Not sure if it’s been mentioned but when you click on ‘react’ to see who’s reacted to the post it only shows you who has agreed. You can’t see who has disagreed etc (when you click on the number next to disagree it just comes up with the ‘agree’ people).

On iPhone in case that matters!

Interesting ... and when I read that and then the start of the article below, I was thinking ... "oh god, why have I just put myself through all that pain?"

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/coronavirus-farming-jobs-search-record-feed-nation-campaign-a9458436.html

Then I got to the end where I see they actually need 80,000 pickers, so still some way short.

I dug out a new flowerbed last week on my days off. Definitely more work than I initially thought, and definitely wish I had a tiller after having to use a pick shovel to break up the clay soil, and finding all bits of rubble from the builders (new build house, cut out the turf). Even found a fork!

Arlo Guthrie Ah thank you, putting editor in works. I’ll go and see if I can unsubscribe. The last read on the threads I’m emailed takes me to the last page but that may be a page ahead of where I need to be.

Hope you are all staying well in your family Arlo.

[quote userid="7269" url="~/001/nonclinical/f/site-support-discussions/28833/site-update-24th-jan-2020/220462"]I’m adding on here as I think I’ve worked out why the blue line of last read is in the wrong place, too far down the messages. For me now it seems to be on the corona virus thread, and for that one each new message is being sent by email. [/quote]

I was discussing last unread thread with the devs (developers) last week, before the coronavirus really hit the fan, so to speak, and I got diverted!

I need to double check, but they tell me that the reason the last unread thread appears to be further ahead than you actually are is that it only ever took you to the last unread page. And now it scrolls to the bottom of the page and puts a blue marker on the last post on the page, which is sort of misleading.

I thought I remembered the system used to take you to the actual post on the page which you last read, and I need to test this on vetnurse (still on the old system).

Either way, if devs are right (and they usually are), then best thing is probably for me to remove the blue stripe and make the continue reading start at the top of the page you were last on.

[quote userid="7269" url="~/001/nonclinical/f/site-support-discussions/28833/site-update-24th-jan-2020/220462"]My question now to Arlo is, how do I unsubscribe to the emails for that thread? [/quote]

I am looking at adding an unsubscribe link to the reply text box at the point of posting, but after posting, you can 'turn reply notifications off' at the top of theright hand margin (on desktop or tablet).

[quote userid="7269" url="~/001/nonclinical/f/site-support-discussions/28833/site-update-24th-jan-2020/220462"](I also can’t seem to tag you Arlo even with the @ first, comes up with a list but not your name...) [/quote]

Strange, when I type the symbol followed by my name, it shows. Another trick is to go to the member's profile page, look at the web address, and you'll see their username. Sometimes that works better (it's unique). If it doesn't display, that probably means they have disabled tagging. But in my case, it is editor (after the @ symbol).

For me now it seems to be on the corona virus thread, and for that one each new message is being sent by email. So it seems I’m accidentally subscribed. I don’t read on the email, I read on the forum hence the issue. My question now to Arlo is, how do I unsubscribe to the emails for that thread?

Sorry, messages are being fixed right now, for deployment on next round.

Kate Richardson — Tue, 10 Mar 2020 13:54:06 GMT

And when I went to send a new message (to you) a box comes up saying type recipient,so I typed arlo and it came up with nothing. Tried @arlo and also did nothing

Initially on laptop, then tried iphone, both same story

RE: SITE UPDATE 24th Jan 2020

Kate Richardson — Tue, 10 Mar 2020 13:51:54 GMT

Another problem- sorry. Messages. I received a message yesterday and went to reply, but the reply box was nowhere to be seen, eventually I found it, after having to scroll down the page through zillions of nothingness to find it at the bottom. Similar when I tried to create a new message to let you know about it Arlo Guthrie

Bob Russell the save button normally does not work if your details are not complete, I'll take a look for you.

I am also looking at ways to reduce notifications. Potentially aggregate.

.... just checked and your details were fine, so that is odd. And I unticked email notifications for 'reactions' for you, and that saved fine.

RE: SITE UPDATE 24th Jan 2020

Bob Russell — Tue, 10 Mar 2020 11:29:53 GMT

My email box is filling up with notifications. Tried to switch them off but the save button does not work!

RE: SITE UPDATE 24th Jan 2020

Arlo Guthrie — Wed, 04 Mar 2020 20:16:15 GMT

Just deployed the latest round of fixes, which should mean we have reactions working again in safari, and the choices under the 'more' link should work on safari too. We've also fixed the page links at the foot of each page of forum posts, so now if you click them, they take you to the top of the next page, not the bottom.

Also got our expert leaderboards looking nice. See: https://www.vetsurgeon.org/001/veterinary-clinical/exotics/, on the left hand side where it shows our most active expert contributors to the Exotics Group, Mark Rowland and Marie Kubiak. Each time referral practitioners / experts contribute to discussions or the expert help forums, they get points. The leaderboard then displays them on the front page of the group.

There are various other fixes, but I can't remember what they are!

Sorry, yes the blue line is at the end of the thread, whereas there may be 3 or 4 messages above that that I haven’t read.

RE: SITE UPDATE 24th Jan 2020

Arlo Guthrie — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 19:45:16 GMT

Joyce Whiteheadfor clarity, you’re saying it does take you to the post with the blue line, but the one with the blue line is not your latest post????

RE: SITE UPDATE 24th Jan 2020

Joyce Whitehead — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 19:39:06 GMT

Hi Arlo, the blue line is where the thread takes me, not to my last message read. Of course it now hasn’t done it today. Although as others have mentioned I am also getting some marked as read when I haven’t read them. Today it was the chemotherapy thread. And I’m only logged on on my iPad which no one else uses.

Thanks for investigating.

That's plausible (other colleagues reading posts). Only way to check is to log out religiously and see whether you still have the same problem. Which is a pain!

I am getting the same problem since the upgrade, and I do always log off after I have been on vetsurgeon.

Joyce Whitehead Could you check something for me next time. When you click 'continue reading' on a thread where you know you have a few posts to catch up on, and it takes you through to the page, is it taking you to a post marked with a blue stripe on the left hand side (the last post indicator), or is it taking you to somewhere you have to scroll up to get to the thread with the blue marker?
