If you refresh the page and then go to the reply box again, there should be a banner above the text box that lets you clear contents.  There's probably an easier way to do it but thats the workaround im using.

Yeah, this setup kinda sucks, but mostly on mobile. On desktop, you can cmd+a and it grabs the quote so you can delete it. It doesn't do this on mobile and I haven't dug into why yet.

Post a screen, if you can.

It's still doing it and it's so bad. Anyone recommend an easy site to host the pic on so I can show it here?

Email me at brock.beauchamp@northsidebaseball.com, thanks.

Thanks for getting dark mode rolled out! 

Is it possible to modify some of the text and icons though? There is some gray and blue text on dark background that doesn't come through well at all. 

Screenshots of light/dark attached to show some of the icon and links

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yeah, definitely. I have quite a bit of work to do on dark mode, will get to it next week, I hope.

One of my favorite things about the new software is the ability to post screenshots directly into your post without hosting them anywhere. Just take a screenshot, click reply and post the pic. It's awesome.

Oh horsefeathers off, that is amazing.

Minor item for your to-do list:

There is no icon on browser tabs for the site.  It's just a generic icon.  Makes it difficult to pick it out which tab is NSBB out of the far too many tabs I have open.

Verified this is the case both in Edge and Chrome.

It was there two days ago. Where the hell did it go?

Yeah, there's some weird asset management issue happening on the site and we can't pin down exactly what is causing it. Oh well, we'll get it resolved at some point.

Well, it's back.

Still some dark mode issues. When searching in the GIF repository, the text is white on a white background

Yeah, I have a pile of dark mode issues to work on. Unfortunately, I'm spending most of this week entertaining children on spring break instead of working but I might be able to whittle away at a few of the issues.

Anyone having trouble pasting into a post?

1. where's Social
2. no more preview option before posting?

You have to request access to social for the time being.  it will eventually be made public.  Brock usually sees these quickly and will add you.

Yeah there's no preview anymore, but most of the stuff that you would use preview for on the old forum are embedded into the text box here.  Like if you paste a twitter link it automatically embeds it into the message you are composing, if you try to quote, it creates the quote box, etc.

is it just me, or is it clunky to have social so far down away from the other forums? just a minor complaint

Once I get through some of my bug list, I'll take a look at the forums, their placement, and shuffle some things around. The Social forum is too active to be that far down the list, I agree.

[stitchface]

why, when I go to the next page does it load to the bottom of the page? Makes no sense.

Yeah, Brock is aware of this one.  It's a bug that's on his radar....

I played around with the Notification settings, but have not found a way to turn off push notifications when articles are posted. I'd prefer to only get notifications based around posts (not articles).

Is this possible?

You're getting a bubble icon when articles are posted? At the top right of your screen? If so, that shouldn't happen. If you confirm this is the case, I'll look into it.

Yes, every time an article is posted I get a bubble icon (and a notification on the list)
