@CCadmin_Sorin now what? I sent you a screen shot.
Everyone…when my iPad is in landscape mode, to the left of the magnifying glass for the search at the top of the page…there is now a grey vertical box with some letters in it. This just appeared…and doesn’t appear in portrait mode.
What’s this all about.
Oh…and the little magnifying glass doesn’t any longer go anywhere. The search function has been poor…but this goes beyond poor.
Anyone else?
Me. Except in portrait mode my box says FORUMS with a downward arrow. When I tap on it ‘Schools’ and ‘Forums’ appear in boxes, but if you tap either nothing happens.
On the top right if I tap on my avatar notification, inbox, bookmarks and settings appear. When I tap on those just empty white box comes up.
In landscape mode I see all the stuff on the right top and if I tap on inbox at least my messages appear. The box with some letters showing ( mine appear in top middle of page I see vertically the letters or u ms. Obviously Forums.
Looks like they messed their “improvements” up again.
Par for the course.
I will take screen shots if admins want to see.
On both laptop and iphone I have a new header that is thick. So, when I bring up a thread, the first message I haven’t read is partially obscured by the header. Annoying.
On the header I have the down arrow allowing one to choose forums or schools, and I assume those areas would be where the search is limited to.
Agree the search function still doesn’t work well. If I search the term football in forums I don’t get threads, I get every single post in the recent college football revenue loss thread. Not so helpful.
I can’t see if I have notifications on my phone. Also happy to send an image.
I had no idea the Forums and School boxes were for search function. That is the stupidest way I ever saw a search function presented. I thought when I clicked on ‘Forums’ it would take me to a list of the Forums on this site.
Who the heck came up with that dumb way of doing it? All one needs is a magnify glass icon.
Maybe the design people need to go and see how other sites do things instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. They just replace one disaster with another. They can’t get anything right.
Yes…the letters in the grey vertical box next to the magnifying glass…either schools or forums. But the little magnifying glass does nothing at all.
What’s going on?
Check you inbox - if you can.
I didn’t initially see it either. I’m using Chrome on an Android phone. Both icons at the top right give drop down menus. To find notifications or bookmarks, tap the avatar for your account. The number of notifications is partially cutoff. Haven’t had a chance to check the iPhone, S30 (yes, he has a way to go) has taken it hostage, lol.
I know how to get the notifications but I can’t read the number or see what threads. I can’t even see even to try to click on a thread.
Another glitch: When I click on a thread, it takes me to the latest post as usual BUT the user’s name and avatar are cut off so I have to scroll up a little to see who wrote it. @CCadmin_Sorin, can you look into it?
The issue @thumper1 reported (i.e. the weird “forums” mentioned) is a bug the team will hopefully be able to fix pretty soon. I created an internal ticket for the notifications issue (as it’s impossible for me too to get to the “View all notifications” page, especially on mobile). I’ll keep you updated. Thanks!
@MaineLonghorn, I am not able to replicate this. Can you please send me a screenshot? Thanks!
As we work to fix the navigation issue, you can use the URLs below to get to your inbox and notifications:
INBOX: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/messages/inbox
NOTIFICATIONS: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/profile/notifications
I cant scroll through notifications at all either.
Unfortunately no one can, @2plustrio. I’ll update you once it’s fixed.
