I see that, thanks for reporting it!


I have also noticed that I can't reply to the forum because once you right your post and hit submit, it goes to the photos or something else instead because of the overlap.

Funny you should ask that question! I actually put the links at the top of the page that were the most frequently accessed. But, I agree, it seems likely that the forums would be more accessed than the Areas & Ranges. I'll make that swap.

I can't understand what you're saying Scott. Can you post a screenshot?

OK, the FORUM link is now in the header.

I agree with displaying latest posts on the front page. Bob Sihler mentioned this to me many months ago. I want to redo the entire front page again. It doesn't render too well on mobile. I'll add in the latest forum posts when we work on that redo.

No matter which way you scroll, either up and down, there is no way to hit submit. It will either click on What's New, Photos, etc. instead since that is overlain over the submit button. It doesn't matter if you scroll up or down, you still can't submit a post to the forum.

Ah, right, that's on mobile. For clarity, please let me know if you're looking on mobile or desktop. I noticed that issue as well. The person I hired to help is offline today, but I'll get him to fix that ASAP tomorrow. Thanks for reporting that one!

I sent my most recent page - Pine Butte - to Scott Surgent, and he said it was empty? It shows up on my feed as the completed version. Is it not showing up for anyone else?

Is he logged in? Usually there is a day lag for page viewing when someone is not logged in.

Allows you to change/add/eliminate the quote at the bottom of your forum posts etc.

Should be here:

Pages are cached for up to 16 hours (for users who are not logged in), so if the changes were made recently, he could have been seeing a blank cached page. I just looked while not logged in and the page looks good to me.

Puma concolor wrote:That comes up for me as a profile page editor. Before the last SP upgrade, there was a different page to which you could navigate off of the forums. There a tab in the upper left corner of the forums pages.

Old discussion here ...

Not a big deal at all. Maybe a 1.5/10 on the scale of importance. More of a point of curiosity.

Do you mean this page?:
ucp.php

That is still accessible under the "Useful Links" menu on the forums.

I tried to submit some photos this morning - to no avail. Please delete the top row. (It seems like I can't do it myself.)
