Put me among the large number of FTers who *very* much want to the see the post quote function restored.


Unfortunately we'll have to wait until the numbers are properly captured.
Engagement down = less money = and this will be fixed 'hey presto'!

I am hoping it's on a monthly cycle, not quarterly.

What are those sites? Why do they care about likes and not replies?

I have run phpBB based intranet forums sites in the past, and participated in probably a dozen different internet communities using various forum software products. Can’t think of a single one that didn’t have quote notification functionality.

Agreed. How much of a conversation can you have if you don’t know when people are replying?

I understand that things break and unexpected issues happen. I would still like there to be a global sticky when things happen (or a sticky on each forum) detailing major known issues.

I thought their view was undefined.

Post quotes unfortunately will not be coming back for the moment

What was the reason for the change/update in the first place? Was it deliberate to remove the notification when quoted?

On both the mobile and desktop site, the continuous scroll remains broken. You go to the last page/post and seconds later it always bounces back two pages. You click on "view first unread" and it also may jump to your first unread post, but then quickly backtracks several posts.

The broken "like" feature remains.

Essentially it's because we HAVE to do this update to comply with PHP 8.4. I promise it's the internet that changed, we didn't choose this

In their defense, what might be happening is that they use vBulletin and modify it to some extent to add features. Then when a new PHP update comes along, those updates might brake break (thanks MatthewLAX! :cool:) whatever feature they added.

Brake or break, I need a break from FT. :p

Likes page should be fixed today

I floated quote notifications to the Auto team and they were interested, so I'll be working with them to move that along and get them re-implemented. I think I convinced them to just work with our existing product, instead of developing their own

I liked the above post, but you'll never know it, IBJoel :p

The like page is working again !
Thank you *like* !

Confirming the likes function is working on Safari and iOS.

IBJoel Jun 10, 2024 10:33 am

We also have a new Mentions tab in each person's user profile. You don't get a specific "notification", but if you tag someone, this can be used as something of a substitute for quote notifications for the time being
