Issue: making post that adds new page does not navigate to new page

Description: I made a post while on page 3 of this thread. After posting, it did not take me to my post. Instead it posted on page 4, left me on page 3, and gave a very subtle message saying "your new reply is on page 4". It's very easy to miss that. It should always navigate me to my latest post.

See attached image.

Issue: existing posts not indexed for searching

Description: Doing a site-wide search for "Dinko" - one of the names of the main characters in my dynasty - yields zero results. Presumably older threads are not indexed by the site's search functionality.

EDIT: This works in some themes, not in others.

Issue: no easy way to jump to last post in thread from a forum.

Description: On a forum if you want to jump straight to the last page from the forum, it doesn't appear to be possible. It was possible in the old forums. See screenshot.

Issue: the "online" page is...confused?

Description: a lot of weird things here on this page: https://forums.operationsports.com/forums/online

1. It says it's showing users 1-10, but it only shows 4 users on page 1.
2. But then if I refresh page 1, now it shows 6 users.
3. If I go to page 2, it shows 2 users. Both of whom were on page 1....
4. I cannot change the # of users per page that show up.
5. For many users, it doesn't show what forum/post they are looking at. Just blank.
6. There's only 27 members online, but scrolling to page 13 (130 members?) still shows members.

See screenshots.

Will the Tapatalk app not work anymore with the new forums?

So it seems this is an issue with the theme I was using. Orange Purple works well. Default vB5 style does not.

UPDATE: FIXED on 5/6!

Issue: you cannot see who liked a post.

Description: especially when in a dynasty, it's nice to know who likes a post. It's a way for me to tell someone "hey, good work, I'm not going to reply, but I appreciate your work." Since the dynasties are community-oriented, it's great to know who is reading and engaging.

Issue: you can like/react to your own post

Description: it's weird that you can thumbs up your own post. Should be disallowed.

Bonus: I like that you can do multiple reacts to a post, that's neat.

[bigjdotcom01]

I cannot view the dynasty forums or post in them. I can view and post in all others.

UPDATE: fixed as of 5/5

Issue: site no longer has OperationSports header

Description: it says vBulletin. We don't need the forum tech to be the site title

[studbucket]

UPDATE: This is fixed as of 5/13/25.

Issue: smiley disappeared on post.

Description: entering in a smiley with a colon+parentheses disappears on post. I will now hit enter twice and post 5 smileys:

So we won't have access to forums now unless we use browser on our phone?

Studbucket, that link doesnt say that Tapatalk wont work anymore... What am I missing?

It's implied. Here's what Chase said:

I would think Tapatalk won't like this change since it was already held together by paperclips and not supported. That said, it should be easier by default to post on your phone if you go to the forums.
