Changes Are Happening

Administrator

Folks - I'm doing as I warned you yesterday and tweaking things on the website and/or forum. So for I've made these TEMPORARY changes today:

Social Media - I THINK I turned off social media buttons for mobile users. These would have been at the bottom of the page. They are causing Jim, and surely others, lots of grief when trying to reply as the social buttons pop up and get in the way. So I'm trying to get to the bottom of this by turning them off to see if that helps.

Gary's Garagemahal (the Bullnose bible): I turned the header at the top of the forum page off as it was also causing Jim grief. Personally I use that line all the time to get back to the main forum page, but you can get there by the Bullnose Enthusiasts link at either the top or bottom of the page. But, let's see if this helps the Android users and we'll go from there.

If these changes cause you any issues or concerns, please let me know ASAP.

Gary,
It's the edit window, not the reply window.

For whatever reason the forum was not able to load for me earlier.
Ill try to get screenshots for you so you can put things back to 'normal'

What is the "edit window" vs the "reply window"? Are you editing a reply? Maybe this is why I haven't been able to duplicate it.

EXACTLY!
And what I said from day one....

IDK why the behavior is so different, but it is.

I miss the black, clickable Title bar that used to be there.

Hi Chris!
Good to see Max pop up over here.

I'm missing the documentation navigation menu on the forum homepage....

Hopefully I can get MY issue resolved (short of buying a $1,000 phone)
Then Gary can put things back to 'normal'

Sorry!
I thought I was clear about what problem I had.

But, what is it, the second time this week the lightbulb's gone off?
I must really have an issue communicating my perspective.
Or, autism makes me see and be frustrated by incongruity.

Chris?! Yes, I miss it as well. And I'm not sure its absence is helping anything as the hamburger is still there, which generates the bar, regardless of having Gary's Garagemahal (The Bullnose Bible) in it or not. One issue though is that the text wraps, so maybe it makes the bar taller. So I'm wondering about dropping the "Gary's".

Sorry, but what "documentation navigation menu"? What have I done now?

No, that was my bad. I wasn't "listening" well. You told me, several times, but I had my mind set that it was the reply window, not the edit-my-reply window.

The garagemahal banner is deeper than just the hamburger.

When I go to the main page I used to get all the resources showing in grey.
I don't see that now.
Though, all of that is available in the resources topic.

I don't miss the clickable.
There is the link back above and below every thread I view.

Maybe I'm just not on a PC, maybe power users navigate differently.

Yes, but it wraps due to the length of the text, and as you can see here it is taller than the hamburger. Perhaps just Bullnose Bible?

Resources as in the ones in the Resources folder? They used to show????? Ok, I'm confused - again. Please explain further for the slow-to-understand.

Yes, there are the links. And since you are usually at the bottom of a thread the footer link should be easily accessible. But I used the banner link, and teaching an old dog.....

1) Perhaps. Yes that's what I was seeing.

2) Yes. I used to see a bunch of (clickable) resources in grey on the main page.

3) I'm not trying to teach an old dog.
I'm just saying how I navigate the forum on my phone

Re: Changes Are Happening

Hey guys. :)

Yeah, I'm still here. Nice to see ya, Jim. :)

I never really tried to *use* this site from a cellphone or tablet, typing on those tiny keyboards is horrific. I was just commenting on a behavioral change I saw, and later saw a big thread with Jim' s screenshots & confusion so I can understand your playing around.

I found that cickable thing pretty convenient for easily getting back "home" from anywhere, but most of my access is via a laptop (and sometimes external monitors).

I think when the dust settles we'll put that back up there, Chris. But, we need to limit it to one line and not let it wrap - on any device.
