Phone

Ah... that's what I suspected. Some phones try to compress the menu.

What I see happening when I test on a phone similator is that when the link icon is selected, it makes that the default. The attach icon disappeared.


When I zoomed out and hit the page refresh option, it also refreshed the menu and returned it back to normal.


Give that a try and see if it works. If it doesn't, I'll open a ticket with our web programmer and see if there's something that needs to be changed.

How do I add a photo from my media into a DM or a thread?

If you are on a phone, you may be having the same issue as the previous 3 posts.

You use the attach menu button that is in the screenshot in those posts.

If you go to your album picture, on right is a menu. If you click on the link icon it will copy the image address to use into your clipboard so that you can paste it into the DM.

Will JUB allow me to be logged in on my phone and my computer at the same time? Phone to take pictures and computer for actually enjoying the site.

There's no limitations on the number of active sessions that you can have under your logon.

The only caution: incomplete posts are held for 24 hours if you haven't saved them. The posts are tied to your username not your session, so be careful that, if you have a post that you've started in one session, be sure to look for that post in the other session, so that you don't accidentally double-post the same content.

Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate you.

I'm unable to send direct messages because it thinks it's spam. Is this because I'm newer or can it be fixed?

The System upgraded your account a couple of days ago, so you should be able to DM.

It's probably because your VPN keeps changing your country when it changes the location.

Turn your VPN off and it will probably allow you to send a DM. You can turn it back on after the message is sent.

When trying to reply to a post this evening (using the 'reply' link in bottom corner of the post so I'd get a quote of the post) I ran into an issue:
The reply page came up fine, but when I clicked in the reply box to type, it instantly redirected to a page on brokesstraightboys .com (a classic case of clickjacking ) which I know is same owners as JUB. very annoying. Made it impossible to type a reply since every time I'd try it'd redirect.
Only way I was able to get around it was to adblock links to join. Broke Straight Boys .com & offer. brokesstraight boys .com . (links purposly mispelled to get around the word-censor)
(oh and out of annoyance I pi-holed said site too).

I don't think this was a case of clickjacking.

There are some layered ads that appear on the bottom of each page that are part of an advertising app. The reply box is actually another layer that uses a third party editor (it's not a xenForo application).

It was more likely that the way that the layering of the pages happened, particularly if you're using the mobile version of the site, the click likely activated one of the advertising links in a overlapping cascading layer. If you're using a browser app, you can turn on developer mode and look at the layering to see the different <div> layers.

Footer layer:


Ad layer footer (this is an ad for BrokeStraightBoys):

@KaraBulut:
In this case I'm using a browser on a computer, so plenty of screen-space between the reply box & the footer.
Maybe it was one of those weird cases where for whatever reason the css layers just wasn't loading right that one time. Computers can be flakey in that way. .lol.
I didn't go into developer mode, but was looking through the <div>'s with a right-click & select 'inspect element' (thats where I found the one thing I wanted to block that was causing the issue).

What you described is definitely is not something that the site is doing intentionally. The advertisements are provided by a third party Add-On application. XenForo's forum software provides placemarker layers where ads can be inserted and the advertisement Add-On is inserting ads into those placemarker positions. The layers can result in some unexpected behaviors and that's likely what happened here.

I've had similar problems with the header layers. The CSS layers format in different ways, depending on which browser I'm using and whether it's full-screen or partial screen. It can be annoying, especially when one of the layers is a menu.
