I had the same issue with the last update. Clear your browser cache and it should start working again.

Yep it always boils down to one of two things...sometimes both..👀

Cache or Cash

Are you serious? Almost all I use is my PC. Try the suggestion above.

 

I know IPS 4.3 changed the way one mouses over and quotes just a highlighted section, and there was a topic over there about it. But I haven't had any problems at all on either Edge or Chrome, for either PC or Android.

 

[Qapla]

I have not cleared my cache or done anything different than what I usually do. I have had no problem with the "full quote" using the "quote button" nor the "partial quote" by highlighting and hitting the "Quote selection" bubble that pops up.

 

Works just like it used to - only thing that changes is the bubble looks a little different.

• Tested the Pages app by creating a Donation page

All right!!! Now it's party time!!!  Is this available yet? I'm looking for it but I don't see it yet. I'm going to owe you a few million for all the good use I've got out of the site. Thank you.

It's actually been right under everyone's noses for about a week and a half. Dig deeper 😉

Bob, you are dismal. I was looking under my nose, and all I saw was a mouth. I just couldn't find it! Until...

Thank you, John. That helped out a lot. So I wonder how long that's been there until I found out I was looking under the wrong nose?

 

(Okay, where's that "few million" I promised to donate?)

Good job. Thanks

Good job Bob, we are glad we hired you. Too bad your year-end performance evaluation wasn't good for you to get a year end bonus. Maybe next year...

JWTalk 19.3.9

 

(Tons of changes, but I am only listing the ones that the community or staff may have an interest in. Some items are links that take you to a full article describing the new feature.)

 

Major New Features / Enhancements

• Post Before Registering
• Animated GIFs
• AdminCP Notification Center
• New Email Features:
  • Email Statistics
  • Email Advertisements
  • Unfollow Without Logging In
• Performance Improvements:
  • Added Lazy Loading for images, which will speed up page rendering.
  • Improved default profile photos to use inline SVGs rather than generated images, which will speed up page rendering.
  • Optimized images to reduce file size for faster page rendering.

Core

• Added setting to display user group formatting in more areas (see 6 New Micro Features).
• Added less intrusive browser notification prompt in Notifications menu (see 6 New Micro Features).
• Added ability to show sidebar blocks to only certain types of devices (see 6 New Micro Features).
• Added ability for club owners to reorder the navigation tabs (see 6 New Micro Features).
• Added ability for announcements to be linked to an URL or be a title only (see 6 New Micro Features), improved consistency in how announcements are shown in different areas.
• Added a new Icons & Logos section in the AdminCP which allows providing logos for use when sharing links from the community, adding the community as a home screen app on a mobile device (along with additional settings for a PWA manifest to control certain aspects the community’s behaviour when used in this way), and in Safari’s favourites menus and pinned tabs on macOS.
• Added a new UI for attachments, showing a box with some information about the file, rather than a plain line (see Turbo charging loading speeds).

Removed Features

• Removed EmojiOne-style emojis due to licensing issues.
• Removed Gravatar support due to privacy concerns and performance issues.
• Removed password hashes when downloading a member list from the AdminCP. This is for security, to reduce the ease of obtaining sensitive data if the AdminCP is ever compromised.
• Removed the name of the content (e.g. topic) from the “Next Unread” link which could consume significant server resources on large communities.

Minor changes

• Added tag suggestions from previously used tags as you type.
• Added ability for users to re-crop their profile photos.
• Added a new user notification to be notified when their content is embedded in other content.
• Added a small message when editing notification settings to clarify that changing the default method for following content will not affect content you are already following.
• Improved UI of the message which tells a user if their post will need to be approved by a moderator, and added the message in some areas it was missing from.

Fixed pasted Rich Text to look better in Dark Mode
