I'm on my PC using windows 8.1. I've posted links before on the forum and it's been fine so I've got no idea why I'm having the problem. I haven't changed any settings on my browser etc either.

TTony · January 2015

Can you PM me the link to the SC clip that you want to paste? Is it a public/private settings thing on SC?

I'm on PC (win7) and Chrome, and there's no problems.

@Stevepage - I can't do it in Win8.1 (for obvious reasons) but it works fine ^^^ in Win7.

Why am I getting two discussion links on left handed guitar FS threads coming up when I go to the classifieds sub menu? I've not bookmarked either thread (no yellow star showing up). I'm not even left handed! This is when using the mobile forum on iPhone btw.

Is there a way to stop the forum switching to mobile mode when I'm using my phone? I can tell it to use the normal interface, but it always seems to change to mobile mode after a period of time (maybe 30 minutes) and I have to tell it to go back to normal mode. Don't know what triggers it, but I guess it's maybe a session time-out.

I find mobile mode hard to use - can't zoom in, and some of the buttons/links are too small to tap reliably. Quite annoying when browsing some thread, and it switches to mobile, meaning I go back to the main index page when going to normal again, and then have to browse my way back into the thread (and often find myself at the end of a multi-page thread even if I was only half way through).

Is it possible to set links posted like this one using the insert hyperlink button to open in a new tab like they do when posted like this:

Hiya, did my query get missed or is it not possible to do?

Or are you all, like, too busy actually running the forum to respond to pissant little requests like this one?

Yes.

Don't know, but I hope so.

Yes - running the forum and trying to have lives

Seriously, it's something that bugs me too - particularly when links open in the same window and you end up losing where you were in the forum. I'll ask @monquixote, but he's already got a long, long list of development requests, and an even longer list of demands on his time!

Shouldn't be massively tricky to do.

When I have time I'd like to bin the whole editor and sort out a new one. It doesn't work properly with Android and it's not something that's really fixable.

I doubt they will be starting any time soon.

@TTony - Perhaps I'm just being a doofus, but I can see Speakers Corner (keeping up with J-Con's exploits) when on my Macbook Pro and on a Windows 7 desktop at work......but my (Android) Moto G phone doesn't show the SC in the Chat section - only tabs are Off Topic, Music and Meta.

Is this a cache issue - I have tried to reload the page fresh to no change?

ecc83 · June 2015

I have just found a page where I am not being asked to sign in/register.

Trying to get back to the "whooshing amps at switchoff" thread.

I sign in with my name or email addy and password and the system doe NOT refuse it but still asks me to sign in!

Browsing on a mobile, the wisdom icon at the bottom of all posts is currently showing as a blank square, no normal icon or text.

Lewligan · August 2015

Been here a while now, and always wondered if there was a list anywhere of all the 'emoticons' (not sure if that's the right word) available..?

At the moment I'm limited to...

Dunno why I've only just thought to ask.

Nitefly · August 2015

Top right corner of the "Leave a Comment" box - there is a little smiley face - click it and there are dozens of them. Don't know if this works on phones though...

although as far as I can work out you can't use them in the first post of a new Discussion.

Genuinely have no idea how I've never spotted that before.

Eyes must be going

Cheers for pointing it out @Nitefly!

How do you ignore somebody such that you don't see their posts (including new topics started by them) or replies?

TTony · August 2015

Unfortunately, you still see new topics started by them, and any comments they make that are subsequently quoted.

Your ignore list is under your profile settings. You can add up to 5 people to the list.

thomasross20 · August 2015

Got it, thanks

domforr · August 2015

Been on here for a few years but still have no idea how you gain 'frets'? Is it just postings or is there some other criteria?

TTony · August 2015

its the community's feedback on the funny-ness, wow-ness or wisdom of your contributions. At the bottom of each post are the three buttons (LOL, Wow!, Wisdom) if you click on a button, the poster gets a fret.

domforr · August 2015

Ah, that would explain why I have so few then

boogieman · September 2015

I've managed somehow to hide the Guitar part of the gear section. Now I can't find any way of un-hiding it, help!! Using an iPhone btw.

derekiseric · September 2015

Sorry guys, newbie here. Signed up a while back but ive now started using the Board more recently. Id like to change my username to keep it inline with everything else I use.

Can a mod change this? I have messaged Lee (digitalscream) but ive had no reply yet. Any other mods out there who can help?

Ta, Scott

TTony · September 2015

@superbassguy

A mod can't. But an admin can. Lee'll do it.
