Camino forum's new software update

[Camino Chrissy]

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.

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.

Are you using the website or the app?

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.
