By any chance, has the Auto Editing (of swear words) been by-passed with the transfer of posts over to the new site?

Purely in the interest of research, I will do a copy and paste of a quote and see what happens: "Yet people think they're stupid and then you get humans so fat they need a (Edited by mods) mobility scooter to do some food shopping."

Regarding Logging In, once you enter your email and password and hit ok, a confirmation + redirect alert popup appears. Don't wait for the redirect, it's not working, just click further in the site or just refresh the page and you will notice you are in.

I just assumed that's what everyone did.

I wondered why people were complaining about slow logins.

I think the word you are looking for cnoevil is oops, maybe a bit of editing is needed.

It is a little incongruous with the new Tonka Toy image.*shok*

I will have to try that, if I ever log out again! *smile*

You should be ok until the next upgrade in a few year's time.

Lol.

For me, the new look is hit and miss. I don't like the 'windows 8' feel to it at all or how the forum looks. The forum is a bit like having a conversation in a warm room in which you feel comfortable to listen or talk, only to be told you're being whisked off somewhere less comfortable which feels oddly colder. I guess it will warm up though. However, I do like how the review section looks and is set out; much more user friendly than before.

Oh EDITED, that's a bit unfortunate, isn't it? *diablo*

 

[nara]

eh?

 

[musical0111]

eh?

hmm.

 

[Andy Clough]

Indeed. Id have thought people should see the 'report' button though, since that's 'flag as offensive' in old money.

No, that disappeared with the upgrade.

Maybe WHF? staff (and mods) should also have an ordinary vanilla 'userid' (like we have) in order to see what we see after upgrades are made.

(For example the 'signature' box that Andy could see on settings but we couldn't.)

I have tinkered a bit with the settings and all logged-in, registered users should now get the 'Report' button. The signatures settings box issue has me stumped I'm afraid - one for the devs on Monday.

 

[Neptune_Twilight]

I get the report button but I can also as I found out messing around I could delete an entire thread I started (I wondered what the delete button did) It was just to tempting not to press it ! *shok*

If the fonts are smaller & the double spacing sorted I can live with the rest oh & leave the delete button in too *wacko*

 

[SonofSun]

The look and feel of the website is dreadful, just horrible to look at.

 

[robinkiddy]

'New & Updated' and 'Active' - are they not the same? Is it me or do they not always keep up - miss some posts sometimes? I prefer 'Latest Posts'. Also not sure that unnanswered posts is very useful - if no replies there is a reason surely - OP could repost.

PS RobinKidderminster is sorely missed - such an ace chap. Hope he can be reborn soon.

The number on my post keeps changing! Any ideas?

 

[robinkiddy]

Also ..... 'updated' in red & 'read X new' in blue replaced the simpler 'X unread'.

Seems some funny choices - colours obviously but kinda gettin used to it. Seems so much wasted space. Duplication (as above). Less intuitive generally. Pinch zoom should surely work too - fine on tablet but too small on phone.

It would be nice to have a list of features which are being looked into so that we dont have to repost same stuff all the time and recognise that 'our' views are shared and accepted. Is this the right place to comment or 'FEEDBACK'. Too many different places to choosw from maybe?

 

[Anderson]

Is the forum massively slow for everyone else or is it just me?

 

[relocated]

I think the general concensus is that it is dreadfully slow.

 

[relocated]

I notice there is a [*dash1*very helpful] box telling me that my comment has been posted. Trouble is that it shows at the top of the page and I have already noticed that my post is on the website because it appears right in front of me. Is this not a completely useless feature?

I think the cosmetics of the site can be sorted out in due course, but in order to make things cleaner and easier to read it would help if some of the forum topics were culled or hidden from the top level view if they are sub-forums. Out fo the following list I think the ones marked with a '*' wouldn't be missed too much (IMHO) ... preferably they could be combined into the parent topic. I think a new topic called "Music and video services" would be useful where people can talk about Qobuz, Spotify, Netflix etc.
