WebmasterWorld Updates and changes 2022

[Brett_Tabke]

We are doing a little spring dusting and cleaning around here.

- Switched back to forums index page for home page.
- Rearranged many of the forums on the index page.
- Slowly deprecating forums that get very little use.
- Removed DuckDuckGo as a site search option (they just use Bing.)
- We are going to be adding the forum friendly Brave Search [search.brave.com] as the new default search engine.

Thanks for the update, and the hard work behind the scenes!

Almost logged out after reading this and FOO.
But scrolling a bit further revealed more.

What's with the "Reset Last Read Pointers?" not working the past few days?

[Brett_Tabke]

Hard to say - I was unaware. I will look at it.

I've been code cleaning for a couple weeks and made some changes to core routines.

[No5needinput]

It must be a cookie setting in Chrome as it remembers the last reset cookie when I use FireFox. Possibly one of my Chrome extensions is causing it after updating.

[Brett_Tabke]

Ya, I can't reproduce an issue.

And liking what I see!

Thanks!

What's with the "Reset Last Read Pointers?" not working the past few days?

Yeah. It's happening here, too.
I'll clear cookies and see if it happens on my next visit.

[Brett_Tabke]

Yep, getting it now myself. On the list to investigate.

[Brett_Tabke]

I think I found that issue with last read pointers.

[No5needinput]

Cool! Makes life a little easier for my morning read :-)

[Dimitri]

Peace first, then ,...

There is still this obscure Easter-egg text : "this is im: /home/webmasterworld/public_html/temp/FeaturedImages/forum30/5065815.png" when editing a message.

[Brett_Tabke]

Thanks Dimitri. Found it.

Is this a feature or a bug?

When posting to an existing thread, after I Submit it takes me to the top of the thread instead of the newly created post. In fact, the address bar explicitly includes the post number of the thread's first post, in this case

https://www.webmasterworld.com/webmasterworld/5063509.htm#msg5063511

Edit: But if I then edit, I end up where I wanted to be. (Got a vague notion it used to be the other way around, infuriatingly!)

[Brett_Tabke]

Ya, buggo boo. There is a glitch somewhere with the auto refresh. On the list. thanks!

Some other stuff in the works...
