It's been almost a week, anyone having issues?

[Mike the Brit]

I haven't set that back up yet specifically because I'm not comfortable accepting anyone's $$ until everything is working correctly for everybody. Hopefully we're getting closer, but still not quite there yet.

That's really principled of you, Ian (wouldn't have expected otherwise). But let us know when you feel the time is ripe. (And I'd still love a way to have shorter posts take up less space and to have more posts per page! )

looking good

I was on the site today with my phone. Looked very....responsive...

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Ian, I have IE8 on my work computer and I can't see any words in any threads.

 

[pdangle]

Needs tapatalk or similar client. Not big fan of stripped down mobile sites (here and elsewhere) with iPhone.

 

[1960Pats]

All I could say can be summed up in two words... thanks Ian.

It's not in my immediate plans because of the fact the new version of the forum has a mobile version that seems to work well, although I'm looking into the push notifications, which were handy. Once I get through hopefully working out all the kinks I'll see what I can come up with.

If you have an iPhone or iPad and select send to home screen it will create an icon just like any other app you have. I actually like the mobile site better than Tapatalk and I was a big user of Tapatalk before.

I had that issue too. Had to switch browsers because on IE8, I would have to highlight the text just to see posts. I'm using IE9 on my work computer now and everything works great.

Any chance you can grab a screenshot of this? Tried with a few people now and I haven't been able to get one. Wish I could install it to figure out where the problem is, but it would be a little easier if I could visually see it...?

EDIT: I think I may have fixed it, so just let me know

Just feedback. Unlike the old platform where browser often lost its place the new forum takes me back to the last post every time. Looks better and is faster. Safari on a MAC.
Bring it, you masculine geek MAC bashers!

Had the same issue on the old forum and it works perfectly now. Even when roaming from device to device (work PC, MacBook, home laptop, iPhone).

I actually think the not like feature will cut down on some of the petty arguing.
If you can simply click an opinion on a post rather than respond, in a lot of cases I bet that would keep things on track.

I've been vocal here against this one new aspect of an otherwise great upgrade to the Board.

I think that your comment, though, is a reasonable one.

While my personal preference would be to stick with the prior rubric that only allowed positive feedback, I would be comfortable with a compromise that limited the feedback to "Agree" and "Disagree" or "Like" and "Dislike"...as long as it is not anonymous and the person who applies a negative rating is identified by name in the post itself and can't lurk.

However, I will continue to speak against the inclusion of "Dumb" or "Bad Spelling." While I am someone who is a fanatic about spelling and grammar (I spel and write good in three languages ) and who has been called many things, but never "Dumb," I just think that these categories are too "personal" and have the potential to change the tone of our community. I find a lot of comments out here that I think are "dumb," but I either just ignore them or reply on the facts; and I could spend all day dinging posts that had misspelled words or bad grammar.

I actually removed a bunch of them including the "dumb" one a couple of days ago, as well as the bad spelling, etc. Hopefully the ones we have work for everyone now

Wish you didn't remove "informative" because I was intending to use it every time I saw an intelligent post about football.

My wish list for useful symbol adds

• GFY
• Wicked Pissah!
• WTF?
• Jets Fan!
• Informative (needs to return)

I took that one out because I left the "useful" icon - thought it was redundant. But I can re-activate it if you'd like.

They do seem redundant. I say activate one of them not both. People appear to like the "informative" one better.

 

[Big-T]

"Useful" is more for technical issues and "informative" for Football related things IMO.

Fair enough. I'll switch them out if that's what people would prefer

 

[FourierSeries]

I have tried it on IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and mobile (using Chrome.) Works great on all of them, but I recently downloaded Opera and I love it. It's faster than all of the other browsers - not just the site, but in general. At least on Windows 8.
