Problems on Competitions Time since latest update (24/04)

One-Eye

Until now, the forum view appeared like this extract from Site Feedback:



Note that the three dot menu icon on the RHS only appears on threads that I started personally - ie. the third one down.

From today on Competitions Time the three dots are appearing against every thread irrespective of who started the thread.



This is annoying as the three dots were the quickest way to identify "your" threads, and it serves no purpose as clicking on the dots for someone else's thread opens a blank menu.

Please can this be reset.

Hi @One-Eye

An update yesterday seems to have caused quite a few issues. 

I'll see if it's possible for me to put in any sort of fix while we wait for info from our provider

Thanks @MSE_Stephen

Search is also behaving strangely on Competitions Time (and maybe elsewhere). I suspect there is more than one problem, but the first is:

Example:
Searching "www.nikwax.com" returns no results, but searching www.nikwax.com (without quotes) finds 15 results.

This is a total reversal of the previous situation, where searching for a domain within a URL worked better with quotes, now it doesn't work at all. I am sure this has already resulted in dupes today as posters are using quotes as they always  have done.

Thanks for letting us know. 

There was a big update to Search last night to bring some new features - One that might be extremely helpful for Comps Time, but more info on that another day.

If it's just a difference, rather than the Search getting worse, then it might just be a case of getting used to the change.

I have put in a very quick fix to hide the menu dots if you didn't create the thread, but it leaves a space. I'm reluctant to try to move the Entered/Skipped icons without testing on multiple devices, or checking with our provider.

Please let me know if this seems to cause any issues and I will remove the fix.

Looks great and working OK on the forum view

BUT - MAJOR PROBLEM

The three dots has disappeared on thread view - so I can't edit my posts eg.



This problem applies to replies as well as first posts.

Needs amending urgently.

Working OK on both forum view and thread view.

Hi everyone

You might have noticed that the icon has been changed by our provider from "..." to a circle with 3 dots.
(It was probably the preparation for this change that caused the issue mentioned above)

As well as the issues mentioned here, there was also a bug in testing where the Entered/Skipped buttons lost their formatting - but that should have been fixed before this new release.

Please let us know in this thread if you spot anything not working as expected.

Hi everyone.

This problem has been marked as fixed by our Forum Provider, so I have removed the temporary fix I put in place.

Let me know if there are any issues.
