Tormented Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 In my efforts to modernize the site, you can now hover over topics and preview the comments in place. It will show you the first post and latest post on the preview. Please let me know if you notice any glaring bugs. If the community would like more characters to be visible (it's currently set to 200 characters) then I can change that quite easily. On topics that you have yet to read, there will be two additional options to mark the thread as read as well going to the latest unread post.

Hallohallo Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 It's an alright feature. Nothing groundbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yemachu Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Came here to point out some new changes might have accidentially broken some other features, but it seems to be intentionally (re)moved. I usually headed to the first unread post by clicking on the relevant link after opening the links to it. This now requires hovering… which is quite hard to do on a device where you use a touch screen (like mobile phone). As such I would request for the old method to be reinstated (the new feature can stick around though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yemachu Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm really not sure what you mean? I've just tested on my mobile device and clicking the post link brought me to the last unread post? There used to be a hidden button on the left side of the post/view count, which - upon clicking - opened the preview of first unread and the last post; similar to the one that now opens upon hovering. I unfortunatly cannot provide a screenshot because it is now gone… although maybe with "the wayback machine". If it matters, I'm using "YCM Classic" on my mobile. Edit: Tried to show take a screenshot with "the wayback machine", but it gave errors indicating that page would not he available when I tried clicking it; most likely given the "pop-up" is personalized. Also, the feafure is nice when browsing via a device capable of hovering; just very hard to trigger on touch devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I will perform some tests and see what I can come up with, the change should not have effected it but I will endeavour to get back the button youre are referring to. And to clarify it is not intentionally removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it works similarly to the hover feature. Didn't know people were still using this, cuz I used it only once in my lifetime and forgot about it until today.

Tormented Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 This kinda glitch is still happening, but I only ever see it happen to you...Looks to be related to the image on the left hand side, I believe zooming in/out was the workaround however I will try and reduce the image dimensions to see if that resolves the issue.

Blake Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Also of note, doesn't do that on Modern. I'll check the others, but I think it does it in Vintage, too? EDIT: Classic, Memory, and Vintage all have this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tormented Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Not for me? Lol. Which theme are you trying it on?Right, so the hover doesn't function on the actual sub-forum section only on the home page. I think this is probably the only way to get it to work as it just overwrites the existing function when in a sub-forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yemachu Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 The button is back for me as well, and functions as before. It however appears to have moved slightly to the left alongside the post/view count; creating some empty space on the right. But I'm happy.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Is the registration glitch fixed btw Yeah, it should've been fixed a while ago. Only issue being that some members don't receive their (re-)validation emails, but that's mostly on them using Windows Live addresses which we've known about for the past year. Either it's a problem on our end with the site just not sending, or MSN not taking emails. I am tempted to think it is the latter because other providers take them. (If they don't get their validation emails, there's a forum that they can post in to request it. You guys can't see it unless you're unvalidated or staff, but it's there.)
