Here's the latest on the Forum upgrade... Report problems here

Hey Steve, I think you'd said in your thread announcing the new forums (which I guess is still waiting to be transferred over) that this first version would actually be a test forum (Or an open beta) and the final version would go live (or go Gold) at a later time? Is this still the case?

Yup, still the case. I do not have an exact date for that yet but will be pushing for "sooner the better".

Have to log in repeatedly. When I tried to post in another thread it never showed up. Logged me out.

Yup, slowness of forums and that specific issue is at the top of the list of fixes.

Finally was able to get logged in, gotta be honest as it stands right now it's a mess. I'm not disabling my ad blocker and when it pops up asking me to do so the option to decline isn't even there. Like others have mentioned before (I haven't read anything in this thread at all) they don't have to disable their ad blocker anywhere else. I'll check back now and then and hopefully in a few weeks the forums are back to the new normal and my issue will be fixed.

Issue: subscription initial sorting state is confusing

Description: On my subscription page (accessed by clicking the Subscriptions - 143 link below my profile info on my profile page, see screenshot), the default sorting is confusing. The header shows arrows next to both Name and Last Activity, but it appears to only be sorted by Name.

Suggestion: subscriptions in are most useful where sorted by last activity. The old forum had a great system and the new one is also missing some information that one had. It's also weird to be subscribed to a person. What does that even mean?

Wanted to follow up on this. I happened to have a tab open on my laptop that still has the old site layout. Here's the subscriptions page. I loved this layout. Gave me everything I needed on the page: subscribed threads in order of most recent post, see who posted, see which are unread, and ability to jump to newest unread post.

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:

UPDATE: Fixed on 5/9

Following up here, it appears many emojis are broken.

Issue: emojis don't work

Description: click the smiley face next to the "A" in the new post UI (see screenshot 1). Click to add various emojis to a post. Click preview (or post), see that no emojis show up. See screenshot 2.

I wish I had a 100% answer for you, but that is how it is supposed to work. All in chronological order.

Can you get in now?



How about now?

Yes I can get in now and the issue with long articles being cut off appears to be fixed as well. The last test post I did (Just editing the last post I made) saved the changes with the entire article.

Still not seeing the option to enable html links, but aside from the tables not working everything else seems to be working.

Also found a way to make the quick reply window bigger, that wasn't there before, so posting long updates would be easier. And I will say the site appears to be running a lot smoother this morning than it has in a while for me at least.

[Steve_OS]

Yes sir. There's tiny formatting issues, but it's 95% of the way there!

OK. Need to find a way to default it to HTML on always, but I'm not finding it anywhere. It's on in the obvious places, but there must be another area I'm missing.

[studbucket]

Edited, is that what it's supposed to look like?

Locked out of the dynasty forums again fyi


Also, saw it asked and didn't see it answered. As old posts continue to get added to the new forum, will they update in the appropriate chronological order, or will the post from between 4/8-5/1 just show up as they get added?

Just curious if it would be less of a headache to create a new thread for my dynasty going forward, rather than waiting to update until everything is completely moved. That's also pending the long posts being fixed where they all upload as well, obv.

Me Too, I'm Locked Out as well so I Can't Post a Dynasty Thread in the Forum as well.

[Steve_OS]

I can easily re-create post #3 in my dynasty thread.

Issue: post titles look like post content

Description: in the old forum, a post title was bolded and had an HR between it and the content. Now the post title is the exact same font styling as the post with no separator. It just looks like the content. See screenshot.

[studbucket]

Can you give me a link to one post that you can live without if I mess it up when I enable HTML just to see what happens? I doubt it messes up, but I just want to see if it even fixes it.

I can easily re-create post #3 in my dynasty thread.
