question re "all boards" "latest post"

heatherw_01

There is no filter for me 100% at any zoom level BootsMullery.
I zoomed out to un-reable and still no button.

Here are my screenshots.

Uploaded them there are there are so many at different zoom levels.

There are lots of photos at different zoomed out levels all the way to 25% which is tiny and it never appears zoomed out.

Odd that you get it when you zoom out BootsMullery but I don't?

I don't use a mobile device to access the forum as a I am bg and need to use tools which aren't very useable on mobile anyway.


So I can't filter the boards then unless I use a mobile device?

Seems a bit odd for it to by only on mobile?
Can't it be added for web users too rather than mobile only users?

I have a BG boards as favourites and now I can't see any latest posts unless I unfavourite them all which I don't want to do.

I did say "This is not done by zooming in and out but by physically "grabbing" the edge of the screen and dragging it across."
You need to make the window narrower not zoom in or out. Put the cursor to the very edge of the browser window click and drag the edge of the window across until the left hand bar disappears. This is effectively putting the browser into mobile mode (as mentioned by MSE_James in his post above)
Once you have selected All posts, you can drag the window back to where it was and All posts will remain.

Sorry I misunderstood what you meant as you said "reduce the width of the page" which I thought you meant zoom.

Mobile view works fine but I can't use mobile view for BG reasons (as tiny screen means the job is much harder) and also visual disability reasons.

Would be great if the filter could be added to web view too.
Seems odd that it is just on mobile?
I know the filter can be added to web too on vanilla, so would be great if it could be added at some point.

There is nothing stopping you from reducing the screen width, changing the setting to All posts and then setting the screen back to normal as, it seems, Flugelhorn has done. You don't have to keep it permanently reduced.
Of course it would make sense to make the filter available on full screen and hopefully this will be done as soon as possible but in the meantime, surely, setting it to All Posts rather than Favourited, would be preferable.

Yes @BootsMullery has explained well what I was suggesting as a workaround - make your browser window narrow enough for the option to appear, change your setting as desired, then return to using the forum as you usually do.

This is definitely a workaround and not how things should be ideally - now we've identified the issue it's being tracked on our internal list, but I can't promise how quickly a proper fix will come.

I will just wait for the fix then.

I have my BG boards as my fav's so I can see the latest posts easily.
I would normally flick between new posts on favourites and then all boards to see new posts on my BG boards and then all posts on all the forum just to see what else is posted, so I would flick between the two a lot.

Chronic illness means sometimes doing things the easy way so I will just wait until/if it is pushed to web users too then
