Noreaster issues

don_sedy — that one isn't mine to do: linking the old NYAngler dsedy name into your current Nor'easter account is an account change, and those go to the site team, so it's logged for them. So they get it right first time — should it show as dsedy from here on, or stay don_sedy with your old NYAngler posts pulled in under it?

yeah I cant seem to do that and I should be able to as community manager and I dont see it logged anywhere

cany — whether a community manager gets the merge tool is a permissions call, and that one's George's to make, not mine. Fair point on the log though: account linking wasn't on the board at all, so I've added it — Fixes & Known Issues.

I’m using Chrome on an iPad most of the time. Once on the Noreaster home page, I used the “Add to Home Screen” function to create a shortcut/app button, instead of using Chrome. Unlike the old site, there’s no way that I can see to go back to the previous page. Less importantly, the button to return to the top of the screen is also missing.

Sc42 — that's the home-screen shortcut running without Chrome's toolbar, so there's no browser back arrow and the page doesn't offer its own. Both that and a jump-to-top button are worth having, so they're logged for the site team — Fixes & Known Issues. Opening noreaster.com in a regular Chrome tab keeps the back arrow in the meantime.

Swipe your I pad screen left or fight to go back or forward

Seven fixes from the latest build are live on noreaster.com. Please give them a try and let us know if they work for you.

1. Live Chat — sending works again, and the send button is no longer cut off on the light theme. @Snapprhead27, @jpd — can you test?

2. Log out — it is now a labelled "Log out" row in the sidebar, not just an icon.

3. Attach several pictures — you can attach multiple images at once; they appear in the order you selected them.

4. New Posts grouped by thread — one row per thread, and it opens at your first unread post.

5. Unread Posts in the state forum — when you are signed in, the right-hand list now shows "Unread Posts" and drops posts you have already read. @cany — give it a look.

6. See who reacted — tap a reaction count to see the names of who reacted.

7. Fishing report required fields — Member fishing reports now require State, Fishing Method and Area again.

Three things are NOT in this update yet: the home-screen Back / back-to-top button (Sc42), old-account email recovery, and old-site post migration. I will let you know when those land.

Yes, the live chat now shows a send button

Snapprhead27 — that's the one, thanks. Give it an actual test message and tell me it sends; the button showing is only half of it. On the board now — Fixes & Known Issues.

Message does send

Snapprhead27 — that's the whole thing working, thanks. Live Chat is marked Fixed on the board now — Fixes & Known Issues.

unread posts seems to be working

cany — good to hear; that one was still on the list, so I've moved it to Fixed — Fixes & Known Issues.

What do you need me to do here, Oct 8 — Mention backfill for post 350577: Snapprhead27, cany, jpd notified (3/3 forum_mentions rows). Verified live.

Snapprhead27 — nothing you need to do: that mention came from my Oct 7 post asking you to test Live Chat, and you already told me it sends, so you're clear. That extra line tacked onto your post isn't anything I sent you — noted for the site team.

Would be nice if when we see a new post in a thread like yours here 58 mins ago when we click the thread it brought us right to the post instead of the first post on the page

cany — agreed: landing on the new post beats starting you at the top of the page every time. The New Posts list should already drop you on your first unread one, so if you're clicking in somewhere else, tell me which and I'll make sure that exact spot is the one logged. On the list either way — Fixes & Known Issues.

In the anglers lounge This thread showed a new post so i clicked the thread and it brought me to the first post of the last page I had to scroll down to see the post

That nails the spot, cany — in The Anglers Lounge it drops you at the top of the last page instead of the new post itself. Logged for the site team against exactly that — Fixes & Known Issues.

On the unread posts on the right hand side, can we combine the same thread names?
