Welcome to the New Android Forums

[Fox Mulder]

I'm trying to identify anyone who paid for VIP and is still owed the promised 6 months no ads, Thom was one of them

I was comp'ed for helping out with the Early Bird project. Or was it Channels, I forget now. Not sure how or if that will show up.

Is the disappearance of the 'Guest Questions Team' forum and the 'Contributor' designator temporary or permanent?

I can't honestly say I'm bothered either way.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Looks like my status is restored, all is right with the world. Thanks.

I think there have been bigger changes than that. Seen anyone wearing a guide badge lately?

At this point it seems both of those groups have been dissolved.

 

[Fox Mulder]

You need more than a guide to get around here now, more like a sherpa, a service dog, and Google Maps simultaneously. And you can still get lost-

 

[Thom]

The people are still here and willing to help.

Guide and "Guest Questions" usergroups have been removed and may or may not be rebuilt in the future.

With all the crap that has been going on I haven't been as regular a visitor as usual but I did notice the other day that one Guide had become a Moderator.

Perhaps a short heads-up about it wouldn't have gone amiss - one post amongst the hundreds over the last few weeks regarding all the various problems.

There is no "New Thread" button at the top of the forum list which may be why I've seen an uptick in posts with new members saying they don't know how to create a new thread.

There is a button if one scrolls all they way to the end of a forum page.

Fixed! Thanks for the heads up.

Ah, so the trick is to ask

I was in a similar situation, but as it was a gratuity from the forum I don't feel I've a right to it - it's certainly more important to sort out those who actually paid!

You should ask.

 

[Hadron]

Oh, go on then: please uncle Phases, can I have my gold badge back?

I don't disagree, and I wasn't really just holding my hand out as much as reporting another possible glitch in the machine. I already had the status, which was awarded for a reason (one that I tried to fulfill as requested), so only trying to get things closer to the way they were before the big change/upheaval/whatever you wish to call it.
I fully realize that such titles are given at the discretion of the powers that be around here and are subject to scrutiny and revocation at any time.
And all that said, you certainly deserve it as much as anyone.

 

[Hadron]

Oh, I wasn't criticising for asking. But my own promotion actually came as a surprise to me when it happened - I noticed the gold badge but assumed it was a glitch for the first few hours .

 

[Thom]

Based on my interactions with you and what I learned from you through the years I never assumed it was a glitch.

My initial reaction was ... "well don e" ... "about time".

There is another person in this category also.

[Hadron]

Oh, I see I've gone gold again - thanks Boss

OK, the dropdowns on the home page (favorites, recent, all, trending etc) now remember settings for a month or so - AND pagination is at the bottom of the home page threads

The next button only seems to work when clicking the first time, it doesn't seem to work after that

Can confirm.

The "Next" link says "page=2" regardless of the page you're on. Clicking the page numbers appears to work, but always indicates you're on page 1.

 

[Phases]

Doh! She's looking into it!

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Great Job on Home! 42 pages, It's like having a time machine.

 

[Hadron]

Yes, having the longer history is a great improvement in usability

Coming back to gold badges, Bg260 is currently mainly offline for reasons explained in his thread in the VIP forum. It would be nice to reinstate his one before he next logs on (Sundays at the mo, if I recall correctly).

Agreed, we didn't hear from him this past Sunday but hopefully that's just a glitch related to his limited access.

The problem is visible in the page counter: when you click "next" once you move on to page 2, but the counter at the bottom still says you are on page 1. So my guess is that your current location in the list isn't updated, and hence whenever you click "next" it thinks you are on page 1 and so loads page 2.

It's the same if you manually select a later page in the history: it loads the page, but the counter still shows you being on page 1, so clicking "next" takes you to page 2 no matter what page you are on.
