Is it safe to "Drink" from the NILE.? Nev

I've been drinking from the Nile for 30 years, I've never suffered from anything before, what do you think?

A flight that I would really like to do is fly the Nile...starting at Burundi, south of the equator, along the whole length of The Nile, through Egypt, stop off and have a cup of tea with @Ahmed Zayed, see the Pyramids, have a drink from The Nile and have dinner with a "Queen of the Nile" and end up finishing at the Mediterranean Sea.

Waiting you

We must take a moment and give EXTREME thanks to @Ahmed Zayed for spending hours all night developing a way to migrate all the Aircraft in the Aircraft Section...if he hadn't been able to achieve this then we would have been stuck on xenforo and the gaming style web site software direction they are now going...words would fail me to say how appreciative I am for him doing this and as I am sure you all are as well.

Unfortunately the data to pull out the thread creation date is not accessible without editing core software files...if it is a MUST HAVE then I would need to get @Ahmed Zayed to code it but it would not be an advisable exercise

Okay, will add this feature tonight (Egypt Time) 

Regards, 

I'm also aware of the long menu case, the solution is to implement the vertical scroller but I don't really want a page with 2 vertical horizontal scrollers...

 

The alternative that Ian have will be better.

 

And regarding this one,

 

Plus the z-index score of the color picker isn't high enough to cover the main menu

 

It should be now fixed.

 

 

Query re ignored list.

As a personal choice there are some individuals I have no desire to hear from.  I have checked my ignor list and they are still there but I am getting their posts since the new site set up.

 

Is there a simple way to reactivate my list?

Kindly refer the following post:

 

 

Unless a page takes longer than 5 minutes to load, still not working. Sorry I don't have live screen capture on this laptop. I thought it might have been because my default is What's New (All). Tried What's New (Unread). Same thing. My browser is Chrome.

Ah, this should only work inside forums listings page not in the streams page.

 

 

Hi Ahmed. I tried the preview feature with no success. Hovered the cursor on the topic title for 2 minutes with no response.

You've to wait until page loading finish then just hover on topic subject:

 

 

 

On the old site I could hover over the subject and see the more detail of the subject. Can this be activated with the new site?

This feature is already activated...

 

If you're logged in as a member, and hover on the topic title in topics listing page then you can a see preview for first and last post [see the following image]:

 

 

Ian this web site is slow as...when you read a page and the is another page which you then go to and read ...then backtrack to the main page again takes forever .

This is under discussion between me and Ian... Already some action have been taken and it should make effect.

 

 

Hi Ahmed, the numbering isn't working properly...I just posted above and the number says #1 

Ah, Now fixed for multi-pages topics.

 

 

From the left side menu, click the bell icon then "Notification Settings" as the following photo:

 

 

From the following section you can decide how to receive notifications:

 

 

 

I have noticed that the individual posts used to be numbered which was useful for saying, for example, "See post #1234 for photos of XYZ" - could that numbering be re-instated?

Now added:

 

 

 

You're right, that is strange...I might try and rebuild the search however that will take some time..q.will look into it further

 

 

 

I am rebuilding the search index which seems to be fixing the issue however I have no idea how this has happened...perhaps

 

@Ahmed Zayed might know what could have caused it

 

 

 

The site is running slower on my computer Ian . Bernie

 

An issue with the Elastic Search Engine server has occurred today that caused search index table to corrupt... This issue is now cleared by the action that Ian took. For the slow loading, I'm not sure what is the reason, I have it running with moderate (Normal) speed right now in my area. If any one from the same area that can confirm, it would be good.

 

 

Following topic...

 

 

@Jim McDowall Hi 

 

You'll need to recreate a new login on lastPass for the new plat form...

 

LastPass, as I remember, mainly depend on form id, which is different between the 2 platforms.

 

 

Any reason why the post disappear once read ? before they stayed and you could just go back and re-read again if another post jogged your memory on something ?

Bernie . 

Disappear from what? could you please explain

 

 

Update:

 

Mobile header navigation menu look changed, also sticky to the heading:

 

 

 

1 Where are the Private Messages? I don't seem to be able to find them.

On the left and side vertical menu:

 

/monthly_2018_11/image.png.fcd84a8683f2e4f9ef7fdf460fbfd62c.png" data-ratio="108.38">

 

2 Is it possible to show notifications for private messages like it did on the old system?

3 Is it possible to show notifications for new posts placed on threads I am following like it did on the old system?

If you mean the pop-up message on login, so, yes...

 

You can do that from notification settings here:

 

/monthly_2018_11/image.png.d2087f3dcd7064f9497467268778fcc7.png" data-ratio="101.28">

 

 

From the same page,  scroll down, and you'll find every piece of content item will have a notification method, fine tune it according to your needs.

1. After Ahmed's changes, on the Iphone (which is the larger 6S) the images are still a blur on the screen. Tapping doesn't make them any better. Two or three finger grabs increases to size to the point of clarity, but at that point you get around 1/8 to 1/6 of the image. You can scroll to see all parts of the image, but that's disjointed.

I really appreciate your concerns and the perfect data you've illustrated...

 

But just to be clear and I to assure that I got the point...

 

Now, near my workstation, I've 3 different devices [iPhone 6S, Samsung Galaxy Tablet "Don't know the exact model", and an old HTC desire mobile phone "5.5 inch screen"],

 

I've taken 2 different screenshots from each one of them (1 more for a tapped image from iPhone 6S), but I really can not figure what is the difference between any of them.

 

That's why I believe it's not (Android/iOS) issue.

 

Please confirm if this is same as your case.

 

For the auto save case, does it happen only on iPhone also?

 

Regards;

 

Ahmed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your screen shots appear 3 per page; too small to read. When expanded (which would make a very slow process) the font is just a blur.

The current width is exactly the same as old design, please consider that the design is responsive and is designed to match all kind of screens without implementing extra horizontal scrollbars.

 

When you stretch the image it becomes blurred and unreadable

 

Not testing for Iphone probably explains the issue.

I think I got what you mean in this regard, It's not an iPhone related issue, as I understand you mean the image is in low resolution.

 

Actions taken in this regard:

 

- I increased attached images resolution to the maximum value.

 

Please confirm if this look now suits?

 

Great work.  Unfortunately my alerts no longer seem to be working - despite posts being made to threads I've been getting notifications for, and in fact still getting emails telling me I have notifications, when I click on the little bell it says "There are no notifications to display".

Please take into consideration that the current platform is totally flexible in notifications....

 

I've checked your account and I found that you have email notification "Only" for topics you follow... You can fine tune notification settings from user settings menu [to be inline notification in addition to emails].

 

For the hidden notification after pop-ups, this - sometimes - may be caused by badly cached data by the browser.

 

So, for this case, you can just try "hard refreshing" the browser (Ctrl+F5 for windows).

 

 

Would like to hear your feedback.

 

The line running down the LH side is still there; just took this screenshot. It also groups posts into blocks - last hour, today etc which is not necessary with date/time stamp already there, and the combinatio of the vertical line/block arrangement squeezes the text down making it harder to read, and provides less information per page requiring more scrolling to read something.

 

Ian already figured this in his comment, this is actually the main cause for grouping the stream activity this way.

 

To make it more clear, let's say this streams (What's New) page, is more like Facebook timeline streams...

 

Its keeps you updated without even refreshing the page.

 

To get more info about the stream item, you can change toggle the view to the expanded view...

 

Kindly check this screenshot:

I don't know what you've done Ian, but it's not working for me. Always opens up in the Jabiru build vlog. Gee, I'll never understand why people can't leave 'well' alone. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 

Could you please provide a screenshot of the bug/issue you have, this will allow us clear the issue quickly...

Update:

 

The old system reactions system has been now migrated to the new platform.

Ahmed

 

 

Hey;

 

First of all, thanks Ian for this nice introduction, truly appreciate it.

 

Secondly, I'd praise all efforts that have been exerted by every one here to keep this website up...

 

So, This is Ahmed Zayed, a php developer, based on Egypt. I'm here now to totally support aircraftpilots.com [Technical Support Developer].

 

Let's focus our discussion here on 2 basic points:

 

1. What is going wrong after this recent move-on.
    
    
   
2. What would you like to have in AircraftPilots.
    
    
   

 

 

As Ian said, The next step is to migrate the old reactions into the current platform... This is supposed to be completed within the next 24 hours (It will be processed silently).

 

I'll be standing by the topic and getting immediate notifications about any "Bugs" or "Requests".

 

Please forgive me for not being active for other community sections.

 

Regards;

 

Ahmed
