gorch Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 A whole bunch of deleted mails came back to the message box.
BTMN Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Looks like deleted stuff came back and displaced stuff saved due to time sequence. I'm 97% full and was but stuff kept is gone and other stuff is back. Otherwise no real problems to report other than smilies in old posts did not make the transfer.
burningyen Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 We can try to adjust the settings to make it more like the old board in the good ways people miss but need feedback on what that is or how it could be made better. Let us know.I agree with gorch that the formatting could be a little more efficient with the use of space, especially vertical space. There's quite a bit of unused screen real estate, which makes browsing a little slower.Related to the 1st point, it would be nice to be able to increase the number of posts per page.
gorch Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 It's taking shape. Nice HFC logo appears at the top end.Would it make sense to add a shopping link to address funding on memorability sales? The T-Shirts and mugs I bought recently are quite nice. I'd recommend the link centered between the logo and search at the top.
Steve Haynie Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 It seems there is no flood control-- the mandatory waiting time between posts.
svl Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I'm loving every bit of this upgrade. Browsing time is actually FASTER for me!
MCChris Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 The powers that be probably are way ahead of me on this, but I wouldn't be quick to make adjustments to the visuals. Remember we're largely a bunch of old farts here, who are resistant to change. As long as the functionality is there, everything else is a bonus.The ability to embed YouTube videos alone is an encouraging indication that the HFC has finally arrived in 2011!
burningyen Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Definitely looks nicer on my Blackberry, that's for sure!
ZR Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Thanks to all involved with the change. I like it better than the old board except one thing...it seems too bright for me (that's a lot of white)!!
hikarateboy Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 HAHAHA! (click on the thumbnail above this) Regarding More posts per page I can make that happen but I think you maybe able to do it thru your user settings as well. I will check in to it.
tommy p Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Took just a few visits to start getting used to it, and now I'm starting to discover features that will make life easier. Good job!
gorch Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 It looks like we have lost the birthday list. Any chance to get it back or is it there and I haven't seen it?
lincsman Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks for all your hard work your a true star
hikarateboy Posted November 16, 2011 Author Posted November 16, 2011 I'm getting reports of a number of things that make it over in the conversion. There are a number of Clean Up tools that they ask you to run after and tons of sql conversion that happen during the upgrade.Since the messageboard has over a half million posts I had to run the clean up twice and since I didnt sit there and watch it run I think it may have timed out part of the way thru. Not sure where birthday list happens although I do know that some birthdays made it I think.I will try to run the clean up and conversion routines again to see if it helps. Fingers crossed.
Steve Haynie Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 It would be nice if we had a link to take us to the last post in a thread.
burningyen Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Steve, you do: on the forum page, just click on the dot to the left of the thread (or star if you've posted in the thread before) and it will jump to the last post. It only works if you've viewed the thread since the conversion, though.
kizanski Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 It would be nice if we had a link to take us to the last post in a thread.There are two, actually.If you click on the time under the name of the last user who posted on a thread (in the case of this thread, it said "Today, 08:30 AM" under your name when I visited), it will bring you to the last post in a given thread.If you click on the"bullet point" to the left of a thread, it will bring you to the last unread post.ETA: Great work, Ted!

(Did I miss the news of his return?)
kizanski Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 KIZ IS BACK! (Did I miss the news of his return?)The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I've never left you. Much like a whisper on a breeze or the smell of burnt toast.But more like the burnt toast thing.
Teh Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Clean lines, I like it. Congrats on the upgrade!

Great to have you back topside, less so the now tattooed sig pic of Poe's posterior.

If he doesn't add the burnt toast thing to his signature I am stealing it for myself.
kizanski Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 If he doesn't add the burnt toast thing to his signature I am stealing it for myself.Be my guest, Mr. Martin. No shortage of ready quips here.
