MUST READ, board changes.
 

i am having problems accessing the old street scenes board hopefully it has not been discontinued

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

I'm gonna guess that you possibly had that thread bookmarked/saved? If so, the link has changed, but the threads still there...

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

Hey Rob, good job continuing with trying to improve on the change. Change is always tough.

I had several pages of "my favorites" saved on the old forum for future reference. Did we lose those with the change over? If so, is there any way to retrieve them again? I would have printed them out had i known in advance so hopefully they can be found. Thanks.

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

I've had a few others missing their prior favorited threads (myself inluded!), and it's on my list to see if we can import from old-->new...

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

Awesome! Thanks trying Rob!

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

Rob, will the photo gallery with all of our uploaded pictures return? or must everything now be the smaller sized attachments and outside hosts? Thanks and keep up the good work!!

Rob,
Can you add the mouseover preview feature? This shows several lines of the text without have to click on the thread. Easy way to tell if it's a thread you're interested in - was really handy with the old forum.
Pretty sure it's just a checkbox in UBB, but I'm not positive.

Thanks!

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

Rob, when I go to the classifieds on new posts there is no indication on what is new not opened and old stuff......do I have something turned off??

Thnx B.

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

As mentioned previously, clicking on Google search results now take you to main pages instead of the threads themselves but I'm now noticing old threads w/ links to previous threads doing the same thing?.

Do the PM holding tanks keep 200 messages in total regardless of the In/Out ratio...didn't the previous setup have 100/In and 100/Out totals?.

Thanks for all the hard work fellas!.

I've noticed the same thing.

We had it here on the new version briefly, but I thought it was getting too busy, 'cause some of the previewed posts had pictures...but if you guys like it, I can turn it back on, as I'm kind of indifferent.

The new software actually has an integrated gallery feature, but it of course arrives empty...lol! We *finally* got our software license back in our name just this past week after an issue with the Photo Gallery software designers, so we can download/apply the patch, and at least get the old gallery working again (it's still there and viewable!)...but we're trying to come up with a way to import the old pictures/info to the new software, since it's integrated and will keep recieving updates along with the forum software.

Yeah, it's because the classifieds forum doesn't allow replies, so the software calls the &quot;Locked&quot; icon...not sure we have any options there, but I might be able to come up with a workaround (I have an idea, if I can find the time!).

No idea on the Google thing, I'll try and take a look, but it's more than likely something on their end...as for the PMs, I have no idea, but I'll do some digging.

Rob...
Not the Google thing but on the internal link problem...try this as an example..
Click here...
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthrea...0480#Post420480
...then go down the thread to where I posted the link to an old thread here and click on it..
It used to go to the thread but see where it takes you now...same place the Google results do now too?.

On the PM thing, don't bother digging...if it's changed, it's for the better and a good thing!.

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

Put me down as in favor of the &quot;mouse over&quot; preview that Kurt was referring to.

I'd thought it was on a few days ago, but I wasn't sure.
Can you turn it back on and we'll see if people have a problem with the pics preview? Maybe it's possible not to preview the pics, only text??

Also, I think the titles of unread threads were bolded. Now just the number show up on how many new posts there are. Anyway to get the bolding back?

Thanks!! I know you're busy with all these details....

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

Rob, I was using the dark version of the stylesheet option and just went to change my preference to be notified by email on pm's and now all I have is the lighter version and it appears no option to change to the dark version. I thought that was easier on the eyes and much easier to see the unread post folder. Any way to go back to the darker version?

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

I've been patient and kinda held back to see how it was going to work out. I am very happy with the sight now. You've done a very good job.

I've seen multi-million dollar comapnies roll out product change which have been uglier than than this. Thanks for the hard work, and if you're still gonna be at it, maybe I'll can send you some PA brews your way!

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

Someone, in the other board changes thread mentioned the bold lettering on new unread posts...I didn't do that, but unread threads now have shading.

Thanks! The shading really helps.
If you get a chance, the mouseover preview would be great. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

It's actually a number field, representative of how many characters to display in the preview...it's back, and we'll see how it goes.

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

Rob, is there a way you could set this up so a user can turn it off in his preferences if he chooses to do so or does it need to be on for everyone?

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

Nope, it's either all or none.

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

Don't know if there is a way to do a poll or vote on the subject, but I would rather not have it.

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

Nice.....it's back,and I for one missed it.
Thanks Rob.

Re: MUST READ, board changes.
 

Rob...
Any further on the internal link problem?.
I'm surprised other's aren't mentioning it too as I'm finding it almost everywhere you click to link to previous posts?.
It's a shame if these thousands of old links here and on other sites can't take you to these old threads anymore!.

I like the 'mouseover' thing!.

Thanks!.
