Members dboomer Posted November 19, 2014 Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 Is it just me? Working from an iPad I cannot get any spacing between paragraphs. And on an iPad or on my Mac, if I try to insert a sentence between sentences I've already typed I get about 10 characters and then it jumps out of the line and goes somewhere else.

To see if paragraph breaks work for me. Otherwise, so far, editing seems normal for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dbMontana Posted November 19, 2014 Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 Obviously my three paragraphs as entered were wrapped into one by the forum software. Editing does seem ok otherwise but I did get a couple of temporary cursor jumps out of the editing box when I hit "return" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members monthlymixcd Posted November 19, 2014 Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 I've had the jumping to the end of the last paragraph issues on Win7 64-bit using Chrome and on Android usig Dolphin browser for some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted November 19, 2014 Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 I've reported this repeatedly for months now to no avail. Can't space between paragraphs on either my iPad2 or iPhone. Both the iPhone 4 and 6. And with the various iOSs that have been in use during that time.I was told that others weren't having this problem, but obviously many of us are. What you CAN do is enter HTML code for paragraph and break. I enter and between paragraphs and it works.On the improvement side of things, I wasn't able to quote on iPad or iPhone but that started working properly a few weeks ago. But still can't edit my own posts.Seriously, this is really basic stuff that any forum that wants to be usable needs to be able to do. And it's been MONTHS now.

Members agedhorse Posted November 19, 2014 Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 I've had the jumping to the end of the last paragraph issues on Win7 64-bit using Chrome and on Android usig Dolphin browser for some time now. Me too using IE and Chrome. Work around is to hit return to start new paragraph and then you can edit everything before as normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dboomer Posted November 19, 2014 Author Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 and another thing ... If I try to back and edit from an iPAd2 it simply erases everything and I have to completely start over. No problem with computer on this one.

Members Dendy Jarrett Posted November 19, 2014 Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 It is being worked on sir boomer! The challenge is that we have a feed for the forums and a feed for the content, and getting them to handle adaptive in the same manner is causing some issues with certain screen sizes. Keep the faith guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted November 19, 2014 Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yep, I have to copy-and-paste my posts if I want to edit them in iPad or iPhone. Been reporting this for MONTHS now. Also, what's up with a mobile version that you can't pinch and open bigger, anyway? And am I the only one for whom the user and expert review links aren't working?

Members StratGuy22 Posted November 20, 2014 Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yes to all of those. I just no longer edit. I use a blank space graphic to put spaces between paragraphs. It's also completely dog ass slow. I'm thinking it must be some sort of gauntlet. It's like they are actively trying to kill the forums. They've almost succeeded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted November 20, 2014 Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yep. None of it (especially each issue taken individually) is the end of the world, but it IS pretty much the end of the forum. The only people left are those of us who are so dog-headedly addicted to this place that we'll put up with whatever garbage is thrown at us. Sometimes I feel like the guy who should have left the girl who mistreats him badly years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What OS are you using and what browser. This type of information will help us. Believe it or not, we have had members complain it is slow to find out they are on IE 6.0 using a dial up connection. Harmony Central contains millions and millions of bits of data and it can be slow, but a page load should not exceed two or three seconds.

But since you have been with us so long, there is no way you can overlook that we have made miraculous strides in the last 8 months. Statistics show that the typical guy that is mistreated by his girl, is the guy who talks badly about his girl! (I jest of course!) Keep the feedback coming. We are working on it.

All other sites load quickly. I just pressed "quote" and it took 24 seconds before I was able to type anything. I'll go try on another web site,..

Members StratGuy22 Posted November 20, 2014 Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 5 seconds to post. That's pretty good I'll go check my post in the lighting section: I'll open the link in another tab. 5 seconds to load the page. Now switching to the lighting area: about 10 seconds, and he same the load the actual post. That's pretty quick for the site. Often I just close the window and give up.

Members agedhorse Posted November 21, 2014 Members Share Posted November 21, 2014 Dendy, I think a big part of the challenge is that maybe TOO much data is needed for each page load in order to support the feature set that's been promised. A more simplified approach almost always hass higher odds of a better execution and user experience (unless the user really needs all the "pretty eye candy". So, add "too much data" with a forum or site structure that does not handle data well, or quickly, or accurately, you add in some sub-optimal access methods and browsers, and you have what we have here.

Members Dendy Jarrett Posted November 21, 2014 Members Share Posted November 21, 2014 We roll a new code (version) tomorrow night (Friday, Nov. 21st) and the development team (Nucleus Creative) believe that it may fix the slow load times. The amount of data in this 15 year old community is so massive, that parsing all that data is causing some of these slow loads. We have (fingers crossed) determined a way to cache some of the data to speed up these loads. We'll know by the weekend if all goes as planned. Thanks for hanging tough ...D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bieke Posted November 27, 2014 Members Share Posted November 27, 2014 According to Alexa.com; HC falls in the "very slow" category, 86% of sites are faster.There was a fix in 5.1.3 (don't know what version HC is running on now)on my system, which can be considered ancient (Win7/IE9), it still runs pretty fastbut if I empty my cache and clean up my browser history, it's notably slower MacRumors.com (about 1million members, 20million posts in 1.7 million threads) is preparing to migrate their forums. MStill running on vB3 but decided to go with Xenforo. Why? vBulletin is on its last legs and has no future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wesg Posted November 27, 2014 Members Share Posted November 27, 2014 Dendy, how about making it remember what threads I've read on an account-by-account basis? It seems to work on a computer-by-computer basis right now, which is annoying as heck when you have a phone, an iPad, an office, a bedroom...
