Jill Sparrow 8,516 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Finding the three dots was simple enough and, yes, desktop view was there with a tick box. It makes no difference. Still can't see PMs or notifications. Desktop view changes nowt! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 8,976 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 The three dots are here - to the right of the number 1 in a box. Click on the dots and you'll get a load of options; you may have to scroll down to find the one named Desktop. 11 minutes ago, Jill Sparrow said: Desktop view changes nowt! Nothing changes at all ? I get what I see on my iMac, albeit very small. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 8,516 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Nothing at all. Doesn't matter. I can still post. Just can't read PMs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavertongirl 1,450 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 I haven’t got the 3 dots as I have nothing above the blue banner. I can still post, give likes and navigate round the site although it does involve quite a few steps. Sometimes have to close site and reopen to get to Days posts. Might charge up my old laptop to see if that is any better Although I prefer to use my iPad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 2,299 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Yet another SNAFU upgrade. I guess these guys do not do any quality control testing before they release an upgrade. I use the right side scroll bar to go right to the bottom of the listings as as the "unread content " icon works there unlike the one at the top of the page. What is the go with the "history"bar down the side of the posts? totally irrelevant. As is usual the search function remains about as much use as a chocolate firescreen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 8,976 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 When I first saw the information about the three black dots, I thought the developers were right after all - and we were the idiots. Now we get evidence that the three dots don't solve all the problems, and it really is true that the developers hadn't checked everything before releasing it to the world at large.

Beekay 2,874 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Who are these "developers"? Can the format not be reverted to it's former style. I always thought it were run by Nottingham folk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roger peatman 287 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Don't know if this helps anybody, but I just fired up my i.pad and noticed that if I hold it in landscape position, the page displays normally, but in portrait, many options are not visible. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 2,874 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 On my Galaxy8, the line right at the top, above the nottstalgia logo, there an info line telling what your on and in the right hand top corner there is no page icon, then the 'share' symbol then the three dots. The only trouble is once closed, when I re open I have to click on desk top sight every time. It won't stay on that screen. It's where the crude red circle is LL. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,167 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 G'mornin' ya'll Finally got on the laptop. The whole header of NS is only half there. Probably why I can't find the three dots. More positive notes. I am reading this without glasses! Had my second cataract surgery on Monday a.m. The difference is amazing. Everything is much clearer and brighter. Colours look like new. Gotta use drops for the next couple of weeks and see my own eye doctor on Monday for followup, but I can live with that. If your eye doctor ever recommends this surgery don't hesitate. It works great and is less uncomfortable than a visit to the dentist. My appointment was at 6:30 a.m and I was home by 9:30 a.m. Wish I'd had it done a couple of years ago. Anyway, hope I will soon be able to post from my Ipad again. Don't use it much now except to post to NS. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 2,874 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Good news Loppy ! Glad to hear your sights improved. Hope your glasses can stay in your pocket now. Maybe it's a sign for a better year for you. Take care mate. B. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,167 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Gonna have a go at playing the organ this afternoon. I should be able to read the music better now. Just hope my right hand and foot will cooperate. Mr. Bach probably doesn't like what I've been doing to his music the last few weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 8,516 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 At the close of his time here, Mr Bach would have liked to see as well as you now do! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 8,516 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Someone has just sent me a personal message. I suspect it's susannahanorak. Since the new format has been instigated, I cannot access personal messages. If you're reading this, sender, please post in the normal way as, otherwise, I can't communicate with you.

Cliff Ton 8,976 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Re: the multiple problems caused by the recent update. A few days ago, this new member registered on Nottstalgia. IPS is the company who are responsible for the software - and therefore the mess. I wonder if this person has been back to see what's happening, and if they've got anything to tell us about plans to fix the bits that don't work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 8,516 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 An hour or so ago, CT, I found myself in a strange place called an Inbox where I could read all my PMs! Never been there before. Spent the last half an hour trying to get there again with b*gger all success. I can send PMs by clicking on other people's little blue envelopes in their profiles. Just can't access their replies. I'd tell you what I think of this upgrade but I don't use language like that! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
