Bugs And Suggestions Thread, Part 1

A thread just showed up, but it's locked down when it shouldn't be...

YouTube music videos A-Z - (Part D)
Locked

 

Yeah, threads are coming in locked. When the script finishes importing they'll all be unlocked.

 

I hate the gray scale. Everything looks washed out. The page has no bite or punch. It makes it a more difficult to navigate than the previous format.

 

Is the search working? Every search I do comes back with few or no results.

 

Something which is really annoying is the need to constantly scroll over things with your mouse for them to lite up. Number of pages in a thread should be clear. Having to highlight below the thread is annoying as hell. So is that you have to highlight the time a post was made, to see when it was made. The time of a post should also be clear. That should also be a pretty simply change.

Also, how about a post reply tab at the top of threads? Why do we have to scroll all the way to the bottom to reply? Most forums, actually every other one I participate on, has the post reply option at the top and bottom of each page.

Also, for sigs, and so they don't look sandwiched, don't put
"jond, A moment ago Edit Delete Report"
directly under the sigs.

 

Turn up the contrast. Everything is light gray and washed out like Alberto said. It's hard to distinguish between different page elements when they're all nearly the same color. And you can barely see the time stamps and sigs on the posts. It just all looks lifeless and sterile.

Different skins would be great. Other than being washed out, the style is too soft for my liking. It's all soft grays, soft drop shadows, and softly rounded buttons. I'd like some angles and some real color.

The little blue circular "first unread" button seems a little too small.

Also, yeah, the left navigation pane was awesome. The little navigation window with the miniature scroll bar/gigantic list sucks.

 

I'll add a couple more, as I'm seeing more as I look around.

1) Don't like how you can't tell if someone else is online. Little green light was a very nice addition in the former format.

2) Can't tell location, favorite team, how long a person has been a member, or any kind of a rep level by looking at an avatar. That seriously should change.

 

When I click on a new thread that I haven't read before, it goes to some random post rather than the first one. I assume this will be fixed at some point?

 

So I guess you guys are still experimenting?

 

My ignore list got vaporized. I noticed when I saw a post from a longtime resident of that list. Then I checked in my settings, and it's blank.

 

Yanks Abroad used to be accessible in the USA forum. Could easily navigate though. Now it's not listen in the USA forum and you have to go back to the main forums page to access it.

 

Same here - but only on my Macbook with Firefox. My PC with Chrome can switch back & forth.

me too.

 

I liked the site better without the ads.

I know many were clamoring for a greater array of smilies, but I think I liked the older ones better. Except for Thumbs Up Guy. I like him....

 

I am also getting the Mobile version using Safari on Mac OS X. This is a change from yesterday when I got the full version.

On a side note, I found the full version dynamic HTML somewhat annoying. I hope that there will be a way to read the forum as static HTML, somewhere in between Default and Mobile.

 

Stuck in mobile version using the latest version of Chrome on OSX. Lame.

 

What is the maximum posting limit in a thread now that the site has changed??

 

Like others above, I would prefer having a choice of not being forced to use mobile on my iPad/tablet device.
