pinkun_admin 5 Posted October 31, 2018 The new forum is now live (yes we know, at last!) and we're keeping an eye on it to make the migration as smooth as possible. This topic is here for you to post your feedback, good and bad, so we can look at any issues that arise and fix any bugs that we may have missed during development. So please let us know of any issues you've spotted and any feedback you have on the new software. Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cornish sam 1,031 Posted November 1, 2018 Slightly disappointed that the non-football section remains separate and it isn't just a filtered option in the main discussion bit. Personally would like to have a bit more general chat in the forum but this bit is a graveyard (as evidenced by 10 views of this thread and no replies). Having said that really good job on getting everything transferred, it is a definite improvement albeit slightly garish a tone of pink on my phone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,928 Posted November 1, 2018 I agree, seems ultra restrictive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,778 Posted November 2, 2018 I really like it, the layout is simple and clear and the non-football section is easy to get to if people want that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Browno 37 Posted November 2, 2018 I see the local football threads are still available on search, but cannot view any, can these forums not remain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or if you're on a computer rather than a mobile, if you hover your mouse over the users name a new box should popup, then click on the 'Ignore User' link: Not that you'd want to ignore Pete, of course...

SwindonCanary 457 Posted November 2, 2018 A lot more blue on this board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted November 2, 2018 Unlike the old board, new posts don't bring threads back to the top of the board, they remain where they were before posting. This means whenever we have a poor run and the board goes into meltdown after each defeat, good threads will be rapidly pushed down the board and off the front page. I'm thinking particularly of the Ray's Funds thread here but several threads with good informed and reasoned debates could go the same way. It needs changing Pete. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molly Windley 76 Posted November 2, 2018 Looking good so far for me, just need to get used to the new features. Should have asked for a "back to top" click box after the last post on each thread but did not think of it at the time. A pin for Rays Funds threads would be good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane 500 Posted November 2, 2018 Agree with Lapps, the settings need changing so the threads are in order of the last post, as he said Ray's Funds was posted on only a short time ago but is still way down. I love the new board, so much better to use and that's before we find all the new features 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,203 Posted November 2, 2018 It's great, but yes it does really need threads to go to the top when they have new posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a divide between the posts from the old forum and the new one so will sort itself out over time but seeing if we can get a fix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have an even simpler question. What does an Ignore button do? Does it mean that person's posts won't be visible to me? It would be good if the weekly PUPS post could be pinned to the top, and also if nutty's annual explanation of how it all works could be similarly pinned.

Pete Raven 276 Posted November 2, 2018 Yep, that's exactly how it works - or how it's supposed to anyway... I'll pin the PUPs post now but am conscious of the number of pinned posts as the explainers for the new forum need to stay at the top for a while until everyone is settled in.

It's Character Forming 1,203 Posted November 2, 2018 It's great to have an ignore button although on other forums where I've used it, some threads become a bit surreal with people replying to comments you can't see, so I use it lightly ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,524 Posted November 2, 2018 As others have said I'd also be all for merging OT an the main forum. It works well on the forums of other clubs and now thet we're winning games it's not like the main forum will be particularly busy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 2,318 Posted November 2, 2018 I like the current setup and would prefer it if non-football content was kept separate. Though I don't object to the occasional OT thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,203 Posted November 2, 2018 Hi Pete Sorry to have to say this, but in the migration the apostrophe has disappeared from my profile which is a bit painful... any chance it can be corrected to It's Character Forming ? Only I have read "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" and everything... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
