Is This an LD Glitch or Permanent Change?

Ask a Question

Some time ago the 3 dots disappeared from view on the competition pages. It wasn't a problem as LD explained that they would appear if you hovered over them, all good.

However now no amount of hovering will make them appear and I keep accidentally reporting comps without meaning to and for no reason and no report form popping up.

Anyway, I was used to being able to go through each one and 'mark as entered' very quickly but now I have to click to enter each individual competition to get the 3 dots. Takes longer and bit of a nuisance, can Tom or a mentor please say if this is a permanent change or a glitch and would appreciate anyone else saying if they have noticed this?

I’ve noticed that the 3 dots are no longer in the top right side of a deal to report expired.

I do still have the dots myself on the android app, I imagine a glitch or an update with a bug.

Hey 🙂

Sorry about this, we'll look to see if we can get these back!

Safari on iPhone's recently made an update to how their browser handles "hover" events. In short, it meant you had to double tap into a deal for it to work properly, rather than only tapping it once. This isn't very intuitive and left people thinking tapping on the deals wasn't working.

As a temporary workaround we've disabled the "hover" effect on devices without a mouse. This isn't a perfect solution and we're thinking about how else we can solve this. In the meantime, you can still go into a deal where the three dots will be visible 👍

Kelsey thanks everso for the explanation. I must admit I am mainly here for the comps so will carry on as I have been doing until a fix. I am on a kindle fire but will try on my main pc soon.

Thank you. I can now go into the competition and save or delete it with the three dots 👍

In the spirit of Christmas I am going to fess up and tell you that the lack of dots is causing me problems. I keep clicking and hovering as I am so used to doing it and although nothing appears I get a msg saying ok we'll look into it. I have loads of plus and minus 5 points but hopefully not affecting members, just more work for staff!

I will try to break the habit!!!
