It wasn't for that. It was for writing 'u' instead of 'you' and was 0 points. Just to stop mains posters from descending into a pit of shitty typing.

Only shorthand I can think of. I'm not a regular user of it.
Ah I didnt notice that. Fair enough
Hi Admins/mods, can someone help me with the process of becoming a Scout. I have gone through the FAQs thread in the forum, but that doesn't contain the procedure/mechanism to reach out to the mods for this
Suddenly it became a mess to type on the phone. I have the Swiftkey app and if you use the shortcuts like one should then it just writes some gibberish instead of the suggested word.
I've got no problem typing in any other app or game and I haven't encountered this problem on other websites.
I'm using the Chrome app to browse on the phone and I have recently updated Android so maybe it has something to do with it?

I've got the same problem, only happens on the caf too.
The mod team approaches posters when there's a vacancy. There's no application process.
Aah ok, thanks for clarifying Varun
Has the old link to the forum changed for good?
My bookmark (/forum.php) takes me to an error page now but /forums works

Yes that changed long ago. You should update your bookmark.
I only noticed the other day when I posted that, updated it now anyways
Is there a breakdown of worldwide demographics on caf users?
Or was there ever a poll created for this?

I use Chrome on my phone, no add-ons. All was fine until a couple of days ago. Now getting really odd behaviour, like the auto-correct has gone mad, with the cursor skipping around and switching randomly (it seems) between type over and insert. Again - I'm only seeing it on the Café at the moment.
Yeah it is only on the caf for me too. I use Chrome as well, but I can't use my phone atm because of this issues. Prediction words when pressed just end up a jumble of letters, and when I don't use them the space bar inserts random letters instead of a space.
How come there isn't an SSL cert for this site? ie a https option.
You would have to ask @Niall but I believe it is a bit of a pain to implement and do we really need it on this forum?
I recently oversaw implementing SSL on my employer's Moodle site with a very large user base and it took a few months of testing on stage/UAT servers before we were confident to go to production. This forum is smaller and simpler but the effort would still not be insignificant.
I think the rule of thumb is that any website with a login field should be https at this point in time. Besides, new users at redcafe are asked not only for email address and password, but also date of birth, plus optional information like their home town or country of origin, which many users will provide. Personally speaking, I'd hope that's enough to justify a secure connection.
I can't speak for how complicated it would be, but you'd only need to secure the login/signup page anyway. But since i have no idea how the site is hosted & know nothing about xenforo generally, I accept that even doing that may be very complicated & no-one wants the site to fall over for an extended period.
Another consideration is that Chrome is shortly going to start flagging any site not using https more prominantly as Not Secure in the address bar, which doesn't look great. https://security.googleblog.com/2018/02/a-secure-web-is-here-to-stay.html
I had a site last year and added Let's Encrypt which is free, it was super easy to install. Took a couple of minutes.
Yeah, Lets Encrypt rules, I used it for my personal site.
I was expecting the installation be a huge ball ache, but it was over right away
Not sure how good it is from a professional/technical viewpoint, but better than nothing surely.
Yeah, I did the same (did your hosting use Let's Encrypt or did you have to install it via the shell? I did the latter) except for like a year later the cron job I used for auto-renewals stopped and the certbot acted weird so my site fecked up and couldn't be accessed for ages while I was trying to sort it.
It was in the hosts cPanel, I just had to fill a few fields and it was done.
I didn't keep the site up for that long after, but it seemed to work fine while I had it on there.
Since the update a couple of days ago my phone seems to show smileys twice (above one another and slightly flashing), is it the update or my phone?
Happening to me as well - presumably a result of a Chrome for android update.

Why doesn't the thread about the new TV rights deal appear in the football section when the info bar at the top suggests that's where it is?
It’s showing as there for me?
Ignoring the thread starter?
Oh...lol
Is VorZakone not the thread starter then?

That’ll be it. Nope there’s someone else who started it.
Anyone else having problems with auto-completion in Android phones. It started a few weeks ago, and it makes writing in the phone painful, almost undoable.
It is the only website I have seen this happening, and while I am in PC (be it on Linux or Windows OS), everything seems to work.

Not sure about auto-completion but I remember it being very buggy on a post I tried to make this past weekend from my Android phone. I think for some reason characters were mixed up. Only have seen it on this website so far.
This is for the site admins rather than forum admins and has come about after recent discussions about privacy and anonimity.
Is there any reason why there is no SSL security certificate for the www site?
They’re quite inexpensive at about £25-£30 a year and even cheaper on multi-year deals. I’m sure enough people would donate to get one as everyone would benefit.
They’re pretty easy to install as well in most webhosts they can be done in a few clicks. Can advise if need be.

Using Swiftkey? Apparently loads of people are facing the same issues, the developers have messed something there.
It happens on Chrome rather than a RedCafe problem. I've downloaded SwiftKey beta and it's working fine for me now.
I am using the default keyboard and I am having problems only in Caf (although this is the only forum I use while in the phone). On other things that I use Chrome from, I am not having any problems.
Yeah I'm having the same issue. I now use Brave instead of Chrome when browsing the caf on my phone because using Chrome isn't an option while this problem persists.
HTTPS will happen in the not too distant future @Ultimate Grib. There are a number of technical hurdles to overcome to make it happen properly and it’s not top of my priority list right now.
It's a problem for Xenforo on Android following the latest Chrome update. There isn't a current fix for our version of Xenforo.
Personally I've downloaded Edge on my phone and I'm using that for the Café - obviously not ideal, but functional.
