Some forum questions

[kgr]

- Is this the correct category for BBF questions or is it only for BBO software?

- Is it possible to ignore a forum category in view recent posts?

- How does view new content work on mobile? Is it refreshing continuously or only on request?

- When viewing new content on mobile it often says getting data; like it is somehow refreshing?

- I assume that BBF software is standard forum software and that there is not much for the administrator to change to the behavior?

- Some posts, with larger hand diagram,cannot be viewed on my phone because moving the screen doesn't work. (cannot see right part of the hand diagram).

(- It would be good to have a separate category for play questions).

 

Thanks,

Koen

Yes, this is the correct place to ask.

 

I don't think there's a way to ignore forums in VIew Recent Posts. There was a thread a few months ago where someone posted links you can click on to automatically mark some categories as read, to remove them from the recent posts list.

 

I have no idea how the forum changes on mobile.

 

Yes, it's commercial software, IP.Board from Invision Power Services. There are lots of configuration options that we can set, and there are ways to add custom features (like the hand viewer and editor). But we avoid modifying the base code itself, we just use the customization hooks.

 

We're running a pretty old version of the software (we're running 3.1.4, the current version is 3.4.4), I expect they've made many improvements to the mobile view in newer versions.

Why can I not upvote a post by one of the forum moderators / admin whenever I think they have made an excellent reply to whatever someone else has posted? :unsure:
