I'm sure that IB staff will respond this week following the long holiday weekend. There's no need to keep asking :)

Thanks.

I noticed this a while ago but only got around to posting it now.

The breadcrumb navigation tool at the top of every page is missing a separator between the thread name and the sub-forum

Here's the example for this very thread:


Support&ServicesTechnical Support and Feedback Issues related to 24 October 2022 upgrade


Funnily enough when I paste it here, yes the newline characters exist at the end of the respective sub-forum links. So it's there, just not rendering correctly in the browser.

Also, this means that the sub-forums are no longer clickable so you can't navigate back to the sub-forum when finished reading a thread.

I have been wanting to post about that for a while. On my phone it ends up like this. Which is a bit annoying from a navigational perspective.

I think there might be another thread on this topic - you are definitely not the first to complain as it is driving me crazy as well.

ETA: aaaaand scene!

So this forum link thing is really starting to bother me - I have no shortcut to get back to the forum root from a thread by clicking the forum title that was once a link. Now it's just black text without the hyperlink function

Until this is fixed, please read the wikipost for workarounds

An update: FlyerTalk just got the required PHP update, so once we finish up the rest of the sites in the department, we can work on this. All sites HAVE to be done today

Ah is that why some threads are now getting


ArgumentCountError: 5 arguments are required, 4 given in ..../includes/functions.php on line 3127

Yeah. Are some still showing that for you? If so (and you hit the same problem in a private/incognito window), could you link me to a couple?

I didn't try private/incognito. But here's a thread where I just had the issue:

Top navigation also broken, everywhere. These used to be links, to go back to the parent. Now just bold text. I need to go all the way back to the main forums list to go from good to bad OMNI.

While waiting for the top navigation to be fixed, there is a working Back to Subforum link at the bottom left of the page.

OK. There's always the back button as well. But many of us are trying not to get back to the forum/subform but the parent of the forum/subform (or higher in the hierarchy of fora but not necessarily going all the way to the top and then having to work our way down sub-branches).

Where did the "back" button links disappear to?
 
If I was on AA''s sub-forum there used to be a link at the top to take me "back" to the Airline forum and quickly navigate to BA, etc. Basically the links were a step back in the forum directory.

They have been gone for a couple of weeks now.

Now, I have to click "Directory" and I have to go manually find the Airline forum....then click BA.

There are no links here anymore.
