on desktop: posts can be quickly found by hovering over their user name, new window pops up and then click on the post numbers under "messages". if you want threads only, click on the users avatar, go to the right of the screen, click "find" and select posts or threads. it will give you all the users stuff.

mobile is the same.

Curious, Is infinite scroll an option?

Thought that was a user defined setting but seems not. i did some searching on the subject. The way the forum keeps track of post locations has to be done on a global scale (the whole forum) oterhwise if you copy a link from a post to share its location (like a hyperlink to a single post), if another user has a different post per page, it will act like a broken link. Tapatalk allow infinite scrolling but it works different than the actual forum.

ill keep an eye out for an add-on that allows it.

Hm how do i do that cause its just fitting it to my phone. I cant zoom out with my fingers

click on my avatar in the new window again. takes you to the area that will have "Find" off to the right

Ok, UNICODE stuff should be fixed. this is like the things Dave posted in the beginning. if you see any more AFTER doing a cache clear and restarting your browser, let me know. im not finding any in any old posts thus far.

I’m noticing an issue when using an apostrophe. It seems to just not show up. I am using the black version. Here’s a test.
2004 ‘04. Wondering who can and can’t see it. I wrote apostrophe04 after 2004.

Can see actual '04 just fine on "new oil" bright screen. The apostrophes in this software are very very small.

Sorry to pile on, James and Fish...but I noticed today that the only Staff member listed under "Members >>> Staff Members" is Rob. Low priority item but wanted to let you know.

This is what I’m seeing. Seems to be hit or miss actually. This is on a mobile.

What the hell im gone just a couple weeks and the whole site is different?! Haha. I thought I went to the wrong web page for a minute. Looks pretty good I might have missed it but are the model specific threads no more?

Sorry if it’s already been posted, but punctuation seems to frequently show up as a ton of additional characters thrown into the word.

great job on the upgrade overall though!

Mine has done that on here and on Df since they changed over as well. Sometimes ill type a word or letter and it just keeps repeating it over and over again. Same thing with punctuation sometimes as well, but in my case its happen more with words or letters. I just figured it was something with my phone.

On the "members" page, what is "reaction score" & "points"?

Do we get a prize or something if we win?
