New Software - Report Error Thread

[smdub]

Looks to be there is a new limit of 3 links in the signature. I had linked all the organizations on the old board. If no longer appropriate, I can figure out which 3 are the best (goodbye NRA! )

Edit: Its still working as it was imported over from the old forum. But I can't delete the [sigpic*] fields to clean it up and resave.

I have nearly a decade in software development experience. If you need emergency assistance with the website, feel free to message me questions.

Had the same problem. It didn't transfer the picture in my signature. Click on your name in the top right, select signature and edit it. Took me a couple of tries to get it right though.

Seems that some pics may not be displaying?

This thread seems as if it would have pictures, and one of the replies indicates there had been pictures, but none are visible to me? (Posts are all text only)

Just got back from an ophthalmologist visit, my eyes are all dilated and everything's all sparkly and blurry. Is there something new going on here?

 

[cantstop]

we will be running a find/replace for old BBCodes to new ones later this evening. youtube embeds are one of those tags that will be fixed.

Thanks

Excellent! Thank you.

Thank you to whomsoever worked hard to make the site changes.

I am a very 50’s kinda guy.
Seems way too complicated for me.

The original configuration was beautifully simple.

Search doesn't seem to work. Typed "Ukraine" and checked "search titles only", and nothing showed up

It was deeply broken, for years, and we had it on life support forever.

The search stuff didn't work, the duplicate posts, the classifieds, the lack of effective mobile integration, the clunkiness of media integration.

As discussed above - I think this will sort out as things index (I'm sort of making that up, but I'm seeing similar things starting to smooth out as time goes on and people are using stuff),

At least the search physically works on mobile devices now. Before it wouldn't even load.

Give it time,

Where do we go to see and manage all the old files attachments we had uploaded in the past? Is that still a feature in this new version?

 

[jc1240]

Is there an easy way to differentiate threads with new posts vs old in a given forum list? They look the same to me. The old forum would bold the thread titles with new posts).

Probably owing to when older content was ported over in advance of Sunday’s shuffle, I note that all markers for what are “new” posts for me are a days/weeks out of date.

I can fix this myself by visiting all threads and heading to the last page, but noting it because it might be worth noting

That's related to when the database was first pulled over to the new platform. We had a preview at the end of March and had a chance to start playing around with it. Since that's when it was pulled, it will think that it's new to you because it's the first time you've had a chance to see stuff in the new container.

It's already smoothing out a ton for me because I've been on for most of the morning,

Also noting that a thread with a new post is floating to the top of the “new posts” list even if the only new post is my own.

 

[Mr H]

Thankful that "ignore" now means ignore!

Also good to discover that clicking the timestamp for the latest post takes you to the last post in the thread.

 

[Antarctica]

Not an error, but an ask/suggestion. Put a "Mark all read" button in the forums section. I eventually found it in the "forums" button, but I use it constantly to make browsing simpler on each list... Currently its a two step process...

Can anyone tell me how to do the following, on my phone:

From the "new posts" topic listings, jump directly to my first unread post in a long thread?

There's this at the top of each thread:

BUT - one of the things that this software does is that if you have a thread with new posts and click on the thread title, it will take you to the new posts automatically, unless there's a setting I'm not seeing.

It does take a while for it to kick in after you've started interacting with the new platform. It takes a little while for it to "learn" you from what I'm seeing.

I had your issue when first using the update, and it's smoothed out immensely this morning.

Thanks Norton.

I saw the button, just hoped it would go straight there, like you described.

Thanks for keeping this place going, and being patient with us!
