    That blue tick is on in every forum I visit, by default.

    Surely it should be off by default.

    Unticking and re-ticking does nothing, so it seems to be pointless.

    In forums I moderate, there is no blue tick, but when I tick it myself I get mod options.

    Thanks, but not that.

    It might be something mod related left over from The Change.

    I don't think it should be there on the forums I don't moderate.

    Is it there on any forum for you?

    I don't recollect this happening when the notification 1st went live, but now when I click the mod notification banner I get the "leaving Boards" message.

    I'm sure it must have been mentioned ....

    How do we know who is a moderator and even if we remember who is how do we know who is moderating what. Clicking on a moderators profile only gives the information "mod" and nothing more.

    Furthermore it would be good to actually see how including mods is online and has visited a particular forum recently.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    All I see in there is:

    At any opportunity, ban Esel.

    Any way to disable drafts? If I write a response and don't send, delete and leave, it will still showing the reply window on return to the same thread.

    On desktop, click your profile pic, top RHS of screen, select drafts and delete as appropriate.

    there seems to be no concept of a post being "read". so I look at "my threads" tab, I've no way of knowing which of them have any new posts, they're all in bold. or in a particular forum to mark all posts as read - that option is gone. Makes the site very awkward to use compared to the old version.


    also the "Categories" link at the top of the page currently just throws back an error page. I don't know what the distinction be categories and topics is supposed to be.

    It seams that "My Threads" are caried over for reference only and will be sort of transformed into "Bookmarks" , closed/open envelope indicate unread/read

    Posting in the thread(aka "Discussion") does NOT auto-subscribe(aka bookmark), you have to do it manually, even for treads you had bin

    yes, I've been using "Bookmarks" as well and you're right, but it's more clicks and messing around to achieve the same things. It might have been better if they'd just accepted the default setup for Vanilla and left people to get used to it, rather than creating this hybrid mess.

    Would be handy if you could bookmark Forums as well as threads then you could set up your own subset of forums that you regularly visited.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    "My Forums" as it is is useless as it's just showing posts from them in alphabetical order. The drop down list of subscribed forums is also gone.

    Is there no useable way of accessing my old subscribed forums list?

    Clicking on Topics is currently bringing up a list of all sub-forums in a somewhat random order, not categorised in any way - and as previously mentioned, Categories goes to an error page


    The TalkTo/Topics/Regional banner is also not visible from within individual discussions.

    On mobile:

    .The page doesn’t refresh when you post, you have to refresh manually each time.

    . No “most recent” option when searching

    . A new line doesn’t start a new sentence and begins with a small letter.

    . I don’t like the amount of space between lines but that’s really minor.

    Registered Users Posts: 10,363 ✭✭✭✭Sadb


    Forgot these, still mobile:

    . Doesn’t say who posted last or no way of knowing if another comment has been added since you posted unless you click into the forum.

    . No post/page count on the front page.

    Has it been explained why the boards.ie custom theme hides the forum title and Follow button?

    ?!

    So, the follow button/title has been there all along?!!

    I thought the css posted on site to fix it just added it for functionality as it was 'on their list'

    Christ almighty. (Does this count as griping?)

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    I've done a tonne of work on a Chrome extension.

    Three things in the screenshot. I've unhidden the follow button and added three links in the top right that open Modals for Posts, Threads, and Forums. In the screenshot, I've clicked Forums and it shows posts from my followed Forums under the new system in the proper order.

    Posts shows your comments and Threads shows what you've bookmarked. And I've made it so posting auto-bookmarks a thread.

    Edit: It seems the followed forums posts just show up under Discussions. I hadn't followed any so didn't know that.
