  1. Thanks
    sadams101 reacted to Marc Stridgen in PageSpeed Insights Fix Needed for Link Back to Original Post in Quotes   
    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.

    I suspect that this involves adding text like "Go To Quoted Post" in a JS files, or perhaps a PHP file.

    To be honest, it's quite easy to reproduce. See this:

    Someone or something is attempting to "hack" or something on the board. In the code, you may try to find it at applications\calendar\modules\front\calendar\view.php:
    /* Pagination */ $offset = isset( \IPS\Request::i()->offset ) ? min( array( \IPS\Request::i()->offset, \count( $events ) ) ) : 0; As you can see, there is no check to ensure that the offset value is an integer. Please try changing it to:
    /* Pagination */ $offset = isset( \IPS\Request::i()->offset ) ? \intval( \IPS\Request::i()->offset ) : 0; $offset = $offset ? min( array( $offset, \count( $events ) ) ) : 0; Should help.

    Ok, I will do some more testing by disabling some apps and plugins and see if it is related to any of them. I'll report back what I find.

    Deprecated does not mean removed. As it says there, at least 12 months notice will be given before support is discontinued.
    You will want to check your API configuration to our guide if your maps are not displaying.

    sadams101 got a reaction from David N. in Addition of "Reply" Only Option   
    Bare with me here, because the reason for this suggested change likely does not happen on your own forum...this forum...because your users are highly biased--we're all more or less "experts" with how forums work, and especially Invision forums.
    The Problem--too many users use "Quote & Reply", and then put their reply within the quote.
    My forum has been running continuously for over 20 years now, and I am having a growing issue with the use of the "Quote & Reply"--the problem specifically is that most newer users, and even some older ones, always use this to respond--even if they reply to a post directly after it. A bigger problem, however, is that many users don't know how to deal with the quote that is copied into the reply. Around 25% of my posters now put their reply within that quote--either above the content or below it, but within it--they just don't get it. This makes finding their reply very difficult if they reply to long posts, which happens often on my forum. Some users reply properly outside the quote, but post it either above it or below it, there is no rhyme or reason.
    I now have to edit many posts daily to extract someone's reply from within the quoted area, and put it outside the quoted area. This seems to be a growing issue for me, and perhaps it is due to the fact that more users, perhaps younger, from Facebook or other social platforms are now posting and they just don't get how to use this quote feature.
    A Solution--Add a "Reply" link first
    Instead of:
    +(multi quote) | Quote & Reply | Mark as Solution
    I propose:
    Reply | Quote & Reply | +(multi quote) | Mark as Solution 
    In this case clicking the Reply option would simply take them down to the "Reply to this Topic" field, preferably that field would be opened up, and their cursor would be flashing within it, so all they have to do is start typing. Most people should simply be replying within a topic, rather than quoting and replying.
    +(multi quote)
    Also, regarding the multi quote feature, I believe that at best, 1/100 to 1/200 people in my forum ever figure out how to use that correctly, and it is rarely used. It would make more sense to move this over rather than making it the first option.
    Please let me know what you think.

    We have a "Mention" link. It just scrolls down to the Reply-field and adds the username, formatted as mention. No quote. Just the username.

    You could rename it to Reply. 
    (It is a pretty simple plugin that was offered in the past on the Marketplace.)

    I'm not sure I would see any more confusion than I do now...again, it's getting to where I need to edit ~15-20% of the posts in my forum.
    I have experimented with using just "Quote" and still have the same issue. I added Quote & Reply a while back because of the number of people who would ask how they can reply. They had no idea you had to scroll to the bottom!

    Since it literally happens several times a day on my forum from different users, so I would not say that I have a unique problem. Again, most people don't need to quote at all, but that is the only option they see to reply to a post they might be reading. Just a simple reply button that takes them to the reply field would solve this.
    I actually just corrected a post where the user hit quote and reply, then erased all the quote and put in their own reply within the quote field area...very frustrating.

    sadams101 got a reaction from WebCMS in "List-unsubscribe" in the email header   
    I still see adding this as a net positive. Why? Because on a daily basis I must manually unsubscribe people who are too lazy to do this themselves, and they hit the spam button instead of doing the right thing (I am subscribed to the feedback loops). 
    Gmail has already incorporated this now to some degree. If, for example, I hit the spam button to report real spam, but there is a one-click unsubscribe link in the header of that spam email, I am now asked by Gmail if I want to unsubscribe via a pop up. Since the coding for this can't be too difficult, I see only an upside to including it, especially if it increases email deliverability.

    This happens with my community too.
    I am using Amazon SES. Some people, probably out of laziness or lack of awareness, mark their notification emails (event new private message ones) as spam which ends up hurting reputation.
    I have a suppression list setup on the SES side to prevent sending of emails in the future to the offending email address, however it does not stop the reputation being damaged in the first place.
    A list-unsubscribe in the email would absolutely help here.

    I don't know what the schedule is for v5, but it seems to me that some sort of patch might be needed here for v4, as this is ~6 months away. It's hard for me to believe that v5 will come out with enough time for everyone to get upgraded by then.

    So if I understand your response, perhaps my site won't function properly for 30-50% of Chrome users by the end of this year, and 100% one year from now, if you don't fix this issue in time?

    We are not going to simply allow all our customers to never use Google Chrome again. 😅 That would be a terrible decision.
    We will ensure it's resolved ahead of the removal later this year. We use an older plugin for jQuery to manage browser history state. We already plan to move that to native JS APIs in v5 and v4.

    I had to shut off guest commenting on my articles do to this issue...it was causing a huge delay on very single article page.
    Is there a reason that Captcha needs to load first on every single page when guest posting is allowed? Since only 1/200 people post a comment on my articles that is 199 times Captcha did not need to load at all. Why not only load Captcha when people click on the comment field?
