A couple of minor bugs that annoy me.

[RA3236]

I'm here to report a few minor bugs that have been annoying me lately.

1. Let's get this part out of the way: @RA3236. Hmm, third letter.

For some reason on some of those mentions when I click (or tap on iPad) these things some random stuff comes up in the hyperlink that causes the page to display File Not Recieved: Number or something. I'll get back to you on an example. It's like forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/___something___/profile/ProfileNumber-Name - including the underscores.

2. My subscriptions aren't working as they used to, sometimes the forums miss when I get quoted or liked. Any ideas what might be the cause of this?

I would greatly appreciate if someone got time to find the cause of these bugs and fix them.

 

 

Update on the link bug: clicking my mention brings this up:

http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/{___base_url___}/index.php?/profile/150734-ra3236/

except with %7 instead of {}.

1. I can confirm this on chrome and win10.
2. That's weird.  I haven't noticed this, but I don't think I would notice this either.  Does it happen on alternate browsers?

1. Known issue, already reported to the IPS people.

2. Need more info. When you say your subscriptions don't work the way they used to, what do you mean exactly?

Please remember that we are unable to fix many issues with forum software as we are users of it rather than the developers, all we can do is report the issues and hope for the best.

Also, the first bug has been fixed in the latest version of IPS.  The next forum update should fix it.

My subscription settings are set to Notify me for being quoted and liked. As a matter of fact, I didn't get a notification when you three posted in this thread. Yes, I am following it.

I have my full notifications list open in a different tab, and I always scan through it to see what's happening but the forum sometimes misses when I get quoted, liked, or someone replies to my thread (as in, I do not get a notification). I'll double check my settings now to see if anything changed.

Yep, it all checks out.

@RA3236 Can you share or PM me a screenshot of your notification settings?

That all looks correct, is it only happening on your iPad or is it on other platforms, too?

I usually only use my iPad, but I haven't seen anything wrong on PC. Maybe a mobile thing?

Possibly. In theory it should work the same on all platforms, in practice there are sometimes differences between browsers. Have you got another browser on your iPad you can try with?

I am using Chrome, but I'll try Safari tomorrow to see if there was any difference.

[RA3236]

Confirmed it is happening on both Safari AND Windows 10 Google Chrome. Its probably because I am logged in to multiple devices at the same time. Ill keep you posted.
