Good one, but but if there was a Problem with Database Locking, you would see an Error Screen with a lots of numbers and error messages, but I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCM Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) @VBF TD loves those suggestions as with a site like this he is open for every suggestion if it helps him clarify the situation to InVision so (I think) he more then welcomes the suggestions.

SattaheapSea Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) This'll go on and on and not stop. you need to "Quantify". it's my suggestion. you run all those mentioned functions and modules with different contexts and platforms and present those results in a graphical format. you design your own test. it's a time consuming task.

attrayant Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I've been trying for a half hour to get this reply box to open. Finally it works now. Before it just looked like this: Also when I click on the preview button, the preview is totally blank. Immediately after posting, I tried to edit but got the pop-up message "this post can no longer be edited". And in general it's just about as slow as it possible could be without being totally down. There's also some really bizarre behavior like resizing the browser window causes all the content to crowd-up at the extreme left and occupies only about 2-3 inches of browser space, while the rest is blank. Sometimes resizing cases me to jump up to another post somewhere else in the thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works perfectly everytime on 4G using the phone. It's something to do with connection speed. Edited August 12, 2016 by Ronuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See attached screen capture before I corrected it - THIS response should be appropriately located beneath yours...is it? To answer your and Carib's original questions, it may depend on the browser you use - I'm using Chrome and even without any extensions enabled, I'm getting most of the screen.

Patsycat Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 What goes on when someone writes a post without paragraphs? It happens alot. On my screen it will be a whole block of words. Two thirds of my screen i can write on. The rest is a blank space. To my right. Blank. White. To my left, underneath my lovely ears, blank white. Fix it, it has nothing to do with our laptops or pc's. As has been said we are all not on i phones. I find it very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shunter Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) I do hope that money didn't or hasn't changed hands so as to revamp' and give birth to this new updated site.

I find it very odd. @Patsycat What is odd is that these problems only happen to some users not everyone. I'm wondering if some of our accounts have become corrupted. I've discussed another issue here with MJCM but only he and I seem to be affected (?) Regardless of your comment above, it could be "to do with your PC / laptop" inasmuch as browser/ firewall settings can cause such issues - see my post 588. Can we assume you're using Windows 7, 8.x or 10? Have you told the forum what browser you use? I strongly advocate Chrome, by the way. Have you posted a screenshot of your issue so TD can see the actual problem? Edited August 13, 2016 by VBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm seeing is that on the "Bell" it notifies you how many UNREAD notifications you have. When you click on it, that message goes away - you then click on "Show all notifications," you get a list of notifications in descending order, newest at the top. (See attached) As you say you cannot delete old ones - ones you've not read appear to be in bold, however they seem to stay bold even after you click and read them. @Tech Doctor Is this a bug? However, my notifications only go back to August 3rd so I think it may be desired behaviour?? @Tech Doctor Would you care to comment?
