What does that mean? Based on your notification settings, you can receive notifications from your browser even if the forum is not the active window/tab.

MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Although the interface looks the same for making a post/reply, the buttons in the second section of the top bar seem to be mislabeled. For example, clicking on the smiley face for emoticons brings up the interface for code input, and clicking on the chain to add a link brings up the emoticon selection panel instead. I've attached a screenshot below showing what hovering over the smiley face looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there might be some kind of weird caching going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, the only way to fix it is to clear your browser cache. To do this in Safari while still maintaining other web site data: Safari menu > Preferences. Advanced tab. Check "Show Develop menu in menu bar". Develop menu > Empty Caches. Reload the page and you should see the proper icons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad there wasn't a way to import more emoticons, on vpforums they have some cool ones that are funny to watch, like a guy banging his head into a wall, or clapping in applause, or beating a dead horse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have those on airliners dot net as well. One of my favorites is the emoticon where it looks over and ducks to avoid an apple being thrown at it.

Like there's one where a emoticon falls on his back LHAO, or one where a emoticon holds up his beer as if saying "here, here". Just funny little things. We might as well have a good time while we're here. Reading words with no emoticons is boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briman94 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Most of us can probably just use Emojis Anybody with Windows 10, OS X, iOS, or Android can see them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I just noticed that if you select something in a post, you get a "Quote this" popup. Much better than having to use delete after quoting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, putting the YouTube URL in url tags would make it show as a YouTube player, but it didn't, so I tried media tags, which makes it show as a YouTube player in the edit box but not in the actual post. EDIT: Editing and re-saving the thread a few times seems to have fixed it. Seems like thread editing has issues. Also, I don't see an option for "turn off text formatting" anymore...you used to be able to edit the BBcode of an existing post, but I don't see a way to do that anymore. This problem reared its ugly head for me just now, but on the bright side, it's a hit or miss situation. The Youtube link is just a link sometimes, but if I try editing the text and keep pasting the link, sometimes the embed works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busjack Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 As illustrated by the following, it appears that the system somehow nests replies in an unintended manner, maybe because the prior reply was still a draft and not posted, or maybe a system error. The following illustrates what was saved the first time, and then what I intended. I then deleted the first post in the actual forum.

Busjack Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Just wondering if there was an upgrade. I was getting that the address could not be found (for about 2 hours) and now the "Unread Content" looks different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw4400 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Moving this post here.... @Kevin, can you help with investigating and solving this issue? I did make an emergency roster thread, but I'd really like to keep the current. As it stands, I can't update Forest Glen or North Park, as I get this message.... I tried to initially do a edit after 1a, and this afternoon after 12p.... same messages occurred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Jazz Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I know this forum software supports the use of themes. As a suggestion, why not introduce themes representing the different CTA rail lines (Red, Blue, Green, Pink, Orange, Purple, Brown, and Yellow, with the Green Line theme being a lighter shade of green than the default green theme)? I think it would be nice to have (you can take a wild guess which theme I would use). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmon757 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 There are photos and videos leaked on behalf of the death of Jessica Hampton. I know all of you wouldn't post anything that's graphical but I have to do my job by keeping this forum clean and appropriate for everybody. So therefore and effective immediately, anybody who deface this forum by posting anything graphical, including today's incident, will be suspended from posting and possibly banned from this forum indefinitely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Effective immediately, at least 25 posts are required before members can create new topics. As always, please reply to existing relevant topics if possible before creating a new topic. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I don't know if this has been mentioned before:* If you start a reply, but don't finish it, the system saves it, which I suppose is a good idea if there is a malfunction. However, if you come back and want to reply to something else in the same topic, your draft is still in the reply box, and it is very difficult to delete the quote box from the reply box. Instead it usually is necessary to submit the reply, then use Options to delete it. _______ *I did mention a variation of it above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
