"Upgrade" doesn't tell you how many new posts there are in a thread [Archive]

Cool feature:

Long links no longer destroy threads. The software truncates them. Example:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/newrep...part=1&vc=1 (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/newreply.php?Cat=0&Board=exchange&Number=3814084&p age=0&what=showflat&fpart=1&vc=1)

Semi cool feature: Rating displayed on thread listings

agreed, I just turned them off. but I am considering adding an incredibly annoyingly long signature that everyone else will have to look at.

edit: I like the rating, but agree that not seeing how many new posts are in a thread sucks. Is anyone relaying this feedback to Chuck?

No. I am doing this from IE now, and getting a JavaScript error from the UBB code inserts.

StevieG

10-30-2005, 12:57 PM

There is at least one javascript error on the page.

The doPrompt() function includes a String assignment with an unescaped double quote in the text. This may be causing all the Javascript to fail. (emphasis added)

var thisTitle = prompt("Now enter the title of the webpage you wish to reference. For instance, if you are linking to the URL for UBBCentral, you might use the title "UBBCentral Homepage."", "web page");

StevieG

10-30-2005, 01:05 PM

OK just tested this locally with IE6 and Firefox. If Mat or anyone with admin privilege could chang this line

from

var thisTitle = prompt("Now enter the title of the webpage you wish to reference. For instance, if you are linking to the URL for UBBCentral, you might use the title "UBBCentral Homepage."", "web page");

to

var thisTitle = prompt("Now enter the title of the webpage you wish to reference. For instance, if you are linking to the URL for UBBCentral, you might use the title 'UBBCentral Homepage.'", "web page");

that is, change those unescaped double quotes to single quotes, then all will be right with the UBB code inserts.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but just was wondering what the new features of the forum upgrade were?

So far, we have folder icons next to topics (no idea why), polls can be made in response to OP, stock avatars to choose from, limitation on number of PMs, no more edit button next to posts that aren't yours, and jumping to first unread post at the top of the thread.

Anything I am missing?

MrWookie47

10-30-2005, 11:38 PM

The links to move between pages at the bottom are now on the right instead of the left. There have been a lot of changes to the administration portion of the site. Mostly, it's that everything works faster.

10-31-2005, 12:44 AM

for the following changes, which have no bearing on performance issues, but suck from a usability standpoint:

- colored folder icon as unread post indicator sucks. the old way of shading and bolding unread posts was perfect. made it very easy to scroll through the thread tree and note new posts.

- jumping to the most recent post when clicking main post link is awful. if i wanted to jump to the most recent post, i'd click on the 'most recent post' link that already exists 5 inches to the right of the main post link.

- for some reason, using back button doesn't go back to the same spot on previous page anymore; it just goes to the top of the page. when browsing in threaded view, this is a horrible annoyance.

i don't mind the other changes made, such as going to reverse chrono order in threads, or whatever else is different. these 3 items i've listed above, though, bring the usability of the forum down by an order of magnitude.

10-31-2005, 01:10 AM

This whole new system sucks. I view in threaded, and posts I havent read yet are no longer bolded, and there is no semblance to order based on date whatsoever. Its like the posts are just randomly mixed and matched in a jumbled line. 2+2 is barely readable at this point.

Ok, another thing that's pissing me off. Whenever I make a post, my firefox stops on the addpost.php page. It registers my post, and adds it to the thread, but I have to click on my 2p2 link again in order to see the forums, otherwise I just stay at a blank white page.

Well, I do see it. Also, when I have to log in, I get a blank page for the main ubbthreads.php page. I'm using firefox 1.0.7. Whatever, this sucks and isn't worth the aggravation. Someone IM me when 2p2 isn't [censored] up anymore.

You should be able to if you've been on at least once since the upgrade.

The highlighting of unread posts in threaded mode is not on at the moment, so you'll have to take note of the little folder icons.

Ok the date arrangement is now fixed

But it says on the main page that I havent read (5) messages in this thread (bolded in red), and when I click on the thread I do not see any of those 5 messages in bold and have no idea which ones they were.

It does show that, but not in the way it did before the upgrade. The little folder icons aren't a quality alrternative to the previous unread 'bolding'.

It shows me a yellow folder if that post is new, yes...but it was a hell of a lot easier to quickly scroll down a thread and see what posts were new by which ones were in BOLD . Does anyone not agree??

And to think I spent time trying to help you people. Flat mode is relatively fine.

How could it possibly matter if posts are bolded or not in flat mode? Since I was a threaded user before the upgrade, someone will have to explain how this would be a big deal.

okay, i have no idea which is "flat" and which is "threaded." I use it in "collapsed" mode if I just want to see what's new....if I'm reading a whole thread, I "open" it up so I can read them all without clicking on each post...so whichever one is "collapsed," that's the one I use.

And yes, I KNOW it says threaded or flat up top, but does it mean that the one you're in NOW is in flat or does it mean that you can click on "flat" and THEN you'll be in flat mode??

PLUS, the words "threaded" and "flat" do not describe very well either mode!

See my confusion?

I just switched to infopop 2, and while cool, once I've clicked on a thread, new posts are no longer bold.

Also, in my own "Dr. Dom tries X" thread, it says in red there are three new replies, but when I click on the thread, not only are there no bolded posts, all the folders are the same color!

I've identified the three main problems people are having with the new software.

1) The search

2) The back button

3) Threaded mode differences, including unread posts no longer being highlighted.

Everything else is pretty minor.

Seriously people, threaded is only useful if you want to link back to a specific post. Otherwise it will grow hair in places you don't want it.

I'm pretty sure that Dom never would have nailed Sky Lopez if she knew about the threaded thing.

Yes, it reeks. I realised today that you do a search on a user, go into the first on the list say, hit the back to see the list, and it's gone and you have to wait several minutes.
