Camino forum's new software update

I have been posting some long-ish entries on my daily "Live on the Camino" thread for the Ingles route I am now walking.

I have noticed for the last couple of days that if I want to preview what I've wrote, or possibly make a few changes, or insert additional text somewhere, that I am unable to take a look at the whole post before deciding to "send" from my phone. It seems to be stuck showing only a few lines of my text and has never done this before and is frustrating.

Has anyone else experienced this? It seems to possibly be a glitch in the software and if so, I hope it can be rectified, as it is annoying to deal with.

Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Just read this so I am trying to see what happens when using a computer and dropping the smile right down a page.
It works but there is no scroll bar in the preview pane only on the main page. Was it like that before? Does this help @Camino Chrissy ?
 
Well, I never use a computer to post on the forum, whether at home or away, so I don't think this will help, but thank you for trying.

I hope Ivar or one of our computer techie wizards can find something out and reply. It has only happened to me in the last few days, so possibly am wrongly assuming it is related to the forum upgrades.

It seems that the other problems that we have been having since the update have been resolved. Is this problem still occurring for you today?

I only use the website and am always permanently logged in.
Yes, it happened this morning again. I will restart my phone and will be posting tonight. I'll see if it happens again and let you know, either way. Thanks @trecile for replying.
 
I did a test run this morning in the sand box with many paragraphs of text, more than Chris posts on her Live updates. I had no problems scrolling and editing both before and after posting to the sand box thread.

Rick I was hoping you would chime in.
I'll see how it goes for me tonight...
 
I’ve also got the vague feeling that ‘something’s changed’ - but a new pair of trousers can do that.

A micro example - and maybe it was always thus - but if I look at ‘new posts’ they’re not always in strict date and time order - but now that I go to take a screenshot everything’s sorted itself out. This may pass the evening in Bilbao quite quickly as I randomly stab at my phone to catch it in the act.

The ‘unread’ button had disappeared, but has returned. Perhaps the drive-band slipped off the knurdle gear?
 
When you click on your personal content your own pm's also appear.
When you click on the name of a forummember with whom you also pm with these pm's are also viewable.
I tested it with clicking on the name of a member with whom I do not have pm's with and luckily no pm's appear that this member does with others.
If that makes sense?

A weird algorythm though and I might think again of using the pm function. Maybe time to use emails or Whatsapp / Signal in the future.

  • Thread '447,704 and still counting!'

    When the Santiago pilgrim office opened this morning the running total of Compostelas issued for this year stood at 445,807. Today they handed out another 1,897. Making the new total for the year to date 447,704. More than were issued in the whole of 2023 (446,078) which was itself a new record year. And there are still nearly 3 months left of this year.

  • Thread '2025 Albergue Trends'

    The results are in from the annual autumn questionnaire I send to all the albergues, and they are not as radical as they were last year. Prices have increased, but not as frequently as they did from 2023 to 2024, when prices almost universally went up. In fact, two albergues (so far) have lowered their prices. There have been a few closures on the Norte, Portugués, and Francés routes due to retirement (four!) or the inability to negotiate a new lease. Some of these closures are a real...

    Thread 'Finding myself - What to expect on the trip.'

    This was a rather last minute arrangement. About 3 weeks ago I saw a window in my life to get some time to myself and booked a flight to Lisbon from Christchurch New Zealand. I'm spending 36 days away from home. I feel I have lost my way over the past decade and its time to find a new way forward. I'm 67 but physically healthy and fit. Mentally not so great. I want to explore my creative side (Been an Engineer all my life). What I would like is to go though my last few years of...

  • Thread 'Bed Bugs in winter'

    Are bed bugs a problem in the winter months? I’ve had a few run-ins with bed bugs at rentals. They are the most disgusting, invasive, awful things in the world. Thanks in advance
