MOL updates - please report issues here.

Heynj said:
Not sure if this is related, but the timing was identical -- ever since the updates, I cannot keep the MOL homepage (or any MOL pages) on my phone screen. I put the address in, and in maybe three seconds, my iPhone goes back to the previous website I visited. Any suggestions?

 Thanks for the heads up - that's really odd, will pass it on to the team.

I have a non-update related question if you don’t mind.  

Is there any way to do a search for a particular page number?

What’s being said in the Rose Garden? what’s happening in Washington?

 Have I been banned without a heads up? 

Are you silencing the only thread by a conservative, Catholic, octogenarian widow  on MOL? Diversity not allowed here?

no - you're not banned at all - what error are you getting?

I see it appears to be missing - looking into this.

Discussion has returned - sorry for the downtime, I might have inadvertently removed it.

My faith in MOL has been restored!  Thanks, Jamie.

I just noticed something weird. In doing a search for a phrase in comments, any forum, any year, the comment date results are incorrect. They're all showing the date and time of the last post in that thread, no matter what day/month/year that comment was made. I can click on it and it will take mew to the correct comment, but there's no real way of knowing how old it was from the search page. So say I search for something and it brings up multiple comments in the Rose Garden thread, as an example, all of those comments are listed at the date/time of the last comment made (today at 8.14am). Example posted below.

Yes - thanks for pointing this out - this bug has been reported.  The date showing is the date/time of last post on the thread.

is there a solution for comments and replies from being bundled up in one green blob? This is an example, but there are some instances twice as long.

Why do I get this pop-up every time I go to a different page? It's been a couple days now. 

Google Chrome Version 70.0.3538.110 (Official Build) (64-bit) on a Mac Mini running MacOS 10.14.1.

thanks for the heads up on that - it should only show if you had typed something into the comment box and the tried to leave a page.

We'll look into this.

 We will be brainstorming this soon.

 @jamie, I was getting the same when I was trying to edit a post.

Edit the post .. hit Submit .. got the Leave Site? popup.  Left the page and the edit wasn't saved.

thanks - I did notice that issue as well - but my edit saved.     we’ll figure it out tonight or turn this feature off.

Er, I just tried to open the "40" thread by Lost, which is currently at the top of the page, and it sent me to this closed thread from 2006:

https://maplewood.worldwebs.com/forums/discussion/40

Same thing happened to me as above.

 I get the pop up when I edit a post. 

ok, thanks for heads up - the 40 discussion link is fixed.

We'll have a pop up fix overnight. 

don’t forget the green blog issue — TIA

 Yes, like I said- we're brainstorming this issue - it'a not an easy fix.  It might take another week or two.

The last couple of days MOL doesn't keep me logged in from the day before.  I then have to go to  the log in screen where all my info is shown and log in from that screen.  I have NOT accidentally checked the "don't remember me box".  How do I get my auto log in back?

What type of browser are you using - are you on mobile?  Sometimes it won't save if you're using a private window or are in incognito mode.

I use Firefox on my PC and have not changed any settings or use a private window or incognito  mode.  I'm not having any problems with my Samsung Tablet.    This happened the last time MOL was updated and  cleared up mysteriously by itself after a few days.

 Isn't that a "feature"?  (It's not new, is it?)

 ...and the miracle occurred again this morning! All's good with MOL and my PC remembering to keep me logged in.

I also get logged out every time I leave and return.  

never mind.  I think I was in private mode.  

Jamie, have you transplanted the Rose Garden thread again?

 It's back now - have no idea how this happened again.  Thanks for the heads up.
