I'll be pushing an update shortly which may cause some pages to not display properly. If you encounter any issues, please use your browsers preferred cache clearing method to ensure you have the newest file versions. For most browsers it's either shift+reload or control+reload. For phones and tablets, some of them rely on a double reload clicking or holding reload page down for a second. The new files are important to ensure the site looks and acts right.
There are additional changes included, but the largest item addressed was a new layout and fixes for the IM system. Hopefully the new format makes it easier on everyone, regardless of how you surf the website. We will continue to address bug fixes, problems, and performance improvements as often as possible! This thread will replace the older feedback thread, so please post in here and report any bugs, issues, and feedback. UPDATE 2/20 ===================================== - Upgrade to scripts which handle page building. Condensing code and making it more efficient. - NEW IM layout. (Major overhaul to return to a more mail client orientation. Gone are modals and popups.) - IM bug fixes and the addition of a print option for messages. - Moved guides, articles, and related files to the new site directory structure. We will be adding links to them soon! - MODS - added link to b/w tool under the user info drop down. (As requested.) - STAFF - Bug fixes to admin tools for staff. (Reg,B/W,Paging issues,Tools,Searching.) - STAFF - bug fix for banner system. - STAFF - Fix for suspended email accounts tool. (Dont have weak passwords people!) - STAFF - Added username history to user pages for reference. - Gold+ will have access to a user note option. (Create a quick note for any users. Ignored users will have notes available with their ignored posts.) - Gold+ Changed media move icon in profile tool. - Fixed bug with archive search date. - Fixed bug with Archive search paging. - Avatar tool updated to a tabbed mode, to be cleaner. - JRS/ARL fix to editor preview. - JRS/ARL fix to poll voting. - Adjusted ignored post layout on topic page to make all links clickable. - Adjusted ignored posts in threads to include the username and notes for that user. - IM errors will no longer wipe current IM content under any situation. - Error message modals tweaked to be better for mobile platforms. - Removed dead email for contacts@, which now displays accounts@ - Fixed a few misc bugs which were improperly handling errors. - STORE - Fixed a few issues which caused errors. - Added icon for Coast Guard members. - Added icons for upcoming Instagram photo sharing rewards! (more on this soon!) - CREATED FORUM for wine and spirits. - Fixed a bug with topic page not loading emotes correctly. A few other misc things here and there. I also will be added groups needed for items above. |

I hate to get the party going but I can't quote now using my phone. Single or multi.

When I hit quote or quote all it takes me back to the main GD page.
I've hit refresh a few times. |

I tested out the new IM system functionality, and I like it. I did notice that the Cancel button didn't seem to do anything when I clicked it, though.

Still can't embedd YouTube videos from iPhone 6. Also can't quote shit. Don't really feel like clearing my cache and losing all passwords and shit just because of one site that can't get it right. A site I pay for none the less

Minor issue when taking a group action against messages. When you select the group action check box when there are 10 messages on the page, it only takes action on the top 9 messages. The 10th message isn't marked with a check.

I copy the link from YouTube. Click on the YouTube icon in the post editor. Paste the link into the address bar. Then hit "save". It doesn't populate ANY text in the post editor.

View Quote Can you share a sample link here? I can look at it and see if there's something off with the link itself or our parser. I do the same thing and have no problem. I use the youtube app, versus the web page, but it should work the same. The only way it would act this way, that I know of, is if an invalid link (or one it does not know how to handle), is pasted into the box. I'm looking at the quote button issue. For now double tap the quote text on the bar and you'll be stuck with quote single, but it will work. I'm not sure why the phone is ignoring the links, since nothing really changed with them. Either way, no reason to dump cache or anything for this. I'll figure it out. |

Yeah the first click on the quote button does jack and shit. Click on it again and it pops up the "quote single, or quote all" or whatever it says. 90% of the time it takes me to the post editor but doesn't populate any text again. The other 10% it just reloads the page

I can't view the site from my iPhone 5 anymore. Member login/menu stays on top of screen and will not close when the X is tapped. Covers 7/8th of the screen in mobile and the left 30+% if I switch to full, which still covers the thread title and sub categories. Worked fine last night. Works great on laptop though.
ETA: see post above |

The menu issue for IOS should be fixed now. It may take a page refresh to ensure u have the new fix. Quote buttons, etc all working for me on my phone.

Maybe or maybe not relevant to the new site...
Why does the search function not accept two character terms? With the mind numbing number of acronyms and alpha numeric gun names used here it's strange that you can't search any term of two characters or less. |

When I pull up a thread, "Code Monkey" isn't on the screen and it makes for a better viewing experience to me. The gray box alignment I'm referring to looks great on my phone, but here it's what I'd call incongruent.... Attached File Attached File The 2nd photo is already addressed above here, but it makes arfcom feel like strobe lights. I'd still like to cast a vote to have an option for avatar shut-off. When I'm scrolling through a thread and my wife is sitting next to me, seeing a scantily clad female as an avatar isn't what I'd call ideal. So, please consider that not everyone wants to view what some people want us to see. I wish I knew how to screen shot on my phone so I could give you a good description of how it looks, but if you can implement what I highlighted in red, it would be greatly appreciated.

Member panel stuck open on my Samsung tablet as well, while using the Samsung Internet app.
Changing pages, closing all ARf tabs and starting a new one, logging out, logging in, etc, does not remove/close the panel. I never clicked to open it. Did you ever go to those mobile test houses like were suggested back in the original feedback thread? They can test for this kind of thing before you publish to live, across a whole spectrum of devices you don't own. Attached File ARf/Mobile also still broken. Kharn |

Can the three bar menu thingy have a bit of a delay on it? It instantly flashes open then closes when I move the mouse to a different tab (tabs on left, so mouse rolls over top left of ARFCOM window to get to tab bar).
