Forum Upgrade Issues

Since the upgrade yesterday morning we’ve made a lot of changes and fixes, so I’m starting a new thread to collect any remaining bugs or problems.

Known Issue: Post count not displayed on thread lists.
Status: We will fix ASAP

What else is lurking out there?

if you go to my control panel, the discussion menu, top forums, main cc site column appears on the left, making the page VERY awkward

and then there are the old problems, including

  1. in member profiles, the mysterious “Group Memberships” and “_____ is not a member of any public groups”

  2. the disabled “Event Reminders” in my control panel

OK, we’ve got reply counts back, at least in temporary form.

  • [<em>]Favicon.ico is still the vBulletin default instead of the CC.
    [</em>]The issue Bobert_McCloud pointed out above - all Control Panel pages (including subscribed threads and private messages) have two sidebars that look awkard and take up a lot of room.

That’s not a issue, it’s just that this site has no joinable public user groups and in a users profile they are never listed as belonging to a group.

VB should put something in the FAQ describing what those are for.

I’ve added back the reply count column for posts when your in a sub-forum viewing.

Fixed the favicon, good catch, tanman.

Clicking the “reply” button doesn’t seem to be working on posts unless I right click and open in a new window/tab. I use Mozilla Firefox, but it doesn’t work in IE either.

Hmmm, I see what you mean. We’ll check it out.

Fixed your boo boo, text reply link in posts is now working.

Another suggestion: if the ‘views’ really waste so much space, then why do we have a “searching @ ____ time” or “viewing thread @ _____ time” in the profile?

I really was used to the views, and if views can be accessed by looking at the last post by a person by going to their profile, why not just display it regularly like before? If you search or go to new posts, there’s a huge space simply for the post number. Why not utilize the space and add the view number, like before? I mean, view number is really a main in every forum, and it’s interesting to see how many view a thread, or if not so many people view it, you can view it and possibly offer some advice.

Just my 2 cents. Otherwise, the forum (really love the new editing feature) has some great upgrades.

the space isnt for the post number, its the word “REPLIES” above that column that makes it that wide.

that was the reason i removed it to unclutter the rest of the page and allow ample space for the left column & ads, but forum members wanted it back up.

Just saw this on the parent’s forum: You can view number of views by moving your mouse over the last poster’s name

I don’t know if I’m the only one experiencing this problem, however, whenever I try to edit a post the following message appears:

You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
You are not logged in. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and try again.
You may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else’s post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Consequently, I am asked to login again and then go back to the thread to edit my post. The whole process has become very tedious. Again, I’m not sure if this problem is specific to myself or others on CC.

You only have 20 minutes after posting a post to edit it.

Only 5 minutes to edit the title of a new thread.

Err yeah, post number, i meant number of replies.

Ooookay so no more view number next to reply count…:frowning:

What about the control panel bar and the side bar now scrunching up the PMs? Before there was only one bar right? That was efficient.

Also…unconfirmed private message receipt doesn’t work. So…if you send someone a PM, you can’t see if they read it or anything.

I’m waiting well under 20 minutes to edit the post. I guess the problem was just exclusive to myself.

Over the last few days something is weird about the “new post” funcationality form. For example, I logged in for the first time in 18 hours this morning, hit the new post link, and got a message telling me there were no new posts since I last was in CC. Since the upgrade I’ve many similar experiences where the forum seems to think I am a lot more current than I am on the discussions.
