Mobile Updates

The New Posts page is the heart of many users' visitation pattern. They go back and forth between New Posts and individual threads.  You'll now find permanent navigation to the New Posts page inside the mobile sidebar . Look for the radio tower icon next to "Forums." Tapping this will take you to the sitewide New Posts page. Tapping anywhere else in the "Forums" bar will take you to the forum index.

Many page types are not yet supported on Mobile (reviews, for example). If you happen to follow a link to one of these pages while on a mobile device, you'll see the Desktop version of the site with an alert: " There is no Mobile version of this page yet ." We doubled the size of this alert so that it could be more easily seen on small screens. Note that it may appear cartoonishly large if, for some reason, you see it in a desktop browser, but that is not a bug :)

A minor UI update: the flag, delete, edit, and thumb-up buttons underneath Mobile posts now display an integrated "spinner" graphic while they're working to let the user know that their tap was received and their request is in progress. This is especially important with Mobile connections, where an action could complete speedily or butt slow.

Search

We found that even when searching for an exact product or article title that it was pretty difficult to find the product/article on the first page of results. We've made some relevance changes which will help articles and products make it to page 1 when users are searching for them. We've also improved the ranking order of the dedicated "products" tab of search results.

Fixes

#7640: Erratic line spacing when using the "remove nested quotes" option has been rectified.

#11960: Product page images now correctly open in a lightbox view instead of loading the source file in same window.

#11955: Old deleted posts were sometimes still visible on Mobile. This has been corrected.

#12022: The staff roll call page was showing some unexpected behavior, such as displaying very high-level users in rather low-level groups. A member's group associations are now correctly sorted by priority before deciding which group to list a member in. Groups shown on the page are also now sorted by priority. Please report any further issues you see on this page now. The issue is likely due to the priority rank data on your site, and may require a custom data fix.

#11798: When a user invokes the image uploader from an album category, that category will correctly be preselected for them in the uploader

#11889: Some browsers don't support CSS gradients but we configure fallback solid colors for these. We missed a couple of mobile sites but we've covered them now. This would have made the Mobile header look funny in IE9, for example.

#11905: Some users profiles were pointing to the avatar albums of other users. This was data-related and affected a small subset of users over a short period.

    • Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward. 
    • Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point. 
    • When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.  
    • I liked Rory talking about keeping it shallow. I think a lot of people imagine steep as really steep. Trackman has a PW attack angle at 5 degrees. Pitch shots you probably want less than 5-degrees.  Here is 5 degrees, the dashed line. It isn't much at all.  People probably need to feel like the club is stupidly shallow if they hit it really steep.  Some good tidbits of information though. 
    • Hey, many thanks in identifying those.
