***Official??*** comments/complaints/issues with new upgrade thread...

this is just so we can centralize the issues instead of having a million threads.

new thing i just noticed is the "rating" system. one post in mhl has 5 stars and a few have 1 star and it seems at first glance to be based on the # of replies. maybe its not though, haven't really looked into it.

if it is based on # replies, isn't the flame already for that. if not, then what is it based on?

We already had a rating system. Pay attention!

It just wasn't displayed next to the thread listing before the upgrade. It was always shown at the bottom of an open thread.

I liked it better that way. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I think it's too late to centralize the problems. The rating is based on the average rating by people who elect to do so. If you open the thread, look at the bottom and you can see an option to rate it between 1 and 5 stars.

I had been posting all sorts of issues I dug up in my Signatures thread. I guess this thread is issuesthreads++.

uh, no news yet on the ability to ban users, right?

with the re-instatement of signatures, the pokerprophecy douchebag who has a link in his sig should be banned, and well, impossible as of yet...

Hmm... editing seems to bump threads and register as a new post.

EDIT -

And this post was placed inside the thread in a very odd way.

EDIT 2 -

I'll check back in a few hours. I suspect some of these issues will be fixed by then.

BUT!

I have a bad feeling we will be stuck with the "back" button clearing post data. That is not good, IMO.

I wish we had a similar system for posters. That would handle the whole color issue. (Semi off topic I know.)

What is the file icon on the left beside every Subject for? There seems to be no practical use for it to be there.

Lloyd · #9 10-30-2005, 03:05 PM

Look on the bottom right of the page and you'll see what each of those graphics means. So they do mean something, although it's another unimportant upgrade for the problems that have been caused.

Yeah, apparently that file icon tells you if you the post is "new" based on its color. But you can already tell that based on the background color of the post/ thread, so it seems useless.

EDIT: Oh apparently the background color thing is now only when you are viewing the index for the forum. When you are reading the thread in theraded mode, it's not there anymore and you have to rely on this new file icon. I hate it.
