ydoaPs Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I thought it was ugly at first. Now I think it's more sleek and elegant. I approve. But the "new content" page....it's disgusting. Aside from that, yeah, just new. But, come on, who picked that colour scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACG52 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) I'm using 'view new content', I go to the bottom of the page and mark all as read. This takes me back to the Forum page. So far, so good. When I now click on view new content, shouldn't it say no new content found? What it does is list the same new content page as before, with the new post indicators blank.

ydoaPs Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) I thought it was ugly at first. Now I think it's more sleek and elegant. I approve. There's also a function that let's you see what other people are doing. How do you find new site content without these features? Do you actually go to each subforum page? Speaking of "Online Users", is there a way to default it to "Show Registered Only"? You live in America I am a citizen of the universe.

iNow Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I am a citizen of the universe. No, we are the universe realizing itself as a human for a little while. What it does is list the same new content page as before, with the new post indicators blank. What are your filter settings on the left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACG52 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 What are your filter settings on the left? Yup, that was it. It was set on new since my last visit, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Unfortunately, it looks like the opposite has happened. Trust me, this is not even close to what we were getting before the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatfaal Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Dave, Capn, and all the admins - I really like the new setup so far. Many thanks for the hard work it must have been implementing, and for the future debugging to come. By the way - does it benefit the forum to click the facebook "like", googleplus "+1" etc? I will quiet happily click regularly if it is gonna raise profile a/o ad revenue etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 If it gets us more readers and regular visitors, it's a help to us. We get hundreds of thousands of visitors, so a few more from Facebook won't make a dent in our ad revenue -- but if one of your friends decides they like SFN and joins, we benefit. The more smart and interested members we get, the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel123456 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 My profile photo and my avatar are the same? In the old version they were different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 My profile photo and my avatar are the same? In the old version they were different. From what I gather, the new system removed the profile photo option and just replaced it with the avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel123456 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) That is not what I call an improvement. --------------------- I am working from different PC's at work, at home,... From this one, when editing a reply, the system opens the edit in full mode for half a second then changes in simple mode without any facilities. The buttons for quoting, inserting image link, etc. are grey. I'll have to try from another PC to see if that happens everywhere. Some other time.- Oops, it works correctly now. I don't know what happens. Edited December 8, 2012 by michel123456 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNow Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 On the very top left of the text editor is a button that looks like a toggle switch for a light. See if the buttons grey or ungrey when you press that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Alternatively, Cap'n tells me you can double-click inside a quote and it will allow you to respond to multiple parts of the post and make the edit buttons active. I haven't tried it but I will soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it but I will soon. I don't understand that. Other issue. Went to "Reply to this topic", then bottom right to "More Reply Options' then clicking the Image button: the Forum gets all grey and impossible to do anything.

When that happens it should present you with an input box to type in the image's URL. You aren't seeing the box are you? What browser are you using?

iNow Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'm thinking it's a popup blocker. Try pressing and continuing to hold down the ctrl key on your keyboard as you click More Reply Options. If that fixes it, then your issue is the result of a popup window being blocked by IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringJunky Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 INow I don't think It's a popup issue. Although I have IE9, I set it to block all popups and the Add Image box still came up here. Michel Try deleting your cache: Tools > Internet Options > General > Browsing History: Delete > OK If this fails try another browser to see if the issue is repeated.

michel123456 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) Browser issue. With firefox no problem. Other solutions failed. Edited December 8, 2012 by michel123456 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringJunky Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Try resetting IE. There's a FIXIT button on this MS page that will do it for you...follow the prompts: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 If you want to backup and restore your favourites folder use this first: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/MailBrowserBackup-Download-124292.html What OS are you using?

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Don't need to do anything that drastic; it's probably just cached code from the old software interacting badly with new stuff from the new software. Force-refresh or clear cache and see what happens. The site doesn't use any popups, so you shouldn't need to disable a popup blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
