Nov'14 forum revamp discussion

Hi all,

please see this thread: Updates on what we've changed/fixed in the new forum

@Marta thanks, pretty good solution! the search result link is even bookmark-friendly ♦
it still might be a bit awkward for some members though, but i'm sure that you're working on it. ♦

You gonna add some colour or is it gonna remain all white and grey?

Where can i find out if there are replies on forum posts?
Greets NVKS

found the way to edit titles, thx for help

Hi NVKS,
Any thread you have posted to is in your favourites.
The link to your favourites is the leftmost option underneath the menu bar while viewing any forum post.
This is the link:
https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/usercp.php?action=favorites

I bookmarked my favourites.

Also, if you go to the settings page:
https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/usercp.php?action=options_change
You can check the box "Enable email notification by default?"
That way, when anyone replies to a thread in your favourites, you get an email.

Hope that helps...

Is it just me or the "quote" button does not produce a quote the first time I click on it?

I'm trying to quote a post and it only works when I click on the button twice.

Hi, WinStrat,
It worked first time that time.
The one that takes two for me is when I refresh my favourites page, it takes two refreshes for all the post I've read to show as read.

Here is another item that takes two clicks:
If I click "mark all as read" at the top of a forum page, I have to click it twice to get the symbols to change to grey.

The short for these arn't english, but french.

Also, not sure why is called fishy? O,o

Is the option of searching for threads started by another (certain) member gone permanently, or am I missing the way to do it in the current interface?

Hi tonypmm,

you are right, this function is currently unavailable. I will consult the IT department to see what we can do,

Thanks!

I think a better job can be done in spacing out the end of a post and the persons signature.

It just seems all cramped up together in a tight little space.

EDIT: The dividing line needs to be highlighted more as well.

Hi UPAY4DINNER, I see your point (and agree). Will check what's planned regarding this, thanks.

Great.

You can call me by my real name as well

I was going to make a cheap joke and call you Paddy, then I figured you'd take it as a compliment.

I still see my "Submit" button is Orange. Where dat sexy red?

I had an odd thing happen today.
I had opened my favourites, then looked at the last post of all the threads w/ new activity, replying to several.
When I was done, I refreshed my favourites, and there were several threads that showed the "new activity" icon, but when I checked them, they were all old -- some by several days.

In some cases, I was even the last poster.

Bug?

Hey Vorpal,

Do these threads still show as unread in the normal board overview for you too?
The issue should have been fixed already. Just tested with board favourite thread and boards and seems to work for me

Hi, Rene,
They seem to be OK today.

[Edit:]
Maybe I spoke too soon.
I just went to GPD, when I opened the forum, there were 4 threads showing the red marker. I selected one to read/reply, and clicked "Mark as Read" -- now there are 8.
Including several with the lines, even though no-one has posted since my last post.
