New site GLITCH and PROBLEM reporting HERE

Thank you for keeping us informed.
I saw the Today’s posts as soon I opened today.

Now I am going to be one of those not thankful people - Can they make it work more like it used to?

Threads do not show the icon that I have posted in them. The go to last read post option is not there. No ability to jump to a page.

It is basically a poor combination of the two options this new forum had, missing all the good features that the old forum had.

Please consider improving the alternate device view and functions - remain limited.

Will there be an announcement when the forum is ‘Fixed’ to let posters know it’s ‘safe’ to come ‘home’ ?!

I think you can use the search bar in the ribbon to do that within a thread, at least from desktop. I don’t see that same search option on the mobile version, though.

Perhaps future upgrade could be a “filter to -x user-” in the filter screen. :slight_smile: I know there are times when it would be really nice to just view all of the OPs posts in a long thread!

2 questions/issues (sorry if these have already been addressed/answered… with a 5 month old I do not have time to go through 11 pages to find answers!);

  1. How come nothing is working on my iPhone? I can open the main forums page, but when I try to go into a thread I get either a blank page or redirected to the main page (I like browsing the threads while feeding my munchkin which is only possible on my phone)
  2. Tried logging in using IE and was unable to post (using Chrome now)

Check out vBulletin’s forum here, please. Is Today’s Topics more what you’re looking for?

@Moderator 1 That does look more like what we had. I have no way of telling if that includes the symbols for threads posted in by the user or not, but visually it looks like what we had.

Thanks for checking. I’ve requested that they add Today’s Topics, and leave Today’s Posts, but ditch the Latest Posts widget, which provides less information than Today’s Posts and requires users to scroll post it to get to the content.

Sound good?

I’m not sure if it will have an indicator for threads upon which you’ve posted.

I kind of like the alternative “Today’s Post”… it’s cool to leaf through all actual posts that have been recently posted (and seeing a brief synopsis of what was said!!) without having to go to the thread unless I want to read more… but I also appreciate the old “Today’s Posts” which listed all the threads with new posts in them. I think having both is awesome!

Whoot on the enlarged font - hadn’t really noticed it (as I assumed it was a bit further down the priority list) but yay!!! I don’t have to paste my nose 6" from the screen now :slight_smile:

You guys are being super responsive in working through issues and addressing them! Thanks!!

Still miss the bold/unbold at the forum level for topics I’ve already “seen” (i.e., haven’t been updated since my last Marked TOD - time-of-day) vs topics that have been updated since my last Marked TOD.

Thanks! Doing our best to stay on top of things. :slight_smile:

The read/unread differentiation not working is on the list. I also found via vBulletin.com that, I believe, similar differentiation is supposed to work for the notifications, which I’ve also asked the developers about. I’m guessing whatever reason it’s not working for threads may apply to the notifications too.

On my Account settings, I’ve checked Invisible Mode, but I’m still showing up in Who’s Online. Am I the only one who can see myself listed there, or is Invisible Mode not operational?

Thanks very much for the improvements made so far.

:encouragement:

And ever hopeful that being able to ignore all posts by a specific user will return :smiley:

Sounds like you guys are chasing the read/unread behavior which is awesome!!! Sometimes when changing the underlying software to “translate” old functionality to new to figure out how to do something :eek:

I can see myself in the who’s online but there is * by your username so no one else can see your on line. I checked it out while login on computer. Then went online on phone and can’t be seen that i’m on line so invisible mode is working.

Thank you very much for checking this out!

I need to update to the new mobile site on my phone, but was waiting until most of the changes and bug corrections are done, so I really appreciate it.

With the previous CoTH forum, I only kept the HTML archives version on my phone; couldn’t post, links didn’t work, photos didn’t show, etc., and all threads on the forums were in strictly chronological order, but it loaded very quickly and was a fast, easy, very readable way to access CoTH when away from a computer, without distracting graphics. Hope the new mobile site is also simple and fast.

When anyone posts, then the main page is showing their name, but not always their avatar, but a previous one.

Just wondering if that is temporary or something they may need to look into?

Edited to add, it didn’t do that with this post, it did with my previous one on the Farm forum and has been happening all morning.

I am seeing what looks like a caching bug. I post a reply, and it doesn’t appear. If I try to restore my editor content and post it again, it advises me I’ve already posted that content but refreshing and shift-refreshing doesn’t display it. In this most recent case, it advised me also that my message would be on the next page, but it’s not yet giving navigation to a new page.

Notifications. Once you’ve clicked on a thread with new posts from the Notifications section, shouldn’t the notification go away without you having to go back and remove it? I think it worked this way once (maybe on my phone?), but it hasn’t since.

And my time is still off by an hour (it’s one hour late relative to PST)

@Moderator 1
Ok it happened again. I tried to repost what I tried before and I got told again that my post is not approved… So what does it mean?? Thank you for your help

there’s a Notifications thread in here with more on this. But yes, they are working on this. the old forum would remove the subscription notification of new replies either right away, or after some time period (I never could figure out why the delay sometimes), but always the font would un-bold once you visited.

FWIW I have found that a Notification totally disappears on its own if I reply to it, but not if I only visit, and not if I Like the post.

I would tag Mod 1 on this issue then you can find out why it’s happening and get the issue fixed.
