What bugs me is when you start a post the cursor immediately goes to the subject instead of the body. It should be a "top-down" roach...the opposite...

Dave

Maybe that's because you need a subject in order to post so it goes there first

just sayin'

LOL Maybe I'm just used to the previous versions.

TBH I'd never even noticed.

Maybe you could change the focus of the cursor. I think that's what it's called.

I wish once you have read or commented on a post, SMF would bring you back to the last post you have read or the very last post within the discussion - instead of going to the opening of it.

That said, I do like how SMF has progressed since I last properly used it.

Click your profile top left >> Look and Layout >> check the box where it says, "Return to topics after posting by default."

And save.

Didn't think of that, thanks! :)

I have a new bug bear [don't take me seriously, it's a very minor thing - SMF is awesome].

When browsing a board, I hate that it tells me who started a post rather than who last posted. I mean, I'm splitting hairs here, but I just feel like I'm missing out on who's discussing what. Rather than who started discussing it.

Bigguy

There should be a place to change that in the admin center....or is that to change to most recent post at top. If it is that might do what you want, not sure.

OK, I just started to make a topic here and immediately started typing just before it actually finished loading. What happened was the title of the topic put the first letter in the title and the rest in the body?!?!?!

Something is making it change from the title to the body when you first start typing...

It put the B in the title and the rest in the body. I should've taken a screenie of it. :P

This might have something to do with it.

One thing that did catch my eye last yesterday while I was editing the sceditor file is the last date in the copyright is 2013??   Seriously???

And SMF still uses this? Also, I just noticed that (at least on this site with the default smileys) if you try to use 3 question marks in a row you'll have problems trying to type something after it cause one of the text for the smileys has always been the same...3 question marks. Try typing a question followed by 3 question marks then type a space then start typing again. LOL

From the default theme's 'jquery.sceditor.default.css:

/*! SCEditor | (C) 2011-2013, Sam Clarke | sceditor.com/license */
I went to the 'sceditor.com/license' site and they have a 2017 version??? That's still a huge security issue!

Neša

The license might not have been updated, they have a 2023 release.

SMF is current & secure.  If you look at the sceditor release history, in fact, you'll see one of the SMF devs collaborates with them regularly.

SMF even helped out with a security issue back in 2021, the 3.0.0 release of the editor.

Ah! That really had me confused. I was seriously hoping it wasn't true.

You might wanna hold off. From what I hear there is a new attachment ui being delivered with the next version of SMF.

It's possible that relates to all the info I gave Shawnb about my experience with the attachments...it also might not ;

I 'was' having a problem updating it but think it was more of a caching issue because after I logged out and came back the next day it was resolved...go figure. lol

LandyVlad

Attachment issues?

How is 2.1.4 progressing in github BTW?

Very nicely really. I'm pretty sure the version number was changed the other day so it won't be long.

It doesn't look like there many changes to the theme...only 2 that I saw. :) Less work for me. LOL

shawnb61

The SMF site is on 2.1.4.

Skhilled

Yes, I think someone mentioned to me that it was on 2.1.4. :)

Skhilled

One thing I've noticed is that if you "Modify" a post and try to edit it it no longer drops down to the cursor but remains were the last post was entered. It used to do it but now makes it less user friendly...
