HectorSRCVINYL Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hi We did a system update today that featured the following changes. - Security improvements (too many, too boring to explain) - Perfomance improvements (too many, too boring to explain) - When you mouseover the badge showing who liked a post, you will now see a larger list of who liked that post. You can still click to get the full list. - Ratings now show half-stars for the average (for example, if one user votes 3 stars and another 4, it will show 3 and a half stars) and there is now an indication if you have rated something. - When you are writing a new topic there is now a Preview button where you can see how the post would look once posted in phone, tablet or desktop. - There is a Spoiler button to highlight part of your text as spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Alert!!! - More tools on the toolbar when writing a topic. Check them out! - You can now choose to ignore notifications for being mentioned in posts by particular users. - You can now filter searches by specific forums/categories. - The filter dropdowns now have an "Apply" button for better usability (previously you had to click outside the dropdown). - Hitting back from a clicked item in any activity stream now remembers your position and loaded results. Other enhancements and improvements. Let me know if you have any questions!! The system is indexing all the post so the search is not working temporarily! Thank you.

KingTacoMunster Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 hopefully the topics on the right go back to being "New Topics" Tommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boops_popmarket Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'd like to request the ability to search for short words, like, let's say, REM or R.E.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well those old threads got people responding to them now. The list is made of the 5 last updated post not the last 5 created. I can configure it to go by creation date. I never heard of this being a problem before. I will consider your suggestion though Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. I made it go by creation date and made it 8. I will keep an eye on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minimum is 4. If we make it less it can become be too much for the server. You make the system search for text on millions of posts. Sorry.

slinch Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Any chance we can go back to optional "edited by" when we edit a post? Now they often clutter up posts and it would be great to be able to remove them. Also, is there no advanced search on the new board? Scratch that, I was thinking of "search in this thread". Is that gone? Edited August 26, 2016 by slinch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futures Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 is there a way to consolidate all of the pinned posts? it's getting kinda out of hand. its nitpicky, but a lot of the prominent PO threads are falling to the back pages quicker bc of the evergrowing pinned threads. danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Not sure if you caught my edit above, but I really miss the "search in this thread only" function. Is there any way to bring that back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
