I can't delete notifications.

 

Am I the only one with this problem? Can someone help...............

 

Any response?

 

I tried asking for assistance with this a number of times. And I'm just not sure why I'm being constantly ignored by everybody.

As I told you in a PM a week ago there's no delete option in the software. Best we could do is set them to purge after a month. 

 

Again not sure what happened, but something got messed up in my PM box shuffle on my end. Anyhow, thanks for clearing that up here.

Problem:

 

When in a thread, the notification that someone else has replied pops up and makes a chime.  This isn't controlled via notification settings, it just happens when you have a thread open.  No problems there - it's actually kind of handy.

 

BUT, I use remote desktop through Citrix to do work things.  WHen this notification happens, it freezes my session, even though RDC is a totally separate app from my browser (though technically it's launched through the Citrix browser plugin.) 

 

It's consistent - as soon as that chime occurs, my session is frozen, and most of the time requires killing a process and going through the whole logon process again, which might not even work due to how Citrix maintains session info on the backend (it doesn't know that the process has been killed on the front end.)

 

It would appear that this is a browser / Citrix issue, rather than a board issue, but since it's not practical to adopt a new browser, is there any way to disable all notifications, including the "new reply" one?

After getting used to it, I'm really liking the update. The only thing bugging me at the moment is not being able to go into HTML mode with posts, but I can live.

 

I really like the new quoting system, although a bit clunky at times it prevents the pages and pages of quote waterfalls from happening, and that's definitely a plus.

I know it seems like a little thing, but would it be possible to get more detailed timestamps on posts? Like a specific date and time for posts rather than "Posted 19 minutes ago" or "Posted on 2 Feb 2014"? It would be helpful for some time-sensitive stuff in the fantasy sports forums.

This may have already been covered, and if it has I apologize (and could you direct me to where the fix is shown?), but is anyone else finding the quote feature to be an absolute nightmare? Every time I want to quote a post, it keeps tossing in other posts I've previously quoted in other threads. Worse than that, I can't even delete the old quote boxes. I'v tried several different browsers, have restarted just about everything I can think of, and still nothing.

The new board software tries to be helpful by remembering quotes, but I find it to be a disaster. It doesn't work at all on Firefox Android (though I've switched to Chrome Android when browsing this site). Plus there are times when I quote a post, and it's pulling up some old quoted post I started to reply to a week ago, but decided not to.

 

I get why the board "saves your work," but I wish it didn't. I never find it helpful.

A lot of the issues may or may not be addressed with a patch that was released with the board software.  Only thing there is that Chris is the only one with the ability to install it and he's a bit busy caring for a newborn at the moment.

To get rid of the old quotes just move your mouse into the quote box, hold down the command key and right click with your mouse. The options will pop up. Just choose "remove quote." Once the old one is gone, reply again and the new quote should show up.

Those solutions don't work in mobile, which is where I have the most difficulty with the new board software.

 

I have the same issue in iPhone with Safari and Chrome.  If you start to quote a post but then abort, you're pretty much stuck because that quoted post is forever in the reply box.  To make it worse, things like "select all" and other standard text shortcuts simply don't work in the mobile reply boxes.

 

I have not seen it where it saves a quote from a post that I actually submitted.  Submitting a post with a quote always clears that box out for me so I can continue posting.  It's only when I abort a post... which believe it or not, is around 50% of the time (though probably only half of those contain quotes.)
