Fck this new fandangled but not better website.
im going back to watching the IT crowd which I discovered during the down period and is great tv.
Yeah...I'm out. It was nice knowing you lads but this new site on mobile is useless. Bye bye now 👋👋
Significantly better on desktop.
Yeah I'm on my laptop right now but I'm just not using this site on mobile, it's one of the worst implementations I've seen tbh. Just getting to the forum you want is a hassle.
I've give up on this for the time being. Using a mobile and it's completely user unfriendly. Hopefully things will improve but for the moment it's utter crap.
For me it's showing the new items per thread, however many of the threads show several thousand new posts but once you read the last one it goes back to new ones. I assume this is a migration issue.
Also it's f*cking fantastic that you can now post screenshots directly from the clipboard into a message, boards has finally made it to the 2010s 😂
Isn't it telling you how many new posts are in the relevant forum (in this case Rugby). Which is useless info.
Also, if you quote a post, then expand the quoted post in the text box you're typing in, then start typing, the text isn't appearing. Can't for the life of me figure out how to delete a post either.
Think if they iron out all the small issues,it could be better going forward.
So the reason I couldn't figure out which ones are unread is I was expecting the links for unread ones to be bold like the old site but instead it has a little notification box under it which tells you how many new messages there are which I actually really like.
On the more negative side of things clicking the link to the rugby form at the top of a thread gives a 404
I have all the same gripes about the new site as you guys, plus more, but feature I accidentally found which is nice is drafts that persist across devices. Hopefully they can work out the other kinks and this new platform can actually be better than the old one
After using Bazzos suggestions, thanks for that. I found this link which seems to give me all my threads on mobile. Though it's not obvious which ones are unread
https://boards.ie/discussions/bookmarked
3 button presses now instead of the old 1. And the show all bookmarks button not working more times than it is. Hopefully they iron these things out.
This is awful.
Well Hellooooo ! 😂
What's happened to our ignore lists!? For the love of God (and my sanity) this better not be it boards.
*waves fist.
Top right corner, tap the little round face thing, then tap the star
I have no My Bookmarks link. There's a my Discussions, but that's empty when click it
At the bottom of each page there is a quick links section. I think you want the My Bookmarks link
Has anyone figured out how to get to followed threads on mobile
Understatement of the year so far.
So far this is less than ideal.
On a wildly unrelated note, looks like Djokovic will end up the most titled men's tennis player which is unfortunate as he is least likeable of the triumvirate.
That's down to Boards though, you don't get weekend work unless you agree up front and pay the extra for it with any IT project. It's their project to schedule, the thing with Vanilla is it's just a hosting platform, so they would've gotten support off them for the migration etc but all the design and that is down to the boards team.
The Canadians? All of them, eh?
The Canadians shut up shop on Friday and didn't go back to work until Monday... Board's weren't aware this was happening, so it's probably a bit of both tbh
Don't think that's entirely true, from reading their updates on Twitter it seemed like a bit of a miscommunication. The actual migration to the platform was done in a couple days, there was then issues with the boards/distilled media devs trying to implement a 'theme' on top of the vanilla standard theme which caused the main delay.
The board's people haven't done much...it's the Canadians who ran with this and have made a haymes of it
Hopefully there are still updates happening and it starts to run smoother over the next few days.
Can't say I'm loving the change. Seems generally slower to me, and the Search functionality is far more limited (and it just doesn't seem to be working, but I'm sure that'll get ironed out).
On the plus side, I've just found the Edit functionality, which will save me some heartache when I inevitably overreact to something.
Where's me LOL button gone. This is an outrage.
Well, this ... is f*cking awful.
Like, the browser site now looks like it's designed for mobile and the mobile site is a total shitshow. What is the obsession with making things look like it should be on a phone in your browser? So much wasted space.
I blame Jemma O'Doherty
I don't want to rush to judgement as sometimes a new layout takes a while to get used to - but this seems objectively and by every measure worse than the old site, slower and less functional?
And I'm on desktop - mobile is appalling.
