Board Upgraded - Features and Issues
-
Hi guys! The nodebb guys still have a couple things to look at but the board is back up and available for use. So far, looks great!
If you guys see any issues, or want to call out cool features, lets do it here!
-
I’ll start with one (i mentioned it in another thread but will remention here).
When you hit quote on a post, it now embeds a link to the post you’re quoting. Also, did you know that if you highlight the section of the post you want to quote, it will put that quoted section in your post? It always did that. Between these two features, quoting is pretty great.
-
I’m having issues upvoting posts. I will sometimes get “error invalid data”.
-
@BShark interesting. Can you sign out and sign back in and see if it continues? Maybe the user model changed?
-
I keep getting these push notifications every time I go to a new thread. I have followed the directions to disable them, closed Firefox completely and restarted it with no luck.
-
OK. I pasted an image and it displayed correctly on the right display panel but when I submitted the post the image did not display. Also, I don’t see an “Edit” option which was handy when posting from pads and cells since the auto correct sometimes does crazy changes.

I had that problem with the old version. I just ended up allowing them. I woudl have thought this woudl be fixed. Can you clear cache on the browser and see if it persists? And… if all else fails, can you allow them?
-
@JayHawkFanToo I see your image above if that’s the one. The edit option is tucked under the gear. Not sure I’m a fan of that, but it’s there.
-
@approxinfinity Whew glad were back. I was trading posts this morning, left for a bit came back and my dam computer said page unavailable lol. - -I thought OH NO I’ve lost my most favorite page. - -I was depressed, I thought about taking up drinking , ,smoking cigarettes , - slumping in my rocking chair , and relegated to watching soap Opera’s - -WHEW WHAT A RELIEF lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
When I first submitted it it was not there but now, after I finally gave up and allowed the push notifications, it shows up…go figure.
-
I had to sign back in after the upgrade anyway.

Looks like you can only hit edit or delete on your own. Probably better that way to avoid accidents, but I used to go into others’ sometimes to see how they got certain things to display in a post, like large fonts, etc.
-
Emojis?
-
@approxinfinity avatars for some people are not displayed. Tried different browsers. Some of the missing are: jaybate, JayHawkFanToo, REHawk, nuleafjhawk.
-
What is “Zen” mode and I still can’t find the EDIT?
-
Since I can’t find edit to add more, I’ll write here. What is the difference between “Upload image” and “Picture?”
-
Switching browsers helped me.
-
Edit is under the round gear next to the upload arrow; you can only edit your own posts. My avatar and others are no longer displayed…they were earlier… :s
-
@JayHawkFanToo help!
-
The emoji in my post above did not display when I submitted even when it showed on the right test panel. I reloaded the page and it showed. I believe this is the same thing that happened with the image above, it does not immediately display but does it when you refresh the page, either by clicking on the reload icon or going out and back into the thread.
-
@JayHawkFanToo I’ve been all around the gear and when I click on it this is what I get. there is nothing I can see when travelunder the gear.
-
Okay, I clicked under the gear and found edit.
but I can’t get a picture to load.
-
The picture loaded but, which one did it, the upload image button or Picture?
-
@wrwlumpy at least you have an avi

Your’s was beautiful.
-
What is the not watching feature? Is that for the baseball post?
-
K. @JayHawkFanToo I haven’t had the same image issues. What browser were you using?
-
@wrwlumpy lol I think for some that’s probably what not watching is for.
-
As far as the avatar, i recall we had probs with this before. They may have moved where the avatars are saved. Could I humbly request you guys upload new avatars?
-
@wrwlumpy where did you find the emoji’s?
-
@approxinfinity Upload to where? It asks me for a url. Are we supposed to put them on the net first so we can then provide a url?
-
@brooksmd at least you have a B
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Go to your profile page, click edit and then you can pick your letter.
-
Guys… You can still upload a picture. It’s a little unintuitive when you don’t have an image already; mouse over the grey bar at the top of your user url (ex.https://kubuckets.com/user/approxinfinity)
and you’ll see the upload icon appear. It’s the one on the left here, with the arrow on it:
https://i.imgur.com/ly5XfdK.png
and you’ll see
-
@JayHawkFanToo I see what you’re seeing now with pasting an image url. I’ll dig in.
-
-
@approxinfinity That puts an image in the grey bar, but how do we put one in for our avi? I’m so confused.
-
If we click our heels together can we go back?
-
@brooksmd You’re right! Ha. No, I’m sorry man. No going back. Trust me on this one. These are minor things, we’ll figure them out.
-
So yes, it looks like you need a url in settings. One thing you could do is upload the file here, then grab the url and paste it there. For instance.
I dragged a pic of Devonte in, then it gave me this url in a link https://i.imgur.com/Rpw86DG.jpg
Now the NodeBB guys added an SSL cert for us, which is good, it makes our data more secure. However, it appears there’s a prob with the cert handling of images, so in this case, the image i dragged in doesnt show unless I change that link to http
-
Wait! I got it! k. I changed settings allowing for uploading of images. The option to upload an image showed up in profile!
-
@approxinfinity Hey, just curious , I just posted , thought I had screwed up - -it took my post , , was going to edit my thread but couldn’t find the edit - -what happened to it lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 edit is hidden inside the gaer icon. click that first.
-
@approxinfinity AHHHA, got ya - -thank you so much very simple thanks again – love this site. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 yup yup. bear with me as I get the kinks worked out.
-
@approxinfinity You da man!!! Still wanna click my heels.
-
@JayHawkFanToo yeah I’m seeing that too. Hm.
-
I also posted an issue re: truncation of title on new posts in firefox on their github repo: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/5586
-
@brooksmd I figured out why the images had a prob btw. If you right click on one of those missing images ,you’ll see that the old, old version of the board (like a version even prior to the latest we were on before the upgrade) saved the avatar images locally… and saved a link to them, which was http://. Well, now that we have the SSL cert (again, this means that your data is encrypted, so thats a good thing), that http url won’t fly. If you change it to https it works.

@approxinfinity testing link to site that is not secure http://www.nbadraft.net/
