New Forum Version Going Live

[David Heath]

We are updating our forums to the latest edition. All Forum Threads and user accounts will stay the same. There will be some downtime as the data is converted over and we do expect there will be some bug fixing once the new version is live.

Thanks for the update and warning.

If you want feedback, what kind of information are you looking for so the bugs can be isolated and corrected?

How do you want to receive that feedback?

David,
The forum search doesn't work for me (always returning Server Error).

 

[David Heath]

I will look into this today.

Small observation: I mostly use an iPad to view the forum; the new/unread topics are more difficult to identify than with the previous version, they are not as conspicuous as they used to be.

Hi.

I agree with the previous poster. I use a PC with a 33 inch screen and I still have trouble distinguishing new posts/threads from old ones. Maybe instead of using shades of white to distinguish them you could grey old ones out [ like with the sub-forums] or use a different colour to distinguish new threads and new posts to old threads. Thanks.

Rob.

@David Heath unfortunately, the forum search still doesn't work for me.
Neither does work the list of postings for a user. So if I go to your profile and click "Postings", I get a server error.

I'm probably missing something, but I know there used to be a way to jump to the first unread message in a thread. I can't find any way to do that with the new forum.

Fixed now, thanks a lot.

 

[David Heath]

Yes, I know we will put someone on this next week.

Beautiful. You made threads with new messages stand out, and clicking on them takes you to the first unread. Thanks!

 

[David Heath]

Yes, We finally got that fixed. I had to find a new programmer for the forum software.

Makes the forums much less tedious to follow.
