There's now a button, at the very bottom of the page where it's giving you the list of forums: e.g. Home > Forums > Life > General Discussion - there's a button at the very end of that box - click that and you get quick jump between forums functionality.



Yes, posts, threads. Although I wouldn't call this a 'members' forum, its not as though if you don't have an account you can't read anything, the forum is open to those to read, which for whatever reason don't want to sign up.

But I don't see the point in the FB function

We have no like button on the forum itself but yet one can share links to be liked or disliked on social media?

/edit - Certain things we're aware of which don't need re-reporting.
    1. Users in MM cannot close their own thread
    2. 20 posts per page default
    3. No spoiler button
    4. No edit button for users
    5. "New" tag overlapping original posts. Quotes are fine
    6. The "you've posted" in this thread icon is no longer there
    7. Drop shadow around user avatar box is gash
    8. Swear filter showing BBcode instead of ****
    9. Font colour change icon could do with some colour. Appears to look like the underline tool
    10. Total number of members not comparable to VB?
    11. Font for upper most menu (username etc) is in Times New Roman
    12. Do we need the RTM forum if RTMs are going to "Reports" anyway?
    13. When the notification pops up to tell you that there's a new alert you can't seem to dismiss it? Clicking on the x just takes you to the top of the page where the alerts are located
    14. A few subforums missing; Wanted, Football Stadium and Cycling in sports etc
    15. No usernotes for users
    16. Some usernames are caught in swear filter when quoted
    17. Only Spie showing as Staff member
    18. Vendor rep / OcUK staff title not showing for respective usergroups
    19. "Most likes" is still a section if you go in to "Notable Members"
    20. No collapsible forums
    21. Threads which have triple digit numbers of pages (100+) aren't displaying correctly i.e. without overlapping
    22. Notification that each forum contains new posts is too subtle - needs colour i.e. OcUK logo
    23. Underbosses not showing in the correct usergroup although avatar is correct
    24. White font on white background when adding or editing a "tag" for a thread
    25. PMs and deleting messages for users is turned on by default
    26. Clicking on the latest post takes you to the latest post, rather than the last unread post
    27. Alerts working on quotes, but doesn't appear to be on mentions.
    28. Dividing line between message body and signature is shifted right, not in line with sig.
    29. Black edit/reply boxes really need to have a blue background, they look really badly out of place.
    30. User titles are wrong in "People you follow". For example, Maccy is a Don, shows as Capo
This list is not exhaustive but please, don't keep reporting them, we know!

OK, I've had a quick read through, but I think the moderation tools to lock and unlock threads is available to me in the MM and I'm not a mod, unless.....

Awwww you guys! I knew I'd get there someday! :D

No but srsly, I tried locking a thread and unlocking it, it seems to place the padlock on it.

FYI - I've left the threads as they were, went and unlocked a thread from 2011 and it seems to do it.

TBH would be nice to have the power, so many finished threads left unclosed from years ago :o

- Can only turn off Avatars AND Signatures not one or the other
- Mouseover on the buttons above the quick reply box is unreadable (remains black but switches the background to dark blue)
 
I hope to god OcUK didn't pay for someone to design this, it looks prehistoric. Who thought it would be a good idea to put an enormous drop shadow next to our avatars? Or this hideous bevel emboss/gradient effect? You need some serious QA in the design department, looks like a toddler made this
 
Is there some setting I need to alter to start receiving e-mail alerts again for postings in threads i am watching? Since the new look forum was made live I have stopped receiving them.
I checked I have "watch thread" checked, in fact I unchecked it and checked it again later, to see what happened. What I cannot see is an option to receive e-mail alerts though...
Thanks.

We have no like button yet on the forum. The functionality is there;

If people want to share a post - for example the recent great community work for Ryan; perfect for this - if you don't want to use it either adblock the function, or remove it from the css :)

This is my main gripe about the whole situation, ocuk has a huge resource disposal at their command, either by hiring professional designers or contacting out to experts, yet they've taken the cheap option of trying to handle it all in house with people who really don't know what they are doing.

Hell, even opening up the beta site which has been around since at *least* september (as they posted various help questions on styling at the XenForo forums) so the actual members could give critical feedback and get things sorted is just a simple, basic way of ensuring quality.
