Quirky 6 Report post Posted December 12, 2016 Has there been any recent changes to the forum? It seems I cannot post replies any more, unless I fake the browser's user agent string to pretend it's Firefox. Never had this issue with the Emsisoft forum before. User agent sniffing, is really a bad practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeremyNicoll 45 Report post Posted December 13, 2016 Yes, the forum software changed last Friday. I had to redefine my profile picture! Since then I've reported a problem [*] with the emails that are sent out (if you turn that option on) when a thread you're interested in is updated. These email no longer contain the text that someone added to a discussion so for every one of them you have to go back to the forum to find out what was added. On the example I received on Friday, the links to the changed text did not work. * - reported in a thread about something else because there seemed to be no obvious place to discuss this. See: The problem in the links sent out in (I now realise) the plain text portion of these emails is that they look like: https://support.emsisoft.com/topic/25756-anti-theft-sms-control-issue/?do=findComment&comment=164241 and the embedded "&" is wrong. It should be written as %26 I think. The link in the HTML version of the email does work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quirky 6 Report post Posted December 13, 2016 Forum also seems a bit slower/more sluggish now but that could be just my impression. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I wouldn't trust automated tests more than user experience It could well be the user agent sniffing that causes further unnecessary problems, instead of detecting browser features properly.

stapp 121 Report post Posted December 14, 2016 SeaMonkey browser seems slower to open forum posts etc since the forum change. Just a couple of seconds... but it's there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pilis 3 Report post Posted December 16, 2016 Can you please allow us to change this option? Download Image I'm suddenly getting tons of mails about threads I have followed. On all these threads I have explicitly chosen not to get mails but only notifications in the forum. But with the forum-update this changed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pilis 3 Report post Posted December 16, 2016 I know it does not fit the topic of this thread but let's just shamelessly convert this to the "new forum-update" feedback thread. Is there an option anywhere to change the date-format? I really don't like the MM/DD/YY format. DD/MM/YY would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quirky 6 Report post Posted November 29, 2017 One issue left: since the forum still uses browser user-agent sniffing, it fails with Pale Moon. There's an old issue with some websites: when they see the word 'Goanna' they believe they are dealing with a 'Goa' mobile device instead of a desktop browser and fail in various ways. In this forum, post replies cannot be added so it becomes unusable. The forum works fine when using these user-agent strings for example:Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:52.9) Gecko/20100101 PaleMoon/27.6.2 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:52.9) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.9 PaleMoon/27.6.2 The forum does not work properly with any of these native Pale Moon strings: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:3.4) Goanna/20171124 PaleMoon/27.6.2 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:3.4) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/20171124 PaleMoon/27.6.2 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:52.9) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/3.4 Firefox/52.9 PaleMoon/27.6.2 It'd be nice if you could forward this to the forum software guys, so that we won't have to use such overrides. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
