Forum Software Update 2.3.4

[Bryan Conner]

Do you see any notifications? They should be displaying. I will tinker with the formatting a little next week to get the unread notifications to standout more than they do now. I think they were colored with the previous version.

Hi Tim,

Sorry, I didn't see your post here because I still can't read my notifications. Only today remembered that I had posted here and thought to check if there was a response.
I get the little red number notification on the bell informing me of activity, but when I click on the bell I have a blank text field. I just discovered today that I can mouse over the blank area and there is something there, but I can't read it. Below is a screenshot illustrating this. While I can't see the actual notification, I can mouse over it and see that ctitanic did, or said something. I thought that it might be an ad-blocker or something interfering, but I do not have an ad-blocker enabled on this site.

Hi Bryan. Is this the same if you try in a different browser or on a mobile device? However, it might be related to your notification settings as I think you might have them turned off. If you check under https://rfshooters.com/account/preferences then you should see the following options, what do you have these set to? I'll send you a message as well so you don't miss this.

Just curious. With the new software is it possible for the Metadata to be pulled from the photos posted? I got out of the habit of adding the info and keep forgetting to add it as required.

It should be visible on images in the media gallery and any images in the forums that have been mirrored to the gallery. If you click on an image and it opens in the lightbox then you should be able to view the metadata. It's just not displaying directly beneath the photos right now due to the new update. This will hopefully get fixed but my developer who created this custom add-on is busy at present. I might need to find someone else to take a look at it.

I’m not sure if my opinion is posted in the right thread, but I just want to give a shoutout to the team that maintains the forum and has managed to implement 'passkeys' for logging in. With this tool, logging in has never been easier or more secure compared to the traditional method with a username/password... well done, kudos!

I can't really take credit for that, it was just a new feature with the latest forum software update

I'm not exactly sure how it's implemented, but other forums have the option and haven't enabled it.

Hello again... I’d like to ask if it’s possible to implement a button that would be at the bottom of the screen and take me straight to the menu at the top? Something like a 'go up' button?

"Home" key or sequence using keypad Home button "Shift+Home" isn't working for you?

 

[petar]

It works!
Thanks @Dean Wilson

There is actually a button but it's a bit temperamental on mobile. I'll ask the theme developer if they ever plan to get it working properly. Dean's suggestion is a good one for Windows. On Mac it's "Command + Up".

Thank you @Tim Mayo for your reply… yes, they already helped me a bit earlier. Since I’m on Windows, the 'Home' key on the keyboard works… I just need to get used to it and there’s no problem. I don’t think there’s a need to ask the theme developer for a special solution for this at the moment; I think it’s better to wait and see if anything else comes up, and then contact him, because there is already a solution and I’m using it.


Thank you once again for your response.
