Bored Upgrade - discussion (1 Viewer)

[Scoresman]

Pics will be turned off if they haven't already. Search function still needs to be turned on. 

Lets all relax

Why can't pictures be turned on but with the option to have them turned off added to everyone's profile options?  People who don't like them can have them turned off?  It's a groundbreaking feature of most board software that came out around 2006 or so. 

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Ok that's cool.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

People in charge don't want pics here. Many/most users are fine with that. Plenty of other boards out there that allow images. 

 

[Johnny Rock]

New replies popup is cool. 

Also some posting Tools for iPad! Although they look sparse...Thank you. 

Looks like I need to upgrade my avatar to HD.

Will something be done about the harsh bright white color?

Please?

 

[shuke]

Oh god. So true!

This needs to be a top priority.

It's been mentioned. Myself and others will pass along suggested changes. Not sure what is or isn't feasible right now.

Great stuff.  You just make that up?

Nope

scoresman has been #####ing about us not allowing pics for years though

No nested quotes?

Looks like Shukee just ate Aaron's lunch. How will GM respond?

 

[flapgreen]

Bump

Because it would be really neat.

I figured out you can customize the sounds.  I put in a DLR Humalababablabeezaleebop.  Can someone like this post so I can see if it works

 

[The General]

This is like the New Coke. I don't think we are ready.

 

[Chaka]

Yup

 

[Willie Neslon]

Didnt work.  Can someone quote this it?  See if it's that.

Well consider this. It may not be popular because people sometimes complain about nested quotes, but IMO losing quoting will kill longer conversations and decrease the value of discussions in The Shark Pool. 

I take it the search function is getting fixed too because that is another great thing about TSP vs other sites, the continuity of discussions under one thread title over time.

Functionality controls content, remember that, don't make these changes lightly.

Will try myself

 

[Willie Neslon]

Works

 

[Willie Neslon]

Here it is if you guys want to use it.

 

[shuke]

Who are you talking to? I can't seem to follow this conversation. It would certainly be helpful to know who someone is replying to in a message board, you know, by maybe showing more than one message at a time.

I get the need to cut down on number of nested quotes.  But cutting it at 1 is dumb.

Another board I'm on just had the same upgrade and people complained about this for about a week, and since then no one really mentions it anymore.  White is white...go look at Reddit, Wikipedia, or any number of sites and it's the same normal white.  On the other board, they added some contrast to the borders, which looked better, but it seems like this mostly just comes from not being used to the changes and the power of suggestion.

Can always reduce your brightness.

 

[GreenNGold]

Hopefully they roll back, I'm done with this site unless they back out the downgrade and upgrade to what they used to have.

Seems drastic.

 

[GreenNGold]

Seems drastic.

How, the site is basically unusable in its current form?

 

[Scoresman]

Plenty of other boards out there that have more than one nested quote.

Wasn't working before.  Works now. If this was the old board I wouldn't have seen your post for hours.

 

[Scoresman]

OK, this is dumb... if someone replies in a thread while you're typing your own reply, once you submit your reply the page will not show the interim replies by other posters. You have to do a full refresh to see the new content.

Noticed this too. 

Also im on an iPad and if you quote someone then want to delete you have to kill the entire browser and reload to get rid of it.

You seem to be be posting just fine.

At least that's all you have to do. Before the upgrade you couldn't see new content no matter how many times you refreshed.

 

[Das Boot]

i think if they made the names and people pictures smaller it would make the thing seem less huge brohans take that to the bank

But isn't it kind of like a fun little treasure hunt trying  to find the actual text of the post amongst all the cluttery oversized junk?

 

[Willie Neslon]

Can someone quote and reply to this post?  Thanks. Trying something new.

 

[GreenNGold]

You seem to be be posting just fine. 

Yes, If I really focus I can still do it.  Is there a setting to get more than 15 posts per page?  Can't find it.

 

[Limp Ditka]

ohnoes!

 

[shuke]

So I guess every conversation ever had around here prior today is unreadable.

What a shame.

 

[Val Rannous]

Not caring for this so far.  Main issues:

1. No post count.
   
2. 25 post count per page.
   
3. WHITE!!!
   
4. No customization, even if Maurile thinks it exists.
   
5. Circular Avatars?  What's next, Disco?
   
6. Broke stuff is still broke, with a whole new list.
   

Maybe this stuff is change-able in settings, but for now this is not an improvement.

This looks much better on my tablet.

 

[Willie Neslon]

Good luck.

Thanks. It worked. MGM lion roar

Yellow FBG board.....#### am I in college again?

 

[joey]

Just seeing the board "upgrade" after a weekend away.

it's probably covered in this thread but I ain't searching 44 pages so...

Is there any way to filter just to the topics I've replied to like we used to be able to?

thanks in advance. I'll take the answer off the air...

ETA: my avatar in a circle is stupid looking

On my phone this link :

Used to take me to threads I replied in.  Can this be done now?

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

At least that's all you have to do. Before the upgrade you couldn't see new content no matter how many times you refreshed.

That may have just been you.  I always got a little notice that there were x number of new replies, and when I posted there they were already viewable.

 

[BassNBrew]

Does this work?

Jfjjfdbk

Let's find out.

And for god's sake, put the post numbers back.

That would be a big NO.

Wait what?

Supposed to get cleaned up as the board rebuilds all complete.
