Kanadyan Kanary 121 Posted March 19, 2017 When I view the message board on my mobile, I only get to see half a message from some posters because the descriptor for the place they are from is way too long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kanadyan Kanary 121 Posted March 19, 2017 I can see all of Pyro Pete''s and flashman''s posts but only half of Jamie''s.

Chesney Hawkes 0 Posted March 20, 2017 This forum runs on Telligent''s Community Server platform, released in 2004.Latest release is Telligent Community v5.6, released 2010.It''s a little behind the times for the county''s primary online and print media company.

hogesar 9,660 Posted March 20, 2017 My biggest issue is they''ll claim it''s extortionate costs but there''s plenty of opensource alternatives available (no software license fee), maintenance would be low and the only cost would be database migration which again isn''t a huge deal.And baring in mind they''re more than happy to plaster full screen f*cking Nissan adverts all over the place you''d think it''s probably a fair deal.

westcoastcanary 173 Posted March 20, 2017 Re. the quote function, despite using the Mac Firefox user agent for Safari, which mostly does allow the quote function to operate correctly, I still keep getting the dreaded "mismatching quotes in block" message quite frequently. I can never identify any mismatch however careful I am. Anyone know why this happens? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,758 Posted March 20, 2017 It happens when someone has a non-letter/number in their username. Anyone that has an apostrophe,comma,full stop etc. causes that problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chesney Hawkes 0 Posted March 20, 2017 Yes, Herman has it. If it isn''t alphanumeric, our County''s leading media outlet can''t handle it.Delete any "special characters" from the name of the user name you are quoting. Were that it was so easy to delete the special characters themselves #Greavsy #Juge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slight qualification: those non-alphanumeric symbols accepted in e.g. e-mail identifiers (underline, for example) seem to work ok. For example, I have no problem quoting posts by iron_stan (not that I want to quote iron_stan very often........) [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
