Why both post likes and reputation?

Answered in the other thread.

Having the post # and date/time of post on bottom of the post seems odd. Makes it hard to quickly locate where you may have left off reading last time.

Formatting is also weird. Date/time entry looks to be slightly higher, or a different font than the rest of the data before and after it.

Agreed on both counts. The postbit, specifically, is something I'll be working on.

You now have to click "More Options" and then "Preview" to see what a post looks like prior to actually posting. Can the "Preview" button be added next to the current 3 buttons?

That appears to be how it's setup in the classifieds.

It's the same in the classifieds. I can't imagine it'd be hard to add, I'll look into it.

i agree with berkshire rider on this. good to know it's being looked into.

How do you send a PM ? Is that the same as starting a conversation ?

Yep. Same thing only conversations are now threaded instead of acting like emails.

Short response, as it's all I have time for at the moment:

work has a limited browser, and i can't get this to tune in clean on it. i may be goofing off in these parts less frequently

This. I'm not really liking the new site. Too difficult and doesn't work well from the office. Even less so on the phone.

Maybe it's due to my work browser settings/capabilities, but this entire site as a whole is dreadful to navigate. I did not contribute anything specific in my post, because frankly there's too many to list. I'm just bummed, because 99% of my RM browsing is at work and clearly things just don't jive there.

Sorry for being so short and snippy in my first post....but to be honest, this is a perfect example (to me) that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

it seem that when you make a post in a thread, the thread doesnt make it onto the "new posts" page.

let me guess, you're still on IE8?

 

[canadmos]

Personally I've found this new stuff to be a pretty easy transition. It looks like, feels like, smells like and sometimes even tastes like the old forum; only with round corners on everything.

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

This.

Yep. Painfully slow and difficult to navigate.

No local administrative rights on yalls computers?

Okay. So I guess I won't worry about what's wrong for you. If you ever decide that you'd like to contribute to fixing the problem, I'm here to listen. Until then, I'm not exactly going to work hard fixing something where someone won't even spend 10 minutes trying to describe what the issue is so I can investigate.

Start with one problem.

You know how they say "lead, follow or get out of the way?"

This is: "contribute to a solution, accept the way it is, or shut up and suffer in silence."

but to be honest, this is a perfect example (to me) that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It was broke. Just not completely evident on the user side.

 

[binary visions]

Yep. Painfully slow and difficult to navigate.

Slow I can look at.

Difficult to navigate doesn't help. Explain?

You guys know that chrome can be installed on most computers without administrative rights? That's what I've done @ my place of employment. Fuck IE.

It's interesting, the site is blazing fast on both IE9 and IE10 in my tests.

 

[Pesqueeb]

I'll take your word for it. IE got so ponderous and unfriendly to use, I haven't used it in probably 2 years.

 

[SkaredShtles]

I'll take your word for it. IE got so ponderous and unfriendly to use, I haven't used it in probably 15 years.

I fixed that for me.

I work for a German-owned pharma company.....security in all aspects is tighter than a gnat's butthole

 

[SkaredShtles]

I haven't found navigation to be "difficult" - it's different, yes - and will require a new Ridemonkey workflow... but give it a month and it'll all be 2nd nature.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Hey BV,
No thread tag capabilities?

 

[jdcamb]

Thanks BV the site is awesome! Somebody buy him a beer. If I could I would send you a big chunk of Moroccan Hashish. But I sadly cannot....

 

[kazlx]

I think mentioned before, but the responses in the e-mail notifications would be nice.

 

[binary visions]

Hey BV,
No thread tag capabilities?

There's a thread tag function at the bottom of every thread... do you not have the option to edit tags?

 

[kazlx]

I don't see a thread tag function. But I may just be stupid.

 

[binary visions]

Whoops, I missed a user permission.

Refresh and look now - do you see "Tags" under the quick reply box?

 

[kazlx]

Yup, see the tags now.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Tested, works.

Whoops, I missed a user permission.

So....trying it out on Chrome at home, and already 75% of what I was griping about is resolved....LOTS of buttons present that were previously showing as empty boxes....hence my frustration and the "difficulty navigating."

Also, not sure exactly what it is, but the formatting itself seems a lot better; easier to read, follow the order of things, buttons/tabs in order, etc. Maybe it was the blank boxes themselves screwing everything up in IE?!

That alone makes me want to stay. You're welcome BV

Can you give me an example of one so that I can figure out why they were showing empty?

 

[stevew]

good job BV.

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

I left my work laptop at home, so I'll have to check tomorrow. I can't think of what specifically they were, which is strange given how absurdly difficult it is to navigate without them. I don't quite realize exactly what's different, but I know I have no issues moving around now.

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

One immediate thing I can't figure out, and is what I use most often (and might have already been covered)....is there a way to access a list of threads you've posted in? Used to be "subscribed threads." That was the main hub of my surfing. Don't see a tab under my username. The "Watched Threads" seems like it should be it, but this thread doesn't come up in the list, and should be right at the top....

EDIT: new issue (first time it happened)...ad in the quick reply box?! Can't type in it...

 

[Quo Fan]

I only go a few places here, and I collapse the middle forums. Every time I return, I have to collapse the same forums again. How can I get them to stay collapsed between visits?

 

[Pesqueeb]

MOAR TAGS! Thanks BV.

 

[Nick]

Apparently custom titles run the risk of being too long.

 

[Nick]

And with that example, posting on the site is easier on my galaxy s4 than the old site.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

How do you tell when a member is online. Old format had a circle that was green when they were online.

i say spot on!

 

[jdcamb]

I'm glad the demons that used to taunt me and say mean things in the background are gone. My self esteem should slowly return. I hope...

Watched Threads is it - go into your Preferences and check off "automatically watch threads you post or reply to." Same as VB - that's not the default.

Not sure what happened with the quick reply box. I've not seen it and can't replicate. I'll assume it's a one-off glitch unless someone else mentions it or you see it again.

I only go a few places here, and I collapse the middle forums. Every time I return, I have to collapse the same forums again. How can I get them to stay collapsed between visits?

Hrm, I enabled that feature specifically for that reason but didn't test it. Will get back to you.

It's not a current function but the next version, 1.4, which is already in its third beta (so release isn't very far out) has that.
