The BWW Tech Support Thread — Page 22

Looks like a new "Alerts" feature has been added. I noticed it a short while ago when I got an alert that someone up voted my post.

It is a nice feature but I noticed I got an alert that someone I have blocked commented on a thread I posted a comment in. Also, it seems that there is a "Keep watching this thread" option below the quick reply. I am assuming that you can control which threads you want to get alerts from by checking the box. That's nice but it looks like the box is already checked on all threads and you have to uncheck it if you don't want alerts. I guess either way you have to go to the box, but, just me, I would rather have the boxes unchecked and check them myself. I can see myself posting a comment without remembering to go to the box and unchecking it if I don't want alerts from it. JMO



Just noticed that even if I uncheck a "Keep watching this thread" box, it just stays checked when I exit the thread and a red dot appears next to the thread name on the message board.

Now, if we could just get rid of one user who continues to create new accounts -- after getting banned -- things would be great!

Over the past few days, various board pages have only partially loaded their content. This has been happening on multiple devices. The page ends up with some of the side links, ads, and so forth loaded, and a lot of white space without the specific content of that page displaying. It then then ceases to load anything further, even if I wait.

I've also found for a long time that logging out of the site, only inconsistently works. Often I can see that I'm still logged in after logging out, or the next time I visit the site after previously having logged out. It's odd.

There seems to be an issue with time stamps on posts. Some seem to be attributed to later times or different time zones, keeping older posts at the top of the board.

After I posted this, two older posts remain at the top despite my post here being the most recent.


Edit: this seems to be fixed, thanks!

Alerts now, again, take me directly to the comment. I have had 4 alerts in the same thread. It looks like you actually have to go back and forth from the thread to the "alerts" and click on them individually to reduce the alert numbers. Is there any way for all of the alerts in one thread to go away after you have clicked on one of maybe 2 or three in the same thread?

I personally like the alerts. There are times I may post a comment in a number of threads and forget which ones I commented in. I also find that there can be 2 or more threads on the same subject with similar titles and end up checking them until I find the one I commented in to see later comments. It would be nice if you could click on one alert and the rest of the alerts for that thread went away. Once in the thread, you will see all of the other comments in the alert.

I am also finding that alerts for the off-topic board take you to the Main Board when you click on them. There is a thread I commented in, unchecked the "following" box at the bottom but I am still getting alerts for comments in that thread.

This is all happening on my both Chromebook and Pixel phone.

Having major problems with the chat boards over the last couple of days. If I go to chat main page with all the threads, it seems to be fine. But if I click the last commenter or change pages, the boards disappear and it's a mass of ads with content (not the boards but the TV/headlines/most popular wedged in-between them. Happens on multiple browsers.

Thank you for phrasing this much better than my 50 paragraphs about it would have.

And... it looks like we now have separate buttons to guide us back to the main board and the show board.

Thanks!!

I have the "keep watching" box unchecked also but keep getting alerts when there is a post. I think it may be because I have commented in the threads. It is happening with every thread I have commented in.

I would really like it if it worked correctly.
