Feedback & Bug Reports for new Forums

Haven't read through all the posts in this thread yet so I apologize if this has been reported. When I click on the link to a thread I have subscribed to in an email I used to be taken to the last post I viewed in that thread. Now I go to the firs page of the thread. Can we get that changed back?
I also lost my avatar:(

it worked for me and took me straight to your new post. try logging out and back in, and/or clearing cookies.
 
Yep - works now on my desktop.
 
The only thing I've found that I dislike so far, aside from the brightness, is the way the New Posts button doesn't work the way it used to.

On the old forums, it would show all the recent threads with activity no matter what. But on the new one if I click on a thread, then go someplace else, that thread won't show up in the New Posts again until someone else posts in the thread.

The problem with this is that I'm often browsing the forums on my phone and click on a thread to read it, but I want to reply when I get back to my computer, if no one else has replied to the thread it is very difficult to find.
 
It feels.....appleised......


now I feel dirty

I dont know how to take this or really what it means. But iv decided that if I knew you in real life I would probably solemnly agree with you pat you on the shoulder and buy you another beer.
 
so thats what happened. w1zz updated his iphone 5 to iOS7 and the forums didnt match his phone.

Looks like same issue with watched topics. They just completely disappear from the list. (Ah, there is "show all watched threads" at the bottom.)

Fine work Wizz.

Looking forward to another day of your hard work!

:toast:
 
I absolutely LOATHE the new layout. If there isnt a way for me to go back to how it was before this update, I may honestly never come back. I know some people will laugh, call me a loser, whatever, but man, there is just too much WHITE.

That's taking it a bit extreme. Forums are about content. Besides, vBulletin is a piece of shit. XenForo is much better!

You're right. Forums are about content, but the way the CONTENT is now laid out, I just cant stand it. There is too much white space. The forum is now too bright. I'm not liking anything about this. I dont ever recall seeing a thread where people wanted an updated look.
 
Can we turn off all trophies trophys trouts....all the notifications?

Also the alert button doesn't work very well on android mobile browser, it may be the targeting in the browser though.
 
I would also really like a post button at the top of the thread please.

I agree it's harsh on the eyes.
 
This would go a LOOONG way to help the board look better and easier on the eyes: Made a little correction to how it would look.

Right now the date and post number bar being white makes it harder to focus and makes the board not look as polished. Like something is missing...

hmm when i click on the frontpage it takes me to first post in a thread is that normal or it need to be updated to take me to the last post in the thread? ^^;
 
Guys who have the FS threads combined in one (ongoing) thread, may find difficulties updating their first posts to add stuf or mark products as sold.

About the brightness: the baby blu and light orange etc could be a bit darker, the "white" yo speak of is actually very light grey and a shade or two darker than the background white of the Windows file manager. I know it could mayhaps be a bit darker but apart from that I suppose some folks should actually calibrate their monitor and turn on a light in the room.
 
Wow trophies? I dont fucking want facebook shit. I dont use facebook or any social media because it's fucking stupid. Now, I get it on one of my favorite forums? *shakes head*

I am very disappointed with fucking TPU right now.
 
Hey it says i'm a new user still,

Also the old vBulliten had a list of BB codes at the bottom of the page, i'm guessing they don't work anymore here? still not used to those so i don't know
[size=-3](Example)[/size]
EDIT:
never mind about the BB Codes, gonna have to read the forums of XenForo for that

i absolutely love the new alerts feature!
But err... i noticed that the posts arent updated automatically without having to refresh or make a new post.
