Forum Issues

@martyn   Ah so it is a pdf not an image.   Linking to gallery etc. isn't going to work.

Send PM doesn't have the same option to Drag and Drop a file as an attachment that a full reply to a post has ** on some areas of this forum **  For example on your thread about the Peco Kit I tried a full reply and it gave me the option to Drag and Drop a file, it seemed to allow me to drop a 10Mb pdf, saying maximum size 16Mb.  I didn't actually post the attachment as it's a pdf I paid for years ago.




Yet the same Reply button on this thread doesn't give me the option?  Might be because this thread is set as a Notice?  I think I saw some sort of error come about about attachments not allowed for Notices.

pdfs can be attached to a normal post but not to PMs.
The forum does not support pdfs to upload to a gallery (Jeez, I hate that word)
It has always been thus.
One way round it, I've found' is to take a screen shot of the pdf and save it as a jpeg then upload it

Much though I appreciate the work gone in to improve the mobile phone version of the forum, looking at "All Unread" it doesn't say who was the last to post, so I don't know which ones to ignore.

Does on mine in landscape.

All I see is who started it. Doesn't tell me who the last post was.

[Newportnobby]

It does if you rotate your phone to landscape. On the right you can see who made the last post

[Hiawatha]

It does this only if I select the desktop website on the phone – but not the mobile version ...

[Newportnobby]

I haven't a clue about different versions
I just press the icon and up comes the forum.
The new improved Persil mobile version is far better than the old one

[Hiawatha]

I agree that the new mobile version is far better. The old red one never worked on my phone – it only displayed it once when connecting to NGF but from then it (thankfully) always showed the desktop version.


On the mobile version, the NGF does not show the Replies/Views/Reactions and Last Posts. The Replies/Views/Reactions I don't really need – but without the Last Post one can not go directly to that post, only to the top of the last page:




Only when I select the Desktop Website on the phone I can see the Last Posts:

[Bealman]

Ah, that's better! Thanks for that - I can now see the last poster.
