Kerry, mine is a new one and the screen was like you posted until I updated the os. (I think that's how you say it).

Yah, the emoticon order changed but I like it being displayed across the bottom though I admit that these old(er) eyes would like them a tad bit bigger.

 

Under the emoties, you'll see something that says "Show All".....click that and a box will pop up showing them in a larger size.

Tried to read through today's posts to see if someone already mentioned this. I'm unable to edit any of my posts. When I click edit, it opens up the box and I can change the post, but when I click on save nothing happens. Cancel, nothing happens.

 

I ran into that with my FIRST post after the update (back on page 3 of this thread, I think). Hit "refresh" and then it all worked as it's supposed to.

It's happened to me every time I've tried, in various threads.

 

Testing now.

 

Okay, nevermind, your solution worked. :P

I do not see the emotis on my iPad. Where is the emoti list hiding?

 

above the reply box when you're replying to a post. Where you see the font options and such, I see a smiley face and when I click on it, it gives me the emoties

Well SOB! Avatars are gone. (well not gone from the server, but not a current option)

 

From tech support:

IPB 3.2 and higher do not allow the use of linked avatars as IPB 3.1.x did. So, if the user in question had a linked avatar, and a profile photo.. Nothing is converted, and the profile photo is used. (We were using 3.1.4 with uploaded not linked files)

Same with the 'avatar gallery'.. That no longer exists, so, if they had one of those, then that would not have been converted. (This is what did us in)

 

I will have to find a way to upload all the images for the member if that is possible.

My avatar was the only copy I had of the photo. :(

They are all still on the server, and most should be by username so I can find them.

The issue is that I am not seeing a way to upload them for a user. Another round with tech support lol

THAT'S the kind of thing it's handy to know ahead of time. *sigh* Shoulda been a big point in the "things we'll tell you before you upgrade" info from them. Did they *have* a "things we'll tell you before you upgrade," or were you supposed to haunt the forums in all that non-existent spare tiime of yours?

I think I just found a way to upload images for users. I'm sure it will take forever since it will be one by one, and you all will need to submit a ticket (not now!!) so we can give it a go.

After dealing with all this, I'm wondering if you want to add this emotie to the list? Smiley-swear.gif J/K :P

Hi, thank you for all your hard work, Jeff!

 

99% of the time when I'm on GT, I'm using my iphone, so thought I would list a couple quirks I've noticed, in case anyone has input. I realize that a) Jeff has said he doesn't have an iPhone so he may not be able to address these; B) he's taking care of way more important things & has already spent a ton of time on the upgrade. If no fixes are forthcoming, I can adapt.

 

Quirk #1: When on my phone, the only reply option is a reply text box at the end of a thread (like the previous fast reply). I don't have access to emoti's, text editing options like font sizes, bolding, etc., or inserting a link. Unless I am blind/stupid, which is entirely possible, uh, probable (see, I couldn't do a strike through & laughy face. How can I communicate w/o emoti's?!!!)

 

Quirk #2: After I post a reply using my phone, the Edit button is not active. So then I decided to just post a second reply; instead of creating a second post, my reply was just added to my first reply (you can see it in the "Apps" thread in "Off Topic". Not a big deal--just wasn't expecting it. Still couldn't edit for typos though.

 

Thanks! Now that that's off my chest, I guess I'll have to go boot up my desktop--I haven't used that thing in weeks!
