Recommended Posts

kind of cool, if you have a topic open, just sitting, and a new post it made to it, you get a notification and the ability to read the new post without reloading the forum page.

 

Where is the "like" button? :dunno

removed again

 

:P

The new software looks great--I'm excited about being able to have a slightly larger avatar (that I can change myself).

 

If I can, that feature goes away...

 

Well fine then! :french

Lookin' good, Jeff! What a lot of work (as I happen to have some small reason to know :wacko: ), so thanks for giving up your vacay for us! :bow2

 

I see there's a string of social media links on the very bottom of the page, so you can "like" a whole thread I guess. I do kinda like the idea of liking a post (not for Facebook, but for the reasons Jay mentioned). If I get a vote! ;)

Loving the new, cleaner look. LOVE IT. Also, the navigation is much improved and flows much better, and most importantly (let's get our priorities right :P ), the emoties list is way more accessible and easier to use. And that's all I've explored so far.

 

Bravo! :clap

 

 

And here is where I have my first MAJOR complaint. The danged emoties are in a different order. I dont like it. Fix it.

Minor thing, but thought I should mention it. I just accessed GT from my iPhone. When I tap on the menu, the icons displaying the various options are excessively large -- they take up the whole display, so much so that the words "new content" are partially hidden and there is some text overlap:

Any way to tweak that?

The buttons are big, but I don't have the overlap on mine.

Tried to read through today's posts to see if someone already mentioned this. I'm unable to edit any of my posts. When I click edit, it opens up the box and I can change the post, but when I click on save nothing happens. Cancel, nothing happens.

I'm sure this has been a lot more trying for you, Jeff, than it has been for us, so I'll just thank you for keeping everything on track. :)

 

Just a question (and probably adding to your workload :( ).....when trying to add a link, we used to be able to change the name of the link to whatever we wanted it to say (the standard one that came up said My Link, which could be changed to anything we wanted). Do you know if we'll get that back?

 

I do have to say that if we didn't have this emotie before :bugeye I'm lovin' it! :rofl

I have no doubt this is operator error, but after checking "View New Content", and then clicking on "Mark all read", my next visit to "Veiw New Content" does not start anew and eliminate the previous threads that I've marked as read. They remain on the New Content page, and at this point I have 3 pages of "New Content", both unread, and those marked as read. Do the previously viewed threads drop off of the New Content at some point?

 

 

I have my "New Content" marked for Forums, and "New Since My Last Visit".

 

Sorry, that's confusing, but hopefully someone can follow my train of thought :wacko:

I thought the column layout of the old version was helpful to see more easily what forum a thread was in, or who had started it (which made re-finding a thread easier sometimes).

 

Also miss the subtitles but from what I've read above, that was removed in this version, and not a feature setting.

For the iphone, is it possible that you need to update? I haven't updated my phone in a while and it came up weird. I just got finished updating and it fixed it. :)

Yes, when you mark all read. Clear your browser cache as above and try again. I do not use the View new content feature, but I just tried it, marked all read, and the list was cleared as desired.

Yes, I have set the max size to 0 to disable uploads. Looking for a mass fix.

I think Jeff wanted us to wait on reloading any avatars......I thought he was going to try to fix it on his end. I could be wrong though. :dunno

I ran into that with my FIRST post after the update (back on page 3 of this thread, I think). Hit "refresh" and then it all worked as it's supposed to.

had not noticed the missing secondary titles. It looks like that is gone, replaced with tags just used for search I'd imagine.

 

Will that be an issue for things like auctions (where the beginning and ending dates used to be) and events (where most event dates used to be)?

Ha. Good to know, thanks. I have an older generation iPhone (3GS), that may be the issue. I'll be upgrading soon anyway, so no biggie.
