are we going to get rid of the ad blocker issue? I'd much rather pay a fee than continue to have to shut my security down when I want to come to OS 600 times a day.

If I'm logged in, it's incredibly slow. But a lot better if I'm not logged in.

Tried accessing the forums through Safari this morning, where I was already logged in. After several minutes, it timed out. So I decided to test Chrome, where I was not logged in. Loaded right up. But as soon as I logged into my account on Chrome, it slowed to a crawl (took several minutes to get to where I could write this reply).

Opened a private browser in Safari, and it opened with no problem. But since it was a private browser, I wasn't logged in.

Will OS Real Time be returning also?

I've used Tapatalk to easily access the forums for years. It's the easiest and simplest way I know to see each of the most recent forum posts via mobile. Since the update last night, the forum is no longer working via Tapatalk. I had to use Chrome via mobile to make this post, but it's not very visually appealing to scroll through the forums. Is there a better way to view the forums via mobile after this new update or will Tapatalk ever work again? Thanks!

Aside from the speed, the biggest issue I'm having right now is that I can't get my avatar back (Cubs logo). I found where to set up an avatar, but there's an error as soon as I choose the image from my PC (it's a 150 x 105 jpg, so that shouldn't be an issue)

Error is

• An unexpected error was returned: 'fwrite(): Argument #1 ($stream) must be of type resource, bool given'

I wanted to +1 this issue. I hit the same thing yesterday.

Update: This is now fixed (5/2/25)

Issue: Emoji reaction button hard to see.

Description:
The emoji react button is a blank gray oblong shape. Hard to tell what its purpose is. See this image for "before and after" of clicking it.

UPDATE: This is now fixed (5/2/25)

Issue: colon in post title from old forums is replaced by strange characters

Description: the title of this thread was "The Bulgarian Brothers: a College Hoops 2K8 and NBA 2K Dynasty". As you can see from the screenshot, the colon was replaced with weird characters.

Issue: likes have not carried over in migration

Description: on the old forums, this post had 5+ likes. Now it has zero.

UPDATE: This is now fixed (5/13/25)

Issue: tables are now HTML

Description: This one is extra painful for me. All the tables in my dynasty are now huge chunks of HTML. I have so many tables in this thread.

UPDATE: This is now fixed. (5/13/25)

Issue: Old YouTube embeds not showing up

Description: anyplace I embedded a YouTube video is now just the embed code. See screenshot.

Update: This is now fixed (5/2/25)

Issue: existing forum links aren't redirected to their new posts.

Description: my dynasty is full of links to previous posts, providing the reader with more context. Every single one of those links is now broken. It's probably hundreds of links across my dynasty thread. Here's an example URL: https://forums.operationsports.com/f...ty-58.html#458

Issue: no "last page" button

Description: just a small quality of life thing, but there is no longer an easy way to jump to the last page of a thread. I have to type in the page number.

Issue: subscription initial sorting state is confusing

Description: On my subscription page (accessed by clicking the Subscriptions - 143 link below my profile info on my profile page, see screenshot), the default sorting is confusing. The header shows arrows next to both Name and Last Activity, but it appears to only be sorted by Name.

Suggestion: subscriptions in are most useful where sorted by last activity. The old forum had a great system and the new one is also missing some information that one had. It's also weird to be subscribed to a person. What does that even mean?

[studbucket]

UPDATE: This is now fixed (5/16/25)

Issue: no link to parent forum at bottom of thread.

Description: a quality of life thing from the old forums was a breadcrumb of your forums that included links on the bottom of the page. When I hit the end of a thread, I could click that to go back to the forum and find more posts. Now I have to scroll all the way to the top of the page to do that.

Issue: per-post search functionality is weird/broken

Description: I want to find all posts in my dynasty thread where I refer to a player with the last name "Merchant". See image 1. When I search for this, I get a weird experience. No search results are returned and it appears to only be filtering the active page? I could just ctrl+f if I wanted that. (see image 2)

Post search is really important to me from a dynasty perspective. I use it multiple times a week.
