I see exactly what you're talking about on your Mobile Screen Shot BUT when I go through your steps on my DESK TOP, the "More Options" icons don't show. When I click on the three dots the text of the message comes down but as I said, the "More Options" icons don't display.

Someone posted elsewhere that the more options stuff is showing up to the right of the reply box on an older browser. You might check to see if you can scroll to the right after clicking the three dots and see if the emojis are there.

As far as I can tell, "sort by date" is the the default result for simple search. Newest to oldest. I don't see any difference from the simple search in the prior BF Xenforo version.

I'm in this thread.
I click in the search window at the top of the page.
I put in the search terms.
I select "this thread".
I can choose a user.
I click <search>
The result is sorted by date. What am I missing?

I just put “Cadet” in a simple search of my postings, since I include it in almost all of my Totin’ posts. Order of results was: 4/28, 5/2, 5/4, 4/23, 4/9, 4/4, 4/17, 5/5, etc. Seems pretty random to me.

Edited to add: Went back and did the same search from the Totin' thread, selected "this thread" as you did. Same results.

Frank, we're apparently experiencing different behavior from a simple "Search"! o_O
Since you posted after I went to bed last night, I thought, "Hey! Maybe they actually have changed the Search default to 'sort by date'!"
But I just tried searching this thread for "sort by date", using this "search box":

and received these results, NOT sorted by date:

Quite puzzling to me!

Spark Spark just following up since I don't know the answer to this yet: Is "Post Areas" is unable to return to its former level of functionality? Thanks.

Nope. You are right. I reran my search and it sorts based on some weird criteria. Odd. It looked properly sorted to me last night.
 
So that's icloud and hotmail working again

Thanks for the confirmation, Frank, on both counts: that the previous version sorted simple Search results by date, and that the current upgrade sorts simple Search results by some other method (that IMHO is not nearly as useful as sort-by-date).

You don't suppose I could do a simple Search of a single thread, and then feed the results into an Advanced Search sorted by date???
I don't see how I can make the results of a Search the "input" for a subsequent search.

Going to try something with the search. It'll require rebuilding the index which will take a few hours

Spark Spark Just wanted to add, since I did complain a lot, that shit has been rock solid and smoooooth for me. Really appreciate the update Spark. It goes a long way.

If you're gonna bitch about shit, you also have to give love when shit works great. :) A+ homie.

I don't know if someone asked already, but... Will the option to fold/unfold some of the categories on forums will come back? Maybe I missed that :)

Welcome back!

As you can see, there's been some changes around here. Hopefully y'all like what you see.

Known issues / stuff that's getting fixed (PAY ATTENTION TO THIS POST AS IT WILL BE UPDATED):

Email notifications- this is an issue with google not properly doing the mail because we've moved servers. We have request updates pending and they should take effect shortly many domains fixed. Still working on others. Have to reenable DKIM / DMARC. Yahoo.com / GMX.de addresses having faults

Possible issue with 2 factor authorization being enabled on accounts that did not ask for it.

Search engine is rebuilding. Please be patient
- "Post areas" section of member profiles showing where you are most active is a function of the search engine. It will be returning

Forum categories missing from top navigation bar, they will be readded ASAP

Issues with the new image uploader. Will be investigating this when possible

Banner ads are temporarily disabled as I track down other issues. They will be fixed.

Usability requests to be done when I have time:
- Page navigation showing up at top of threads when in mobile done
- Change font color for last page number in Grey theme
- Change font color for feedback in Grey theme

More to come
