New forum upgrade

[splashpot]

Changes I've noticed so far.

-you can see the rating level of a thread
-signatures are enabled
-long links no longer ruin a thread by making it too wide
ex: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...e=0#Post2821605 (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=2821605&an=0&page=0#Post 2821605)
-you can create polls within replies

You guys notice anything else?

Can only search back 4 months /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[pergesu]

There are little folder icons next to the threads in the display list, looks like. Not sure what those are but whatever.

The big thing I've noticed is that it fucked up the search. If you do a search and then hit back, it says "You cannot make another search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes." lame

edit: I mean if you do a search, then click one of the threads, and then click back. So now you gotta open each thread in a new tab/window.

What about the poll feature?

[Newt_Buggs]

I think that all polls are useless.

Seems one is taken to the first unread message in a thread rather than to the first message.

[/ QUOTE ]Not for me, it didn't. I notice that the threads are not arranged by time, too. For instance, my post is listed first after your opening post (at the moment) even though there were other replies before mine. (This probably is differentr for us because I view them threaded and you view them flat.)

Sigs are enabled again? Sweet. Better reread the T&C before it gets taken away again.

This account has over 1000 less PMs and is still over the limit.

Anyone know what the limit is? I suspect backing this lot up may take a while /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Lori

[mmbt0ne]

PM limit seems to be 200.

Also, whenever I click on a thread, then click the back button, it takes me to the top of the forum, not where I was. That sucks.

[Lori]

Thanks /images/graemlins/laugh.gif /images/graemlins/confused.gif

So far I have backed up 25.... so I'm 1% of the way to being able to get them again......

Emoticon buttons work again, so forumbot should be okay.

Lori

[Lori]

Rather than click back, I think there's a button marked "Back to search results" or something like that where the "search" and "index' buttons usually are.

[bennies]

rating a thread is plain stupid

[otctrader]

I commonly search the forum or archives by poster name; now it caps the results at 200, so if you have a prolific poster that made more than 200 posts within 4 months, you have to play with date ranges (takes forever, i.e. later than 4 weeks, earlier than 6) to figure out how to see those posts.

Before, it would just spit out a chronological sequence of posts 100 at a time, and each time you clicked "next" you get the next 100 posts.

Does anyone know who handles feedback for this kind of thing on the 2+2 administrative side?

[DrPhysic]

In doing a search, I did not find the post I wanted, guess what? The "back" button does not go back to the search any more. And then...

I put the search in a second time and get:
"You cannot make another search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes."

Stinking lousy "Upgrade". Downgrade to what we had before, PLEASE.

Do you guys know what the character limit on signatures is? It keeps saying that the one I want to enter is too long. But you guys have much longer ones.

[SumZero]

I'm no longer seeing unread posts in a different color (firefox).

I've noticed that read messages don't always appear as read. Often when I go from the thread listing to the thread to read one new message, then go back to the thread list, the thread shows as having an unread message. (And no, this is not because a new message appeared during the process.)
