[Closed] Forum Update

SaxonRider spake thusly.......I don’t know what you lot are complaining about with respect to the green, though. Aren’t greens and browns what mountain biking is all about?

If you look at this image and see the number 21 or, like I do, no number at all, then you'd understand.

if you see the number 74 instead then you probably don't give a shit

Why can I only go to the last but one page? The last page would make sense.

Also that message modified thing is a bit over the top. The red version of it has a swastika in the middle.

Android Chrome if that helps.

New Different, Fear change, make it stop etc etc...

I like the way the SIngletrack logo now disappears as I scroll down on my laptop, helps with work based STWing.

My shortcut on my mobile is to the login screen, this login no longer works to link though to the forum

Looking good on androooid 

Assume you'all know the "report post" funkchon is missing..

Looking like tonights the night to get FUNKY!

First time I've successfully inserted an image!

What does the favorite button up there do?

No idea.

Have you pressed it?

🙂

What does the favorite button up there do?

I'd imagine the same thing it has done for ages

There was one before? I never noticed that.

I still don't know what it does.  I pressed it but none the wiser.

Trying something...

Is the total post count quite on the money?

8,230,510,989,358

EDIT: Wait, it's some quirky formatting of the topics/post on the mobile 🙂

Ooh, I can see a fun game to play......

Forum RSS feeds appear to be busted, but that's an upholstery job not the oily bits. Productivity has gone up around the country today.

I see we've all been outed as subscribers (those of us with a P). There's some filtering à la Handmaids Tale coming!

The Engagements thing under Username->Forums seems like a poor replacement for the old Forum Activity page.

I only want to see the threads I've contributed to recently (ideally a single mouse click away from the main forum), but Engagements seems to list every thread and then just highlight ones I care about.

I do like the new WISYWIG post editor though. Good job!

Experiment Number Two.

Well, that didn't work. Let's try something else instead.

*Waves at aracer! Hello, player...*

Boooo !

Tags denied !

Experiment Number Two.

Your experiments are well boring

That's not a very nice thing to say.

How many wells have you actually bored?

Vote up and down button?

TAG's are allowed? But over write each other?

Que?

That’s not a very nice thing to say.

Drac and Cougar must be wondering why their inboxes are so quiet...

Has anyone tried the swear filter yet?

****

where is this green bit everyone is seeing??

I have absolutely no idea of the work that it takes to make a website or replace the forum, but it all seems to be working well, and nice big print for the older readers.

well done to all the techy nerds. and the one who makes all the tea while theyre doin their job

Are we in Americaland?

Favorite?

There's something very wrong over on the classifieds!

summary page shows posted x mins ago... but the posts are ad-hoc some from days ago, some from hours ago, some don't exist etc....

Wow.  Ok well I love new stuff so cool, and thanks.  But a couple of things:

Dotted lines are awful imo - above the 'posted 2 mins ago' and under the poster's name.  Really jarring for the eye.

Also, I'd get rid of the avatar thumbnail in the 'this post was modified by' bit.  Looks awful and messes up formatting.

Wow. Ok well I love new stuff so cool, and thanks.

I still don't get it - what's wonderful and new?

Love the look of the forum on the iPad Mini. Hate the green though. Not dark enough for my eyes.

The fact that's it's new, and someone's put effort in to improving something.  That's good.

Submit button is too far away though - please put it just under the text box.  And the lines.. ergh.. so many lines.

Yep. Agreed.

Reports are coming in that the NHS WALES entire IT infrastructure has failed and and also Greater manchester Hospitals is failing or failed as we speak

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-42803118 Singletrack has more readers than capacity of the nhs it appears.

Good improvements, but I do find the new type size hard to read! Why no zoom on phone?

My classified add did not work.  It did not like embedded images or text 😄

Actually displays like a real forum on mobile now!

It’s always good to update, thanks for all the hard work we don’t see.

Can "Member Only Scum" edit their posts?

Appears so. Still a time limit.

How hard is it now to post an image when on a mobile

Very

I don't want to be "one of them" … but some teeny tiny fonts have been replaced at last … "yey" … some with even smaller ones … "boo" … … and some text is now low contrast green on grey … "boo" … but the font in the compose text area is much more readable … "yey" … so much easier to compose posts at least … "yey" …

Also rather confused about the 'engagements' page, as it lists loads of threads I haven't posted on or even read.

Yowzers!

Giant "edited by" avatar on iPhone (but not iPad).

Hehe - some people are a little impatient 🙂

I cannot get to my profile from the menu as Safari says too many redirects occurred.

but I can if I click on my name on a post.

Interestingly, the list of threads is MUCH more readable and usable on the iPhone than before the update, but now poor on the iPad, where it was fine before. Different people working on phone and tablet layout? Or A:B testing ideas on us?

Turn the phone 90 degrees 😉

I've just tried to post a for sale in the classifieds.

The posting an image has now become very complex due to more options. I also can't see the content of my post. All I get when I click on the subject from the classified index is the title and a reply box.

???????

I just tried logging out and then viewed my posts. Both of them return a coffee cup and "thread cannot be found". But they are both there in the listings?????

^^ you can swear in the modified reason box! Mods - was only testing 😀

and i cant edit it out. Oops 😛

Lolz 🙂

We'll fix that tomorrow

Liking what I’m seeing so far, but the green, I’m afraid, just doesn’t work. On my 10.5” iPad full-screen it’s very difficult to read without reading glasses.
A darker shade of green would probably make a big difference.
But otherwise, apart from the fine details the update looks very promising.
Thanks for the hard work.

The edit your post window is much smaller (time wise) i was hoping to delete that image above as i chose a large file to test (10mb plus). 9 minutes is too late to edit?

Kelvin,

You've not read my first post have you 🙂

For everyone's benefit then..

Today we launched an updated forum built on a updated version of BBpress.Today was all about getting it stable. Today was not about fixing things like font sizes, colours or avatars being huuuge. That's for when we've got the engine running smoothly.

It's going to take a few days to get everything settled.

..and then the big changes can happen 🙂

Is everyone getting massive blurry images after each post?

Text box disappearing off the RH side of the screen on mobile (portrait) is annoying, previous version sized to screen correctly

Shoving a silly oversized avatar on the bottom of an edited post is also pointless and a bit annoying, otherwise it still looks like any other forum...

Haven't looked at it on a PC yet...

Is everyone getting massive blurry images after each post?

Only if the post has been edited.

I'm just posting so I can edit my post and provide you with a picture of delicious beer.

There does seem to be a posting issue in classifieds. All the new posts have DB typed URLs not nicely rewritten ones.

Where did the post image box come from? I've got no post editing/styling tools currently.

So it wasn’t an elaborate troll after all

There's no time limit on reposting (no "you go too fast" message).

No option to post photos!

No option to post photos!

There most certainly is

I've done two replies that haven't posted; no error message or anything either. 🙁

How do you post pictures then?

Won't let me do it how I used to.

How did you fix the quote in the box?

All a bit of a shambles so far 🙁

Test image...

Stu - use the icom on the right (with the two mountains and the sun) to insert an image. Worked for me ^^

Aaaar what am I doing wrong?

Anyone give me an idiots guide please?

Stu - are you on a PC or a mobile? I posted from a Win 10 PC w/Firefox.
