Forum software upgrade on the way

Jump to new

You're very welcome bux2000. I'm glad you're liking the upgraded software. There's quite a few new features, some of which I have detailed in previous posts in this thread. I will be sure to post about any more that I feel may be of interest to the ASF community.
 
Thank you for all your efforts Joe. Really appreciate keeping the site modern and up to date.

Still checking things out with the new upgrade. Found a couple of things really good. Such as Search function that work seamlessly now . Used to have to search a couple of times since 1st search result was blank often.

Also Home page is really clean and uncluttered but has useful information like "upcoming IPO's".
 
Glitch in the matrix this morning? Also, search is not currently working after the downtime.
 
Sorry folks. My fault. I forced a backup on Saturday when preparing for the upgrade. This is normal procedure.

I also have daily backups running automatically and when that backup ran early this morning my server ran out of disk space, which caused the server to crash.

Running out of disk space. Rookie error. ?

Everything should be back to normal now.

Purely a semantic quibble, but ... the alerts give a message "so and so reacted to your message..." I'd prefer responded. Tranquilo, muchachos!

Unfortunately this hasn't been available since the software upgrade. I will check today to see if I can figure out how to re-introduce that functionality.
 
No drama, just my luck to have picked today to research and analyse a heap of businesses! I like to cross check and see if there has been any discussion of the ones that get through my initial filters! (usually not)
 
What are "push" notifications? ASF keeps asking me to enable them. I've read Joe's post on them but that didn't explain it to me. I think I understand alerts but not pushes.

To my knowledge they are notifications (alerts) that will come through regardless of whether you are logged in or not, or have your browser open or not.
I guess I understand them to be for phones, but I believe it will probably happen on desk/lap top style computers.
Haven't watched the following you tube...
 
So, if I'm working on my latest "rocket science" project to extract a few dollars from the markets or going through the afternoon scan results I'll see an alert somewhere that my name has been mentioned in a post on ASF even if I'm not logged in to ASF or even have my web browser on? It would be a concentration breaker. Are these "pushes" being logged in China?

btw: I still don't have or use a mobile phone. Can I disable these "pushes" with an "X" in the right spot mentioned in Joe's post?

Push notifications are browser alerts that let you know that someone has mentioned you in a post, replied to your post, reacted to one of your posts etc. You do not have to be on ASF at the time to receive an alert. You browser will alert you with a little message that looks like the one below:



You can configure what you get alerted to in your account preferences:



So you don't have to be alerted to everything. You can, for example, just choose to be alerted when someone follows you, or when someone replies to one of your posts. Just check or uncheck the boxes next to "Push" for the alerts you want to receive or not receive, as the case may be. You can also choose not to enable them. It's an option available to those who may find them useful.
