So I'm gathering the quote button is a multi-quote but that wasn't necessary because you could just hit reply on multiple posts for that to work, except yesterday when I tried doing that and it played up for the first time. It always worked fine before that.

Just noticed we have a quote button now between the like and the reply buttons. One more little button for my fat fingers to hit by mistake

I didn't know this!
Works for me though...

Is anyone besides me getting multiple email alerts for new conversation posts? I am receiving several (4,5,6) emails notifying me that there is one new entry in a private conversation. Kind of a nuisance. I'll get to the messages when I'm online and have time. No need for multiple notifications.

My alerts this morning said I had 94 new alerts. But when I clicked on it only 2 alerts show up and it won't show me any past alerts besides those 2 (I used to be able to see ones from the previous days). I'm guessing the bots created 92 new threads under the forums I was following and those were deleted? But where are the rest of my alerts?

That's what it looks like to me. Thankfully I had opted out of alerts for new threads in Watched Forums.

Yes it was just the one time it played up yesterday, I tried to multiquote and the first quote went into the reply box but when I hit reply on the second post that I wanted to also quote the first one did a disappearing act.

Cautiously reporting that the website seems to be running smoothly for me tonight and I have not been timed out or kicked off when trying to reply. I'm on a laptop with firefox, so I can't comment on the battery overheating issues. Hopefully more posters will give good feedback.

Hope I don't jinx myself I am on a nice little ole dell PC - all is fine. I had adjustment in terms of learning curve but its all good now.

Remain baffled by lack of delete -- might be cause a lot of you are far more organized than I !!

Ah. I'll have to try it both ways. With the Quote button, under "More Options" there was then a button for "Insert Options" and "Quote These Messages" as a choice. Then I could remove a quote as desired.

I opted out of all alerts except Conversations, but I'm getting multiple emails for one new conversation entry.

I'm on a Galaxy Tab using Chrome had been getting the same issue with reloading the past couple of weeks... thus far today it seems to be moving right along.

KFC ... peewhhwee.... Love that chicken from Popeyes

All right now time for the KFC /Popeyes battle!

KFC ummmmmmmm (while chewing you can feel your arteries filling up with
grease - an awesome and satisfying experience!

Popeyes booooooooooooo!!

Thank you! Samsung phone & Samsung Tablet. Both Android, if it matters. I will take note of time & such .

Contractions: after I type an apostrophe the end results vary. It doesn' want to type the letter after the apostrophe. If I retry it takes off the letter after apostrohe and starts to freeze up.

Won'
Don't
Won't
Don'
Doesn't
Doesn'
Can't
Can'

So it varies. I have to go back a few timed to correctly type a contacted word. Those ^ were examples. May be just me & Samsung?

Thank you for your hard work.

Since the KFC girl eating chicken in bed video stopped things are better.

*I'm also old, so that factors in!

Just type them wrong like I do and it goes thro!

That is funny!

Let me check with Dave first thing in the morning. We did give warnings about things that wouldn't transfer but I don't remember if this was one of them. Let me check.

How are YOU doing???

Did you try to double-click on ”Alerts“? Clicking once opens a pull-down list, clicking twice should open the alerts history.

Here is one example relating to my above post. This is a post I made earlier on a different thread.


MY OUTGOING QUESTION:

“Thanks Niner, I’m so confused with the new order of things. And this is a good example.

Before all threads relating to any case were listed in order of the most recent forum posted activity, whatever the latest post was. Now it appears that when I pull up search results they are not in any order, just random. And it requires going through them to see the date, which isn’t very easy to see...it’s visibly small, very. It’s particularly difficult when it’s a case with several different threads. I don’t have the time to do that, nor do I want to.

So yesterday in the list of many threads the most recent post date was yours on this thread dated June 5.

Does that make sense? And if you have any suggestions or tips, I welcome them. I’m spending less time here as the days go by because I’m simply not enjoying the process” TIA

RESPONSE BACK TO ME:

@Gooddeeds - strange that it would show June 5th date. I'm just getting used to this "new" software too and am having problems with my "Watched Threads". You are not alone.... Sorry, but I have no suggestions or tips....

I believe the above exchange reflects part of what many of us are experiencing.

Just forget the watched threads all together -- use history -- over time it turns into a watched threads but is time relevant! It stores the last 50 and I am sure only a few are following 51+ threads at time

The history is awesome awesome awesome!!

hhh

 

[CARIIS]

sorry about this guys!

Funny enough the posts that transferred over from the old site have things like %/!% etc where there should be an apostrophe.

Just found a few examples to explain what I mean

But there's also some other funny code in the old posts which might have nothing to do with apostrophes :
