No shit, blocked from the new 2018 hurricane thread as well. Makes no damn sense on that one.

When you click on a thread is there a way to go straight to the first post which you have not yet viewed?

Click on the little bullet/star next to the topic name.

These URLs are what I'm using on my bookmark bar (laptop)

Show unread from people you follow: (links go to first unread). Very similar to Subscribed Thread at the old place.

I tried it on Chrome as well and initially it looked like it worked but on the bottom it said it was reading it via offline data. Weird. A couple other guys I know are having the same issue.

What is this "shaggy" y'all speak so highly of?

SIAP - but it doesn't look like the site is loading on mobile browsers. Was working earlier this morning. 

I'm on Android, can't speak to Iphone. 

I'm on iPhone chrome browser and had some issues....cleared the cache and its working great.  may be a coincidence, I don't know.  If that doesn't work trying spraying some Windex on it.

[gecko 1104]

Only a test....no commentary intended

 

[SmokeyTheBear 5562]

All is working now. Weird.

So is this the official board going forward?  Or am I going to finally get used to it and then we are going to upgrade?

 

ETA: doesn't it feel like this board is from 1998 or so?

Sounds like software will be the same, but improvements will be made to the theme, functionality, etc... See the To-Do thread that SpiderAg started.

1998 was a hell of a good year for me, so this is fine.

[Mo Horn 8849]

So how do we embed tweets? I tried earlier, copied the link to the tweet, and then pasted that.  The link showed up but not the embedded tweet.  I copied the tweet and then poasted it and get the text, but not the embedded tweet.  Obviously many others get how to do this, but somehow I don't. I'll claim amnesty and ask for help.

[Mo Horn 8849]

Happy to see Malcom Brown at the facility. Excited to see him healthy again. #UTDline #ThisIsTexas 🤘🏼 https://t.co/YnVvvU9eh9

This didn't work

So what's the answer? I'm having the same problem with embedding tweets.

Just paste the (non-mobile) twitter link into the editor. Wait a few seconds, and the tweet should automatically embed. No further formatting necessary.

Desktop or mobile?  for mobile im just copying the link directly into the body of post and its popping right up

[Hank Kingsley 20967]

Desktop.

Desktop. 

Same way just paste and it works. Unless you are using some useless browser made by Microsoft, then who knows what it does

[Hank Kingsley 20967]

Ah got it.  I had to click using it as "plain text" once I copied link on here. 

[Bottlecap 1523]

Yeah, I can't get it to work in Chrome on my Android. It let's me look at a cached copy, but says it can't resolve the DNS for viewing live.

How do I hide Quotes from Swam?

[PvilleStang 2912]

How about mp4 embedding?  gifvs?  webms?  Should we start a new thread with all the syntax?

^ edit: looks like one exists

This layout is actually pretty nice. Our overlords have also asked for recommendations and desires about how to customize it. 

Patience. Rome was not built in a day. 

[Vic Mackey 47081]

How do we go to first unread in our Followed threads section? I don't see it at all. Only if I manually find the thread in the particular forum its at.

[PvilleStang 2912]

Click on the star or dot next to the title, takes you to the first read.

Well that is not the route I’m going to chose. 

I guess work will have to adjust to the new board like everyone else 

That's the spirit!

Not an issue yet, but just in case, how does one ignore/mute posters?

If on PC, you can also just hover the cursor over their avatar (next to any post) and the pop-up box will have a link to add them to your ignore list.

no tapa for this bitch?  didnt come up in a search.

[Buzzrock 14922]

Why is "notify me of replies" the default when replying? I've been turning it off. Do I need to turn it off?

Also interested in tips for quickly finding the equivalent of What's New, Subscribed Threads, Participated Threads views.

[retread 2951]

^ I've started using Browse>Forums. If you select the 3rd box (red square) it shows something very similar to the old What's New. You can choose which forums you want to include in that listing.

If you pick the 1st box, it will show a list of forums.

Any help with this and to also hide avatars?

[Machinator 32099]

Did some threads get nuked or something? I can't see the 2018 spring practice thread on the football board anymore. I don't see the mods' to-do list pinned thread on this board, either.

[Reese Bennett 3615]

Yep, I was wondering the same thing about the 2018 thread.
