sharpness Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Since the updates I keep getting the bar with the quote button on the right hand end appearing part way up the post in different places, sometimes across the posters avatar, sometimes a bit further down across the posters details. It appears to be quite random, is it just me, something I have done? or something I have missed? a lot of the technical stuff goes right over my head.

mross Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Do you get some text, even one letter, highlighted at the same time? It sounds as though you are accidentally click-and-dragging the mouse/cursor across some text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan de Enfield Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) I get it as well. For example (on your last post Mr Oss) there is a 'greyed out' bar all the way across the screen, about 1/2" deep that is covering the bottom part of your avatar and a couple of lines' of text (ie the number of greenies you have and your 'members' category) Edited March 14, 2017 by Alan de Enfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mross Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) AdE, what device are you using? I get that if I put the mouse/cursor over someone's avatar. Edited March 14, 2017 by mross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laptop - Windows 8:1 On your last post, he "quote line" covers from the 'members' line down to the 'location' line and all the way across the 'page' It appears o be a 'floating fault' moving up and down the screen. After all of the problems I had trying to set up the 'new' system I had given up asking questions, but as it was raised by the OP I thought I'd let him know he is 'not alone'. Edit to add : If I hover (no clicking, just hovering) over an avatar it opens up a new window with all of the persons details.

mross Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) It might be worth trying a different browser. Firefox is good with 'older' operating systems. Or, at least, be sure your browser is fully up-to-date. Edited March 14, 2017 by mross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mross Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Ok, I understand now, just a single, horizontal, grey bar, with 'quote' at the far right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHutch Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hi, is their any chance you can get a screenshot of this? Either using the snipping tool or printscreen/alt+printscreen and pasting into paint. I will get Rich to look into what the cause might be, but it also might be as mross says, that the simplest solution is just to use an alternative browser or the 'legacy' theme.

mross Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Might be useful to advise which browser and its version. (Normally 'help'..................'about') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpness Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Alan has explained it far better than I did & it sounds as though his is doing exactly the same as mine. Using windows 10 on my laptop. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mross Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I can reproduce this bug on my laptop with Win10 and IE11. IPSFocus ought to sort this out as, I believe, CWDF is paying for this 'skin'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mross Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Seems OK on IE11 when using the 'legacy' theme. Chrome browser is also OK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty69 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) It happens on my laptop too, running Lubuntu.OK using the Legacy theme. Edited March 14, 2017 by rusty69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly it only shows if you are logged in, which is why it wont have shown when I tested it previously. Opera and Chome are both fine. As you say, we are paying for a 3rd party produced skin from IPSFocus who I understand are reputable in the field, so I will raise it with then and we will take it from there!

Daniel Just another 'new thing'. I seem to have suddenly developed a 'narrow black bar' across the screen that says "New Content Begins Here" Its not a problem, but I have not noticed it previously - does everyone have it ?
