Support Team Shaun_E Posted July 23, 2015 Support Team Share Posted July 23, 2015 As requested, here is a list of currently identified issues. It's not exhaustive but I've tried to capture most of the main bugs and requests for additional functionality. Please don't use this thread to discuss issues but if I have missed something then post here with a link to the original thread.Website issues log_v1.4.xlsxA status of "Open" means there is no work being undertaken at this point. This may be due to other priorities, timing or cost. If it is decided that no further action is to be taken, the status will be "Closed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted July 24, 2015 Area Representative Share Posted July 24, 2015 Please could NPD furnish an explanation of why, if I type Management team into the search engine,the top three results are: motorsport team, British team and team-mate?This is just being very simplistic because I know I could that I could type "Management Team" but I may be searching for key words which are not in association. It illustrates that the search apparently seaches a Boolean OR not a Boolean AND command. So adding detail to your seach enquiry gives you more irrelevant results not more specific ones, I have found this on previous occasions but just gave up. Working in a substantially different manner to that most successful of search engines, Google. It takes a brave company to diverge from known methodology; if successful it is brilliant.Did I mean Management test? - no I didn't, why does the script imagine my typing would be that poor - m and t are separated by a large area of keyboard, it has different meaning and is not a spelling mistake.http://www.stephenhubbard.biz/MiscPix/Picture1.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjmmarsh Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 GJT you are correct - the search defaults to OR. If you type:Management AND Teamit will return posts that contain both words in the post (in any order and not necessarily consecutive words). If you want a defined term, just include it in quotes.

Roadsport06 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Simples! - Yes. But the opposite to the main search engines we are used to so a pain to remember that. When just using the search infrequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted July 26, 2015 Area Representative Share Posted July 26, 2015 As Roadsport: AND has logical force as well the force of other search facilities. OR: please could NPD or the individual responsible please explain the rationale behind this decision? Issue: Did we ever receive an explanation of why the last five posts of page 1 appear at the top of page 2? I am sorry if I missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian B Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Well I added a few from previous bugs lists that don't seem to have been addressed, and was hoping the table would work so it was open to all to see, however, no.21 should be "Resize tables to fit forum width"!

Ian B Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Ref. no. 7: "No longer an issue - location is truncated" "Closed".Sorry, but it is still an issue on a PC running Win7 and Chome as screen shot below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted July 28, 2015 Author Support Team Share Posted July 28, 2015 Ian - I don't know what settings you have applied but I have checked this in Win7/Chrome along with many other browser/OS combinations and it is not a problem. Unless someone else can replicate the issue it will have to remain closed - we can't fix an issue that can't be replicated and affects only one person.The unable to edit post bug is also resolved - it wasn't a bug at all merely a setting issue. Some people previously had Full HTML posting rights which were subsequently removed and hence they could not edit previous posts that were created with Full HTML. As posted on the bugs forum, I will fix any post found to be in that state.Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Shaun, no idea what settings are different on my PC but I haven't changed anything knowingly from standard.However as I use the PC, or an Android hanset, and neither are being very user friendly I guess I'll just post less The table formatting would be helpful to resolve though, so at least we can see progress on items (thought a thumbs up on it own might be more appropriate there but . . . ).

Ian B Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 21 - Resize tables to fit forum width.22 - "Add to bookmarks" only appears on first page of a multi-page thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 No mention of the Members' Only forum on your list Ian, although it is on the master list which is linked to in the first post. Also no mention of a single button to mark all forums as read in any list. Might it be useful for the master list to be dated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 The single button to mark all forums as read, which has been on the wish list since October 2014, and which I highlighted again 5 weeks ago (above) has yet to appear on the Issues Log.There's not really much point in contributing to this thread if no one reads it, is there?

Support Team Shaun_E Posted November 23, 2015 Author Support Team Share Posted November 23, 2015 I've had a look at this.1) Some events do not have and address entered2) Some have entered a "City" that does not exist (Stratford City for example - should be London) and this causes an issue with the GMap API. Also using "nr City" doesn't work3) GMap seems to have become more sensitive to the city field not matching the postcode or it just doesn't like a number of the towns entered.I have asked NDP if we can pass only the postcode (where it exists) to the API to avoid this problem - this would solve 2) and 3) above I think.

Ian B Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 It must be something that they have done recently as before almost all the Area Meetings showed up (just the one or two that you were aware of that were missing), and now only a handful appear.Same with the events, so I guess it's related to a recent update they have performed.
