Now You've Had A Play - How's The Forum For You?

[Dan]

Now you've had some time to play around; how are you finding the forum?

 

[Jay Sparks]

I don't like the fact that when I open a thread, it always seems to go to the last post, rather than the first, or the one I haven't read yet. I keep having to scroll up. Other than that it looks OK so far. I do miss the big Yellow Notifications tab though, that was always exciting to see what likes/quotes had been done to your post.

The alerts system should show you your quotes and likes etc

 

[Dan]

And if you click on the time stamp, rather than the thread title, you'll go to the first post.

Everything seems to blend in to everything else. The old forum had a clear layout, may just be me but I find the new forum looks a little cluttered, and I don't think it's cluttered, but just gives the impression since it's not clear where one post ends and the next begins. I don't know, it's as if the forum has lost its identity a little bit.

 

[Dan]

If our identity was the old forum software, I'm glad we've lost it lol it was the clunkiest forum software going.

Hopefully you'll get used to it. The more regular members do tend to be the ones that less prefer the change but I've found once they've got used to it they do end up preferring it.

When attaching pictures to a post I can't see an option to upload from file, just to link a url. Is there an option to include this ?

 

[telectrix]

instead of insert image, go to bottom right of reply window and select upload a file. ( next to post reply).

 

[Andy78]

Dah ! thanks Tel, I was looking for it in the picture icon.

 

[Dan]

Yeah where you click post

It's ok for me. No complaints so far. I have lost my wonderful colour scheme I had on my profile though.....

Are yes I see now. That only works though when you go into the topic first. If I am on the front page and see the most recent thread in a topic, When I click on that, it takes me to the last post.

 

[Dan]

Click into the category then the time stamp.

 

[Dan]

When it takes you to a post half way down a thread or whatever, it'll be the first post you've not read. It remembers which posts you've already read and takes you to the first unread post.

It's better for me, just takes a bit of getting used to same as any changes. Was getting sick of the text editor playing up and the freezing at certain times. Much slicker. Daz

and I thought it was just my rubbish work comp that was doing that...

 

[Spoon]

So do we no longer get emails saying someone has added to a thread you are subscribed to?

 

[DPG]

Yes as long as you select that option when you use the 'watch thread' feature. Daz

I'd give you a 'Thanks' but I can't see it.
I was talking about this thread, where I have added to it but I don't get notifications that it's been added to.
