I cleared the cache on my iPad Chrome browser, and now I can see mentioned users, but only when using the desktop BikeforumsNG version. If I switch to the mobile version mentioned names do no display.

@IBThomas, when I try to look at my quotes or mentions, I get this page, with no useful information. This happens on my iphone using both the Chrome and Safari browsers.

I was able to reproduce. Reported the issue to tech. A fix should be on the way now.

The new layout / format of search results using the 'search this forum' feature is beyond awful. Used to look like a thread listing page in the forums. Now it looks like individual boxes, parts of posts, who knows what. It's absolutely terrible.

Can you post a screen shot of your results so I can see what you're talking about? My results on Google chrome running on Windows 7 is fine. Let me know what browser and device you're using, too.

What other browsers and operating systems did you test on?

Can we revert back to the old site? Seriously. BF has implemented a redesign and reverted before.

You guys made the site worse with this update, not better.

The search was just recently changed to the old style, late yesterday. It should have resolved the complaint above.

Yes, thank you. It has been corrected. Thanks for taking care of that. If it happens again, I will get some screen shots.

Chrome, FireFox, and IE all on Windows 7. It was tested after the seach update went through, so my test didn't reflect the search issue since it was already taken care of.

Maybe somebody has already commented on this, but I have noticed that my post count, under my avatar, has stopped, but the quote count is moving upwards.I have made quite a few posts since the update. Any suggestions? Has it something to do P and R, and Trollheim?

You and I make a lot of posts to Foo and yes, places that are OT forums don't register in post counts.

Have you made any posts to other forums, and did your count rise posting here?

Weird, my post count will register in this forum, but you're right - it doesn't seem to register for me when I post in Foo. Reporting the issue to tech.

So we actually do not count posts in The Lounge on purpose. We only count posts that pertain to cycling. We don't want someone with thousands of posts on off-topic forums and hardly any cycling posts to seem like they're really into biking.

In the recent past month or so, I have not been able to use the codes to link to a post, a thread, or URL: “[post=####]text[/post],” “[thread=####]text[thread]," and "[URL=http...[/URL]." They appear as written, rather than an underlined link as was the case for years previously.

I note that the BB Code List is still present under the FAQ tab. Any comments?

Test

Try using [post=postid]value[/post] with the value being the text you'd like to use.

It also might be easier to use the link option in your post options.

I can't figure out what the 'gallery' is for. Another user invited me to look at his gallery photos. How do I find it (assuming I know the user's user name)? Is there any way to search the gallery?

It's just a place to store your photos on the website, and for members to see what's going on. To view their gallery, they'd have to link you.

Here's a way to find a particular member's gallery:
  • Go to their profile page and copy the number at the end of the URL (this is their userID)
  • Paste this into your url bar, and add to the end the use number if the profile you visited: https://www.bikeforums.net/g/user/
  • Hit return

That would be great if you can. There are a few threads where we use Courier New to preserve formatting, and it would be nice to have a menu option rather than needing to do it manually using formatting tags.

Thanks!

I'm not a font-o-phile, and I rarely want to change fonts, but this is lame. Sorry to sound so critical, but come on, this is 2018, and you're going backwards.
