PC New forum look & feel poll

[Fox]

Could you follow the forums you're interested in, then use the "content from areas I follow" option?

Took me a bit of time to figure out how to make it work and make it default, but thanks, this is so much better. I guess that's one issue solved.

Yes, I do indeed see that, no idea how we can vote threads. How are the threads rated as it used to be a drop-down on the top right-hand side?

I'm not sure. I think you just select the number of stars. I didn't ever rate threads before so I don't have a reference to compare.

Check out my followup. There is actually a way you can select which forums to filter to (without having to follow them). If you prefer.

Ya, I tried it out but so far it doesn't seem to work as well as the first way of doing it (by following categories). For now, I'll just stick to the following thing as it works well and that's all that matters to me. I'm glad I can filter out most of the categories as it used to take so long to sift through it all just to find the ones I cared about... and sometimes, I would miss out on the good ones due to poor topic title choice. This one feature feels like a game changer for me.

I just tried Ctrl mouse wheel and it worked. Ctrl + and Ctrl - also work

Of course it works, please read again what I said. I'm looking for an option on the forum itself, not a workaround which works by resizing EVERY website you open in your browser, that's not what I'm asking for. Thanks for understanding!

I am liking it so far.  All the helpful things I relied on appear to be working.

• Unread Content link
  
• Beginning, Last, and choose your own page of a thread
  
• Quoting Feature
  
• Easily readable on mobile
  
• Enhanced profile features
  

The only thing on my wish list is a larger PM limit.  Did that improve by any chance?

 

[Fox]

Oh, I should probably mention this before I forget again... but I cannot edit a post and add a new quoted post to it, it instead overrides the previous post completely.

This would be nice to fix to prevent unnecessary multi-posting.

It would also be nice to have the option to limit how many posts load per page as it can get a little scroll crazy sometimes.

I also tried reporting a post (mainly for testing purposes) and found a few issues. Number 1, the screen flickers like crazy while listening to Youtube content in the background (mainly when Youtube auto-loads the next video)... no idea why it's related. Also, I'm not even sure the Report Post feature works at all cuz I got this message after reporting:

Life stinks and everyone is stinky and stinkiness is all I talk about! Also let me tell you about some time share properties using Korean:

당신이 즐길 콘도는 매우 아름답고 저렴합니다. 삶과 삶의 영광과 사랑입니다. 모든 작업을위한 간단하고 편리한 솔루션입니다. 이 콘도에서 생활하기 전에는 행복하지 않았습니다. 내 저렴한. 무이 코모도. 당신은 섹시한 짐승이 될 것입니다.

(Please try reporting this post--anyone)

Reported!

Hmm, reporting worked that time. Maybe I wasn't fast enough last time and you deleted the post before I could report it leaving an error instead?

also, lol on the Korean translation.

 

[Roland]

I got your report just fine Fox. 

(I wrote it in English then translated it to Spanish and then Russian and then to French and finally to Korean.)

 

[Boidster]

Just testing the poll system.

 

[Roland]

From my perspective there is just no bones about it...

• No-scope headshot = Moderation Tools
  
• blinking Demolisher = Unruly Citizen
  

 

[Boidster]

오류를보고하고 싶습니다.
The contrast on new post titles is kinda weak - light grey text on a white background.
Also, huh, using the Korean IME keyboard it actually posts in a different font even for English. I would not have expected that.


Also also, word-wrapping goes wonky in that Korean/English font so I had to use hard returns.

Hah. And also,

 

[unholyjoe]

why is there no cancel when a person starts posting  but decides to back out?

only option as i had someone tell me is just the "Submit Reply" and that is true.

I've been resorting to hitting the refresh button. Didn't cross my mind to mention it though.

 

[unholyjoe]

yeah i used the backspace once and the F5 for refresh as well.

 

[Roland]

I reported this to Brains. Also for those who are now confused I tried moving Unholy Joe's feedback post to the feedback thread but instead accidentally merged the threads! Still a learning curve but now I know what to do...

As for this....well now we have feedback and poll merged together.

 

[unholyjoe]

glad to help by messing up so you can learn to fix it.
