Cafe Announcements 📣 Post comments trial #2

Also to post a reply, I clicked on add image icon, got the donate page twice. 3rd time it worked. But I had to copy and paste my text, otherwise had to retype message after going back.

I'm not understanding. Why click on add image icon to reply?

And the add image linked to donate page...

Getting some really strange interactions on Android phone in this experimental forum even on regular reply box. I restarted phone, didn't correct things.

And the add image linked to donate page...

Er no. I clicked the add image feature icon (in regular message compose box) then it took me to the Donate page. Happened twice. 3rd time, now it brings up the add image box.

Seems only in this experimental thread, not the others. I don't know what else to say.

Nor me, what you describe sounds very odd. I know we have always had problems with Android including the current one with reactions which it seems the xenForo developers have pinpointed and fixed

Ok, so, the problem with the character limit, as things are implemented, is there isn't any character count, so it's hard to edit a comment down.

 

[Pete Thomas]

Sadly nothing I can do about that

2nd comment on post by same person

I've taken out the bbcode formatting, I prefer it like that given it's just a short comment

2nd comment on post by same person

Yes, that was my solution also.

Post in thread 'Slurring G down an octave' Playing - Slurring G down an octave

Maybe that's just fine

I wouldn't do two though - I was just testing it wasn't to do with trying to say more. I don't think two from same person is a good idea

I think if you have more to say then it's best with a normal reply or it becomes vey confusing IMO

I had a supervisor who used to say, "You can make things fool-proof but not idiot-proof, because idiots as so ingenious!"

Me thinks your request is an impossibility.

I've had my share of off-topic posts moderator deleted, others moved to the Off-Topic forum. I know what an idiot is from first-hand experience! 😉

That’s possibly true, but can you imagine if people wrote 3 or 4 or more post comments? I just don’t see that working

I've had my share of off-topic posts moderator deleted, others moved to the Off-Topic forum

Me too. In fact I’ve just done a bit of “curating” and I have to admit most of the OT deletions were by me.

Yeah, but mine are eloquent and witty ...

🙂

I'm offering a twofa'

Probably not.
Just to say, I wasn't complaining about the functionality; only it's a little hard without a character count. Just as feedback

 

[Pete Thomas]

I agree but I know that adding that would be expensive. It would be great though, especially one of those progress bars that’s green and then goes amber as you approach the limit and red when you are over.
