Technical Questions

[BOBB]

1. Anyone experience the scenario when typing a post that the text scrolls continuously to the right and doesn't wrap in the box? Is there a setting to change that or is it a Chrome issue?

2. How does one embed videos (youtube, etc...)

Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.

1. I haven't experienced that, and I use Chrome. Not sure what that would be.

2. Right above the text box where you type your post there is a button that looks like a filmstrip. Click it and paste in the YouTube URL. I'm not sure if it works for other streaming video sites/formats.

Yes, that's happening on my Android phone too. I don't see any easy fix for it, but will dive a little deeper.

Nvm, I guess you can't edit out videos.

lmao!

Does that function work.

Yes, but it collects so much spam it is largely ignored now. I will sift through it.

Several of my topic buttons, which indicate unread posts, are highlighted, but there are not any new posts in the forum to read.

Yeah, that's always been flaky. I recently reran a bunch of database cleanup stuff to try and fix an issue that ShockTalk is having, and I would have thought that that would fix up the issue you are talking about. Apparently it didn't. There have been a few upgrades that have come out, so I am going to upgrade the system today, let's see if that issue has been fixed.

Thanks Wu

Every 10 year old Ope knows how to navigate a screen, now I am not sure about Aunt Bee

I have no idea if this has been fixed with the upgrade, but try going to the home page, then scroll down to the bottom of the list of forums and click "Mark Channels Read". Let's see if it starts working better.

Yes, it has been resolved. Thanks my Shocker brother!!!

Let's see if it stays that way over time though. Not sure if it just works for a little while and then breaks again or not.

One thing I notice this morning:

When you click on the A (Toggle Advanced Editor) button at the top of the posting box to get the editing options such as Sizw, Color, Bold, Italics, etc.it looks like it has fewer options than before. It used to wrap to a second line.

I noticed this morning that the underline option was no longer available. (i.e. I could not underline the A in my previous sentence.

[ShockTalk]

I don't see the underline button either.

[1979Shocker]

Even though there is no button for Underline, you can still get the underline by pressing Ctrl+U.

And you're wanting my old wrinkling brain to have to remember that and all the other press this + that conventions. Have Mercy! I do good remembering some of my basic passwords for most sites. All others, I look up.
