
« on: April 06, 2021, 01:49:28 pm »
In the same way youtube videos are automatically picked up when you just put the URL in a message, is it possible to do something similar with tweets?
I have a URL like this https://twitter.com/Harlequins/status/1373620415629721611 but it would be nice if the tweet appeared in the message rather than just the URL.
I've seen some bbcode uses a [tweet] code, but that doesn't seem to work here.

Suggestions / Edit titles
« on: January 04, 2020, 12:50:51 pm »
Some kind soul started a message on my forum "Re: Sale thrashing and now it’s official. We are simply s***t"

Before I knew it there were 2 pages of replies all quoting the same heading.
I fixed the first message, so the word no longer appears in the message list, and I fixed the last, so all future messages don't propagate it, however I really don't want to go edit 20 odd messages by hand to get rid of the thing entirely.

Could it be possible/desirable even that if an Admin changes the header of the first message it propagates through all of them?

Style Support / Newest Post Button not Working
« on: January 20, 2019, 06:09:40 pm »
If you use the mobile theme


then when you press the ">" button on the right hand side for the latest post, you don't get it, just the first post in the thread.


Looking at the underlying URL it looks like


https://comeallwithin.createaforum.com/general-discussion/white-outs/msg14836/#new#new


The extra "#new" on the end seems to be the culprit.

General Support / White Outs
« on: January 15, 2019, 10:49:32 pm »
Getting reports of white outs on my forum https://comeallwithin.createaforum.com/general-discussion/white-outs/
Not suffering them myself so don't even know what it means.


Possibly linked to this report https://support.createaforum.com/8/blank-white-pages-instead-of-post/

    « Reply #10 on: Monday 14-Jan-2019, 10:37 »
    I've noticed when the white outs happen and you try and reload the page that at the bottom left of the screen it seems to have something to do with "bigestsafe.com" - which I've Google searched and lots of Malware related search results come back. The line I get is often: "Waiting for bigestsafe.com".
