Kevin Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 The "Chicago Transit Forum" link on Chicagobus.org doesn't quite format properly when viewed in Firefox. Your browser might be caching an older version of the site's style information, which originally wasn't able to accommodate longer navigation titles.

briman94 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Your browser might be caching an older version of the site's style information, which originally wasn't able to accommodate longer navigation titles.I use Firefox (actually Waterfox) and I don't see a problem. The best I can figure out from your screen print.is that a bit of the button by the C is a bit darker. I'll post mine for comparison:If that's the case, refresh the page with Ctrl+F5. If that doesn't work, go to History and click "Clear history", and choose "Everything" for the time range. Then click "Details" and choose only the cache. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sw4400 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Due to an unexpected issue with a recent software upgrade, attachments posted prior to the Chicago Transit Forum transition are currently not available. This issue is being investigated.Sounds like the Lollipop issue with Samsung phones.... my advice if you have a Galaxy S5, Note Series phone, or any Samsung Smartphone currently running KitKat(4.4.4), Don't Upgrade if your phone says one is ready for install.At least Kevin and the Forum team are looking into their issues.... Samsung, however, is aware of the issues with Lollipop(force closing apps, overheating phones, quick-draining batteries), but has yet to apply a patch for it or seem to show care to the consumer...Rant aside and apologies for being OT, you and your team are doing a great job, Kevin.

MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Is there any way I can do an advanced search of the forum topics and posts? For example I was trying to search for posts by me to see if I was repeating information, but the closest thing I got was the drop down menu next to the search bar, which had a "User" selection. Will that do what I want?Update: The search bar changed, and now there's an "Advanced Search" option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 ...Update: The search bar changed, and now there's an "Advanced Search" option.Also, if that isn't good enough, you can do a Google search with site:chitransit.org + [search terms].But this search is much better than the old one.

Busjack Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I was thinking, after referring someone back to a chicagobus.org gallery, shouldn't there be a button on the chitransit site banners for chicagobus.org? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Occasionally when accessing the forums via bookmark/favorites bar, the little area where I can click to access my profile is missing like I'm logged out, and the sign in button is there. In fact, the site also allows me to log back in without a hitch. However the member list says I'm an active user, and if I click on a forum category, I'm logged back in and the Sign In button is back to being my profile link.

I'll see what I can find out.As a general update, the developers are working on some improvements to the post editor to improve performance (particularly on mobile) and improve the quoting engine. Timeframe is a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of logging in, I just closed and reopened the browser, and it recognized me.Also, I hope the developers are paying you to debug their software.Update: Just happened again, but hitting refresh was sufficient.

Busjack Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) When I try linking to something old in the forum, using what's in the share box of the other post, by using the link tool, such a link, I'm gettingHowever, when I just pasted the link into the message, I got the linked post.But strangely, when I just paste the link here, I get the post embedded.The link at issue ishttp://chitransit.org/topic/2976-pace-responds-to-ctas-crowd-reduction-plan/?do=findComment&comment=40301Anyway, the post to which I am referring is the last one I posted in the "If I ran transit" topic, which is http://chitransit.org/topic/3440-if-i-ran-transit-for-one-day/?do=findComment&comment=76388http://chitransit.org/topic/3440-if-i-ran-transit-for-one-day/?do=findComment&comment=76388 and the link tool quit working in this post. Update: Try link tool once more. Tool now accepts the url, but doesn't direct properly. Edited June 20, 2015 by Busjack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 The problem I mentioned above with the link tool is still happening, especially with links to other chitransit.org posts.At the moment, I used a browser addin that created a tinyurl to try to work around it.Also, as sw noted, the changeover seems to have obliterated embedded links made before the forum software was upgraded.

Busjack Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thanks. Are you aware of any other instances where this has occurred? I've looked through some other old posts but haven't found any additional occurrences.It was mostly a matter of my having remembered it coming up, and looking at topics with a long enough ago start date and finding that one. I'm not having too much luck, except that the links in this topic seem to all have been converted to the topic, instead of whatever were the separate references for Adelman's and Sims, for instance.
