Have any of you experienced any bugs using the forum since the update a few days ago?
Describe the bug
Mobile or Desktop
Type of browser
Bugs reported:
Cannot quote in a reply (refreshing the page seems to work)
Cannot insert an emoji (random if it works or not)
Cannot close the composer if you want to “cancel” a reply (refreshing the page seems to work)
Uploading images will fail. (Trying again by canceling out of the composer seems to work or post your post without images then go back and add the images)
The forum seems to be over all slower
Cannot discard/trash a message (refreshing the page seems to work at times)
Toolbar functions in the composer fails to work at times
Cannot add tags at times; in particular after a topic has been created, adding a tag or additional tags fail
Post preview (right side) will not work when using Reply to Post.
If you are having issues with uploading images, try this:
Post the post without the images, refresh the page, then go back and edit the post with your images
“Replying to Topic” seems to work better with the composer functionality then it does with “Replying to Post”
However, this is a bug that has been happening for a while, but when an email from the forums is sent sometimes I will get the “Heads Up: We only send 3 daily emails” but it is my first email of the day? Then, I will get another email from the forums even though I got the “Heads Up” message.
I believe that is a setting in the forum software and has done this for a while now. I believe it depends on how much mail is in the spool.
The issues we are seeing now started to occur after this last forum update. It’s mostly effecting mobile browsers and moderator functions. Some of what has been reported above by users, we’ve also noticed. There are a few bugs too not with mobile.
The forum is on a beta version of Discourse. Image that! (However, the forum has pretty much been on beta versions without many issues)
I’ve noticed I have a real hard time uploading images when posting from Safari on iPadOS. I get a forum “processing” message after selecting the image file from my Photos library but the message never posts.
The workaround seems to be to do a CMD+A to select all the text, copy it, cancel the post before it completes and try again. The second time, I can paste in the text that I copied earlier, and when I go to insert the same photo I selected the first time, it will work as normal.
