Did I miss something?? We used to be able to edit which Forums were shown in New Posts. I cannot seem to find this function any more.
Forget it, I think I have worked it out.:-

any idea how long before tapatalk is usable, or the mobile version is more user-friendly?
Have you tried ForumRunnerQuote:

Very slick, as it turns the system into "push" rather than "pull" for notifications.Quote:

I've got a bit behind the curve here due to other stuff (150-160 spammers banned over the last few days by mods). I'll do my best to get an update done tonight. Please ensure you read THE KNOWN PROBLEM LIST before reporting new items. I've bolded the key words to help you find things faster.
EDIT - Mulgabill, the answer for now is no. It may came back later, I will ask for you.
Great job lads, keep it up - to all the others things take time and most often have to get worse before they get better, let the lads breath and do what they do, or are people in such a mad rush that it all needs to be fixed today or they will never come back?
Yeah it took me 4-5 days to put up pics of my new sawmill, but no-one died from the suspense - give it time
Brett, the whole idea behind email notifications is that you get an email advising you that someone has replied to a thread you are subscribed to, you don't need to be on the forum at the time. Same applies to email notifications of a PM, you will know you got a PM regardless of whether you are on the forum. The auto-popup for PM only goes activated when you actually login to the forum.Quote:

But I'm always on the forum Fred....Quote:

It's great for PMs because it will interrupt any tab that you're looking at in that execution of FireFox, with the little pop-up that can be canned for later if you want.
I have a two screen set-up here, and there have been occasions (such as during the Hand Tools Group Buy) where I have had iSpy open and visiable on the laptop screen, and my USERCP, or whatever thread I'm looking at open on the big (main) screen.
I have noticed that if you are in New Posts with AR on (a right click option will toggle it) when it refreshes after say 2 minutes, it will NOT include the new posts since then - it will just un-bold the ones that you've looked at since the last refresh, just like manually refreshing does. To get the latest posts included you have to click new posts again.
FireFox is pretty cool Fred. I switched to it about two years ago. There's an absolute stack of add-ons and plug-ins available, mostly free with a plea for donation. I use around 15 add-ons and I don't get ANY flashing ads on Newspaper sites etc, which means I actually get to be able to read the primary msg of the site (the News). I can see and block tracking sites (and there's HEAPS of them), and so it goes on.
I'm yet to determine if the Forum's new Auto-save feature preserves my text in the middle of replying. This is one down side of AR - if you don't toggle it off then you lose whatever you have just typed. I'm surprised you haven't heard me on occasion Fred, particularly when it happens 3 times in 5 minutes (yeah I'm that dopey at times). However, if you have the AR set to 2 minutes then you don't have to retype much (and if I sense a refresh coming I quickly ctrl-A and ctrl-C, and paste it back after the refresh).
There are those that would say I'm a bit AR myself.
Thanks Brett, F5 doesn't refresh Activity Stream, neither does Auto Refresh:(, I just installed it and no go. The other features of Auto Refresh are not that important to me, so have uninstalled it again.
Yes, have been using Firefox for quite a while and use some of their add-ons.
Nutso. Kinda figures though. So what you need is a touch screen with a trained monkey, or are you already doing similar?Quote:
