Thanks.

I've tried using the Contact Us link (https://autoshite.com/contact/) 

a few times (about forgotten emails and passwords etc.) a few times but never received a response.

Does anybody monitor the contact attempts?

Bit of a bump- had a slightly similar concern, no replies. 

Thanks

As a new member, is there a guide to such things as user rankings and similarly, things like how long posts are pre-modded for (a very good idea IMO) and limits on things such as reactions to posts?

Yes. I am In the process of something along these lines. Hopefully by the end of the month.

aww your going to spoil the Mystery! LOL

when I first signed up, I thought the more unusual user ranks where assigned to users of note by the moderators having some fun  (this thought was helped by the fact that when people did set custom user titles/ranks they kept the "Rank:" bit)

it was only after a little while did I figure out that after 500 posts you can/could set your own  and It still took me some time to figure what was an actual Rank or what was a custom Rank/title set by the user LOL

(its why when I set mine, I kept the "Rank:" bit just to keep the Mystery alive LOL)

[brownnova]

Don’t worry... not going to spoil the mystery...

You can....?

I have encounter quite a few forum text editor bugs

but this is a new one! 

seems harmless as when I posted the red text it thankfully was not red in the posted post (notice the blinking cursor itself was red as well never seen that before)

but still made me go WTF LOL, and figured id post it just incase it might give clues to the other bugs mentioned here etc @tobyd

(Chrome 88.0 on OS X 10.14.6) 

[tobyd]

I'd imagine thats got something to do with the spelling correction deciding to continue to red text span - I don't get the option for spellig correction on Edge, FF or chrome on win 10 but i'll have a go with Linux later and see what it think.

I'm getting frequent occurrences of the error in the attached screenshot. A quick google shows it to be related to the memory size limit on the server, with this as the suggested remedy:

Please find line "memory_limit =" in "php.ini" , then replace it with "memory_limit = 100M"

Can anyone take a look at this?

Forum page has got incredibly slow as of late. I can only access two threads before the site baulks and times out for roughly 10 minutes before going back to normal. Yesterday evening it was completely inaccessible. Is anyone else having this issue or is this my ISP doing silly buggers?

I am not having those issues. Maybe Interweb browser issue...... clear cache and cookies to see if that helps.

Yes that's Tapatalk

Router's cache was automatically reset and it seems it's fine again. I love it when things fix themselves.

How do I search my content? I tried the idea on page 1 but what you suggest is not there. 

I also tried the "highlighting the section you want to quote" and that didn't work either.

Its not going well!

I think this might be a problem with Firefox. Works fine on Chrome on my phone (I use Firefox by default, v81.1.1) but images about 1.4M don't upload as you described. I plugged my phone into the debugger and there is nothing there, no errors, no network activity, zip. Very Odd. I increased the limit temporarily back to 2k and it was still a problem. Firefox have an open bug about this exhibiting the exact symptoms but it was back on v62 - someone commented they were still seeing this on a phpBB forum. I don't know if this is related to the updates in FF v81 - that was quite an overhaul - or whether it predates that. Will keep digging.

Can confirm this issue is still alive and well on the latest version firefox.  2mb image upload just hangs the uploader.  Will try chrome, but it seems odd that it's only and issue on mobile devices.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but how can I edit and/or delete my signature text please? I only see the signature when using an actual computer rather than my phone as I usually do, but I'm aware that it contains a list of cars that I no longer own...

Go to your account at top right.

From the drop-down click account settings (under SETTINGS)

On the left you will see a list of items which can be edited. One of them is signature.

Probably hopelessly the wrong thread.  Does anyone else have chrome on Android crash when trying to reply to a PM in portrait mode?

[bunglebus]

Here's a question about something I've only just noticed - why are some usernames different colours? Most are blue when using my phone but there are some in pink or green. Custom setting I haven't found, or something else?

[MorrisItalSLX]

Blue is for ordinary members

Green is for moderators

Purple/pink is for probationary users

In the past there was Yellow for banned members and Red too (for admin?), but I haven’t seen either of those in years.

[High Jetter]

I see coloured names on my 'phone, but they're all in black on my PC (Windows, Firefox)

Using Gmail to receive my daily digest. Had this occur several times in the past. I do not feel I have never received any digest beacuse of this warning.

I do not know why  Gmail has an issue with AS digests at times. I obviously click the "looks safe" button.

I am only adding it here in case there is a greater issue later.

Since the last board update, the forum causes insane processor use, particularly with longer threads. 

No other forum does this, even with 1000+ page threads. Means I can't view the forum on battery because it drains it so fast. Is there something I can turn off in the forum settings? 

Safari 13.1.3 on macOS 10.15.7

Not sure about this one, we had some problems with outlook a while ago so only really looked into that. I'll take a look at what gmail doesn't like.

I'm fairly sure apple stuff uses the same gubbins underneath no matter which browser you use but....does it do the same on Chrome, Firefox, Safari?

That’s only the case on iOS, on the Mac browsers still use their own underpinnings. I’ll try browsing the forum in Chrome or Firefox for a bit and report back.

Since when have we been able to set up TOTP? Top work @tobyd, I'm going to take great delight in telling folk at work that if a beige car forum can implement MFA, so can an NHS web application.

This still happens every time.

[tobyd]

It's been enabled for a while! I forced it on the mods recentlyish but left it optional for everyone else.
