Pat Riot Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Anyone else tired of the latest update here on the Wire? - I cannot paste links easily on my iPhone. - I cannot quote sentences, only entitled posts. Anyone having issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 I reported my own post so a Mod would see this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I've noticed a few quirks that I don't much care for. I can quote parts of posts, but it doesn't give the attribution, just the text. And when a notification pops up on the bottom of the screen I see a black bar with the avatar, but no text telling me if it is someone responding to the thread I'm reading or to one of my posts. I think I'll survive, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I worry that complaining can bring something worse. first Law of Wingwalkers and computer administrators, don’t let go of what you have until you have hold of something better.

Eliphalet R. Moderator Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Everyone's having issues even Mods and Admins. There is a maintenance update to fix critical issues in the works now. Hope the System Administrators get the patch installed soon! I'll let you know as soon as I hear more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. O. R. Vet Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Well I hate to burst your bubble there Pat Riot but some of us ARE having problems with Wire. When I leave a post by some one and want to look at another thread, my android tablet locks up and will not scroll up or down. I have to leave the forum and reenter to move to the new thread.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 The only problem I can see is when I quote someone just the quote shows up not who it's from. In fact all the quotes have no name attached. That's different then it was a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Your name did not show up either. I'm on win7, Firefox 71. FF71 has introduced awful problems in Print Preview, but that is not related to the board problem here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Yeah, it is a board-software thing, which is an indication of "lack of final testing" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliphalet R. Moderator Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 When you're reading a thread, and someone replies while your looking at it, all you get is a black bar at the bottom. It used to show who had replied, and when you clicked on it, it would update the thread to show those replies. That no longer functions. One of the difficulties is that the System Administrators and Servers are not SASS and not located at SASS Headquarters. So, everything takes a bit longer to get done. Hang in there.

Pat Riot Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Something else I have found. I cannot paste links i have accessed through DuckDuckGo but I can if accessed through Google. That is a little weird. This is from a Google search. https://us.glock.com/en/pistols The same website link cannot be pasted if I go through DDG.

Pat Riot Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Okay here’s another weird one. If you try to quote someone, as I did above, if you do not hit “return” to drop down to comment and instead try to edit the quote by deleting lines the system will not allow you to drop down and add a comment I keeps you from adding lines outside the quote box. I will have to try this in a PC to see if it’s the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from a Google search. https://us.glock.com/en/pistols The same website link cannot be pasted if I go through DDG. https://us.glock.com/en/pistols Another Search Engine option is Startpage https://www.startpage.com/ If you prefer Google’s search results and just want more privacy, try Ixquick’s Startpage. Startpage searches Google for you – when you submit a search, Startpage submits the search to Google and returns the results to you. All Google sees is a large amount of searches coming from Startpage’s servers – they can’t tie any searches to you or track your searches. Startpage discards all personally identifiable information. Like DuckDuckGo, Startpage doesn’t use cookies, it immediately discards IP addresses, and it doesn’t keep a record of searches performed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use DuckDuckGo all the time. I just think it's odd that pages found through Google will paste but pages through DuckDuckGo will not. This was not the case before the "update".

Pat Riot Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 This thing is still acting screwy but I doubt anything will get done before New Year’s Day. Today it seems like the Wire locks up. I tried creating a thread twice earlier and it just wouldn’t happen. When I tried responding to posts it would lock up. This is my fourth attempt making this post. Son of a....the link for adding photos is locked up. I have some screen shots to display so I can show what I saw.
