@AndyS All sub-pages of https://forum.qt.io/users miss the <previous>/<next> links to scroll through the lists. I don't know since when this is missing, but is was working, I swear :)

It shows up for me in the Banned and Most Flagged lists at least, and it seems NodeBB.org's own forum has it up for all the pages. I'll add this to the list.

After the last update I'm missing the favicon in chrome and firefox on Windows. Nuking cache, favicon database and using private mode does not help (it did reset favicon for all other sites). Curiously enough green Qt logo does show up in Edge (although doesn't seem to display the little red counter).

@Chris-Kawa I notice the problem now too, I think the icon moved or something because uploaded files was something that got optimized in an update and thats where it is looking for it. I am working on figuring out how to get that back.

I uploaded the icon now so it is where it is expected to be, so hopefully it will show up again once it gets a forced refresh. Thanks for pointing it out @Chris-Kawa!

Due to the nature of how this forum seems to be setup, it managed to not have the icon anymore, so I will need to do this in a different way. So it will not show up for a bi until I find a solution

On my mobile, I can't hide the keyboard anymore when going into a chat.

So 3/4 of the screen is used for title bars and keyboard, and only the middle is the actual chat.

In former versions, I could click on a non text-input field and the keyboard was hidden. Is anyone else experiencing this?

@aha_1980 Looks fine to me on my Android phone at least.

Ok, I think this is fixed now. I have to wait until tomorrow to know for sure, but I am certain I got it right this time :)

It seems that the "latest answer to a post" in the "unread" section is still wrong.

AndyS · wrote on 24 Sept 2019, 20:49

Yeah that I am aware is the case, I am planning to schedule time this week to look at it. I need to understand the code to see why it might be wrong and see if its the server or something else tripping it.

The icon was back for me for few hours but now it's gone again?

Another thing - I know this was reported already but it started to happen to me too now so I though I'd mention it - the upvote counter does not show correct number for some posts. It's ok for others:

This might be a cache issue. I've found that refreshing (or closing + reopening) the page can fix the counter.

For the record (Chrome): I'm no-favicon, and still with incorrect counters, despite any refreshes/re-opens, just as per the last few weeks. But not unappreciative of @AndyS efforts :)

AndyS · 3 Oct 2019, 09:51

Ok, the fav-icon I can understand why it goes away, the problem is due to how our server works so the change I made doesn't get saved, therefore I need to do it a different way to make it stick. I'll try and sort that out today, though I am not sure why it stopped working initially because it has nothing to do with the upgrades.

The number of posts in a thread are not always correct in the overview.

Quite often I am opening a thread showing only 1 post, but it may have already 1 or more answers. Sometimes those answers were a couple of hours old. However, it is not an update issue, because typically I am loading the list of unread threads each time.

When opening it showed

and 2 responses

koahnig · wrote on 25 Sept 2019, 18:38

This one just showed up after I had cleared list

However, it is 8 hours old. When opening it had already a response which just added by SGaist

I have another kinda following the same theme - the number by the notifications bell icon does not go away but there's no new notifications inside. I thought maybe they are just not highlighted like they used to so I clicked through all of them one by one but the number stays. Curiously when opened in another browser the number is cleared, so I think it's some sort of yet another caching issue.

All those problems seem weirdly similar. Like something gets cached that shouldn't or something doesn't when it should. Maybe there's one root cause?

Chris Kawa · wrote on 25 Sept 2019, 19:03

Also I just noticed that clicking on these notifications moves me to a random post way above the one actually mentioned in the notification. For example clicking on the first notification in the picture above should bring me to https://forum.qt.io/topic/106297/known-issues-with-qt-forum/35 (I think), but it actually goes to https://forum.qt.io/topic/106297/known-issues-with-qt-forum/22, which makes no sense since it's before my own post and there's more than 6 people below it so I'm not sure what it actually counts.

AndyS · wrote on 25 Sept 2019, 20:09

I do believe all the problems are related to one cause but the problem is I haven't been able to figure out what that cause is yet. They do have similarities and I think it is more to how our server is than NodeBB itself, but I need to understand how NodeBB is doing it to figure out what might be wrong. It might be a DB problem too, but its hard to say when I can only really reproduce it on the main server and I don't want to tinker about that for obvious reasons :)

I would bet this isn't upgrade related, because I've experienced it pre-upgrade. Rather rarely but it has happened. Clicking "Mark all read" removes the red indicator (obviously), but I have never been able to trigger it intentionally nor do I have any clue why it happens.
