Don't let them get you down Greg, we appreciate the hard work you. Unfortunately it is human nature to complain about change. Give it a few weeks to settle down and as we get familiar with the updated system I expect the comfort factor to improve.
The_Squid Posted October 10, 2016 Report Posted October 10, 2016 Still sucks. The status updates are much worse. the look and feel of the site is terrible.

I had no choice but to upgrade, so lets all stop complaining. If no one else has done it yet I thank you for the time and effort you've put into the upgrade. I have some quibbles with this or that and how it's working but I appreciate the work involved. I think people just get used to a particular format, a particular style, become familiar with how something works, and then get annoyed at having to relearn things. It's a fairly normal human failing. "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
cybercoma Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Posted October 10, 2016 The upgrade is infinitely better on my tablet and phone. I've not used it on my computer yet.

I've done it a number of times and the quoted text doesn't seem to look like italics. It generally works for me, but I just tried in the status updates and it didn't. The WYSIWYG editor is new for the status updates, perhaps there are different editors.
GostHacked Posted October 10, 2016 Report Posted October 10, 2016 I'd like the option to turn off ALL notification. Can that be done?

As I said, sites and the software used to build sites are gearing it towards tablets and phones more and more. On the PC it looks ok, but I had to shrink the text. Personally I don't like the looks of a lot of sites because of the tablet look, CNN's site and ABC news are perfect examples of the new looks and they look terrible and function even worse ..
Guest Posted October 10, 2016 Report Posted October 10, 2016 I'd like to turn off the popup on the desktop option. How is that done?

Moonlight Graham Posted October 10, 2016 Report Posted October 10, 2016 I'm going to have to post a bit more before I decide how much I like the upgrade so far. But the first thing I notice is the status updates are obviously much more cumbersome. I also miss the latest created threads being shown on the right-hand side, that was a great little feature.

One change that I would like made, if possible, is to restore the option in the email notice of a post to go to the last nuread post. Also, make filtering of new topics in email easier. Other than that I feel your pain. Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

The_Squid Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 The forum used to show new topics.... is that no longer an option?

dialamah Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Why is there no option to cancel a post before submitting? I used to use that one a lot.

I've added a cancel button, which will close the reply form when selected - however, the autosave feature keeps whatever text you previously placed in the reply form. So if you return and select reply, the copy will still be available. Have any issues, problems using the forum? Post a message in the Support and Questions section of the forums.
The_Squid Posted October 16, 2016 Report Posted October 16, 2016 The chat screen sucks. It takes up very little of the actual screen. Is there a way to expand it? It might be 7 or 8 lines.... it should take up much more of the screen.
WestCoastRunner Posted October 16, 2016 Report Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) I still find it a pain that I have to scroll down for the latest post on my phone. There must be a way to adjust that? I never used to have to do that. I was always presented with the last post every time. When an upgrade happens it shouldn't negate user experience.
