Where did the cancel button go, when writing a reply post and deciding to not post it?

 

I found this below that might help.

And now I can’t upload an image. Will try edit once I’ve posted this.

Laptop / PC

I'm a fossil, set in my ways. Takes me a bit of time to get used to sudden changes, especially where computer technology is involved.

 

I hear you .... 

 

When a photography forum made drastic changes I just logged out, for good ....

 

Trust me, this new layout really works better   Well worth taking an hour or two to get used to it.

 

"Recent threads" - still on the right on the PC.  On the phone just scroll further down when you are done with a thread and the current threads are at the bottom of the screen.

 

 

Loading photos are MUCH easier on the PC.  Yet to try it on the phone.

So in this latest update, my post count has dropped? There some topics been removed perminantly?

Not to do with the 'new' forum but would appreciate 5 mins to edit postings to fix typos before the post being flagged as 'edited' - others do that, such as YouTube

It was mentioned earlier in this thread, I think. I posted my count at the time I saw the comment from Admin. 
 

Mine has dropped by +/- 1000

For some reason I am really struggling with the search function under the forums.

An example, I just did a search looking for "YT" and before a good few threads would pop up...now, nothing.

And all I want to do is post this

Please get photos of his new bike.

There are still processes running the background indexing all the previous content for search. It should improve once done.

Otherwise, I usually go straight to Google to search on Bike Hub. Can't compete with them.

The Alan bike check caused issues when we converted the articles to the new platform so I deleted it. It is on the to-do list for republishing next week.

Here's cached copy in the meantime:

3 cool features of the updated version:

• piccies can be downloaded  from my smartie phone ???? 
• the full range of emotional icons is accessible ????

• the list of recent topics at the bottom of the screen ⚡️
 

Good job, Team BikeHub ????

How do I ignore/block a member on the mobile version huh? 

[WrightJnr]

I’ve lost interest until Tapatalk starts working again. I’ve got all my forums nicely setup and laid out until this “upgrade”.

Interesting niggle this afternoon, posting on the Hub via the phone.

 

Wanted to post on the UCI thread.  Somehow clicked on "Quote" instead of the new reply box ....  I had typed a few words when I realised the issue.  No problem, user error, just use the "back" button, click in the reply box, types and post.  OOPS, it posts in the previous thread I was looking at   Okay, delete the content of this message.

 

Go back to the UCI thread and click in the reply box .... NOPE, it recalls my half typed message.  

 

Switch app off, start again .... nope, it keeps on recalling the old half typed message.

Rapidly losing interest after this "downgrade"! ????

The flow of the old website has been lost, you now have to click on everything to follow links and can no longer hover over to move through the menus.

From the home page if you CTRL+rghtclick it doesnt open in a new tab it still opens in the same window.

Not always taking me to the last read post.

I think I will give the website a break for a few weeks while the gremlins hopefully get sorted out! ????

I agree with you. Navigating around the new version is tedious and cumbersome, I'm having a real hard time at it.

Maybe it is a sign to also give it a break.
