Hello Staff
A recurring bug that is starting to seriously inflate me, I am forced to retype my messages and resend them each time because the 1st send is not sent the first time... as if a cookie expired after 10 seconds after clicking on reply...
Please fix this bug.
Yes, very very annoying this bug. Me copy paste before sending each time. Unless forgotten and sometimes I don't have the courage to repost...
This bug is systematic if you start answering and someone has answered in the meantime.
Hello
Sorry that this bug is coming back, I'm bringing it up urgently!
Coralie
For me, this bug appears when you open several tabs, each with a question.
I hadn't noticed that it was solved at one time or another.
Hello;
I agree with Sylk, it's unbearable ! Especially if you post tags (VBA or Others)
In this case I agree with sbadenis ... I don't have the courage to repost my answers if I don't think of writing them in " Local " so that I can put them back on the Forum. ….
There was a time when it was better to create a " super-fast " answer with a single character, then edit it to write your answers quietly... but that doesn't work anymore either.
In addition to stefbeno's answer, if you browse, with a new tab, on another site (or lynkoa's), this also systematically causes the disappearance of the current post...
For me too, this bug never seemed to be solved (a bit like the one of random languages during navigation on Lynkoa). Or some questions that only appear on the " lynkoa.com/myCADservices " page but not on the " lynkoa.com/questions " forum...
Kind regards.
Note : Coralie, do you know why you created the icon (top right) " Answer the Question " isn't it redundant with the " Your Answer " editing box at the bottom of the page ?
Kind regards.
Note 2 : First attempt at publication : Failed
For my part, when I think about it just before publishing CTRL+A and CTRL+C.
Just in case to then paste the previous message.
But if I forget and I had written a slice of bread in general I leave it, because I'm too disgusted.
Copying it to paste it works when you think about it, but especially when you don't have anything else copied on the clipboard that you want to keep.
Some forums have a system of automatic backup of content before publication, with the possibility of restoring it after a failure or forgetting to send. But for this to happen, the session must remain open during the data entry, which seems to be not the case here.
Hi all
Our technical teams are aware of these various recurring bugs and are actively working on them.
In parallel, we are currently working on a new forum (I'm telling you this in preview!) which should be set up very soon. This new forum (obviously more modern) will save you all these bugs and inconveniences. Your feedback is therefore essential because it will help us implement new improvements.
I will keep you informed of the resolution of these bugs as well as the implementation of the new forum.
Sorry again for all these problems you encounter daily,
Coralie
Interesting, can't wait to see this new forum. Thank you to you and your teams.
Will this new forum have the usual features of a forum:
- visualization (e.g. by an icon/color change) of discussions that have received new messages since the last visit;
- indication of the date of the last message in addition to or instead of the creation date
Hello @stefbeno,
Of course! Anything is possible with a new forum;)
Coralie
Hello Coralie,
You open the door, so I take advantage of it...
On another forum I frequent, the list of discussions is as follows:
- The first column is an icon whose design is of little importance but which is red in case of a new answer (already mentioned);
- the second is the title of the discussion with the possibility to go directly to a page in the case of a very active topic, if you click on the text you arrive at the beginning (as currently);
- the third is the number of responses;
- The fourth is the name of the creator of the discussion.
- the fifth is the number of views;
- Finally, the last column gives the name of the last participant and the date. The arrow that points to a "sheet" allows you to go to the last answer not seen (that's super handy), if all the answers have been seen, you get to the last answer.
If we take the current display:
We realize that there is not so much to add:
- the icon that changes color can be the arrow that points to the number of answers and by clicking on this arrow we arrive at the last answer not seen if it exists, otherwise on the last answer;
- by dragging the number of views below the number of replies, we free up the space next to the number of replies to indicate who is the name of the last contributor and the date of this contribution.
In terms of operation, there are sometimes several of us preparing a response simultaneously. But by the time he had written it, done the tests, captured, another had sent his own. It would be good, when we click on the "send" button, if the site informs us and presents the answer(s) sent and offers to send/modify/cancel our answer.
A quotation function would perhaps be interesting to be able to take up a response in whole or in part: sometimes there are several answers in a row and as a result it is sometimes difficult to know which message the answer refers to.
I have a doubt about how the spell checker works: I have the impression that when you write an answer it doesn't work well but if you edit it you have the normal functioning.
I put here a suggestion I made recently about the "Lynkoa Improvement" group:
I realize that I have had open questions for some time (a few years anyway) without answers.
I think it might be interesting to create a status like an "orphan question" to be able to somehow close these questions.
On one of my questions that was dragging on like this, I made a bogus answer that I validated as a good answer but I don't find it satisfactory: the question is marked as solved when there is no answer and leaving it open is not practical when you do a search on your questions.
A (relatively basic) user manual would be interesting, I see icons/text in the toolbar or in the border of the window whose purpose I have trouble grasping.
I digress a little from the heart of the forum but I think that's part of it: the groups.
This is a part of the site that seems to me to be underused because it is not very visible, misunderstood and a little badly done:
- not very visible: a reminder of the groups to which one is registered could be made at the top of the page, in a banner, above the questions. We could find the same spirit of operation: index of new participation.
- Misunderstood: When you see certain groups, it's hard to know where to ask a question, in the group or in the main forum. It's a bit of a forum within the forum;
- Badly done: when you open a group, you don't have a discussion list but all the discussions with the expanded answers, I don't find it very readable.
- Why provide "private" groups? I asked to be a member of a group a while ago (months or years I don't know anymore), I don't have an answer...
@stefbeno,
Are you doing well;) Thank you for your feedback, I note your improvements!
Have a good day, Coralie
Hello
As mentioned @stefbeno the common basic functions of forums would be appreciated.
That being said, I rather like the graphic charter of the current forum, which contrasts with the classic appearance of forums. A mix of the best of 2 worlds would be perfect.
Going back to the original problem, here's an example of what I'm talking about with the ultra useful autosave function of post:
If I may make a remark, I hope that in addition to the new forum it will be mostly on a new server, because the current forum is really very slow. The worst thing is to send a reply, even 3 words... It seems that millions of users share 10 bytes/s at the same time :/
Hello @Sylk,
Yes of course who says new forum says new server! We are well aware of these latency issues that will be solved as soon as our new forum is released!
It's coming soon!
I don't know about you, but I see a clear improvement.
Since the last few days, without having changed anything in the way I consult the forum, I am no longer obliged to repost 2 times.
Thanks to the team, even if it was a bit long (but maybe not easy to solve)
It's true that lately I've been making my copy just in case, without ever having to paste it, a sign that indeed the bug is rarer or gone.
hello
I noticed the same no bug! But I remained wary on the long posts, I still do CTRL C while waiting for the very nice new forum.
;-)
