Popular Post thewoodwhisperer Posted August 1, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) As you probably noticed, the forum has been updated. The new version is just an update to the old one and retains many of the old features. Things just look different so it might take some getting used to. I'm still getting to know the new setup myself so bear with me.If there's anything missing or if something isn't working as you expect it to, let me know and we can try to figure it out. Some things may be simple fixes and some may be outside of my control. Thanks folks.ps - Since I don't want to focus totally on the negatives here, there are a few cool positives I already noticed. Feel free to add to the list if you see something cool just to let folks know about it.Drag and drop image attachmentresponsive designMark site as Read link at the top rightWhen you click New Content at the top right, you can just hover over the new content to see previews of the actual posts.

ColinF Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 It's a lot better in mobile mode, I can actually use all the tools for the text and insert pics! I like it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'm digging the drag and drop pics. And as a professional web developer, a responsive site keeps me from screaming in anger at the phone. I'll call the doc and reduce my blood pressure meds right away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I have been on vacation and returned today to see that the forum has a different look. I haven't had a chance to check it all out but I am having one problem. I no longer can see the pictures the members post, even ones that I was able to see in the past. Also if a member post a link to something like a video on youtube I can't click on the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinF Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Ok, one nitpick, and its more an annoyance than critical, but in the mobile view, when you're reading posts with quotes, there's no separation from the quote and the reply.

..Kev Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) So, the mods have new tricks to learn as well.. I merged this topic so that Chet's issue was contained in this thread. Edited August 1, 2015 by TIODS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 So, the mods have new tricks to learn as well.. I merged this topic so that Chet's issue was contained in this thread.Just be careful how you merge. You pulled my post out of the general area and merged it with Chet's and it took on his title as well. I was very confused for a few minutes.

Looks ok on my iphone. Looks almost exactly like what I see on desktop, with the quote in a gray box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 It looks good and fresh on both a PC running Chrome and a Mac running Safari. I like it and no doubt will find plenty of new features in time. Interestingly the update showed me in the forums as my login name which was not my original display name. I went back in and edited my profile and I'm TerryMcK again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisG-Canada Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 How do we jump to the first unread message? That is my favourite feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatworks Today Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 So modern and fancy schmacy ;-). I dig it I did just notice that my user name has switched to my real name other than my traditional name. Maybe something I need to change on my profile? Will update if possible... Figured out how to change display name, now noticing that the tag line / quote thing is missing.. Don't really care, just mentioning it.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it happened to me as well Andy and showed me as my login name. Editing the screen name was easy enough though. The quote option is still there or at least reappeared.

Brendon_t Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'm super adverse to change and was really bummed when I saw there was a new format. After poking around for about 45 minutes, it seems just as easy to navigate and I'm already about used to it. I hope the image upload works better for me. Also glad the new content button showed up.. I almost had a fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strasberry Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Does anyone know what screen size this is designed for? I have to scroll over to get to the new content button on some pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'm not sure what the white up arrow on a green background is. When you click it a white down arrow on a red background appears. Is that the like button? If not I've not found a like button yet.Also the signature facility on the bottom of posts has disappeared too.

Eric. Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 It changed on its own during the update. That was my handle when I first signed up.I can't seem to find where to change my display name...is that no longer an option, Marc? Perhaps I'm just missing it...Edit...nevermind...found it.

Tpt life Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 How do we jump to the first unread message? That is my favourite feature.Touch the blue dot or star left of the thread title. Just don't do that in the forum headings. There that will remove the unread comment signifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Any idea if we are able to post bigger pics than 100kb with the update now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
