Looselyhuman Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hi Chris, I notice that you have to go to a user's profile to see their location. It's not in the avatar area or popup user detail. Sometimes this is important information - I miss it almost as much as my "member since" and member #. Thanks for the hard work on this. I know intimately how harrowing a major software upgrade/release can be. --ian Link to comment
eddiecorrea Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Nice way to slap a man for all his hard work. Maybe you should take more then a few hours to adjust and see what works itself out before you insult it. Chris, Thanks for all the hard work your have put into this, and are probably STILL putting into it. Pretty sure everyone is entitled to an opinion right? My opinion is this is a major downgrade. You may like it. But I see that this takes away ALOT of major features that were very nice to have and made the site work very well. I've never understood why people change things that aren't broken and work extremely well. Chris - Thanks for trying to innovate and upgrade the site. I appreciate that you don't just let it die. I'm sure you understand that people won't like the update but that is the name of the game. 1 Link to comment

joeyhatch11 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Love the new upgrade. Great job!!! Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 I know I won't be able to please everyone with these changes, but I am taking all feedback into account, and I'll try to make improvements where possible. Change is difficult, it will take some time for all of us to get used to the new interface, and some time for me to finish refining it. Our new post editor has some issues with editing large posts with lots of photos, I have a request in with the developer to try and find a solution. Unfortunately with it being a holiday week, it may take a little time to get an answer. Where is status visible? Not under the avatar? It appears on your profile page, and on your profile popup window. Link to comment

That is what happens when you develop websites. I've built and maintained a few and you always get people loving changes and people hating changes. I'm apparently one disliking these changes. A major thing for me would be shrinking the spacing on "recent posts" on the front page. It is gonna drive me nuts being so big. Either way I'll adapt. I won't like it as much as the previous version but this community is too good to leave. Link to comment

Try re-sizing, refreshing cache or maybe trying a different device to see if ti changes for you? Maybe the new platform is not formatted for certain browsers. I'm using Chrome on the iMac and looks fine on here. The new site does seem to have more negative space but that could also be a visual perception given that the background is now white.

kdxboy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I have been on this site for like 6 years. I'm also a member of a few other forums (as most on here are). I'm pretty sure this was the best site BEFORE the upgrade....and IMO, this upgrade was done very well. Format looks nice, appears just as easy to use and polished as before....Chris, thanks for all of your hard work!! 1 Link to comment

kveekx Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I like the new layout. Except I hate mobile mode on my iPhone but I hate most mobile versions. But when I do full site on my iPhone it is awesome! Link to comment

metrokat Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 OMG I can hide individual signatures instead of all or none. YESSSSS! I LOVE YOU CM! Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 This would be awesome! I keep getting a "You are not permitted to use that image extension on this community" error when I try to insert images from photobucket. The image extension is .jpg. Click the cog icon in the top right side of the post editor, and select: Paste as plain text by default. Or click the Photo icon in the editor and paste the URL into the dialog box that appears.

Christopher Marks Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 Also, hold the shift key and click your browser refresh button. I applied an update to the post editor software that should resolve this. Link to comment
