@jupiter You should have auctioned off his name as next year’s funds drive. Smile

on a totally separate note is there something that explains the different star levels?  I thought when I saw ‘Bonin Level’ you were calling me too negative until I saw the other levels

POLLS?

The basic message board software is free, but I used the donated money from April/May to pay for paid add-ons. Add-ons like: Giphy, Private messages, Custom fields (need to weed out spammers), Embeds, Attachments and a few others. 

But one thing I didn't get as an add-on are POLLS within topics. Is there real interest in something like this so users like you can create polls within a topic? More info on the Polls add-on

Thoughts?

I remember we had polls but had forgotten about them until now.  Guess that means I don't see a need.

How do go, directly, to the last unread post?  When there were three listings, under "Recent Post", I could click on the the oldest unread post.

From earlier in the thread...

Main Topic Line: Clicking the main topic link will bring you to the most recent UNREAD post. You can see the "NEW" icon for when there is something you have not read. The avatar is based on WHO created the original topic.

PORTAL LAYOUT

I decided to change the Portal layout on desktop/tablet. I moved the small column over to the right side to match the rest of the site and how it is laid out. it will take a bit to get used too, but that should go away fairly quickly. I just wanted to bring it in line with every other page on GPL. Nothing should look different on mobile.

I'm being logged out when I enter certain pages/topics. E.g The recent topics/posts area under community, and the Twins thread. That's all I'm aware of so far. I think someone had this issue earlier, but can't seem to locate how it was resolved.

I am guessing that this is a cookie issue??? Maybe delete history and cookies for GPL? 

This is out of my expertise.

Gave it a shot. No dice. This honestly happened periodically before the switch as well, tends to work itself out eventually.

I have found that if you don't log into a site for a while, they make you reset. Obv not the case here for me, but, something like that could be a factor.

Jup, I am liking this new iteration of GPL more and more on my laptop.  I find navigating between threads very easy.  I have only come on here a couple times on my phone but I find it much easier than before.  The only thing I need to figure out is how to post a Twitter post or You Tube video.  I'm sure I'll figure it out soon enough.

Copy the link of either and past it into the thread.  Technomagic should handle the rest.

It’s weird… Some are able to do it, while others are not. Maybe a mobile vs desktop thing?

Yes... it is a mobile thing. I did my cover photo on desktop, but when I tried to do a new one on mobile it didn't work. I will submit a bug to wpForo.

Bug submitted at wpForo ... Looks like the same issue is happening on their board as well. So hopefully this gets fixed in the next update.

But you should be able to update the cover image on desktop.

Would it be possible for the notifications bell icon to revert back to 0 after all have been viewed, and then start counting up again if a member has a new like, reply, etc.?

I think the bell and notifications need some work by the developer... Right now when you click the individual notifications in the bell menu, they will disappear. But they will not if you visit the page they are referring to. So I have just been hitting the clear button.

Yup, worked on a desktop.  Though I'm not sure when anyone would actually see that banner photo anyway?  I'm guessing my profile isn't a hot spot to visit around here... ?

Before she can properly diagnose the issues with the site, she'll need to install the latest GPL software.
