Welcome to the new Boards.ie platform - Version 1.0 :)

Is it juts me or have the dropdown menus gone from along the top where the links are for Discussions, Categories and Groups? Ive given up trying to find the Sport forum after almost 15 minutes, why why why make things more difficult

I don't know if this will help anyone but on mobile if you can find your bookmarks, that will give you a list of threads you've posted in.

The more I use it the worse it seems. When reading a thread and you come to the final post, on the old site you could click on the forum name at the bottom of the thread and it would bring you back into the main forum, now it seems you have to scroll back up to the top of the page you are reading to navigate back out of it.

I dont use Reddit or any other forum. One of the beauty things about Boards for me was its simplicity and user-friendly layout, this new set up though, its an absolute abomination. I would genuinely love to know who signed off on this cos I'd bet dollars to donuts it wasnt someone that has used the site for years or uses it outside of their actual paid job.

Hi,

All of these are mobile related.

Can the last post date be listed beside threads ?

Add a jump to last page beside the thread name on the thread index page.

Please god have pagination at the top as well as bottom of a thread page.

It's impossible to know if anything new has been added to a thread, particularly if you dont login.

Thanks.

Yes, I discovered this, but the link is all the way down on the bottom of the page.

Page sizes are very big, could this be contributing to the slowness?

24hr time please ?

Aw man its all over the place, so disappointed, im off, will check back in a few days, hopefully things have settled down but as of now it next to impossible to use without pulling your hair out. eg went to find the Coronavirus forum under current affairs but there is absoilutley nothing under Current affairs, no sing of all the old threads

The new site is a horrible experience

Not usually one to complain but this is absolutely horrendous, you would be doing yourself a favour to migrate back to the old system

igCorcaigh

Is there a dedicated thread where we can report bugs or bugbears that we may have?

I think it's fair to say it's pretty sh!te. Maybe it'll improve in time.

I think this is that thread!

TBH I think the dev has plenty to keep themself busy for the next few days, lots of low hanging fruit to pick off and then it will be worth recording the less obvious but still necessary fixes.

Where are my subscribed forums? I can literally find nothing!

Navigation seems very broken. Not intuitive at all.

Bit slow at the moment- needs to be a bit more zappy- but thanks guys for all the hard work

It's not exactly great at the moment, but I assume things can be improved.

I did like how you've managed to make it look a lot like the old version.

Biggest disappointment so far is the speed.

I have not read through the entire thread, so apologies if this information is a duplication.

To get bold or italic or underline type now, you can do this by typing control B, I or U as needed.

Type it again when you're finished with the different mode.

Brackets don't seem to work. e.g. [b]bold[/b] which used to work (although not needed with the taskbar), now does not work as you can see.

The fact that something like this wasn't highlighted by some chap on a summer internship in Vanilla is extremely poor.

Can anyone tell me if the desktop version is available for mobile. Hate the new layout, find it very user unfriendly.

igCorcaigh

I'm on the Touch site on my laptop.

How can I get back into the Standard site, there are no links at the bottom to do so. I m stuck on the Touch site now.

The new site makes me feel like it’s my first time ever using the internet

I do not like thee, Vanilla Hell.

The reason why - I cannot tell.

But this I know, and know full well,

I do not like thee, Vanilla Hell.

The Desktop version isn't any better.

If you are using Chrome on Android you can press the 3 dots up top right of screen and select desktop mode and see how you get on....

Ok I have the desktop site now, on Chrome click the three dots top right and scroll down the options and click desktop.

Where's the soccer forum?

Website appears to be coming under strain

Don't worry - things will be much more stable when we move to the new platform ... 🙄
