Update 3.3.4

Post by hoobilly »

Since the update I’m finding very small problems and wondering what to do to fix

1. Not getting notifications on replies to posts or comments
2. Not getting notifications on PM’s
3. YouTube link not showing direct video

And also would love to know how to add a feature where the last comment you read to be your starting point in a post that you e previously looked at.

This doesn't make sense.
Posts are called via viewtopic.php and the top and bottom post will differ with post sortorder. Also a page is viewed, containing various posts and the software cannot in any way figure out what you looked at/read or not.

As to 1. and 2. probably a permission setting : use the permission mask on your username to see whether there's a group or user setting which blocks that permissions

As to 3. youtube links don't open in view/preview mode by themselvess: you'll need to use an or BBcode for that.

I have the YouTube link that you click on when the YouTube link is highlighted. Here’s the full link
https://youtu.be/11cyWOXg3rA

What I’m supposed to be able to do is highlight this section 11cyWOXg3rA and click the YouTube tab and it should pop up.

On the last post question, I am on other forums and some have multiple pages of comments and if I read through page 3 and I go back and it’s not 5 pages of comments I click on the post and it takes me directly to the last comment that I previously had read.

That is what the icon on the left-side of the topic does.

For youtube:
you'll need to use an or BBcode for that.
Or a extension https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... ediaembed/

Yeah, :oops: apparently forgot to type the word "extension".
see Advanced BBCode Box
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

You don’t need BBCodes for YouTube with mediaembed, you post the link and forget it. A plus is it’s an official extension so is supported by the team.
