Site update - Thank you Shaun

[Shaun]

While composing a message I find that if I highlight a word I want to move and drag it to where I want it to be it gets dumped at the end of the message instead.

I presume it's not supposed to do this?

TBH Phil I don't think you're supposed to drag highlighted text, but instead cut it and then move the cursor and paste it (CTRL+C to Cut - CTRL+V to Paste ... or use right-clicks an select from the menu).

TBH Rick I don't think you're supposed to drag highlighted text,

Oh, that's what I've always done.

but instead cut it and then move the cursor and paste it (CTRL+C to Cut - CTRL+V to Paste ... or use right-clicks an select from the menu).

Tried that while writing this reply and it works, so I shall have to change my style.

It's possible the previous editor allowed you to do it - having never tried it I don't really know - but the editor changed with the upgrade so some of the functionality is a little different.

I wasn't going to mention that to the site founder.

I've only just noticed ... too busy flipping from job to job at the mo ... ... sorry Rick Phil.

On quoting in a signature, the name of the member quoted does not appear in the signature.
As in mine, it should say "Fubar said (....)"
I'm copying and pasting

BBCode quotes are no longer enabled in signatures. If you want to attribute text in your signature you'll have to manually prefix it with something like - Fubar said: or Fubar wrote:

@Shaun - for some reason I can't delete smilies when I'm using the tablet (chrome). Instead it deletes the letter/symbol immediately before the smiley

Okay, let me try it on the iPad - there may be a trick to it ... hmm, works okay on the iPad in Chrome.

Let me grab the daughter's Nexus (Android) tablet and try that - back in a mo ...

 

[Shaun]

Hmm ... okay, well it's definitely harder to do, but it is doable ... tap the smiley you want to delete (an image overlay will appear with the URL of the smiley image) - click the cross to close it, then press the spacebar to insert a space (which should overwrite the smiley and make it disappear). Not ideal, but it does the trick.

I'll see if this has been reported at XenForo and if not let the developers know - however it could just be a quirk of Chrome for Android that the devs can't work around (yet).

Cheers,
Shaun

 

[Shaun]

Yup - already found and reported - here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/smiley-deletion-problem.52143/

It is a browser issue that may be fixed in a later release, so for now just use the workaround.

Yeah, great update. It's so nice to have a version that loads properly and is easy to use on Blackberry's default browser; so much less frustrating. Thanks.
