The point of cuts is to make it easy to find the articles I want to read, and then I can open that article and get my wall of text. When I scroll through the archives looking for something, I'm assaulted by every single article in full, which leads to me scrolling and scrolling and scrolling, trying to find what I was looking for. Every single other major website on the internet that features multiple pages of content will still hide the articles under linked headlines on page 2, 3, 4, etc so that you can skim through them to find something of particular interest. Just apply the frontpage cutting algorithm to every page that isn't page 1 and we're golden.

Is this even the right place to make this complaint? Because it's kind of a deal, and I want it to get seen by parties that have the ability to fix it. Should I take it somewhere else?

That's one of those things that would require coding changes which only Ryan is capable of. He DOES read this thread, but he may not have time to always respond.

Right, I know it's not an easy fix, but I just wanted to make sure I was putting it in the right place. Thanks for confirming.

hmmm ... so it works unless you use the pop up window. That seems to draw things from a different area.

Because you're searching for Kanrabat and not -Kanrabat-. The search is exact and not flexible.

It worked for me if I searched for -Kan* or even *Kan* (wild cards)

The view discussion button in articles still beings me back to the very first page of a thread for certain news stories, instead of bringing me to where the discussion for that particular news item begins. It just happened with this one: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/big-transformers-sale-at-toysrus-canada/33736/

The one he brought to attention in this post a bit back.

I'm not sure if Seibertron feels the same way, but I find the functionality of those buttons a minor concern compared to other issues addressed over the last year. *shrug* I know that PHP can be a pain to deal with, especially when trying to debug some things similar to this.

U are in the correct topic. Absence of response doesn't mean I'm not reading comments.

There seems to be various issues with the buttons you are reporting, as well as discrepancies with how they should be working. I will look into this issue soon.

None of this has to do with the complexity of php. Php is actually a very easy language to program which I've been using for 15 years. The only issue is trying to figure out if there is a flaw in phpbb or with a browser or a cookie issue on your computer. Not a widespread problem based on lack of responses from other people.

My best guess is the lack of the "hash" variable in the mark topic and sub forums read's button's URLs. It's present in the mark forums read button's URL—which works. Manually adding the "hash" variable in the non-working URLs makes them actually mark the appropriate topics and sub forums as read. Maybe give that a squint?

I was finding the site was hanging for me, so I let Ryan know, he's made some changes behind the scenes. He's just waiting to see how things go for the next few hours.

Let us know if you notice any more problems or not.

Cellphone issue query

Postby Stuartmaximus » Sun Oct 04, 2015 4:18 am

Motto: ""i hate to love....& love to hate!""
I know this probably belongs in the Problem Reporting page, but I wondered if anyone else may be experiencing similar issues.

While navigating Seibertron.com from your mobile/cell phone, is it a smooth transition? or are there sometimes glitches or errors?(pages not loading properly or taking time to load, when clicking to go to one page you somehow end up at another! that sort of thing).

& when you type something into your post is it a smooth operation? or are there problems when typing? coz I'm finding issues when typing, words are doubled when typing, & on occasion it automatically jumps back into part of the sentence you have just typed.

Now you could easily chalk it up to things like your cellphone is a piece of crap! or you've got predictive text activated! But would that really have such a deleterious effect? I mean....you have spellchecker activated while navigating from your pc with no ill effects! so why should predictive text affect operation differently?(I mean it's easy just to point the finger & say...THAT is the problem! but is it really? & can you say with 100 per cent certainty that really IS the cause?) If that indeed was part of the case! &/or maybe it's that particular page where you insert text for a post/comment/reply ect...can't handle input from a cellphone properly as it can from a pc! oh btw I forgot to add....are people experiencing similar issues from ANY other mobile device?(Pads, Tablets, Handheld Games Consoles ect).

Please give your thoughts on this issue

Honestly, and I'm not being a prick about this, I'm thinking it's how you're using your phone.

Hear me out ... I don't use mine to browse the site often (I'm more often than not close to a computer) but the times I have I've had similar problems, not because of the site, nor my phone, but because my fingers were aiming to tap one thing but tapped another.

Ok....that may explain some things.....but it doesn't explain everything! like for instance....double words that sometimes appear when you type, & the sudden relocation of when your typing to the middle of a line you've already typed! YES you could easily put it down to accidental keypresses.....but that's only beacause apart from us both.....noone else has came forward yet having the same issue + I highly doubt anyone will!....since my post has been relocated to this thread(& yes I can understand the reasons why) but people usually only visit this thread to REPORT a fault or issue, they don't normally come here to browse(not that I've suddenly become an expert in the browsing behaviour of the public you understand) as the threads heading & purpose is self explanatory.

Also......the website isn't exactly Android friendly! in other words there's no option to view the website in mobile format! so somewhere within that could lay the issue or problem pertaining to the text input function for comments ect.(granted all this is purely speculative, but could one day...maybe warrant some attention....If or even when more people come forward with similar issues or problems) but certainly the introduction of an option to view in mobile format would be advantageous(granted yes I know the current format you can access from mobile devices with ease & it's always been that way! But the option for the website to also be displayed in mobile format may eliminate some of the errors & issues with text input from cellphones & the like).

But I doubt things will change with as little as only two people(you & myself) experiencing slight issues with either navigating or the text input function of this website from a cellphone.

Ryan is well aware that the site is not MOBILE (not just Android) friendly. It's not an easy fix though.

As far as double words go, I still feel the problem lies with either yourself or your device. Hence WHY others haven't commented as they're just not having the problems you are.

Well at least we've established that the website isn't completely mobile friendly! which could possibly be(not definitely) an element in causality to SOME of the problems that I am experiencing

as for the double word thing.....YES it's entirely possible, but I think your reaching for the old blame the operator & not the device solution! Whilst as i stated in the top paragraph....there still exists an incompatibility element at play here! which may(or may not) be the causal problem.

As for others not reporting similar incidents! Probably coz most of them are on a pc, instead of a cellphone.

Look....we'll just have to chalk it up to the fact that this incompatibility element isn't going to be fixed anytime soon! & leave it at that! I'll just have to muddle through the best I can, as I have been doing so up to now.

But thanks for your advice.
