Forum Read Update

Me too....!

I agree with David it needs to be changed. The rotating circle is the sign to indicate "wait". As nothing is going to happen it is not appropriate as it is confusing.

Yeah I liked it also but we needed a single standard and there is conflict with the rotating icon and page loading etc etc. It is now at least consistent, plus there is now a few more new things like Mark Page Read. Check my Replies below for the other updates loaded now.

Good stuff David, it looks great and feels easy to use.
Thanks for listening to the input.

Great job mate.

Thanks for adding the date and time to followups. It will help when looking at older threads in the future.

Cheers

Since this is a bit of a technical thread, can I ask what the implications are of logging in with Facebook? I have the suspicion that when I've logged in to other apps with my Facebook login, things seem to get posted to my Facebook page without my knowledge, but this could be my imagination.

Grateful some clarity from the oracle ??

Paul,

There are no issues the ExplorOz Facebook connection only takes some basic details from your profile to configure the ExplorOz user record after that we only valid that you are still using the same Facebook profile each time you login (ie: we valid your user/password using OAUTH via Facebook). The ExplorOz app linking does not post anything (we did for a while trial this but it is so complex to setup and maintain with FB that we gave it away) or read anything from your profile or friends lists.

I cannot answer for other FB apps as a great number do in fact post to FB on your behalf however when you make the initial connection to the app it must report what permissions you are giving to the app. So if you are concerned simply remove an app and add it again to check the permission or I think you can see the permissions on the Apps configuration page.

David

As David has mentioned, check all your FB apps as many default to you agreeing that they will post on your behalf, you need to uncheck the permission.

Many thanks. Great reassurance.

This should now be fixed.
Thanks

Thanks, I cannot upload to File Swap either

Ah crap I forgot to enable member uploads - I was testing it as admin and then promptly forgot to turn on the members switch. Darn I hate that. I have now turned it on. Would you be so kind as to see if the upload buttons now appear in the sub folders?

All good cheers David

Garry,

That is how it currently works and I just tested it in this thread. If you have previously read a reply/followup group the system will alert you to a change to the reply (as a new followup) and only the un-read followups will have the comment bubble icon. We can test it hear if you like.

When you open this reply the comment bubble will be attached to this followup. Go back tot he index and open this up again and the arrow ill be on this followup.

David

Ok - that is not the way it is working for me - all followups have the thought bubble icon - I dont have any unread threads at the moment so I will double check later in the day threads with followups in them and report back.

Thanks

Garry

Ok - some threads seem to be working as adverised but I did get one that was as I claimed - for the moment I will put that down to my finger problem - so operator error.

If I have any further issues I will let you know but operator error might be the go.

Cheers and thanks

Garry
