Forum Upgrade - Any Issues?

[aczlan]

Can some kind of divider be put in just above the signature block? Other than the whitespace there is no way to tell what is part of the post and what is part of the signature.
IIRC, there used to be a " ____________" to separate the two.

I scanned all 15 pages and didn't see an answer as to the problems with the participated tab in the iPhone/iPad app. Will this be addressed? I have not looked at the TBN forum on anything other than a iPhone or iPad in so long I doubt I would notice changes. But I sure miss the participated tab in the app working correctly.

I'm not sure why that would have changed, but I will be looking into/addressing app-related questions later in the week.

Thank you. The TBN is great.

Lower reply to thread button still not working.

Is it possible to darken the yellow on the topic list page? What has been done is a good improvement, but a shade darker might be better. It would help differentiate between read and unread a bit more.

And the default to first new post? Is that going to happen?

So far the improvements have been great! Particularly with regard to in thread font and background colour.

Reply button fixed.

The yellow we used is the same that we had on the old forum...

The default to first post has also been implemented.

Adding my thanks for the hard work you are putting into this. It already looks far more user friendly and sure works better.

I can't figure out how to search for posts I contributed to. When I searched for my name in the old search it would find them sorted out with newest on top. Also the search doen't count pages correctly. In example it says there are 25 pages but when 25 is entered to Goto dialog it gives errom mesage. if in ex. 21 is entered it goes to page 21 because there are only 21 pages.

Go to your profile, then click "find recent posts" ... it will return all of your posts. Find started threads will show just the threads you started.

:thumbsup::thumbsup: I like the default settings now:thumbsup:

And in general, it is starting to look much more familiar to us.

I like the yellow, and the downsized "envelopes":thumbsup:

You guys are doing a great job:thumbsup:

The quick navigation doesn't work for me the way the old one did. If I was looking at a thread under one of the orums it was much quicker to just click on that to get back to the forum to look at different threads. Now it just takes me to the top of the thread I'm on. Or if I click on the section that lists all of the forums it opens a drop down menu but each time it starts at the top and I have to scroll through to the forum I want. Before the menu would start where I currently am and I could go up or down from there. That was much faster because I could just keep working my way up or down depending on which forum I started in.

I hope I explained this correctly.


I have already noticed some very positive changes since this new format went live. Thanks for making positve changes.

Changed back to Verdana for post content. Better?

Things seems to be much better today -- . I like the font now as its much easier to read. Quoting eveeryone else, thanks for your hard work! :thumbsup:

Question though- With all the toolbars available in the reply box, would it look nicer if it was condensed to 2 lines instead of 3 ?

 

[MossflowerWoods]

What is the difference between "today's posts" and "new posts"?

Looking MUCH BETTER.

Thank you for all hard word and for listening to our @#$%ing...

You are awesome!

I've begun to notice that there doesn't seem to be much consistency in the way links are handled. Sometimes they're underlined, sometimes they're not. Obviously there are cases where links can't be underlined for aesthetic reasons (buttons for example), but others should probably be underlined, or at the very least be underlined during a mouse hover event.

What is the difference between "today's posts" and "new posts"?

I was wondering the same thing...

 

[mguitas]

Are you checking the "Remember me" box before you click on the login button?

Aaron Z

Thanks for telling me that, about the remember box. I hope Blueriver got that.:thumbsup:

 

[kiotiken]

This is really starting to come together nicely. I really appreciate the default taking you back to the first unread message and the look and feel is a lot crisper, cleaner and easier on the eyes today. Good work, thanks.

I haven't read any of this looong thread but it looks like most issues have been sorted out. It's looking good.
I do have 1 issue to mention.
Even before the change when I click on any menu item on the main page it drops down BEHIND the Mahindra video ad or behind the top left ad (Wallenstein or Surplus Center) instead of OVER them. I thought it was because I use Chrome but it also does it in IE. And does it at home and at work.
