Any site update suggestions?

To me, it appears as though if you are not logged in, when you click on a thread, it takes you to the first page.

I just did it on this very thread, while logged in, and it took me to a blank page (I'm not entirely sure, but I THINK this happens when a last post was made on a page and you're getting the next page that has no posts yet).  It hit back on my browser, and did the same thing again.

I tried the "last post" button from my phone (not logged in), and it took me to the first page of a thread.

edit: so my post is indeed the first one on a new page.

I think this might only happen if a post has been deleted from a thread. I'll do some testing when I get chance this weekend.

I’m sure it will be good. My main “issue” was being able to copy and paste from excel and it keep the table. I’ll test that out soon. 

Copy and paste from Excel worked exactly like I would want it to. Thank you sir.

Cool, glad to help. 

'Lost Post' doesn't take me to the last post in the thread every time as I would think it would.

Maybe it cannot be found?

can not copy and paste--I have to ctrl+v...sorry if this has been addressed, but I'm too lazy to look back through this thread

LOL...ya' got me.

'Last' Post

When it doesn't work as you would expect, where does it take you? It doesn't take you to the last post made, necessarily. It takes you to the last post made since you viewed the thread, or at least it should. 

There is a request out to add a button that takes you to the last post, regardless of the last time you viewed the thread. I can expedite that request if that's what you're expecting as well. I don't think that would take too long to add.

So you can copy and paste, just not necessarily with your mouse depending on the browser you're in.

I feel like we're a bunch of assholes (we are, regardless) to keep asking for things to be changed, but... 

Like with vbulletin, is there anything that can show you a collection of when you are pos/neg repped?  And the comments you receive?

I noticed this too. I use Firefox on my laptop and it won’t let you click to copy and paste.

My expectation when I hit 'Last Post' is that it takes me to the last post at the end of the thread.  I can get there other ways, so if that isn't how the 'last post' button is supposed to work, I can still get there.

Currently you can view them on the individual posts, but not in a curated list. I can add it, if it's a quick thing I'll try to do it this week.

Yes. 

I emailed you some screenshots of some wires I was getting and a Facebook popup

I wondered who those were from. How'd you get my personal email address, creeper?

I'll take a look. I think what I'm going to do is temporarily turn off ads for you and wildcats and see if you still get that popup. If so, we'll know it has nothing to do with the google ads on the site. I'll let you know.

You emailed me a long time ago and Google saved it.

I'll let you know if I get that again.

Gotcha. I won't be able to turn ads off for you until at least tonight, so if you see it before then it won't really tell us anything. I'll let you know when ads are off for you.
