Chat seems broken (still)
toggledbitsT

@DesT I think I mentioned this some time ago, but Chat in this software seems broken. I normally use Brave browser, but it's same for Chrome. Haven't tried others.

Someone is trying to contact me via chat. I can see that here:

4a8a5332-2f25-476b-a9c9-decffb6a9c01-image.png

When I click on that message, or any message in this list, the header and navigation left/right of the side go away, and I get a page that looks like this:

f69b117b-8ac9-446b-8487-6d586b24ea29-image.png

It has no messages in it, not even the message that I can see the preview for in the previous image. Nothing I do from here seems to bring up any conversations. The user who messaged me isn't listed on the left. And if I click on any of the messages in the list on the left, nothing major happens: the tab title changes and the message in the left list I click on is highlighted gray, but no conversation is displayed and the middle of page stays blank except for the input area, it doesn't even display the full text of the message I clicked on. Since there's no navigation on the page, the only way I can leave this page is to use the back button or re-enter the URL in the location bar to start over.

Maybe I'm committing some kind of ID 10T error, but it's not obvious to me what it is. Just seems... not working.

Connect small (torch-sized) light bulb to smart home network
H

Hi
I am trying to connect a vintage radio to my home smart network, replacing the old parts with a smart speaker. I have a small light bulb inside the radio hooked up to a 6v battery that I also want to connect to the home network. Is it possible to get a smart device that I can use as a switch for this light bulb circuit? if not, I would be grateful for any ideas on how to connect a small (torch-sized - it needs to slot into a 10mm hole) light bulb to the home network.
many thanks

Was wondering if we can attach files in a PM to another member, would be very useful if we are attaching files with some sensitive password info or whatever

Site Bug?
toggledbitsT

While doing pretty much anything on the site, if you accidentally hover over a username in the "Who's Online" or "Board Statistics" areas, you get a pop-up with some information about that user.

The problem is that this pop-up pops up over whatever content you are reading, including possibly the post editing tool, covers a good part of it, right in the middle, and has no obvious way to close it. There is no close box on the panel, and it does not pop down/away when you mouse-leave it. It just stays there. You can even refresh the page and they come back. The only way I have found to get rid of them is to move away from the current page to another (e.g. using the "Account Info" link in the pop-up's hamburger menu). Transitioning between top-menu items (Categories, Unread, Tags, etc.) does not remove it/them.

It would be nice if these had a close box, or better yet, just popped away when the cursor leaves their boundaries. If that's a bridge too far, then no pop-up at all, just let me click if I want detail for that user.

Getting logged off all the tine
akbooerA

Is it, once again, just me, or is anyone else getting regularly logged off the site?

Over the last few days, every time I return to the site on my iPad, I have to log in again. This is new behaviour. I also access from a desktop iMac, and that seems perfectly
OK.

New notification flag, but nothing there
akbooerA

Is it just me (again) or do others get this? The little red bell appears on the notifications icon, but when I look, there are no unread ones there.

I can clear it with “clear all notifications” but it seems to happen again a few days later...

I thought it might be a good idea to link to this forum from Openluup and/or Altui running on Openluup, VeraBridge, ZwayBridge.

Wow, OK. I seem to have dark mode. I know I'm old fashioned but I can't stand it. Apart from in a terminal window 🙂

Any way we can change it back?

      @Elcid I changed it! This orange box should be only visible in non-mobile as you are missing another one.
      Both of them are not "only on non-mobile"

              I don't really ever get to the first post of the thread but I either get to the first unread or it appears, to the middle of the thread it seems and it is not very consistent. It is indeed a bit weird.

                This one took me right to the first thread. Middle of the thread happens quite a lot as well....

                  @CatmanV2
                  The mission statement one i clicked and when i returned it had gone. I could not do the same with darkmode. @DesT removed the other from mobile view, which i appreciate. They are still at bottom of desck top view , but not as annoying there.

                  @rafale77 , yes it tends to be the middle of the thread or possible the position the 2nd to last time i viewed the thread. It is annoying and will be hell with threads in there 100's.

                        All the "sidebar" widget, 2x orange box + forum stats are hidden on mobile to keep the essential.

                          Officially, you can't! But I think the "dark mode" I can remove it, it's there to help people with the new theme and the new night mode...

                            The first unread, I need to double check, as I think it's working fine but I need to understand "HOW" it's working!

                              The first unread works sometimes... like the others are reporting, it often also takes me to the middle of the thread, very rarely to the top. Not sure what is going on with it.

                                I think that, the "first unread", is related to a "timeout" on how long you are reading. I would need to ask more detail about that to the "nodeBB" team!
