Hi all,


As you may have seen, the forum software has had a big upgrade. This has been in the works for the last few weeks.


We have completed a few rounds of testing prior to the launching of the new EDF, however as with all IT projects there will likely be some teething problems.


If you have feedback you'd like to share, please do so via this thread.


Thanks,

Joe

Any chance to make the thread view count increase only once per user? Otherwise anyone could refresh all day to increase the count on a thread to make it look popular.

on the old forum it was possible to go directly to the latest post on a thread from the section index: is that possible to do now?

 

There's a small arrow next to the last poster's name on the right.

Pound signs are showing as question marks - is it US spelling?

I'm not Joe :-) but could you post an example. This is a pound sign £ (posting from Ubuntu). Does it appear as a pound to you?

Seems all £ signs from the old forum got lost in the move due to character encoding issues.

@Jenijenjen - took me a bit to work this out too - If you click on the little green tick or loudspeaker to the left of the thread title that will take you to unread posts in that thread.

 

I’m on an iPad. Is it different- can you screenshot it pls?

 

I’m unable to post a screenshot but I think you may need to be using the iPad as landscape ?

Thanks for the feedback all. I have been working my way through these in the background in the last couple of days. Still work in progress.

The "Profile" hyperlink on the right doesn't take you to your profile, it just refreshes the page you're currently on.

This should now be working. However I still need to fix the avatar link on the right navbar

Number of posts on a page is limited to 10, please make it larger eg. 40.

This has been increased

In edit mode, the "Disable BBCode" has to be manually unchecked for things like quotes to work.

The BBCode option is enabled by default now.




Some other things of note:

- The 'Sent Messages' folder will be empty and does not contain PMs you've sent prior to 10th July. They all appear in your inbox instead. However, any new PMs you send going forward will correctly placed into the Sent Messages folder.


- The link to send people PMs next to forum posts is a small and unintuitive. It does not seem to display in mobile view. I will be looking at fixing this. For the moment, you can PM someone by clicking the username of the person next to their post and pressing 'Send private message'

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
