Things that Aggrevate you about FCB's software.

[Super Mario]

I would just suggest nobody uses IE for ANYTHING. Except downloading a decent browser and then never opening it again.

 

[nappyd]

going to login redirects you to "invalid login" type of page, then can click to go to a page and suddenly logged in.
the mobile extra posts showing up.
blowout doesn't pay you to do their mobile app.


I think those are the big 3 for me.

The mobile browser actually gets good reviews.

The biggest thing I use on the app is the "participated" tab, and the "subscribed threads" link on the full site.

I didn't see anything like this on the mobile browser.

It just seems ancient and I couldn't find anything.

I host my own images on my website, so when I want to add an image into a message, I copy the URL from my site and then just hit paste when I get back to the FCB quick reply menu. I'd much prefer if there was a button for

tags in addition to the "Insert Image" button in the tool bar. I don't like a new window pop-up for each image I want to add. Couple of sites I go to allow me to just highlight my pasted URL, hit an "IMG Tags" button, and it will put the IMG tags on my link. Can also be done for URL tags. As it is now, I find it faster to physically type in the IMG tags around my pasted URLs than use the Insert Image tool. But having buttons for those tags would really speed things up for me, especially when posting multiple images.

Another one... the search feature. If I search for a specific term, when I click on a search result to a thread that has multiple pages, it takes me to the first page of the thread, even if it doesn't have the search term I'm looking for. So I have to click through multiple pages to find the highlighted term. Would be nicer if it just automatically went to the page that the highlighted search term is on.

Sometimes when I go to add an image from my phone, the pop up window shows only the cancel bar.

I second both of those posts, Brad.

 

[gracecollector]

Does the software still throw an automatic tag on serial numbers? Let's see: Card is number #17 /40. Is there any way to have it recognize that with the slash, it's not a hashtag reference? As of now, when I type a serial number it adds the hashtag and extra space automatically - don't like that. #17/40 - had to go to edit message, and delete the URL tag manually to get it to appear this way.

I never have speed/upload problems with the app.. Unless I'm in a metal building but then my service is slowed anyway.
Quotes and mentions don't work like they used to is it

Photobucket. Not really an FCB issue though. I just hate links taking me there

EXCELLENT POINTS so far


NONE will be ignored when we get into fixing issues on the site. The only reason they aren't fixed yet is because I lack the technical ability.

Is the speed issue a software problem or a hosting problem?

On the mobile app, when I view a thread and the pics are externally hosted, I get a square with the broken image icon in the middle of it.

Also echo'ing being able to use html or quick tag a pic that Im hosting and isnt being uploaded to your server.

Do you know you can just drag and drop an image into a post? You don't need to copy the URL or mess with img tags.

I'll second getting rid of the twitter hashtag link thing

One issue I have often on app (Android) is when I go to upload a picture, it will go thru the process but won't allow me to upload it. I'll hit the photo button, select my photo, then little window pops up and options are cancel or upload. Upload isn't option lots of times. So I'll hit cancel, copy my message and try again. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Next time it happens I'll get a screenshot of it.

 

[Hendersonfan]

All this is just an example. This is what it should look like every time. Sometimes THIS FORUM doesn't show and only option is to cancel.

I just posted the same thing. I didn't read all the posts until now. Isn't that so annoying when you can only cancel?

 

[BBCgalaxee]

Absolutely! Especially after typing a long post.

Here's something which happens many times to me.

I start typing and after a while, the words and letters start lagging behind and some words don't actually get posted.

So I might type out "I don't think Bryce Harper is over rated but some people do" only for it to actually post as "I don't think Bryce is over but some do"

I'm testing your suggestion. Doesn't work in Internet Explorer - the image opens in a new browser window. In Chrome, it pastes the URL like below, but no image tags. What browser are you using?

Sounds like most of these issues are ie related

Chrome, that's weird. Here is a screen shot of me doing it. I literally just grab it and it gives that little image, and then wherever I put it the actual image shows up, no code.
