Community platform bugs, issues and suggestions

[Martin-O2]

Hey everyone, 

This topic is a place where we will keep the community updated about the status of any issues or bugs affecting the community platform that we are aware of and have reported. We will keep an up to date tracker of what the issue is, when it was first reported, the current status and the latest update. This will enable you to easily check if something you've noticed has already been flagged. 

How do I report a new issue or bug I've encountered on the community? 

We would like you to use this topic to report any new bugs or issues that you come across so we can add them to the tracker. To do this simply report the issue in the comments and tag in the community team so we can update the top post with any new issues. Please include as much detail as possible when reporting a new issue and where possible include the following: 

• The Date and time you first noticed the issue 
• A detailed description of what the issue is and how it's affecting your user experience 
• If applicable include the URL of where you encountered the issue 
• The web browser and operating system you are using 
• If applicable a screenshot of the issue 

The above information will help us and the support team properly identify the issue and get working on a fix. 

How do I check the status of an issue that has been reported? 

At the bottom of this post you will see a list of all the active and recently resolved issues. The current status of the issue, along with the most recent update with be shown there. If you have a new question or more information about an open issue please post it in the comments of this topic.

You can also use this topic to make requests or suggestions for new features or changes to how the community platform works! Please bear in mind that making changes can often take time and some requests won't be possible for various reasons but that said we would really appreciate your insights on how to improve the community interface and will aim to implement changes where possible. We will track any suggestions below the issues. 

Thanks for your patience while we work the outstanding issues and for your help reporting and testing.

Maybe I should go back to using Firefox

As good a browser Firefox is, I prefer Edge .

It just seems cleaner and fresher and gives me more options for what I use the laptop for

Also Windows 11 for about 12 months now

Do you occasionally @jonsie delete your temporary files, clear your cache of temporary internet files, delete your cookies and the like ?

The blasted unread posts problem is back!

Almost 3 years since it was logged here by Martin and it's still going on.

And the survey one is going on 2 1/2 years as well!!

Can you chase both of these please @Dave-O2 @Kei-M_O2 ?

[gmarkj]

Actually, I've just realised that the unread posts issue was previously logged with @EmilieT back in June 2019 (https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Discussions-Feedback/Forum-development-amp-bugs-updates/m-p/1239874 ) so it is actually over 5 years now!!

@gmarkj 

Also, I still have to refresh my page at top of PC or Mobile after posting as it appears as 2.1 (instead of 2.2. )

Like so :

[Kei-M_O2]

Diddly squat here I'm afraid.

We're actually planning a major platform upgrade that will move us onto a different codebase which may come sooner than getting any of these fixed...

Hope this helps 🙏 

@Kei-M_O2 

Still odd things happening 

[pgn]

Platform upgrade? Whee, a whole new set of bugs to discover, revel in and wade through 🤣

P'raps it'll break the survey pop-up 🤞

[jonsie]

Can't wait....!🙄

[Cleoriff]

Interesting to hear about a platform change!  Just getting used to this one and all the faults with it!!
