We'll be posting updates here. There will be things that need tweaking and fixing and general snags. I'll keep you updated on the ones we know and are dealing with.
Known at launch: The likes (Thumbs up) is not working as it should. When you click it, it seems as if nothing has happened. But it has, If you refresh the page you will see your thumbs up has been registeted. Otherwise it takes up to 20 seconds for it to show. That will be fixed so that it is an instant reaction.
You may find that your first posts need to be approved by moderators. That's kind of the default situation for the forum and once we've clicked the tick we see next to your post you are all set for future posts.
Reminder: Site performance will likeley not speed up until we have completed the full historical import of the old forum. That could take several days.
Do you want issues highlighted here?
I notice that usernames don't necessarily match with what the old forum was displaying. e.g. I suspect the old forum just displayed Mark for you, and mine never showed "I should know better".
yes. Please post observations/glitches here.
thanks
Maybe just me but im struggling with the blue? thread title on dark background on mobile.
When disable dark mode every 2nd thread is still in dark mode
Well done! Up a lot quicker than expected - I braced for a full day of downtime! 😀
How do we quickly jump to the last post of a thread - can't see an obvious way?

TBF Mark did say that Dark Mode was very dark, but yeah, the blue text is a bit difficult to read. Minor tweak once stuff has settled in I reckon.
Ok, so that's another glitch. My quote of bruneeps post and my subsequent response basically aren't readable for me. I'm guessing it's a Dark Mode/Light Mode thing though.
Photos?
Edit: tried a photo upload but it didn't work. Sensible to have that disabled at first though I guess.
Every other answer in a thread is dark, so grey background with blue writing
However the 'white' reply has white lettering on a white background.....
Looks nice. great work Mark & team.
Only noticed one oddity so far: when I first connected I got an authentication prompt - as if windows authentication was enabled. I clicked cancel and it went away and hasn't come back. Tested in an incognito window and it didn't appear there either.
Thanks for the support there. It's a stressful process.
Some users may have some awful issues with lightmode and dark mode. We are aware of the issue. It's related to some users having the dark mode setting switched on in their profile settings. We are going to remove that control as it's confusing to everyone and everything. Dark mode/light mode will be controlled by you in your browser settings. If anyone is experiencing that issue (light text on white background type stuff) then go tou your preferences and untick the dark mode box.
Alot of these display issues maybe because of the dark mode setting in accounts please deactivate that setting in your Singletrack account to see how it looks, we unfortunately will be removing this setting very soon due to these issues
Posting just get to moderator approval! I'll wait to critique but could do wth a button to get back to the overview forum at the bottom of the page. Don't like how it says Adam at the moment rather than ads678, I know that'll change though.
Great work!
Contrast is a bit dodgy in places. Maybe the devs should install a Contrast Checking Extension like this one for Chrome to keep open while they're working on the colours.
All in all, liking the new look and functionality (IT AUTOMATICALLY JUMPS TO THE NEWEST UNREAD POST!!!! WOO!!!).
Would be nice to have a link to the overview page at the bottom of a thread, rather than having to scroll up or click back to get to it..
Well this is new and different, and therefore I'm scared of it...
... otherwise great!
seems like if you quote some one using the buttons at the top of the text entry box. you cannot then comment on the quoted subject.
Chrome on windows 11 if it matters
The Navigation buttons at the top that go Home>Forum>Threat title etc are absolutely tiny.
Can't read in non dark mode now 😀
Excellent news. Great job Team Singletrack.
I assume that there's loads of tweaks already in the pipeline but here's a small suggestion: start the dark/light colour background sequence of the posts with the dark colour to help signify where the start of the thread is. It currently is the same background as the title/thread stats bit so it blends in.
I for one really appreciate all the work that is going on behind the scenes. STW is a really imoprtant resource for me and it's great to see it improving.
Looks like there are threads missing, eg the Donald! Trump! one. I assume it's just a case of data being transferred to the new format?
I'm picturing the poor old intern frantically typing away to transfer 700 pages of that thread to the new forum.
(IT AUTOMATICALLY JUMPS TO THE NEWEST UNREAD POST!!!! WOO!!!).
Hmmm - not doing that for me. Just taking me to the first post in a thread.
EDIT - yes it is! It's taking me to the last post of threads I've read - first post of threads I've not read! 😀

So no dark mode just light mode or will it be dark by default? I disabled dark mode and I couldn't read anything in light mode.
On a Mac with Safari, it's only going across about 3/4 of the window, justified fully left, with blank space on the RHS.
There's also a strange 'P' in the bottom left corner of this text box as I type. Pressing it highlights my last para of text...

I've not activated the Forum RH column yet. That will fill the space over there that is currently empty
I'm not sure you've imported the Locked/Unlocked status of threads. Some previously locked threads seem open again.
Your forum history is now a tab in your profile.
I can't post a comment in the creatine thread, so I guess the locked function is working again, but nothing to indicate it is locked.
and to agree with someone above, I don't like that every thread I haven't visited is marked as new, unless that's just because they are all newly imported and will sort itself out in time.
Jut minor grumbles though, all good otherwise.
@bruneep head to your preferences and make sure this box is not ticked. That's a temporary fix. The light/dark mode issues will go away soon.
oh, and I am happy to be seen now as MonkeySpacePilot instead of MSP, please don't change me back.

lovely, really missed that. great work everyone.
just on the " You are not allowed to attach files on this forum. It is possible that you have not reached the minimum required number of posts, or your user group does not have permission to attach files in this forum" message at the bottom of the text box. is that true? i could try it i spose but didnt want to clog the forum up at this early stage.
The furniture has moved in my favourite forum. Just need to get my spot sorted again.

looks like my question has answered itself. now that ive passed moderation, i dont get that message.
Have we lost the clickable forum list bar at the bottom?
Overview - bike - chat...etc, etc?
Dark text on a dark background and light text on a light background... Poor move.
Check some of our previous posts above re: dark mode in your user preferences

Yea, obviously going to the text box and hitting enter first then quoting is a workaround. But otherwise you have to quote, copy the quote, delete it. Create a space, quote it, then type your reply.

@mark think I’d class this as “GDPR violation” rather than “glitch”, some peoples’ full names (including surname) are showing instead of usernames.
What is displaying is what users have entered into their profiles in the 'Nickname' box. It will display usernames shortly
I have, it's still terrible. Id post a pic but I can't.
Site also doesn't dynamically fit to my screen.

Will the direct jump to the last page of a long thread return? I now have to open the thread on page 1 then select the last page rather than just tapping the >> on the forum thread list. Clicks are good I guess? But I preferred the efficient route to the latest posts on longer threads. Is it 50 replies per page?
I work in IT and just want to say “good job”. Live migrations are difficult and stressful and the fact the site is up and operating well after just a short downtime is impressive. I’m sure the few niggles will be fixed in due course. Well done.
If I have read the last post in a thread, if I click on the thread again it takes me to the last post, but if someone makes a new post when I click on the thread it takes me to the first post.
I don't think I'm a fan of the long list of viewers at the bottom of the thread either 🤔
It might make me/others feel insecure knowing who's read the thread but hasn't replied? Validation and rejection comes into play and whilst I might be able to handle both on occasions it is information that I haven't needed for the past 20+ years.
Can I turn my visibility off?

Same here - it was jumping to last post but that seems random now. Selecting the last page from a dropdown will quickly become tiresome.
How's the image upload for members? Here's a pic of my feet taken earlier.
Thought only us 502 members got access to the feet pics?
No longer works for me in Safari in OSX. Admittedly, I am still on 10.14, but it worked fine before.

Agreed, too much clutter and a bit odd
Hmm, it appears my username has borked itself.
Assume I'm thick as shit - I can't get to the latest post on the big threads like Gaza or the football one?
This thread brings me back to my last post on it, pre update threads I just go to the first post?
I take it back, seems to work now, sorry.
Phew, for a minute there I thought I was going to have to do some work instead of wasting time here...
For a while I couldn't see any topics whilst logged in (fine when not) but it seems to be working now.
are there no 'stickies'?, as in old stickies, not this one, which is apparently a sticky.
Spellcheck in my last post corrected my spelling but the corrections didn’t make it to the published post.
Missing the PSA deals sticky post on the top of the forums, that is a great thread. Albeit it has cost me alot of money over the past few months 😀
Got to repeat - the dark blue on black is really unappealing. Disabled dark mode as suggested but then the list of topics + replies alternates between white and dark, so I still have an issue reading half the post titles. Also, in white mode, the text is white on white for me, so I can't even read the other half.
Priority fixes we are dealing with.
Usernames and not Nick Names in topics
Dark/Light mode conflicts with user preferences.
Another observation (sorry!)... 😬
The opening post of a thread seems to be at the top of every one of the following pages.
Can that be turned off? Some threads are so long and so old the opening post of many long threads no longer has any relevance! 🙂
Oh an reducing the image upload file size limit to 5mb rather than the 2gb it was at 🙂
This thread is stickied to the bike forum. It should probably be what would be "super sticky" in old money.
Nice work all.
My lads racing thread seems to have disappeared. If i search for weeksy08 i get 2 threads, neither of which are that one.
For the Like thing it seems like you need to hover over the thumb, then it pops up, then you need to move up slightly and click it? Is that correct? (I'm not talking about the delay before it appears, just the mechanics. It seems not as nice as the quick click on the icon in STWV2)
The "jump to newest unread post" functionality only seems to work for threads with one page. Can that go on the list please 🙂
