It defaults to all forums but you should be able to edit your subscriptions the same as using vBulletin using the dropbox down the bottom. There's no tickbox beside each forum, so it looks like editing your Watched Forums is turned off right now, but that screen is exactly like the Subscribed Forums section of old BigSoccer.
There are many great updates here including the responsiveness of the site. However navigation has become more cumbersome. The quick nav feature is nice but it's a forum were content determines page height. It's not helpful to always have to scroll back up. This could be fixed by making the top navigation fixed so it scrolls down as you do, making everything instantly accessible.
I'll look again, but I saw nothing when I looked a few minutes ago. Meanwhile, I just had my awesome first new and improved BigSoccer error message! Just like old times! Just like old times!
As a member from 2001, I'm well aware of the VB 2.x to 3.X switch. "Get used to it" means we accepted the change for the worse. I hated it as of last week. And now we are being asked to do it again, as happens when with all "upgrades". People "freak out" each time because they DONT LIKE IT.
When I click on Watched Forums it lists every forum on BS, not the specific forums I clicked Watch Forum for.
I can deal with the horrible skin you have on here Huss but the one thing I cant deal with is how you have made it hard to navigate. One of the nice things about BigSoccer was the side nav bar on the left hand side that I could just quickly jump from forum to forum. You have quite literally taken the best thing about this forum (it is the only one that I am apart of that had this feature) and trashed it. For shame Huss. For shame... Also is you are implementing new things can you give us a skin of the old forum so we can choose that as an option? It really should not be that hard to implement.
You know what, Caesar, I just checked again. The watched forums business is in no way a custom forum list. For you to suggest it is, is totally wrong.
Most likely. Its usually what I do every time BS "updates". I like to get my opinion out there that, as always, the change sucks.
It is, trust me. I have used it as such on several XenForo forums. The only thing missing right now is a tickbox beside each watched forum so that you can edit the subscription. Currently it's just defaulting to everything.
Count me among the people who don't like the update. What I miss most is the left sidebar with the forums. The new arrow button shows every single forum, whereas the old format was customizable. I'm sorry, but I don't really care about the "Grouchy's (Un)Official Season Challenge" forum. Having every single forum shown makes it so much harder to scroll through and find the forum you really want. Plus it takes a while to load for me. Please fix these things. It'd be great if you could change the "What's New?" to show a customizable number of threads. 5 just isn't enough. I can only imagine when we get the eBay spamming posts that used to plague the old BigSoccer Spy.
Funny. I agree. When it launched you all went ballistic about how much space it took up. Relax guys. It's not our first upgrade. We'll get there.
i keep being logged out... every time i try to post in a thread it says " you must be logged in to do that "..even though i am logged in!! wtf?? - * i'm surprised this post went through lol ".
Yeah, well see, I loved the sidebar. Probably my favorite feature of BS and about the only thing I'm missing in this update.
So if you are going to update it again are you going to make the forums change the skin to something close to the old forums? I ask because this is truly woeful. And I am not being angry about the change. I am being angry about the fact that you launched something that clearly was not ready for prime time.
Is reputation gone in favor of likes? Is my warning gone? ;-) Please make a theme that isn't horrible as soon as you can. Thanks.
