ok, i think im spending more time going back and forth in threads than I am figuring out how to fix the issues, so lets consolidate them all into this one thread here please =)

bring em on...please be mindful of duplicates and please be patient. some of these fixes can take 5 seconds....some can take days! Rest assured we will do as much as we can to make the transition easier and restore much if not all of the previous functionality we had customized into the previous forum...it was just so old that many of those modifications simply didnt even apply to new sections.

also please if the complaint or suggestion is something complex, try to explain it in great detail where you are within the forum and what you are clicking on to generate the error (or whatever it is you would like to have changed)...itll make it so much easier for us to reproduce and fix!

Thank you!


List of fixes sofar as of the start of this thread.

1. bumped up the default font size
2. installed tapatalk (currently disabled until we can fix the issue it causes)
3. guest/tug member user tags fixed
4. added home/marketplace/reviews links to top nav bar
5. reduced "whiteness" of forum (ok, that sounds awful, but hopefully you all understand!)

My wish list.... if possible

1. add menu bar at top of screen that links to other TUG sites landing site (reviews, marketplace,etc)
2. on "New Posts" page, here are my requests: a) make the forum category for each post clickable, b) I would also prefer a switch between where the last user posted info is on the right and switch that info with the forum category info, as I am usually more interested in what forum the topic is rather than the last user who posted to it. It is very difficult to scan this now.

could you let me know what error it gives you?

Never mind. I had misspelled my search request, and when I repeated it just now to report it to you, (search) returned the exact results my PC did. So all is well. BTW, I was just thinking that the 'NEW' TUG is feeling more normal. Things are where I'm expecting them. Thanks for the upgrade!
 
great! I like problems like that!

I do have to admit, i was daunted by the change at first...but with the ability to customize so much...im starting to like it more and more. just so many things we couldnt even possibly do in vbulletin are available now.

hopefully when we are all done (if ever)...the end user experience will be much more pleasant and friendly.

Is this not how it works for you now? Categories are clickable for me.

Boy Brian is good. It was not working yesterday, I had not gone back and checked.

I still would like the poster info and the forum category info swapped places on the New Posts page.
 
fyi can anyone confirm tapatalk is working on the new forum?

yes, this is on the todo list.

I figured it was not a simple system setting, but a custom with imbedded and coded html links.
 
there is actually an app that makes adding/editing those notes (apparently they are called notes in xenforo, vs tabs) fairly easy...i just need to install it.

famous last words aye?

Hi Brian,

I just tried TapaTalk on my Smartphone. The message I received was "Timeshare Users Group is currently unavailable in TapaTalk. However, you can continue to interact with other TapaTalk Users in this forum/chatroom"

odd, tapatalk is installed and enabled...i submitted a ticket to tapatalk to see what htey say.
 
also ive been tinkering with fonts...but I use a really large monitor...so please let me know if any of the font sizes look ridiculous!

I'm using a smaller laptop, so the larger font looks great.
 
How do we delete conversations? I've poked around there and can't find this option.
 
I need to know how to find the TUG reviews section, please.

EDIT: Never mind. This was answered in another thread. Go to: http://tug2.com/Home.aspx. The password for the Reviews section is unchanged.

What happened to the lists of timeshares owned that used to be under our names?

Easy to fix. Click your screen name in the upper right of the screen. Then select signature. You can then create a custom signature. Look at my post just above yours, for example.
 
I think we can likely get a way to either restore that data, or at least restore the functionality of getting it back under your names.
 
2b is already in place, its that way by default.

or perhaps im just not reading what you mean correctly?

No, your not understanding me. I would prefer the information be swapped.
It is currently that forum in small and under the post title and last updated user is bold and off to the right.

Is that clearer. I would prefer to switch them, much like the old board. Why, I usually read by going to New Posts and reading only those Forums that I am interested in.
