Where do we report issues with the new forum?

To those of us who miss the Recent Posts feature having the full text of recent posts without having to click in (my main mode of forum navigation), I downloaded NetNewsWire, an iOS RSS client, pulled up Recent Posts, clicked the RSS icon, then loaded and saved the RSS feed from it into the reader. Now I can open a recent post feed and swipe through the full text just like the old days. Images don’t work but you can click in to see them.

@mclaincausey Thanks for the heads up, will look into this. Still not getting used to the Recent Posts topic list.

Also, I just flagged a spammer. What caught my attention is the way the postings are phrased. The last one a few days ago was also pretty specific in regard to where it was posted and how it was an actual reply to the thread. Is there anything in regard to the new software that enables that kind of behaviour? Almost seems like someone is using ChatGPT to create spam posts...

@Matt @tody Thanks for notifying us. I deleted the posts and banned the user.

Thanks Dennis. Also, is it no longer possible to post a single emoji? I tried and tried and it told me there had to be at least three characters.

[goosehd]

:). It looks like that to me. Adam will probably confirm when he’s back on.

I have tried customizing my notifications settings on incoming "Chats" with an email and notification, but I am not getting emails when new chats come in. Checked my spam folder too just to be sure. Is this feature not functioning? Or did I mess up the customization?

@Bums_Fan , you're not alone. I'm having the same issue.

@Matt

I've edited post settings so now 2 characters will work

When you are on the "unread topic" page, the right column with the most recent post has the entire rectangle as a button that's clickable. anywhere else on the forum you have to hover over the specific typed hyperlink.

Any reason why, @AdamJ?

[AdamJ]

Unread is geared up to take you to that thread as its main intent, where as the category page otherwise allows you to either click on the thread, or that member depending on which you'd prefer to see @jordanscollected

I'm unable to start a new BST thread. I'm over 20 posts and have bought and sold many times from BST in the old version. Please advise.

Thanks

Try changing your title from Raw and Unwashed. I don’t know if it will help as I’m just guessing.

If it does work, I’ve learned something new.

[Alex]

That will work, @proteinn @goosehd

[goosehd]

Thanks Alex!

This post is deleted!

@Alex works now thanks!

@Alex I posted a question/observation about email notifications and new chats previously. Wondering if you or someone else on the crew knows the answer. I have set my notifications under settings to receive an email and notification for new chats. So far it hasn't worked. Is the feature not functioning or am I doing something wrong?

[Alex]

@Bums_Fan I have notifications turned on for chats, so can you drop me a PM now to test if I experience the same as you, please?
