    Any one found a dark theme particularily or even any other theme? Nice to be able to post video easier.

    Going back to sleep now and will give it a gander later...

    Nice to see everyone once again and thanks to those who were working hard in the background

    Oooh inserting an image is easy. This is how many thanks he had at 5pm yesterday 😂

    I dunno how to switch to desktop. It’s not in the 3 lines bit.

    The "Vanilla" logo at the top of the touch site is particularly awful 🤢



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,883 ✭✭✭Tzardine


    Ah Jesus lads. It's completely ruined.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 355 ✭✭Pat_bottom


    So I can link and add pics and vids easier.......... I just can't find the places that I'd like to link and add them too.... 😂

    The category view appears to be using a different timezone offset to the discussion view.

    Or maybe one is server time and the other client time.

    Either way, category is showing GMT, discussion is showing GMT+1, for me at least.

    Seriously ? It's akin to be awaiting a brand new car , when it arrives It's indeed brand new, but no power steering, no air conditioning, a bog standard analogue radio. But hey it's brand new...but so disappointed 😞

    Can everyone else see the thanks on posts?

    I don't see any.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 355 ✭✭Pat_bottom


    Ohh and we can use emoji from keyboard 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺

    Posts don't seem to be numbered anymore either. That will be confusing

    Should be available in your phones browser. Some of the stuff on the mobile version ain't available on the desktop so I suspect it needs a lot of work yet (the whole site does tbh). I think just getting back live is good and they can update stuff in the background then



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,389 ✭✭✭appledrop


    When you log in go up to your icon button at the top.

    When you click on this a little menu bar drops down.

    There is a star button there and when I clicked on that it bought up all my bookmarked followed thread.

    New site awful so far, who wants to read pure white background and everyone's post is humongous for reading.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,127 ✭✭✭facehugger99


    First impressions - it's awful.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,515 ✭✭✭✭Lumen


    The difference is that this car can be serviced, repaired and upgraded while you're driving it. Hopefully.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,523 ✭✭✭joseywhales


    Some of the most recent posts are deleted? I've been waiting to refute that Bin laden was armed for a week but now the guy's post is deleted....I need a hobby



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 36,730 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Haven't used the desktop version yet, but man this touch version is rough. Had a notification that someone posted in a thread in a forum I don't think I've even looked at in about 3 or 4 years.


    Also what's the point in changing the Thanks to "Agree / Like / LOL"? If you don't want to add negative reactions, then there's no point having three different reactions when Thanks on this site was always considered to cover all three of those.


    Also haven't used the avatar you've now given me in donkeys year either. Plus the Activity page is just a bunch of people changing their avatar. What's the point?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 254 ✭✭nialler1978


    This is horrendous.

    It's sh1t. Thanks Boards.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 259 ✭✭jbv


    It looks to me it's a downgrade from previous site.

    Another little tip to get your notifications working is to tinker with the settings - use the alarm icon on the desktop site and you can modify your notifications to receive updates for what you want

    If you select the icon on the right you can play with them there

    You have to hover over Like button and all is revealed...


    Where is Find all My Posts option?

    Why do the images have so much wasted space around them, leaving them floating like ill-considered additions?

    Why am I not getting new post notification of threads I have posted in?

    Why have followed threads disappeared from my member button since this morning even?

    Why is everything so small and weird looking?

    Why is this better?


    🙄


    😂

    It's much, much faster on my laptop than on my phone.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,120 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    The amount of space taken up with padding around the posts is bad enough, but seems like quoting introduces a whole new level of wasting screen space. And the ridiculous amount preceeding images too, apparently...
