That was so much fun... NOT

[DragonFire]

OK, I think I figured out the answers to my own questions:

 

1. The censoring software still works. f**k.

2. "View New Content" is the same as "View New Posts"

3. "Mark Board as Read" is in small print at the bottom.

 

Guess it pays to explore first, then ask questions.

View New Content isn't the same, because it doesn't give them in time preference. If you click it now for example, this thread won't be anywhere near the top. However, if you go to the main forum page, just above the active user list click "Today's active content", that does the same as View New Posts. All work in progress I guess, I'm quite happy to wait.

Actually, The "View New Content" is the content that is New to you. If you've already read it, it shouldn't show up in the list...

[Rabble_Rouser]

Thanks for all the work Myr... especially on the Friday of a long weekend! I think I like it much better and will just have to figure out where some stuff is.

 

Have a good long weekend!

Ahhh, I get it now; handy. Thanks.

And the "Today's active content" button will give you the latest postings regardless.....cool.

 

I don't envy you the barrage of questions coming your way, good luck with that!

See. I was right and you were wrong.

[Mark Arbour]

Does anyone know what this reputation thing is on the profile page? Oh, and the status tag as well?

 

It's an indicator of how slutty you are. Don't worry though, Galahad's got you beat.

[Dolores Esteban]

Looks great.

[pitchan]

Hah hah. New forum looks great. I was just going to ask about LiveChat, but good thing I read through the posts before posting first xD

[Phantom]

Bravo Myr! It was an amazing job to get all of this done in just one day (not even).

 

As for the bugs, you'll work them out and take your time. You've done so much already, that you do deserve a break!

 

Oh and... I promise not to break anything

 

 

Now what does this button do....

 

Edit to add: Found another bug... it won't update the about me picture I didn't do it!!!!

[blksantos]

The new layout looks really really good! One hell of a job you did Myr! Splendid indeed.

[Krista]

Woo, I didn't know how this was going to look after it was done, but I like it. Thanks Myr.

[Zeoanne]

I've seen the format before but gawd! do I have to take my time to get used to it! Perhaps sober would work..

[Nephylim]

I'm loiving the layout. Still new enough not to have got too used to the old one so this is not such a head full. Fun fun fun

 

Thanks for all the hard work... I know what a nightmare it can be

[Hoskins]

Reading this on my iPhone - just thought I'd mention that the mobile skin works just fine.

[Emulated]

Upgrading the forums was more fun that I can possible describe.

I'm still bug hunting, so you can expect to see a few.

Awesome work, Myr! It's looking good!

 

But if it's that much fun, perhaps you should let one of the other Admins have a go when 4.0 comes out!

[irangel]

amazing work Myr, bravo

you've given us more playground real estate

I just ended a year and a half upgrade to a web site, it was supposed to be a 6 month job...so I know the fun of which you speak...

take a break and enjoy the weekend,

 

your hard work is greatly appreciated

As before, you will find a small icon next to the topic title. Click it and it will take you to the first unread reply.

 

Um... no.

 

I'm talking about the 'view posts since your last visit' button, which has apparently mutated into 'view new content' (that shows all content in order of it's latest 'bump', not just new stuff).

 

Edit: OK, now that I've manually gone through and clicked every forum as 'visited' the view new content list shows... nothing, like it should. I just had to tell the forum 'yes, I've seen this stuff before' (or rather, i don't care about the stuff from 10 years ago )

[Hoskins]

Look waaay down at the bottom of the page, you will see "mark board as read" - that covers the whole enchilada.

[TalonRider]

This type thing happens when a forum software is updated. The new software doesn't know you've read everything. So you have to tell it.

[Aeroplane]

I like the changes. They look all modern and swish .

 

 

Good job!

[Rilbur]

But then I still have to go through, forum by forum, to find all the posts that occurred between update and now

meh. deal with it, whiner, at least you still have a forum to look at.. I have no chat! (pouts and stamps his foot in typical tantrum fashion)

Well, had not have...

 

and as far as chat goes, that's what God created telephones for!

I like it. not Sure I like the going to someone's name and send PM window that pops up, but that can easily be avoided by just clicking send new message. Did anyone else go through their inbox and notice you can't respond to any of the messages that were there from the old software?

 

Also, any chance of getting an archive old messages button back or did i completely miss where that is at?

 

Other than that, great job, and i'm not really complaining, honest

You can to some of the older ones, but myr did say this in a pinned topic (showed up in every subforum uptop) if the message is 6 months older it gets deleted or won't work . Archive button is gone but might get put on if the software people add it in the a update patch..
