Not sure if this has been mentioned or requested before. I use the mobile version of the site about 90% of the time and it would be really great if you could view likes and like posts without having to switch to the full site.
Since several Days i try to post YouTube videos on this Forum Normally they are embedded as Window in the post now if post a You tube video here, it show as Text Link to YouTube I use Mac with current MacOS and Safari 10.1.2
An update note, that a minor but annoying SSL amber warning is gone from the forum. It was seen on some forum threads where long time members had posted and their avatars - added to the forum several versions ago - weren't generating the HTTPS that the internet has a fit over. Mark's fixed it So every thread will be like this now.
Your connection to this site is not secureYou should not enter any sensitive information on this site (for example, passwords or credit cards), because it could be stolen by attackers.
The user would have to manually enter https and then change the bookmark URL. The other issue is a google search at least right now for me doesn't link you the https version of NSF and the forums. The user might have clear my cache and history if it doesnt resolve itself because it defaults back to the old http address.

That's something still being worked on but is on the todo list!Mark

Chris n'th time hint to not ask questions in an update thread but please 1. quote,2. copy,3. open fitting discussion thread 4. open new reply and insert it there gave me an idea:Add a "quote in associated (discussion) thread" button to update threads (or any thread where an other thread would be associated to). This should automate the steps above with one simple click. So less questions in update threads, less work for admins to move posts around and less work for users would already did that. And only a bit work for the guy implementing it
I have been having a problem for weeks now with the site constantly reloading and disabling the back button. Initially it seemed to be associated with an ad at the bottom. Something about gadgets one click away. I could reload until some other add loaded instead and it would work. but as soon as that add reappeared the back button stopped working again. That ad eventually went away but the problem is still there and happens almost every time I load a NSF page. I have had problems before and they were usually google ads at the bottom. But now I'm mostly not getting google ads and the problem has been going for weeks.Using Firefox.
