New forum! Post bugs & errors in here *CHECK FIRST POST FOR ISSUES FIRST - P.S. THE MM IS OPEN*

Status
Not open for further replies.
Also missing:

Last page (rather, or in additoin to Go to First Unread).
Post Reply (at the top of the old forum there was a link to Post Reply which jumped you straight to a reply, rather than scrolling all the way down to post a reply which isn't a quote).
Hot keys to reply don't work (Alt + S on windows used to submit the post. There's no clickable keybaord shortcut for this)
 
Just realised all of the forum titles seem to be oddly bolded?

Guys, please just spend the rest of today making it as similar to the old forum layout and fonts as possible. Thanks. :)
 
On the whole I like the changes but would be nice to see the post like button.

The forum index page could do with the latest post in each forum category having a wider box as there's a lot of wasted space next to the forum category titles and not much of the latest post information is shown.

I think the 'New' notation on the top right of the post body would look better if it were positioned higher, next to the post count and facebook icon, as the top right corner would seem a more natural place to grab ones attention.

I like the drop shadow under the avatars and think the rest of the thread styling could do with being less flat and less narrow black lines around boxes.

The post body font size seems a little smaller than it used to be.

The post body buttons 'Report', 'Trust', '+ Quote', 'Reply' look awful, they look chiseled inward when I view the forum on my Windows tablet using Edge. Would look nicer if they were all the same size and proper buttons rather than hypertext links inside a box. Also they could do with anchoring to the bottom margin of the post body rather than being in different vertical positions on some posts.

In my inbox I noticed for each of the two old forum infraction messages that I have, there's 3 duplicates for each one.

If i click on 'Your Content' in my user context menu it doesn't show my posts ordered by date with most recent at the top or most recently had additional posts added to those threads.

Could do with the option for the user to select their own theme since only the end user will see it rather than it changing the site for everyone I don't understand why the current blue style can't be the default until such time the user chooses their own style.

Apart from that it looks OK to me, not dissimilar to the old one but with some nice new features.

The word "new" covers the top right corner of posts and blanks out words. Also horrible black quick reply window.

I really can't believe how much whinging is going on. Some one has spent quite a bit of time on this, and there's a load of massive neckbeards whinging about rubbish because they have a hard time with change.

It's very clearly a work in progress. Get a grip and stop bitching.
 
I've had a break over lunch and come back to it, and still really don't like it. I appreciate things like this aren't simple, but why set it live with so many known issues? Feels like a huge step backwards in the current state - a horrible hybrid of new format and features melded with a desire to try and keep it loosely roughly as it did before.
 
Needs work. The design looks like a school project.

Less is more, go for a minimal design. None of these fancy drop shadows.

If I could like this post I would click the like button, but I cannot like it because there is no like button. Therefore I am forced to simply say that I like this post instead.
 
Sorry chaps, don't like it, the old one was more minimal, easier to navigate and easier on the eyes :(

I now can't close the sections of the forums I don't browse, for example I never go near Hardware so normally have it closed as it's a lot of scrolling to get to Life.

Less dropshadows and black borders around all the boxes and it might be okay!

On the bright side, I can now view it on mobile :)

It's here!

/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!

Please, look at the first post in this thread for a list of things reported so far. We just keep seeing the same thing over and over again in here.
