Reply missing and toolbar non functioning

[Shaun]

Okay, so it looks like the smiley add-on was responsible for the disappearing reply button. I've added some formatting which seems to have fixed it and switched it on again - hopefully we're back to normal service again now (I've applied it on the politics site too for anyone having the same problem over there).

Cheers,
Shaun

Sorry for starting your year with this.

Thanks for sorting this out @Shaun

Further problem.
If I click on a link to a photo there is no way to go back to the thread. There is no way to close the photo, and using the back button closes down the app. The thread then has to be found again.

You mean an embedded photo in a post?

If you click on it you should see an enlarged version of the photo and should get a white X on black background up in the top right of the screen to take you back to the post. Back button takes you back to wherever you were before you entered the thread.

Top right should look like this.

If you aren't seeing the white x, then that's not much help. Or maybe I've completely misunderstood

That line of tools doesn't appear. It did before the up date, but doesn't now.
Yes, I would normally click the white cross and that would close the picture and send me back to the thread.
Now the only way to close the photo is to hit the back button, and as said - that closes everything down.
Here's a screenshot and if I click on the "View attachment 628005" on my PC the picture opens up in a new tab; no problem.
On the app the pic opens up but not in a new tab - it overides the thread, and there is no way to go backwards.
Seems to happen when I click on a link inside a quote. Yes, I could trawl backwards to find the original post, but that never used to be the case.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Ah ha, you are using a phone. Not sure by what you mean by "the app". I didn't know there was a CC app.

Just for reference I just used my phone navigated to the post above and clicked on "view attachment 628005". It opened up the picture with a black background (no controls showing). If I swiped "back" (finger going right to left) it took me back to the thread.

For reference my phone is a Moto g9 plus, running Android 11 accessing CC using Chrome

Hope that helps. It probably doesn't

 

[Darius_Jedburgh]

I didn't know there was a CC app.

The app suddenly appeared after the famous update. I was almost forced into downloading it. A big banner in front of the browser page that just kept appearing, so I gave in and downloaded it. Don't know how many others are using it. It doesn't appear in Playstore, or at least I couldn't find it. Thought I'd go all modern and stop using the browser.
I'm on PC now and as mentioned no problems.
Maybe it's something in the app.
Wouldn't surprise me - all the recent problems were user problems...until they weren't!

 

[Dogtrousers]

It never offered me an app. Maybe it's an apple thing. If it does I'll be sure to refuse

 

[Darius_Jedburgh]

Nope. Can't be Apple. I'm on Android.

I have the App on Android here. I downloaded it but mainly use the 'normal' Web browser version.

@Shaun does CC have an app?

 

[Pat "5mph"]

@Darius_Jedburgh I tried CC on my Samsung phone and on the tablet, none wanted me to download an app.
Could you maybe uninstall the app, access CC just from the browser?

 

[Pat "5mph"]

@Darius_Jedburgh could you also screenshot the app's shortcut, please?
I mean the icon you use to access CC.

Not altogether sure what you mean.
I was given the app after the famous update. It has an icon similar to every other app. I just click on this.
It's better than the browser; at least it us for me. It is just easier to use.
