Christmas Forum Upgrade/complaint/compliments/whatever thread!

Brian,

If you need to see the old pages, they are archived at https://www.archive.org. Enter www.tugbbs.com. You will see a timeline. Click one of the bars. Then find a date-in-a-circle below. Click the date and you will see TUG BBS pages as of that date.

yep, we arent all that far off...i do note we had an alternating background color for posts on that old forum...this appears to be an add on theme for posts that no longer works in 2.0..but ill see if i can recreate it using the features in 2.0 now.

looking back I do kinda like how each post was very obvious as one was light blue and the other the default grey etc...also the quote box was much cleaner as well. I hope to get back to that after I figure out how to do it again.

updated the quote block color/background...much closer to what it was before!
 
I am not really getting an error code, but when I click post thread it never appears

The smiley function has the same (few) smilies that have been there forever......maybe it's time to upgrade the smileys?

First report of this I've heard. You must be logged in at the time or you wouldn't even see a message composition screen or "New post" button.

Might you have logged in with "Stay logged in" NOT checked? If so, and if you took long enough reading downloaded messages and/or writing your post, the board may have ended your session. Since your page would have already been downloaded and not updated, the board may not have reacted. I'd have thought it would have popped up an option to log in, though.

Do you see ANY sort of change on the screen when you press "Post thread" ?

I agree, it seems those same "old fashioned" ones from vBulletin carried over. It's time for some new, and more, smilies!
 
also I did confirm that the negative "reactions" (wow, sad and angry) available when you like a post now do not actually reduce your likes. they are considered "neutral" reactions and neither add, nor subtract from the users total likes.

only the first 3 (like, love, and haha) actually ad to the like count for the user.

It appears the sub groups (Hyatt, KBV) stay BOLD in the 'timeshare resort systems' or 'timeshare resort regions' even after all posts have been read. When you click to the actual forum, it is not bold once all have been read.

I just did a test and marked the hyatt forum read, it changed from bold to unbold for me (the forum title). I did have to refresh though vs just press the back button.

If you're looking at a screen that was already downloaded before those message were read, it won't automatically update -- you'll need to refresh it.

added a bunch more that seem to have come with xenforo.

they can get added individually fairly easily if someone has some favorites they wish to include.

The Last minute rentals used to give the outside date for posting, I don't see that now. The pages do look nice.

I've got the code working in the initial forum display pages for LMR Offered and LMR Wanted.
Now it's just a matter of sussing out where to insert the code in the thread-viewing and message-posting sections.
(Sorry for slowing down the forum response while working on this.)

Has anyone else noticed that response time has improved greatly? I know TUG BBS doesn't show ads to TUG members. I still set my Ad Block Plus to not block anything on this site. Same with Club Wyndham website. Shave a few milliseconds!
This site sill gets a few deprecation warnings from Chrome while Club Wyndham site gets tons of it!

Yes, emojis come with a cost! They are insecure! No more emojis from me!

Sorry, I posted these comments in a Wyndham thread. I realize now that they belong here.

I think I've got the LMR dates showing everywhere they need to. :whooopie:
So the intermittent delays I've caused while working on this should be over. :banana:

No worries, I tagged Brian because I figured he wasn't seeing the thread in the Wyndham forum. Looks like he is able to fix the security concern with the emojis!
 
@Makai Guy

Your spectacular fireworks didn't impress MS Edge at all!

But here's how Chrome took it! Ok, it may not be your fireworks! I am going to get my son to look at it!

Looks good now, thank you.
 
Is it no longer possible to sort in each forum by the number of views or number of posts in the threads? I seem to recall in the past version as well as vBulletin that you could sort the threads by number of replies or views. I use this to sometimes find certain threads that I knew had a lot of replies.

Nevermind, figured it out. You have to use the filter option in the forum to sort now. You can't just click on the header (which no longer exists).
 
Threads in the old format that were more than one page, had the page numbers listed at the top and bottom of the thread. This made adding posts to a thread very convenient. Now, in the new format, page numbers are only displayed at the bottom of the thread. If one wants to add a post, they need to scroll down to the bottom before a post can be added.

Can this be changed back to the old format with page numbers being included at the top of the thread? Thanks.


Richard
 
the page number blocks should appear at the top and bottom of every page?
