Before the migration I was able to select files and upload with little issue. Now I can't get anything to attach. Microsoft Edge doesn't play well with ChiefTalk - at least not this version of ChiefTalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolution Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Jon, you are using edge with no issues? Any trick to uploading files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Park Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Make sure you don't have another browser open when attaching or composing messages. If that works I think I might know what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Dan, I had Firefox open along with Edge. Not nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Park Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Ok, I am aware of an issue we had brought up with the software company that created the forum software in regard to being logged in on two devices, two browsers, etc. causing session data to be overwritten. If you browse on one device or browser at a time you should be fine. You don't have to log out, just close the browser window that is open to the forum. It only affects you if you are logged in on both devices/browsers with the same account on the same forum. We think the upload issue might be related to a token refresh redirection that is fired off during the upload. There is a fix in the alpha testing process of the software vendor, which I have confirmed resolves the issue. I expect the fix will be available in the next two weeks. In the meantime you can avoid the issue by closing any browser windows you have open to ChiefTalk before opening it up on another computer, or different browser. It should not affect multiple tabs in the same browser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Chrome open and logged into ChiefTalk. Anything but images failed to upload. Closed CT in Chrome and things worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to upload a few other items I commonly use as soon as I can find the time. The mantel file is 25Meg so it was there to test the limit. Quote reply feature from time to time does not work correctly for me. It keeps scrolling page up after 20 seconds I scrolled the page down let it sit and 20 seconds later it scroll to top.. Also can not reproduce it consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I can now attach files, however; I am unable to insert thumbnails. What's the trick there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownTiger Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 You drug the thumbnail to upload, hit on thumbnail to add it to your post. When you double click now thumbnail you can specify properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlackore Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 The "Drag files here to attach" is confusing. I recently replied to a post, and I kept trying to drag 'n drop a PNG file into the typing space where I wanted it to insert in-line with my comments, not realizing that I had to specifically target the lower part of the window until I get the "blue dotted" rectangle, then proceed with the in-line insert just like on the old forum. It seems like this would have been a good opportunity to stream-line that whole procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly, I cannot seem to find the "ribbon" that Glenn is referring to. IOW, how do I set it up to see latest unread post at top of thread? It's always a chore to figure out how these new formats work best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to understand your concern on scrolling since it appears to me the old site has the same issue. (Did you have a zoom level set on the old site?) Many browsers support a per site zoom level. I suspect if you work with that you will find a zoom level to your liking. When you put your mouse over the scroll bars they will display I don't know how that affects scrolling since you would have to put your mouse back over them to scroll or use a scroll wheel on the mouse. I'm having a hard time understanding your frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of that we don't always get our choice of how features are implemented. I can pass that request on to them, perhaps in a future update that might get implemented.

lbuttery Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Dan: I was doing nothing special on the old forum but I could see many more sections of the forum than I can now the scroll bar thing is a PITA if you stop to read a posting as you then have to mouse around until the arrow appears again then get over it again before scrolling can continue in the old forum the scroll arrow would not "disappear" so yes, I am frustrated Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Larry: I tried ctrl - and it makes it just a bit too small plus then when I go to other tabs I have to do ctrl 0 to get back to normal its a PITA either way Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
