Software update

Blimey, I didn't notice it. 

But now I have another problem: you tagged me but I received no alert. 

Huh!  I received one from you fine.  Did you scroll all the way up to the top of your screen?  And are you on a phone, computer, iPad, etc.?

By the way (to all here, I did notice that alerts (even after you have read them) stay in your personal message history--like emails.  They stay there until you delete them.  When I clicked on All Alerts, I realized that I had already amassed three pages of them!  There is a way there though to delete them all or to do it individually.  Just a heads up.

I just checked my alert history and actually I did receive an alert for your tagging me but it was one of several alerts and it was easy for me to overlook it.

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Oh, good.  Glad that all is working well for you. @Florestan

@Florestan how 'bout this?

Scroll to the bottom and there's a "delete all read alerts" button, @Pohjolas Daughter

It works alright, thanks, Karl.

Updated Topics - if I reply to a thread, the thread will pop up in this list. How can I get a thread on this list without posting in the thread?

You can't --- but if you click on Unread Posts you will get a list of all threads where a new post has been made, not only those threads where you posted.

Bummer. On the old version it was an option. Maybe its something Rob can enable.

Oh, interesting!  I didn't know that.  I do know that if you go under "Preferences" you can click on something along the lines of "Notify me of new threads".

p.s.  And thanks Karl.  I had found the "Delete all" button earlier.

You can delete alerts but I have to do it one by one. I marked all alerts read, and tried to delete them all at once, by clicking at the bottom of the page, but that does not work for me!

[Mandryka]

Any chance we can make "modify" into a button alongside "quote"" etc? So many edits I make are about changing font style etc that I wonder if it would be better to just change "quick edit" to "modify".

"Save draft" is a PITA for me -- I keep pressing it instead of "post" and get some pesky warning

[Mandryka]

Also, annoyingly, mentions don't produce the list of members names in quick edit (it does in modify)

And even more annoyingly, if you start a quick edit and then realise you need some feature of modify, you lose all the changes you've made if you change.

As you can see, I'm not a fan of quick edit, or the UI for this part of the software.

So, clicking on "Delete all Read Alerts" didn't work?  Are you sure that you didn't perhaps click on a button (not sure if there is one) that first changed all of the alerts to "Unread"?

PD

EDIT:  I'm not seeing any button to do that (as in "Mark all unread").

I just discovered the alerts feature which I like.

Blimey, Jeffrey, you are really 50 years behind today...

Eh? I've never seen such an option.

Edit: If it was an option to control which threads appeared on Updated Topics, there are certain threads I would have REMOVED from there several years ago. I remember specifically asking.

[Wanderer]

Not that it answers your question directly,  but I have my posts set to display as most recent first,  and as I scroll down the page the pictures are already loaded.  Doing it this way may seem annoying to maintain continuity,  but you soon grow used to it.

Thanks, Gurn! It'd be great if something could actually be done about this annoying glitch, though. 😎

True,  but it won't be by me.  Using this as a workaround,  I never knew the other problem existed.  So there's that... 😃

Paypal auto-renewed my subscriber payment - I guess I should have manually canceled it and restarted it? Too late
