KSJets Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 One other thing I noticed. It's hard to distinguish who is a user and who is a mod. Before, the mods' names were always in bold. Maybe increase the font and change the color to red to distinguish who is a mod? Since Max is the owner, I nominate his color be pink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I saw a few bumps in here....we are going to get the bulk of the issues sorted out over the weekend. Trust me when I say that we will review each piece of feedback and everything we can do we will. If we can't we will communicate that to you as well. Thanks!

Klecko73isGod Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 What about those poor souls who can't even access their regular login? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm? Just because some less than intelligent souls can't remember how to spell either their username or password is hardly the management's fault.

Bleedin Green Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Just because some less than intelligent souls can't remember how to spell either their username or password is hardly the management's fault. Or perhaps the fact that this board software doesn't seem to allow for the same format of usernames as the old software (e.g., not recognizing login names with an apostrophe in them) isn't the fault of anyone, but is still a freakin' problem. Douche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECURB Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Just because some less than intelligent souls can't remember how to spell either their username or password is hardly the management's fault. Max can we get the "Unread" or "Todays Posts" whatever it is called on this board in the top navigation somewhere? It is really annoying having to scroll to the bottom of the page and only on the main /forum I liked clicking that right up top right from a thread.

KSJets Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 It's under their group name. Well next to it. Besides we are all people. lol Some weren't showing for me. I think I saw faba's group in there, but not Max's. It may be a setting in their profile that they need to set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hey Max, Can I set up the forum to read most recent posts first like I could on the old board? Next to the search bar there is a View New Content link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 Haven't tried IE, but Firefox has been perfectly fine for me as well. Only issue I've had is I can't login to my real account. I PMed Max, but he's ignoring me. I guess he doesn't love me. I do love you. Calls are being answered in the order received. Hope to get to you soon.

Maxman Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 Is there a way to block certain user sigs but not all? I would love that feature! No that doesn't exist. And it would add another custom query (i.e. server load). So we wouldn't be able to do it anyway with our volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I applaud your efforts, Max, and all the work you've done on this board. I prefer the standard board view of before, but this is the present and future so it's either adapt or die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I do love you. Calls are being answered in the order received. Hope to get to you soon. Aw thanks. I just think queries should be addressed in order of importance. And clearly I'm most important, in case that wasn't clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBacker Prime Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I liked how in the other version, bolded thread titles were unread and regular text meant it was read. It's a little confusing now that its been live for a while now, all the threads are getting harder to keep track of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBacker Prime Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Also in the comments section, where it pops up and says a new conversation has started. There is no reply button. Also the warning just takes me to the commenter's profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war ensemble Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Why cant I see a 'edit' tab on my 'older' posts anymore??? How do I go back in and edit???? That is in place so people don't abuse the edit feature. You can edit your post if you realized a mistake or something, but only for a limited time until the ability goes away. Granted, no one abused this on the old forum (AFAIK) so I wish we just had perma-edit, but what can you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Notification: Top Right hand corner. When people send you personal messages (they are now called conversations) a notification appears. You also get a notification when somebody quotes a post of yours. I think that feature is excellent. this IS cool, I tend to be a drive by poster, and forget about threads after about a minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hate it With two words of feedback it is hard to know the specifics. We have a long list of things to work on so if you can give any feedback we can look at it. If it is just the colors or that we are no longer on vb, that isn't anything we can change at this point. My preference would have been to stay on vbulletin for ever. I didn't have a burning desire to give up all that time on the conversion. Once vb sold the company, it was forever ruined. People are beginning to leave vb in droves, the new product they put out is unstable and causes problems for very large boards like this. We really had no choice but to switch since our goal was to keep moving forward. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one that I thought vb (all boards actually) should have had years ago. The conversations are greatly improved imo with that feature alone. Especially for drive-by posters like you alluded to.

The only thing I miss is the 1 click of the User CP and you have all your undread threads in bold, and read ones in standard. That is it- Otherwise, I love it.
