Ask your forum functionality questions here....How do I.....?

I thought it might be helpful to have one thread where people can ask how to do things in the new forum. Maybe we can get it stickied.

I'll start. How do you delete a draft?

they need to make an app for this forum

Maybe so. They updated the whole platform not long ago and finally got most of the bugs ironed out but every once in a while there's a hiccup like the one I'm trying to bring to their attention with this post.

Usually, Krebsie will eventually stumble over this post and, with any luck at all, he'll fix it.

HEY, KREBSIE!! DID YOU CATCH THE HINT, BUDDY??

Thanks. I know you'll get to it pretty soon. It's kinda aggravating....

yo, Mr. Krebs. Are you there, Bro??

Just don't make it Tapatalk, I hate having to keep clicking on that little "x" at the top of the screen to say that I don't want to download and use Tapatalk.

Boy, I'll drink to that, Chris. Of course, I'll drink to 'most anything. But seriously, IMHO, Tapatalk is a pain in the tuckus...

So, here's another question @krebsie will probably never answer but I keep trying. Ever the optimist, that's me.

Heres the problem: I go to my profile page with the intention of updating my list of favorite cigars. (I'm on my iPhone, remember). Up in the right corner of the page there's a place for me to click to edit my profile.

So, I click on it and when the edit page opens I scroll down to where my list of favorite cigars is - only instead of my list, there's one line of it visible in one of those little windows that will usually let you scroll through whatever is visible until you get to the part you're looking for. Only, this one doesn't let you scroll.

Now, howinhell is a guy supposed to edit something like that?? It almost makes you believe that whoever designed this forum platform had his head securely lodged up his nether regions - if you get my drift.

So, if you DO happen to stumble across this post, @krebsie, could ya please help out here? Thanks, pal....

You have the tenacity of a bulldog, old timer!

Well, ya know, his ignoring us annoys me so I figure what's good for the goose.... and all that stuff.

He annoys me so I'll keep niggling at him in hopes I can annoy him in return. Maybe one day he'll get the hint....

Hell, he hasn't shown up in so long he probably doesn't even work for Ccom any more....

As we used to say in the Navy, Negatory. My oracle does what I need it to do and a tablet won't fit in my shirt pocket.

But thanks for the thought.

You got it right, Randy. Old Peter's memory must be slipping....

So, Nanner nanner, Mr. Smart Guy Peter - I went on my laptop and opened the 'Edit Profile' page and guess what?? There's still that same little one-line window to peek through and try to edit your list of favorite cigars. It can't be done. So there. Too. Also. (Sound of razz berry)

HEY, KREBSIEEEEEE......

When I go to the forum on my phone all I get is a blank white screen. Laptop access is normal as far as I can tell. I have a shortcut Icon on my phone. Don't remember how I got the icon but it used to take me directly to "recent discussions". I can access the cigar.com website without using the Icon, and it functions OK, and I logged into my account, but when I navigate from there to the forum, I still get the blank screen. There is a scroll bar on the right side of the screen and my history says I'm on the website but what has gone wrong?

Bob_Luken

Update: I did a little googling and tried "Clear History and Website data" and that seemed to bring it all back to normal.

Yakster

I'm glad you figured it out Bob, because I had no idea about that one.

Bob_Luken

Where is that kayak thread? It's like it doesn't exist.

The thread does exist.

The search function doesn't exist!

Bob_Luken

Even if I spell it exactly as the thread is written it won’t find it!

Search function sucks. Just typing 'kayak: should have dredged it up.

peter4jc

@Yakster uses Google to search the forum, but I don't know how that works.

Yakster

The forum search function does need help. Here's my workarounds.

Bookmarks: I bookmark threads started by others that I want to come back to. This is done by clicking on the hollow star next to the top message in a thread. It will turn solid and appear in your bookmarks. Very handy. @Bob_Luken, you should join my bookmark contest now. https://forum.cigar.com/discussion/902561/guess-how-many-bookmarks-i-have#latest
My Discussions: If I started the thread, I look through the My Discussions section to find it. Hmm, that might make a good future contest. https://forum.cigar.com/discussions/mine
Google Site Search: By starting a Google search with the terms site:forum.cigar.com followed by the search term you'll get results from the forum in a Google search. Ex. "site:forum.cigar.com kayak". Look at all these results. There are also a bunch of results on cigars canoeing which the algorithm thinks are related and single posts mentioning kayaks in the middle of non-kayak threads.

Kayaking and cigars
Kayaking in Indiana
Kayaks
Any body kayak?
