lenny broke Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Hi Guys, I must admit I'm having a few problems navigating this new set up on the forum. So how do you reply to a post. I can't see a reply button anywhere Thanks in advance to a reply Cheers Alan Edited June 16, 2020 by lenny broke Quote home track club racer Spitfire Raceway forum link https://www.facebook.com/groups/1753319218331240/?ref=bookmarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenny broke Posted June 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Well I've found the reply button in the top right hand corner of this post. The post I'm referring to is the Tasman Cup post by Stubbo in announcements. It doesn't have the reply button in it.

gazza Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 The reply box is directly under the previous post (Reply to this Topic), well it does for me Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlotsNZ Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 As gazza said, should look like this underneath the last post. You don't even need a reply button at top, you just start typing, and the bits at the bottom of the picture below appear, you then hit the "Submit reply" button when you've finished typing and adding any pictures Quote Recovering Lapsed Slot Addict * Custodian of many used screws (mostly loose ) * Total kidder * Companion of other delusional slot addicts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenny broke Posted June 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the replies chaps, but not in this particular post, I couldn't see anyway to reply to it. (see below) Anyway I can see on other posts where it is, so problem sorted Now next problem.. The "view new content" button isn't a feature in this new forum, is there a way to set up similar function? Tasman Cup By Stubbo, 21 hours ago in News and Announcements Stubbo Classic Racer Members 20 1,612 posts Gender:Male Location:Melbourne Report post Posted 21 hours ago Good morning everyone. Sometimes life gets in the way of slot cars and right at this point in time that has happened to me. The next twelve months or so are filled with a lot of uncertainty and consequently I don't think I can commit to running the next Tasman series. With that in mind I have contacted the other original Tasmanites and I am very happy to say that Alan O'Dea or Lenny Broke to most of you has agreed to take over the running of the series. Alan is one of the Pioneers of proxy racing world wide and I know the Tasman is in great hands. I wish Alan well and hope that the support from Auslot members continues and the next series is best yet. Cheers.

SlotsNZ Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hi Alan - I had checked that topic before replying and it looked absolutely normal to me. Still does, so not sure why you were seeing it different. May have just been a glitch on the server at the time. How is it looking to you now? You can set up custom variations of "new content" under Activity - see the pic below Quote Recovering Lapsed Slot Addict * Custodian of many used screws (mostly loose ) * Total kidder * Companion of other delusional slot addicts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenny broke Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 No not that post Mark it's the one where Stubbo is announcing his standing down form series director. I see vinno has replied but I still can't see the reply button. http://www.auslot.com/forums/index.php?/topic/21161-tasman-cup/&tab=comments#comment-283156 Don't worry about it I've been in contact with Stubbo and said what I needed to say.

SlotsNZ Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Okay - but same goes, that thread looks normal too - and your first comment on the topic was general - not to a particular thread at all.

dangermouse Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 I had a look at the topic Alan referred to and I also can't see an option to post a reply to it. Could it be because it is in the News and Announcements section? Can only moderators post replies in there? cheers David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that the green box is only attached to the first post allowing you to post to the first post/question/information submitted, instead of going to the last post added without reading anything posted between the first and your intended post. This is ok for only 3 or 4 reply's but can lead to endless multiple posts on the same subject when the thread is over many pages, because as we all know no one reads any previous post to see if a particular question has been asked. People will still do that but with the only reply being after the last post, they may actually read a few reply's on the way and find an answer to the question they wanted. So if anyone of authority is listening, maybe turn that option off and see if that solves this and saves any other problems.

Jacob Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 You guys aren't going crazy - this should be fixed now. I don't know why as it's not something I touched and it was working after the upgrade, but reply permissions were disabled for normal members in that particular section of the forum.

lenny broke Posted June 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Thanks Jacob, I think that was my first attempt at a reply on the new format so was somewhat stumped at how to reply. In the end I was able to respond in other ways.
