[zeth]

[WIGuide]

Looks great @Glenn! Keep up the good work!

[badhatharry]

At first blush......looks great!!!    However, looks like I need a new avatar.

Glenn thanks for explaining the topic stacking issue. Your suggestion fixed it.

And, for some reason when I click on "quote" to respond to a post or comment I can not cancel or clear out the quote request if I choose to delete it before posting it.

I have tried to simply delete the text in the box, but I can not get rid of the quote box. And if I can not cancel out the quote request, it prevents me from moving on to the next comment I want to quote.

Just trying to figure this new forum out! Thanks!

Glenn,

I was finally able to use the mobile version.  It does not work well for me.

Keep in mind that I run a Blackberry 8320 and Opera browser, not Android.  It's old technology.  I have thought of upgrading and may do so.  Last time I went to upgrade, I couldn't find an Android phone with physical QWERTY keyboard.

I don't expect much from this meshing of technology, and I don't get much.  The icons for View New Content, Like, and a few others are just small black boxes, leaving me to guess what they might be.  Others options are entirely absent. 

I'm not complaining -- like I said, old technology -- but this might give you an idea as to what a few others might be seeing if they're not running newer phones with Android.

Regards,

Josh

Looks good, thanks guys.

It's not my style, I don't like the open concept systems like apple pushed, but it's not my forum.

 

I thought the other version was perfect, I'm just one voice though...

At first I thought the site had been hacked(LOL), this looks awesome. This site never fails to amaze!! 

[senile1]

I think the forums - mobile and desktop - look great!  I haven't been able to test everything yet but I am pretty sure I will be adequately satisfied with the new features.

I decided to do some browsing before I gave an opinion, so now after about 30 minutes of doing so, here are my thoughts. 

Overall: LOVE IT! Love the instant notifications, love the ease of posting pictures, love the overall fresh look. 

The only con I have is that a lot of the previously posted pics are gone. Look at the "Show off your stuff" thread, for example. It may just be me but a lot of the pics on there aren't showing.

How can I find My Content?

[Darren.]

Clean design, good fonts. Smooth. I like it.

Will take a little getting used to stuff, but
not a big deal.

[RAMBLER]

I am so computer NOT savvy that when I read your description of the new changes, I don't understand a word you said.  I will probably get use to the new site as I use it.

[ncbassfisher1496]

I may have missed this, but is there a way to only view unread posts instead of having to find the last one you read? I know the last mobile version just automatically took me to the first unread post. Thanks

[Senko lover]

I also love the fact that you can now see where topics have been moved.

Thanks guys for all your hard work getting the update and now fixing glitches. Really appreciate the effort.

[geo g]

Thanks Glen for all your hard work.  The success of this site is directly do to the leadership at the top.  You have created a great site that will continue for years to come.

[HoosierHawgs]

Enjoying the new format. Having similar format from desktop to mobile that still looks and works intuitively on the mobile is awesome. Don't have to reload pages to like post is plus as well. Also enjoying the new editor. All in all nice OS you've got here. No kinks for me so far. Fresh, clean look. Much more intuitive design and interface.

[Jolly Green]

I like it, nice job Glenn and team.  Will there be a grammar filter or is that still just Long Mike?

[Jd_Phillips_Fishin]

How do I find all of my old 'liked' posts?

[slonezp]

Took me all evening to figure out how to log in. Old site I had to have the compatibility view on my computer set to on, had to turn it off to get the new site to work. Just figured out log in on the mobile version as well. Kept hitting the sign in button and it kept kicking me out....then I put my glasses on. I was hitting the sign up button It's hell getting old

Here are a few options I did in a video: 

screencast_2015-12-19_15-32-56.mp4

Sum it up: 

1. Must select the outside wrapper of the quote then backspace.

2. CMD/Ctrl + right click will give you editor options. 

3. Which I didn’t show in a video, click source delete the code.

I suspect you mean "followed" posts. 

To find those, look in the upper right above the search field.  See your name there with a little down arrow next to it?  Click it.  Then click on "Manage Followed Content".

[Big C]

All right, honestly I was not a fan of the changes at first.  But, after spending some time figuring it all out, the changes are awesome.  I especially like the new way to see the first and last post of a thread, where you let the cursor hover over the topic header and you can take a peek at the content.  And the new way to get to the first unread post in a thread by clicking on the green dot or star next to the topic. 

Nice job Glenn, you made some great improvements.

I guess I'm looking for a way to set it so if I comment on any thread at any point - I want to see if a new comment has been made.

When you post a comment, there's a toggle to the left of the "submit reply" button that says "Notify me of replies".

 

[FloridaFishinFool]

Hello Glenn! Thanks for all your help in getting to know the new format better.

I wanted to ask you about one small issue I was hoping could be tweaked moving forward...

A lot of us come back to a thread we may have commented on or are following without actually asking the forum to track it or follow it for us. And when I click on a thread title that has multiple pages of comments, it takes me right back to page 1 every time, and then I have to search through the thread and sometimes backtrack the thread going backwards to locate the last place where I left off reading.

Is there a way to click on a thread title and have it land on the last page I was reading with the beginning of the latest updated comments rather than on page 1 every time?

Ideally, if this could be programmed into the forum for operational purposes, it would be a convenience for us when we click on the title of a thread we are following that it takes us directly to the beginning of newest comments we have not read yet- on any page.

Not sure if such a thing is possible but I thought I would mention it. I have some catching up to do with your other solutions mentioned above...
