ASF Site Performance

[myrtie100]

Hi Joe
The mobile sites Whats New button isn't working for me anymore. It registers the search button when I click on it.
So then I try to search for posts since my last visit which comes up with nothing.
So I change the search to since yesterday and sort last post first. This shows a number of pages not sorted as requested and when I try to view the other pages it says there are no entries.
Is there something wrong at your end or is it my phone?

Hi Myrtie, what phone and browser are you using? It shouldn't matter I guess but it's always nice to know.

I just checked using Chrome on an iPhone 4S and everything seems OK. Try clearing your browser's cache and browsing history, then power down your phone and give it another try. In Chrome this is: Settings -> Privacy -> Clear Cache and Clear Browsing History.

Sorry should have said!
Chrome on my android Samsung.
I did try clearing the data, but didn't power down. I'll try that.

No. Still not working for me :-(

Sorry to hear it Myrtie. I'm not sure what the problem is to be honest. Come back to the phone later and give it another try. Sometimes minor issues like these turn out to be glitches that somehow fix themselves. Test it again tonight or tomorrow and let me know if you are still having trouble.

 

[myrtie100]

It's still not working properly. I think it has something to do with a recent chrome update.
I'm using Firefox instead without any issues

 

[Joe Blow]

Thanks for the feedback Myrtie. Unfortunately, I still haven't managed to figure out what the problem is. If others are experiencing similar issues while browsing ASF using a phone or a tablet please let me know in this thread. Thanks!

Often I look at old posts

I select a member and then view forum posts

It will come up with the number of pages of posts the member has made, but I cannot view the earliest posts

Is the number of pages wrong or I can not access posts that far back?

Hi fiftyeight, this has been an issue for some time and although I have done some investigating in the past I have been unable to find a solution. I will look into it again today and let you know if I can figure out what the problem is.

Thanks Joe, greatly appreciated

The News Headlines widget on the front page has been temporarily removed while issues with it are debugged and fixed.

My apologies for any inconvenience.

When I get an email notification of a reply to to a thread the link takes me to where I last was I think, it should take me to the latest post.

I'll take a look and see if I can figure out how to change this. In any case, ASF will be migrating to a new forum platform in the coming weeks and there will be a new notification system to get used to. I will take a closer look at how it works and see if it links to the last unread post or the most recent post.

Thanks Joe, good luck with the upgrade

Hi John, I am happy to help you adjust your Excel sheet or create an alternative to make sure that your NYSE Dow Jones finished today at: thread continues as it has before. Please contact me via PM.

Well done Joe and co for putting the 'like' option in.

That will be hugely attractive for posters and will attract many new users.
So often you want to say you like something rather than reply.

But most of all it's great to get feedback on what you post and groom your activity to peoples predispositions. People get addicted to the 'likes' as well so it encourages them.

I couldn't find any way of logging in on my phone when I checked in last night. Not sure whether I missed the obvious or it is an issue.

You had the greatest range of emoticons ever, it would be good if you could get them back some how.

Notting, the mobile login is the little right pointing arrow on the right hand side under the ASF logo.

Thanks Galumay.

Also Joe and co. I think it would be better if the 'new replies' tab came up first by default rather than the 'new topic' tab.
The new replies are more interesting and more likely to get people jumping in, imo. Thanks.
