tryed a few & standard windows internet explorer seems to be the only one for me where post count changes with each post the others just stay the same..... may also depenned what device yor using?

I've a hard time believing that the post count is worth this much discussion; nevertheless, thought I'd contribute and watch mine go up.

Interesting that there is no "cancel" button on the comment editor.

iuventus

There most certainly is.

I don't suppose that anyone on here has the power to expel a spam bot called kaymoe from the old GMB.

Me & The Carp have no powers on the old board.

I did provide a link, in the FAQ, to the old board, though... in case anyone wishes to rifle through the archives.

Where? As I sit here writing this comment, I see "write comment", "Save draft", "Post comment", and "Back to Discussions". The only way I know, once you have started writing a comment, to delete it is the very roundabout way of going to "My Drafts" and deleting it. Very awkward.

Never mind. I thought you meant in edit mode. Why would you need one in the general post mode when you can just delete your text? The one problem I have there is that, when I wish to delete my text, it has sometimes automatically saved it as a draft. At that point, I must go to drafts in order to delete it.

Oh, I see that's what you're saying. Eh, no big deal though, right?

Yeah, i think there is an option to turn off tagging completely. I'd be happy to do that if no-one objects.

Right... does anyone (apart from the spam-bots) use, or intend to use tags?

Reply now or forever hold your... mouse!

If no-one objects, we will disable tagging, which will clear that messy list from the main page.

I'd second this as it just gets filled with SpamTags™ every few days anyway so becomes a pointless ever changing advert at the right of the page........

You know what I think. Delete.

OK, have disabled tagging.

Experimented with disabling voting (as some people get inadvertently shoved into 'sort by votes' mode... which causes massive confusion) but unfortunately the 'counters' against each thread (votes, follows, views & comments) then vanish. Weird.

Incidentally, those counters vanished in 'Discussion view-mode' a few months ago. Flagged it to admin-proper, but not had any response.

Not really. Just annoying.

No loss. All that stuff that used to show up in the message list was kinda nice, though. And, I still miss the item from the old board that showed who wrote the original post for a thread. Again, it's not a big deal. It's just that it's awkward, which I will say is the case for a lot about this board. On the old board, also, when you "marked all viewed", it would set the pointer to the last post of the thread. That was really nice.

The mobile version shows the original poster (which for some weirdly undefined reason - I also like) but the deleting of Drafts in mobile mode is a complete carbuncle on the face of usability "super-feckstix-arse-twat time" . And yes , I click "mark all viewed" to not see threads where someone whose posts I don`t wish to see , but when you click in later to it to read someone whose posts you do wish to read , it insists on showing you the waffle monger posts , pah! pah! and thrice pah!

Howdy, Stranger!
