New Forum Questions and Discussion

mr_blown_dry

Upgraded the forum from version 1.8.1 to 1.8.5 and PHP from 8.2.15 to 8.3.2.

There weren't any issues with the process and everything seems to be good. Since the forum update was so minor, I just ran a backup of the database and upgraded it "hot", without putting it in maintenance mode. (Don't tell @blown_dry . 🤫 I'm always giving her a hard time about being sure to run changes to DA through the staging server before going live with them.)

Let me know if you notice any problems.

mr_blown_dry , Thank you for all you do to keep the forum running smoothly!

Hello! I’m hoping for help finding out if/how keyword searches are possible while accessing the forum via mobile device? I’m not seeing the “Search Forum” field that appears in the green menu bar along the top of the screen when I’m logged in using a desktop computer. (Mobile device is iOS)

Bessie

Krista click on the header that lists "All Discussions". On the left side, you'll see 3 small lines, which you can click into. "Search Forum" is in that menu.
Here are some Android screen shots that are very similar.

Krista

Bessie Ahh this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! And I appreciate your screenshots lots.

Hello, this isn’t urgent, just wanted to find out if there’s a way to self-serve edits to the information shared in our profiles? My climate zone and locale will change for this year’s growing season and I am hoping to keep my info up to date. 🌱

Bessie

On my computer I am able to modify my profile.
Or, In the upper right hand of the chrome browser on a smartphone choose "desktop site" from the menu.

Instructions go something like this:
Click on your name in the upper right hand header.
Click on "profile" on the page.
Click on the "edit".

Bessie Oh, thank you Bessie! I looked and looked and found ways to change lots of things... but my eyeballs skipped over that somehow.

Krista

Bessie Thank you, once again! It looks like perhaps not available on the mobile version — I’ll have to log in on the laptop at some point. Thanks again, and I always appreciate the screenshots!

Bessie

Krista if your browser has a "desktop site" setting available (chrome does), you can access the profile once you are in that mode. You would click the upper right hand browser menu that has the vertical "...". On an iPhone, the chrome "..." Menu is on the bottom right. I opened up this forum on safari. In the upper left hand menu, if you click on your name, and then click on the profile twice, you will get an edit option.

I feel better now. I was looking on mobile because I think most people use that.

Bessie

blown_dry from my experience, the mobile supports editing on your android or iPhone, it's just that you have to go through a few hoops to get where you want to go. It can sometimes be a pain to get to a computer, so finding the tricks is worthwhile.

This also works for me on an iPhone (orange arrows).

Oh Thank You!!!! This works perfectly — I couldn’t figure out “desktop site settings” to save my life. 💓
