SITE QUESTIONS AND FIXES ETC..

[RiverDave]

i don't have much constructive feedback, but it sucks from a computer. I don't access it from a phone, but pictures aren't shown in threads and and I have to click on them. Everything just seems more clunky, but I'm probably not not your "normal" user.

Currently there is two ways to display a photo thumbnail or full size.. that is up to the poster.

We are removing the thumbnail option and just making the full size automatic. One of the things that was decided via this thread!

 

[Rvrluvr]

One thing I thought was cool with the old site is when you had people "thank" you it would show everyone individual. So if something smart or witty was said you had a big list of people below your post. Now it will show 2-3 and say 25 others likes this. IMO it was cool to see the big list of people under your post, kinda like a standing ovation or the crowd going wild when you do something bitchen.

IDUNNO, maybe its stupid but I think it would be cool to see the whole list of people that pushed the like button.

Honestly that whole thanks and like button causes more drama then it's worth.

People seem to like it though and they pay attention to who liked what and who didn't..

I like it. It's a good way to acknowledge a post without cluttering up the thread with a reply.

 

[boatnam2]

Can you delete a thread you have posted or change the title?

 

[RiverDave]

Hey Dave I really like the new site on my mobile and I still hate tapetalk. My one request is can we get a new post button down towards the bottom of the page?

I'm just curious.. why would you want this?

 

[MSum661]

I no longer am Santa on the top of an Alfa doing donuts around a street..don't know if that gets restored at some point??

LOL.....just not the same without Santa doing donuts in a Alfa. That was funny shit right there!

X2... helps to eliminate some of the thread crapping

I like all the updates. My only request like it’s been mentioned on the app is a "new post" button. Well done Dave.

 

[BDMar]

No matter what size I make my profile pic is doesn't fit???

The app is going to take awhile to change anything because it's third party. I am making a list to send to the guy though.

Your avatar?

 

[BHC Vic]

Maybe somebody already asked but is there a way for me to see only threads I’ve participated in. Some times new posts or recent are cluttered with bullshit

Are you logged in? I notice pics show up after I've logged in.

Unless I missed it, from a PC standpoint, I liked the drop down list of sections to click to that was at the bottom of the page. It saved me 2 long, tiring clicks to go to a different section.

Another site I'm on runs a string of options for "rating" a post.
From left to right, like, agree, disagree, funny, pure genius, empathy, appreciate, and I was wondering that too.

A quick look at a persons ratings overall gives a hint of what kind of poster they are.

When you reach the bottom of a page of comments, you have to scroll all the way back to the top to click new posts.

If at some point, we will be able to see more comments per page, then it will really suck.

 

[DRYHEAT]

I'm just curious.. why would you want this?

Mainly so I don’t have to scroll to the top of the page, there’s already two “new post” buttons at the top of the page, I usually scroll down and when I’m done with the thred hit the new post button. My poor finger gets tired. LOL

 

[BDMar]

Your avatar?

Yes

 

[River Runnin]

Looking at some old posts...The embedded videos just show coding. No link or video.

 

[Joker]

When searching for a past post, can you put the most recent ones at the top in lieu of having to look at posts from 2000 or whatever the year is when this deal started?

Haha that's exactly why I asked.

Note: If you're on an iPhone double tap the clock/time up top and it will spring your page to the top.

Yeah I believe there’s been a few requests in this thread. I don’t know if it’s a pain in the ass to do or not.

If things aren’t fixed exactly the way I want it in two weeks I may not be back

 

[JBS]

Dave in the app the font is way to small for this old guy. It does not appear to work with I think its called dynamic scaling. Yes I have it turned on works in my texts

Click your own avatar or screen name and you can click on messages or the number of messages and it will show you all of your posts.

 

[RiverDave]

So far with it all being new things seem great.
Only thing I’ll bring up as i just hit “read new posts” rather then enter specific forum sections. When you hit read new it doesn’t include ones you’ve just posted yourself into or you’re own threads until someone else posts or comments on the same thread.

I'm not sure I'm understanding this.. If you were the last person to post in the thread, then there wouldn't be any new posts in the threads so why would it display it? New posts are new posts from the last time you posted I believe?

The images are a bit hit and miss sometimes.
Sometimes theyre a good size then next theyre tiny.

 

[Taboma]

Seems to be a lot of duplicate images being displayed.

Fixing that shortly..

 

[RiverDave]

If you push the full res button while they are uploading it wil do that.. that whole deal revolves around just getting rid of the thumbnails which is on the list

You should go public with it Frank Holbert style.

On a windows computer hit the 'home' key on a mac, hit 'command' and 'up arrow' and it will take you to the top

How do I get more posts per page?

How do I get more posts per page?

It's a global setting on this software and I have the guys changing it shortly.

[RiverDave]

Current list of fixes for the Coders.. This is all just for the forum and not the app.

Forum Changes Please

Get rid of the thumbnails - Full size images only.
Get rid of the thumbnail / full size button on upload
Add a new post button at bottom of page (decent size)
Add a # in red in the new post button that shows how many new posts there are
Double the amount of threads per page (possible to change this to a user setting?)
Double the amount of posts per page (possible to change this to a user setting?)
Make it so when you hover over a thread it shows you a preview of the first post
Please make a "Post Reply" button at top left - should take you to text box.
Please change "Post Reply" in text box to "Submit Reply"
Please show us how to hide the Politics forum in the new posts.
Please add more emoji's (good ones)
Change color of sticky's so that they don't look like all the other threads. Or make them look different somehow
All Avatars are "blurry" even when I zoom in on them they are blurry. Plus no matter what size you make an image it gets cropped off when you upload it
Text size shrinks when it is quoted. Please make it the same size as the text that is posted.
Enable Signature pics (upload direct to site)
Restrict size for signature pics for both uploaded image and linked images (some members have huge signatures)

For some reason when you upload certain pics from an I phone it will claim the image is too large and fail on upload - does site automatically resize image when uploaded?
SEO Concern - for awhile all forum url's had the word "xenforo" in it. Did that hurt our SEO? Is website currently SEO optimized?
Member complaint - Used to be able to "copy" a photo from somewhere else and place into a post. Now that feature doesn't work
Member online stats - Will we be able to display "users online" like the old forum? (Please advise on this)
Show me where I can change / edit the factory "User Titles"
Old forum used to list all people that thanked / liked a post under the post. New forum shows a couple and then says "25 others" etc.. Possible to show all users?
Create a button in the Nav Bar somewhere "My Recent Posts"
Hover over "Forums" button should drop down a navigation list of all forums

Possible to change the wording on Xenforo in various spots? It says "messages" in some places and "posts" in others.. I'd rather just have it say "Posts" everywhere
How do you subscribe to a thread without actually posting in it?
See Post # 124 in this thread (Not logged in can't click last post)
Create a Log Out button that is more visible
Is "Invisible Mode" an option on Xenforo? Many people are at work and don't want screen names shown while watching online

 

[havasujeeper]

Good job Dave. these XenForo transitions are a real pain in the arse, and I (we) appreciate all your effort.

 

[crzy2bealive]

how do I get 100 posts to show on one page instead of having a million pages to go through

I've been asking this since day one....HOW DO YOU CHANGE WHERE IT SAYS "WELL-KNOWN MEMBER"?

 

[Mr. C]

Did i just miss it or how do upload pictures from my phone fullsize instead of a thumbnail??

Click your avatar on the toolbar up top by "Inbox."

I think you can change everything there.

Go into your profile, select 'contact details' then enable two factor authentication. Once that's done, it adds an option to create custom user title. Or at least that's when I found mine. It wasn't there before I enabled TFA.

Don't actually do this.

I admit it you got me. I tried it.

Somehow my custom user title followed me to the new site.

 

[Mr. C]

Why do I get email notifications (But only from my phones post) Is there a way to turn that off in the APP?
