fisherking Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) forum looks good! don't think it retained where i left off (in terms of threads read, etc), but... it's a clean, 'logical' new look. david, thanks for this! EDIT: and still in progress, i guess. some threads missing their content, and "?" icons over our avatars. looking forward to it all getting sorted out...

des99 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Indeed! Quite exciting refresh! David has been working hard..! Shall we use this thread as a snagging list for issues we come across? I'm sure many the PTB are aware of, but if it's useful to build a list to check off, happy to do so... Edited April 21, 2022 by des99 Grammar, innit?

David Nahmani Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Thanks! Unfortunately some things may be slightly off. And we've lost the more recent posts (around 24 hours worth) in the migration (I will not be able to retrieve those). I'm working to try to resolve as many of these issues as possible! Let's list things that are missing or may have gone wrong during the migration in this thread, yes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

des99 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) The edit window on posts seems super short - I was editing the above one for about a minute and it said I could no longer save the post... (Hence this second one - it was a work of art - see below!) -- BB code seems to not be rendered at the moment (so the old formatting, quotes etc) are all a bit messy...

The user "Ranking" images on the avatars are broken here. If we could customise these, would be nice to have some Logic/music themed ones, at some point (not exactly a critical issue at this time, of course! ) Edited April 22, 2022 by des99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) In the main top level index, when I click on my top topic here ("PA/brainworx" etc), I get a "no permissions" message. If I navigate to the forum and then to the thread, I can view it as expected. Edited April 22, 2022 by des99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzfilth Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Somehow the software has missed to update Atlas007's picture, it's still 50+ years old. David ? Edited April 22, 2022 by fuzzfilth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I'm finding selective quoting really hard to do with this new posting interface. When you quote a post, it inserts the whole post as an item, and previously, you could just edit to quote just a few lines, make a reply to that, quote a few more lines, reply to that etc. It seems to do this now you have to quote the whole post, remove all but the lines you want to quote, write a reply, then quote the whole post again, delete down to the next few lines, reply, quote the whole post again etc... It could be me just missing some obvious stuff, of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No veteran love. To be honest I don't believe there's a way for the software to go back in history and retroactively evalueate all the different history steps for each rank.

Tried again and it works as you say - thanks! Is it possible to get a thumb up reaction on posts - a heart has a slightly different connotation ("I love this!") versus a thumb up ("I agree", or "Nice!") etc... Yes, BBcode is good, along with many other improvements, fixed images etc. Doing a great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozinga Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hey David, Great new look!Thank you! You could make it thumbs up icon only and make the heart another emoji in the options. It is like this in Vi-Control and it looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
