Thanks for the info ....

I was not aware of any Universal usage, so to be sure I did a second:eyes:to be sure.  Looks like we are unaffected by this change.

TBH I'm always wary of using google services as they have a track history of breaking changes and/or depreciation's and/or conversion to paid.  Just seems to generate extra work when I least need it LOL

Chit Chat / Google Analytics

Saw this, and wanted to share it, in case ElkArte uses Universal.

QuoteHello Google Analytics user,

On July 1, 2024, Google Analytics 4 properties will have fully replaced Universal Analytics properties, as previously announced. From that date, Google will begin turning off all Universal Analytics services and Universal Analytics APIs, which means Universal Analytics properties will be inaccessible through the Google Analytics front-end and APIs. If you haven’t completely migrated to Google Analytics 4 properties, follow the migration guide to start making the switch today.

Exporting your data
To maintain access to data from your Universal Analytics property, you should download or export your data now. If this isn’t done through one of the methods provided in the Google Analytics Help Center, your data will be permanently deleted by Google and won’t be recoverable. If you intend to use the BigQuery integration to export historical data from your Universal Analytics 360 property, we strongly recommend initiating this immediately.

Product integrations
Universal Analytics data and settings accessed or used through advertiser, publisher or other product integrations will be unavailable when services have stopped. For example:

Universal Analytics goals and ecommerce transactions will stop measuring new conversions, including within linked advertising accounts. This may affect ad campaign performance if those conversions are used in combination with Smart Bidding.

Universal Analytics audience lists will be closed, which may affect ad campaign media activation and performance.

API requests related to Universal Analytics properties will fail, including requests for deletion of Universal Analytics data through the User Deletion API. This also means that tools relying on an API, such as Looker Studio, will not show any Universal Analytics data.

BigQuery export and backfill of historical data from Universal Analytics 360 properties can only be requested up to and including June 30, 2024. Already exported data remains available in BigQuery.
Attribution Projects that were part of Attribution (beta) in Google Analytics will be deleted.


Sincerely,

The Google Analytics Team

Quote from: Spuds – First it now shows the preview above the hover point IF there is room, otherwise below.  This is opposite of what it was. Since most users work down the list, having the popup above does not block your access to the next list item to hover over.  Previously if you want to go to the next item you had to hover away to clear the hover in order to gain access to the next item.
Never noticed that, I just checked and works as you describe it.

Feature Discussion / Post Preview Improvements
Last post by Spuds -
I enabled post preview here, so when you are in a topic listing and hover (about 1 second) over the topic subject, you get a short preview.

We have had this since 1.0, so the changes are really behavioral/cosmetic.  Also this was one of the former Jquery functions redone in vanilla JS

First it now shows the preview above the hover point IF there is room, otherwise below.  This is opposite of what it was. Since most users work down the list, having the popup above does not block your access to the next list item to hover over.  Previously if you want to go to the next item you had to hover away to clear the hover in order to gain access to the next item.

Second, it used (well still does) cut the post after xx number of characters, but it also now has a max height on the hover preview with the same fade away that we use on long quotes.  The previous behavior was to always show xxx characters, which when you had an inline image or two it could become a very large popup.

Third  It now has a defined min-width so it provides a consistent view/layout.  Previously it was more like a tool-tip, where the width could be very short and kind of look odd.

Anyway check it out if you want :D

Another refresh ....  :cool:

Another batch of bug fixes such as
 - after you entered the wrong password and then entered the correct one you would get a session timed out error.
 - when sending a PM to multiple members, of which more than one had email notify and PBE was enabled .. error (after everything sent)
 - various other ones like the above, hard to find !

Removed the email user function.  This was a different from the share topic email that I previous removed.  This one, for member who had allow other to email me, opened a form and sent an email, and in some cases revealed the email.  Anyway this (and that option) have all been removed, the only members who can see or send an email (via mailto: action) are moderators with permission.  This cleaned up several areas (profile, member list, rss feeds, search, etc)

Add a drop-up option to some hidden menus.  For example the buttons on a topic display Quote | Quick Edit | Like | More the More button used to drop down which was often off screen.  Now it drops-up which IMO makes more sense since you are most often reading the post and there is room above then the button not below.

Lots of other little css and JS fixes (with more jquery removal) and other tweaks ....

Quote from: Spuds – I was thinking that if offline and they hit POST then it would show a message such as ......


"You are off line - click 'save as draft' then turn this off ...
....and go play!"


{sheesh, you thought I was making funny?} :rolling_eyes:

:stuck_out_tongue:

Quote from: ahrasis – So, if member is offline, keep it in PWA cache, but when he is back should it immediately be posted or prompt him whether he wants it to be posted or discard it?

No auto-post... but maybe a pending message flag.. invariably events will overcome the post in the meantime, the poster will think better of it, and go to edit/delete it only to discover that at some point while playing the connection was re-established and the (now outdated/unrevised) post was sent unknowingly..:face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
