New AFF Website

[Cynicor]

Yes and it works on my iPad but not iPhone

Thanks

Are you certain you aren't in private mode? (If you don't know what i mean, open safari, click the bottom right 'tabs' button, then see if the 'private' button has a white border.

You may know already, but to go to the last post, you click on the time stamp beneath the name of the last poster, on the right.

Thanks I actually had no idea that was clickable -- it's the same font and grey colour as all other non - clickable text. I like it more though when pages are visible -- you can easily see which threads are older or have more "hot" discussion by comparing date to the page count. I attached an example screen shot of how it would look like.

When in private mode, the browser window generally appears darker too.

On the old website I used to see references under the user details as to whether the member had a blog on AFF or not and the number of entries. I very rarely went into the blog entries but when I did, I found them very interesting. Do the blogs still exist on the new website? I can't find references to them on the user IDs on each post or in the profile information.

Blogs did not make the switch. They were infrequently used as it was, I recall creating an entry that remained the only recent entry for over 6 months

They also confused a few members, who would blog a post with a reply instead of quoting it.

Is it possible to retrieve some of the older content? cove's was pretty enjoyable.

Best to bring this up on Thursday, though not easily in any case as the vBulletin directory is no longer accessible from the web.

Serfty you are just too kind about my blog. I am just glad that you enjoyed Frequent Flyer Fiend And The Game.
I tried to keep it accurate so I reported wins and failures. I can be pretty good at failures and my IT abilities are very modest. One finger typing on on IPad still works great for me.

Oh how embarrassing - looks like I was in private mode - must have clicked on the wrong thing at some stage Thanks guys

Don’t know if it’s been reported or not but I just saw a new post in a 6 year old thread. Last post there was Dec 2011.
IIRC threads used to auto close ?

Like a broken record why is the banner so dull?

If it were dark blue the image and text would stand out a lot more...

This was an add-on that probably didn't make the switch, or hasn't been re-enabled correctly. If you see posts like this, please feel free to report them. Hopefully we can stop this from happening in the future

admin and the mods have looked at the suggestions and decided that the current scheme is the way AFF will remain at the moment.

Thanks for you input which has been noted.

Let's move back to what we do best which is beating the airlines and banks at their game.

In my profile I'm being told there's an invitation and to click here for the link, but when I click on it, it says I don't have permission for this action

As a former web site builder and desktop publisher (25 years) and the wife a graphic designer (35 years) we disagree its so bland and needs a colour lift, so time to opt out of the suggestion as no one is listening.

I'd agree we get back to beating both, I love nothing more than a excellent airline deal and love having a lend of the banks CC money for up to 55 days for free.

This is a feature that lets you invite newcomers to the Australian Frequent Flyer, similar to a referral, but it is not operational. We'll look into disabling it completely if we are not going to enable it completely

We are all listening. The moderation/admin team have discussed the suggestions at length. Some have been acted on, and some not.

I do hope its changed then.

One thing I keep doing in error is reply from the last thread and therefore quoting it but can't seem to work out how to cancel that and then just post normal reply - any suggestions?

Oh and even when I close the browser window and open it again the quote is still there waiting for me

Just click in the "Write your reply..." at the bottom of the page and go for it.

... or click "more Options..." at the bottom right for the full text/entry edit experience ...

The new software keeps 'drafts' pretty efficiently. To 'cancel' a post without posting it, backtrack and erase everything written. Then go to the tool bar , about the third from the right, a black portrait page with clipped corner and an 'undo' circle. Select that, and 'delete draft'.
