STRAT Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 POke around a bit and see how you can see user profiles and such. Let me know what you see. If there is no way to edit the stuff you used to be able to, I will look at upping the permissons. hmmm, i cant see a 'thread tools' option, neither can i see how to, for example, delete users, disable posting for users, edit user's profiles. like we could before [edit] sorry, i see the thread tools [edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojciech Klepacki Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Wow Jeff, thanx!!! Great job. Now forum runs under Mozilla Firefox rgds, Wojciech Klepacki P.S. Very impressive improvements. I like the new design, new (working) appload manager, and finally the notification type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 unless i've missed any of ur comments, but looking in the cinema 4d forum, its only showing 5 posts. where'd the others get to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 another problem, again, unless i've missed something - i'm using the "new posts" option to show todays active posts, like in the previous forums. but the list of active post seems to be getting shorter and shorter as time goes on. this morning i have 6 new posts indicated. now it only shows 3! i've checked the 'show threads from last day' in the user cp, but no joy.

I'm going to have to look into this one. I do see that if you are online. 900 seconds later any unread posts are marked as read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STRAT, ok it's been fixed. The New Posts link has two options. One is Get New (which means it only gets the posts that you have not read or posts that have not been automatically been marked read due to inactivity) the other is Get Daily, which behaves like the other forum used to by rotating off posts over a 24 hour period. Be sure to set your time zone in your user profile so that it works as expected. Let me know if this is ok now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Burden III Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I was bothered by the top avatars, too, I just didn't want to complaign. The problem with it was that it was unclear who was saying what. Thank you for restoring the left avatars. Otherwise, so far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 (hmmm, doesn't look like the 'view post number of times' option is up to scratch properly. i've numerously visited certain posts a number of times over the last 20-30 mins to test, with no increase in the number) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted March 8, 2004 Author Administrators Share Posted March 8, 2004 I've just enabled similar thread searching. Once you post a message to an existing thread it will do a search for similar threads and list them. Let me know how it works for you. It may not work on all posts.

I can do it real-time, but it is apparently very server intensive and not reccomended for busy forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jape Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Very nice indeed, glad you sorted out the avatars being on top... I have just two questions/crits; Is it possible to quickreply at once without having to push the reply button, this way you actually can reply quick, i find the "first push reply then write and reply" a bit cumbersome, i know another forum im participating in wich has a "direct" quickreply, wich works like a charm... Also i think the new posts icons on the left of the main forum area aren't as clear as they were on the last forum (wich had a clearly visible yellow color for new posts), but i gues you can't change that... Other than that it looks great, search feauture is indeed so much better !!!, Keep up the good job Jeff!!!!!!, Jape, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that it looks great, search feauture is indeed so much better !!!, Keep up the good job Jeff!!!!!!, Jape,Jape, The reason for clicking on the icon opposed to just quick replying is because if you view the forum threaded, vB needs to know what posts were in reply to which others. Change the views to see what I mean Though I know what you mean by a quick reply ------------------ Jerry vB Development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Burden III Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 The new search is great! Nice and fast, I love it! It sure is! This weekend I had searched for something that I KNEW was posted earlier, I just coundn't find it, but the old board could not locate it. I tried several ways, finally gave up. The new search located the post almost instantly. Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deibel Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 new member, first post. this site is a wonderful resource; i've been reading, watching, and admiring for quite some time. i have not seen this issue posted: i am not able to link directly to the forum from the 'latest forum posts' column on cgarchitect homepage. instead i recieve a message indicating that the forum has been upgraded. is this something that is only temporary to let people know that the forum has changed, or is there something i am not doing?

kingeldar Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 indeed those links are from before upgrade and were certainly not updated... so u don't do anything wrong don't seem to have that fuctionnality for now in new forums (last posts on home page) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigth now you should update your book marks to either www.cgarchitect.com/forum or www.cgarchitect.com/vbI think he is talking about on the homepage, the forum / Latest forum posts section under up close section. They are not linking to the latest posts. If you click any of the posts, says "We have upgraded our forum and it can now be found at: http://www.cgarchitect.com/forum Please upadate your bookmarks.

Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted March 9, 2004 Author Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2004 OK! Now I know what you meant. Yeah I forgot about that. I've just fixed it. Once I learn how to do RSS newsfeeds I'll integate a more feature ladden version into the new site. For now I've just done one that lists the latest posts.
