Beckys_Mom Posted April 28, 2012 #26 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) I had no idea there were going to be changes... I logged on just now and WOW.. what's going on? lol I don't have any real comments, all I can say, it will take a while to get used to... I liked the older UM format and lay out better... But in time I will get used to this new one ... Do not shoot me for being honest lol Edited April 28, 2012 by Beckys_Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramelin Posted April 28, 2012 #27 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) A couple of new remarks about the update: * The site loads like glue (but for me the site was already quite slow). And when I want to go to another forum here, I can make coffee and smoke a cig in the meantime before it loads, lol. * Is there a button that says "Last post"? EDIT: I see it now: it's where it says "Today..." * I had a link to a YouTube video in my signature. Before the update it showed as a link, but I noticed it was now fully visible as an embedded video. I have deleted it, btw. * After an edit, I end up at the first page of the thread. Like now. Well, sometimes it happens, sometimes not. . Edited April 28, 2012 by Abramelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonecoldvampzy Posted April 28, 2012 #28 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I noticed that in the "Users reading this topic" and "online users" section on the front page there are some weird names like Google,Yahoo,Facebook,Android etc. I'm not sure if it is a bug or not it just seems akward.

Raptor Posted April 28, 2012 #29 Share Posted April 28, 2012 If you run in to any errors or problems please do let me know, thank you.

+susieice Posted April 28, 2012 #31 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Update: The forum has now been upgraded however there are still quite a few things being worked on - the search system is currently down, the chat room is still to be done and there are quite a few bugs all over the place that need fixing. If you run in to any errors or problems please do let me know, thank you. Seem to have lost my watched topics but I guess they would be part of the search system.

Michelle Posted April 28, 2012 #33 Share Posted April 28, 2012 When I click on "view new content" it keeps showing "Sorry, no new content". So far, the only way I have been able to see what is being posted is to click on each individual forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted April 28, 2012 Author #34 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I noticed that in the "Users reading this topic" and "online users" section on the front page there are some weird names like Google,Yahoo,Facebook,Android etc. I'm not sure if it is a bug or not it just seems akward. This has been fixed, you shouldn't see those in the users list now. When I click on "view new content" it keeps showing "Sorry, no new content". So far, the only way I have been able to see what is being posted is to click on each individual forum. That's another feature that uses the search system - i'll be working on this next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphorbia Posted April 28, 2012 #35 Share Posted April 28, 2012 This has been fixed, you shouldn't see those in the users list now. That's another feature that uses the search system - i'll be working on this next. There used to be a section for new posts in the last 24 hours right next to "Today's top Posters". Is this now gone, or in a different place, or with a different name? I used that extensively! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Only Posted April 28, 2012 #36 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hmm, wondering if my picture is not updating in threads to my new picture I set today in edit profile is because work is still being done on the site. My profile shows one picture, but the posts show another. I must figure this out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booNyzarC Posted April 28, 2012 #37 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Same here - it is loading reeaaalllllyyyyyy slow for me. Cheers, Badeskov It is very slow for me as well. Hopefully that is just because of all the hard work Saru is putting in with the implementation. Overall the new look and feel is really good in my opinion.

Princess Serenity Posted April 28, 2012 #38 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Oh, I like this. I like how the upgraded forum looks. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted April 28, 2012 Author #39 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Update: The search feature and 'view new content' are now up and running again. There will be some speed issues while things are still being worked on but these should disappear once the bugs are ironed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badeskov Posted April 28, 2012 #40 Share Posted April 28, 2012 It is very slow for me as well. Hopefully that is just because of all the hard work Saru is putting in with the implementation. Overall the new look and feel is really good in my opinion. Agreed, it looks and feel very good and I presume that it is slow because they are still tinkering around to hash out the last details Cheers, Badeskov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramelin Posted April 28, 2012 #41 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Update: The search feature and 'view new content' are now up and running again. There will be some speed issues while things are still being worked out but these should disappear once the bugs are ironed out. I have the greatest respect for you guys and girls at the controls Tomorrow the host of my site has planned to perform an update. I am already sick in my stomach about that. Things will not work as they used to; people will get annoyed about the new features and about the ones that are lost. .

Abramelin Posted April 28, 2012 #45 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Just this: I have my own site, and I know an update to a new version of your platform always includes things changed or gone. I really am scared about what is going to happen tomorrow. . Edited April 28, 2012 by Abramelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted April 28, 2012 Author #46 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Update That's the profile photo thumbnails rebuilt now so that should be fixed for those experiencing issues with those. Also we'll be setting up the new chat room tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this now gone, or in a different place, or with a different name? I used that extensively! Are you thinking of the "View New Content" section ?

willowdreams Posted April 29, 2012 #48 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I am having problems with the mark communities as read.. used to be i would do the new post thing, go through all the stuff and read what I wanted.. then click the all read thing.. I have gone to bottom of page and clicked the 'mark communities read' and then clicked the 'mark all as read;, and figured that was it, and just to see.. i reclicked afterwards 'view new content', it was like, within seconds of marking all as read.. and low and behold five pages of new psts was there, and it should have been no new content (or some such like that), so i tried it again.. after the thrid time i gave up. am I missing something? is there something else I am to do that is different then before? I hate not being able to clear things out. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booNyzarC Posted April 29, 2012 #49 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Is the Report button fully functional? I reported a post with a rather graphic image earlier today and the image is still there. Was the image acceptable or did the report simply go unnoticed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted April 29, 2012 #50 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Getting used to the new format and I really do like it. I'm not having much trouble finding where things are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
