XenForo 2 - Known Issues (1 Viewer)

[Dave Upton]

I would if I knew how to as I couldn't figure out how to do it without deleting the app off my phone. You would think it would be like it's on my desktop, but it isn't that way.

Are you using AdBlock or another app? This is the instruction list for AdBlock:

Whitelist a Site in AdBlock for iOS

1. In the AdBlock app, tap Settings, then tap Whitelist Websites
2. Tap the text field and type the domain like this: hometheaterforum.com
3. Tap Go, then tap < Settings to save the whitelisted site(s)
4. Wait about 30 seconds for AdBlock to process the whitelist filter(s)

Right now, the hardest thing for me to remember is the "Mark forum read" option is no longer in "Tools" - at least the one for a single forum and not system wide. The one in "Tools" has no option for the current forum and will only do the entire site.

Just noticed any links to facebook posts (such as tvshowsondvd), are reformatted into a frame.

TV on DVD news roundup

I have to wonder about that statement on the "Northern Exposure" Season 3 back cover that it includes "unexposed footage." Really? It includes pieces of never shot film left over in the original canisters?

In order to see this tvshowsondvd facebook frame, I had to disabled the default built-in basic tracking protection in Firefox. (Even when all my other addons are disabled).

Hi Howie,

It's just moved. You can do it from any forum page by clicking the button in the top right. That will do it for that forum only:

Yes, unfortunately this isn't something I can control. Firefox is being overeager in blocking things from Facebook.

Sorry... I wasn't too clear. Getting used to that move is the main thing getting me right now. I keep clicking "Tools" and then remember it's moved... It's actually a bit easier - as long as you remember.

Guess I'm not seeing it... at all. When I click on that link to look at the post it's fully blank. If I "reply" I see the quote and that there's a link to some facebook "media". FWIW - I have FF settings enabled to block such tracking and also have facebook "blocked" (actually not allowed to run at all) in uMatrix (and have considered modifying my "hosts" file to block it completely). If I allow uMatrix to run the DVD Talk scripts in the post I get this:

"Cannot load Facebook SDK. Disable any adblocker or tracking protection and try again."

If that's FF doing its thing then it's all good...

 

[Dave Upton]

I'm investigating this one.

Mobile should be fixed on the home page now.

Yes, your browser or plugins are blocking this. We have a media plugin that handles links to external sites like YouTube etc, facebook being one of them. It pretties up the content, but your browser and plugins will still block things as configured.

I'm using Norton.

 

[Dave Upton]

I'm using Norton.

Add exception to Norton Ad Blocker

1. From the Home screen, launch Norton Ad Blocker.
2. In the main window, tap Exceptions.
3. Tap Add Exception, and then enter the website address.
   For example: www.hometheaterforum.com
4. Tap Add to confirm the exception.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

I figured out how to add an exception to the adblocker I am using for Firefox on my Android phone (uBlock Origin). It was cumbersome, but seems to have eliminated the annoying red box that couldn't be closed.

As a workaround to this automatic framing of facebook stuff, I just edited my post to include a hardcoded hyperlink to the actual facebook page.

So far it seems to evade this automatic framing.

I've noticed that the new software doesn't allow me to add screen captures to my posts like the old one did. Now it states that the size is too large when I try to upload a file from my PC (images linked via URL work just fine). Do images now have to be re-sized before adding them to posts? The old software gave us the choice between thumbnails and full size, and I never had any problems posting them. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious...any help would be appreciated.

 

[TonyD]

I mentioned that earlier.
Even iPhone screen grabs don’t load.

I’ve had to severely crop pics to get them to load.

I'll take a look guys. Might be a permissions issue

Give it a try now

 

[TonyD]

Seems fine now.

 

[Jeff Flugel]

Works just fine for me now, Dave! Thanks for all your hard work in fixing the bugs!

This isn't a problem, just something odd. When you edit a post, the "save" button has a picture of a floppy disk. I'll bet there are younger users who have never had a computer with a floppy disk drive, and may never have seen a floppy disk before.
