Apologies if this has been asked already but I had a quick look and didn't find any info...

If someone gives you rep, and leaves a comment in so doing, is there a way to respond? I feel rude not saying thanks, but I don't know how, other than via pm I guess...

You can't respond to a rep. You can PM them or find a post to rep them in return.

Approved... it got caught in the spam detector. Wasn't supposed to scan posts by members with >5 posts but I'll look into that.

When attempting to respond to a thread, at least on my phone, when I click upload media it won't let me select "Choose File". It just drops a cursor in that box, almost as if the button is de-activated. I have to go into the media section of the website to actually upload something.

What phone & browser?

Having search this thread be a checkbox on the magnifying glass global search instead of atop the thread in question is confusing.

It's confusing to have ONE place to search everything, no matter where you are or what you want to search?

I think I'm going to chalk that up to "It's confusing because I'm used to vBulletin."

I think Westy or someone mentioned it in another thread...or maybe this one. The section on the front page shows the most recent created threads, is there anyway to switch it to display the most recent updated threads?

New Posts is clobbered by notifications on iPhone 5S portrait layout. Only happens when scrolled down with floating toolbar. First load when at top of page with RM banner works fine.

Any possibility you could take a screen shot? I've got 2 Android phones, an Android tablet and an iPad but no iPhone to test with.

Ah. Yeah, there seems to be something at issue with the user elements of the nav bar - there's one other complaint about this. I've been working with a developer of some of the javascript framework on some speed issues I've noticed so I've been holding off updating the skin.

I'll get on it.

The "Users" moderation queue has one notification showing, yet there is nothing there when I click the link. This is bothering me. :mad:
PEBKAC error.

There was a user awaiting moderation.

I have banned the user, so that user is no longer awaiting moderation. I suspect he or she was anxious to regale us with tales of cheap Viagra and large penises.

Sooooo I'm not sure if it's just me but I feel like my time spent on RM has significantly dropped since the new layout. Maybe it's a good thing because I'm spending less time on here and more time doing productive things, but I'm wondering if it's just me?? I used to get on here multiple times a day, at least 3-4, now I probably check RM 3-4 times a week, at least that's what it feels like.

I'm not sure if it's quantifiable or not, but are there any statistics on usage before and after the switch?

maybe it's caus' the new layout is so much more efficient, you can get your business done so much more quickly...

Some of it is quantifiable, some of it is not... part of the cutover involved an absolutely massive reduction in spam registrations, so there was a drop-off in "active users" that was actually a drop off in spam bots.

That said, probably the best statistic (least affected by spam) is new posts per week/month and that doesn't seem to be down - it's dead on from this same time last year.

Threads started by an ignored member are invisible on the forum thread listing page. This is at least true in the lounge. (Example: I can see iTuesday when not logged in or via direct link. Can't see shit when logged in.)

So... content from ignored members is... ignored?

Shocking! :D

Scroll down to the bottom of the thread list and click "show ignored content."

vB behavior of showing it was originated from an ignored member but nevertheless showing it in the list was much more sane, IMO.

Plus I read from New Posts 99.9% of time, and there is no corresponding option.

I've not read the thread, but...

My iphone 4s (safari) jumps up and down on RM. Pretty annoying. What gives?

Jumps up and down... while loading? After loading while scrolling?

There are a couple flaky issues with the theme framework that I've got ironed out in the beta environment but family issues have kept me from actually finishing the testing. Hopefully will have the new framework rolled out in the next couple weeks and I think it'll fix the vast majority of these quirks.

Hard to describe. I'll scroll down to the bottom of the thread, and it will jump back up to a particular earlier post. I'll scroll back to where I want to be, then it will jump up again. I don't think it happens while loading.
