steve_v Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Ok, I just noticed the "<user> likes this" appearing on posts... I will therefore be giving ZERO likes, (whatever this "like" thing is), sorry 'bout that. Missing the old rep system already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YNM Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 First post on the new forums, it seems for me ! Hi again everyone ! Good job Kasper ! (though, is the servers still unstable ? It load really long for some threads in random ways). α β γ δ ϵ ζ μ ν π ϕ ρ ψ ξ χ λ τ θ υ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a pretty convenient way of removing parts of any website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiew Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Did I accidentally click a "delete all my subscriptions" button that had no confirmation, or has everyone else just lost theirs too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhoram Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Quick question about the new "follow" mechanic. I saw that my subscriptions to threads of the old forum were ported to the new forum. After I have updated the settings to get my daily notifications, now all the subscriptions seem to be lost and gone: On my "Manage Followed Content" page I only get a "There's nothing here yet" text. Is there an easy way to recreate my list of followed threads or is that something temporary that will get sorted out by itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bouw Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Good job working so hard on the migration. Although it works a little different, it still somewhat feels the same. I encountered a problem quickly though. The devnotes are gibberish for me. Almost like they are displayed in raw html or something. A sample of the first few lines as displayed on my screen: Spoiler <figure data-orig-width="480" data-orig-height="92" class="tmblr-full"><img data-orig-width="480" data-orig-height="92" src="http://41.media.tumblr.com/0ff9377afa68dc3ad3fe6844aaf1bd38/tumblr_inline_nycbugT0Qm1rr2wit_540.jpg"/></figure><p>Hi everyone!</p><p>This is a week in which we made a big decision: we have to owe up to setting too optimistic goals. Kerbal Space Program is a labor of love, and we want to see the game all it possibly can be. In the case of update 1.1, three weeks of QA & experimentals just wouldn’t do justice to the quality of the game we aim for if you consider that nearly all areas of the game have been updated in some way.

glibbo Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Obviously there will be some problems to fix on such a massive overhaul, but, I'm kind of liking the new uncluttered look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is anything but uncluttered. It's improved since I turned signatures off & hid avatars, but look at the percentage of space taken by post content vs percentage taken by either useless whitespace or other random parts of the forum.

This should have been a non-starter for selecting IPS. How on earth did you guys manage to select a new forum software that couldn't migrate URLs properly? Maintaining inbound links with regards to search engines and external blogs and websites should have been the highest priority item in your evaluation. Now, all Google searches are going to lead to 404 errors. That's really stupid. Also, there seems to be something weird with the text font. Is it bold by default or something ?

Ted Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Woohoo!

It's definitely a stick in the mud, but Google should update its indexes soon enough and other sights will cache them soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtualgenius Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I hate to be Mr Negativity but i have no forum subscriptions I had 3 pages or more of subs all disappeared, lots of complaints about threads that are broken, 502 errors constantly killing me, would it have been better to run the old forums and the new ones in parallel maybe lock off creating new posts in the old forums and create a test link for the new ones. Because from where i sit there are lots of unhappy campers, is there a possibilty of rolling back to the old forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running them in parallel really isn't an option when you consider that whichever way you ultimately choose to go some content on the other forum would be lost. I've updated the first post: in order to fix the 502 errors we've had to remove the follows which is very unfortunate - but the forums are working like a dream now.

Virtualgenius Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) How am I supposed to find 3 pages of subscriptions when i have nothing to reference for the threads i was following Is it possible you can produce a list for each member so we can find those threads and resub Edited November 30, 2015 by Virtualgenius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibb31 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Requiring thousands of web pages and blog posts to be manually updated is more than a stick in the mud. It should have got IPS rejected from your evaluation process. Also, the reply/quote process seems to be broken in the Wysiwyg editor. It seems to get stuck on the previous quote that I replied to... Grrr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, exactly, would have been lost on the old forums by locking them in read-only mode? "Working like a dream" is a very subjective opinion.

adsii1970 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I was the author of a thread that was basically a "share your education" encouragement page, but now it is gone. Luckily I did save a copy of it. I am going to reserve my comments on the new platform until I have fully had the opportunity to become accustomed to it.

I'd too afraid to even fart lest I get banned... I mean, I'm only human, I'm not a robot!!! They're the same as before aren't they? I didn't notice any changes, though for all I know Squad could have sneaked something in. I think it's just that as far as IPS is concerned it's the first time we've logged in. 6 hours ago, ferram4 said: Anyway, the gist was: WYSIWYG editor is a pain. I always turned it off, especially for editing the initial post of a mod thread to help with making things responsive enough that I could be sure that it was updating properly AND so that I could be sure that the formatting was right because I could see where the BB code markers ended. I have no control over this anymore, and frankly, that's a huge step backwards. Not to mention all the links that are busted. +1 to this. According to IPS https://community.invisionpower.com/topic/417407-ips-40-the-current-state-of-bbcode-and-its-future-is-bbcode-officially-abandoned/ "IPS4 supports BBCode and we have no intention to remove that in the foreseeable future". I can see how Squad would think a wysiwyg editor will attract newcomers, though I would note that people are now familiar with sites like Facebook that offer no formatting at all, but a lot of the existing membership prefer the BBCodes. Heck, just making that link behave required silly non-obvious workarounds, otherwise the rest of my post would have been treated as part of the URL after I pasted it. A task trivial in BBCode made idiotic in WYSIWYG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
