Is the site still a blank page for you while using mobile Safari? To my knowledge, this was fixed.

If you have accessibility/medical concerns, I'm happy to PM you about what precisely I can bring to the dev team to improve those areas. I'm not quite sure about the relevance of your post from 2015, although I couldn't read the NYT article because I'm maxed out for the month.

No, it does not. It takes me to the last page of the thread, which is the first posts. I have to click on "First" to get back to my post. Try changing your settings to "newest first" and you'll see what I mean.

Just now, after my reply, I was taken to "page 6 of 6" which included posts 1-12, and not the page containing my post 212, which would be "page 1 of 6" with my settings.

IBJoel that’s the same issue I previously described and that you said tech had moved to higher priority to fix.

Useless suggestion. I want to enter post #213 , and your software is creating a bogus link. There is unfortunately no way to avoid this bug without editing the post after the fact (which I did not do this time to demonstrate how broken this "feature" is).

Yeah, there was a lot of confusion about this and I worked it out. Tech is already working on it, as of 5:40am today.

But it's... not a bug. Using a pound/hashtag symbol creates a tag. If you want to link to a specific post, that post has its own URL that you can copy. Or if you just want to denote a post without linking, you can just type "213". Creating a tag also doesn't interfere with understanding your message.

EDIT: Let me test one thing
test 1: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/31519458-post214.html
test 2: #214
test 3: #214

OK, so even if you type "#214" and link it to a specific post, that post link will override the tag link.

Hi Joel, Thanks for the reply. The problem is that for this post, I was stupid enough to type "live" directly into the thread, and not copy/pasting from an off-line text editor. I have some of the text which I recreated again (this time using the notepad) that I will share with you by email.
Basically, I was typing some text, then adding a couple pictures (resized in a 1200x900 format so that the size does not exceed 500kb per pic) and then continuing to type, add some more pics, then type again etc... until I figured out I wanted to change something at the beginning of my post and realized the content was no longer there. Actually, most, but not all the content typed or uploaded disappeared. Hope that my explanations make sense.
I used in the past the autorestore feature, which I would have been VERY happy to see yesterday, but there was no way to find it.
I tried later on typing the small content I recreated and uploaded a few pics, but the smae thing happened again...

You said this was using FireFox? Do you get it everytime you type anything? Or Any time you upload anything? Or just at random?

This should now be fixed. As always, clear cache if it's still wonky and try again.

It's not fixed.

Sorry, that's my bad. It said they found a fix, but they're bug-testing on Staging, not the Live site. I read the log incorrectly.

Smilies:

Not sure if posted already, but there's an issue with the Smilies too: for some reason, after a while (not sure if random) if you click on the Smilies, the possible selection multiplies; i.e. there's the exact same Smilies available, but they are displayed multiple times.

...testing

...testing more

Apparently this issue happens after editing a post: the multiplication of Smilies is in direct proportion of how many edits the post receives:

IBJoel Unfortunately, there is a new glitch that I've now noticed. We get the thread highlighted in our MyFlyerTalk list of threads even after we are the ones who made the latest post--that's a glitch. We know we already posted, of course!

It kind of is a bug though, and it has been a very annoying one.
I simply see no purpose to it. There's NO WAY anyone would want to know who else posted something with No. 1, or whatever.
Maybe this hashtag "feature" could be removed for numbers???

As mahasamatman previously mentioned; this is NOT new to this latest update, but would be nice if it could be corrected.
It's VERY annoying, especially for new members who may think there is a clickable link in a post with additional information, when there is not.

This would be some example:

"So, I was #1 on the upgrade list, but then almost miraculously, just 5 minutes before boarding I dropped to #3, then #14 . 10 minutes later I
was #1 again. Why? By the way, I feel sorry for the last on the upgrade list, as they were at #1574!"

See how those links appear? I would now normally go back into EDIT mode, and delete those links manually.
(I did this edit for Number 3 in the above example (removed the hyperlink), and changed the number 1574 from 123, but it still reverts to hashtag 123.)

REALLY QUITE ANNOYING!

snapshot of my post #197 upthread


partially to see what works and what doesn’t work; partially to reiterate that I fear we are fighting a losing battle

for a number that refers to a post within the thread, the auto-hashtag is fine; however, for a number that refers to ANYTHING ELSE, the fact that it sends you to the upthread post is **COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY USELESS**
