Forum Software upgrade

[hornet]

Hi Guys

I suppose there was some reason to change the format of the forums however I am a bit lost now.

I used to use the "new post since last visit " button to catch up on topics I wanted to read. I cant find it anymore and am lost wandering around the forums.

Is the button there somewhere or can it be re installed.

Cheers :dontknow

Everything seems to revolve around the drop down menu "quick links" in the top left corner, and "portal" top left corner works as home page.
Seems easy enough, not to much pain working with it. :thumbsup:

Vini ... hit "quick links" in the top left corner choose 5th down "Active topics" the last post will have a small orange square to the right next to the post.

After a day I must say I don't mind it. Good on the phone

Alls I ask is that you get to see the post count of the thread and the last poster. Otherwise you can't see if there's been any posts since you last looked without clicking into the thread.



Image test. Didn't know we could upload straight fro the phone?

the icons to the left of the thread title indicate if the thread has been read/has new replies. if you click the little orange box it'll take you to the first post in the thread that you have't read

also, is it possible to have the quote/edit/report buttons sit at the bottom of a post rather than the top? saves having to scroll back up once you've read a long post and want to reply

Hi members,
all the feedback is being noted and suggestions are being worked on one at a time.
Thanks for your patience.

Now we've got ads between posts? That kind of kills the flow of conversation. I know you need revenue where you can get it but it's a balancing act with advertising - packing more ads in brings in money in the short term but also makes the site less appealing. There is a tipping point where the potential users you scare away with excessive advertising outweighs the immediate revenue gain - I think putting big ads between each post in a conversation puts you squarely on the wrong side of that line.

I was testing this early AM and forgot to change back. Should just be after the 1st, 5th and 9th now.

Cool, it was almost impossible to read a thread the way it was. Cheers and keep up the good work :a_goodjob:

Good job on the needed upgrade looks great. One issue I can't use the new forum setup on my Lumia windows phone using both Internet Explorer and Surfy. All the elements stack on top of each other (Control panel, user menu, other menus).

Could possibly be due to the width of the header logo, something I will be working on in the next few days.

Chrome, Firefox and Safari seem fine on my devices/laptop. :thumbsup:

Huh that's odd, I have a Lumia to (a 925) and have no issues except when I first logon and after a second of loading it rights itself?
Btw jon, the more I use this the better I like it! So clean and easy to use on phones so a big thumbs up from me
