Forums Collapse Feature Broken

[admin]

Just letting you know that I know about it and that we're trying to fix it.

 

[mikethompson]

Ahhh, so its not just me. Good to know!

 

[python]

Bump for anyone who hasn't seen this.

For the slow child in he tech class, what is a collapse feature? (Born too soon.)

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I read this earlier, but I am not sure what it means. What is collapsing?

 

[cosmicfolklore]

@mso489 I think we posted at the exact same time. Ha ha

Er, I appreciate being informed, and now I'd like to be told what the Collapse Feature is/does, and how have I managed to not know about it?

 

[python]

At the top of the forum page, to the right of where it says "Main Category" , there is a little arrow that points up (it looks like this ^ ). If you click that, it will collapse the main categories and show the recent posts.

 

[python]

But obviously, you won't be able to try it now because it's broken .

It is very handy though. I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

I actually had a name for it but, it wasn't "collapse".



Probably sounds better than"drop-down-thingy", tho.

I always click the "forums" then "new posts"
this still seems to work?

Yes, that still works.

Thanks python. That 'splains it. As I pick up these details, I think by the age of 114 I'll have basic competence with a few devices, even if they are antiques.

Good thing it's not just me.

Another thing I noticed is that when I click on the Reply link on someone's post it scrolls all the way down to the bottom of the page, which shows me the large footer but obscures the posts area: I don't remember this happening before to-day. Previously the bottomest element on the browser's window was the bottom of the body area: right where it reads Contact Us | Terms and Rules | &c.

Here it is again:




Really annoying: it even obscures par of the Quick Reply field! ?

On mobile? It has always done that to me on the mobile version. Whenever I click reply, I have to scroll the screen up a tiny bit to get into the text box.

Nope. On a PC.

I believe the weight of all the new ads have crushed the little arrow thingy.

Oh, then I have no idea.

It is only a tiny, little arrow, after all. ?

Need a super arrow for all that extra content!

Seriously, though, it's possible that the extra code might have interfered with something, but they're already working on it. ?
