Forum Upgrade - Issues

Maybe Finn could tweak it whilst you guys sleep.

Bah! 8hrs sleep? What a luxury

We love Tom and appreciate all he does for us here out of the kindness of his heart

There's a lot he could be doing Ais.  A whole lot LOL

Ali, you don't know how hard it was to get to 8 hrs.  We finally got it, at 3.5.  We're hoping to never give it up.

If you go to the look and layout option under modify profile there is a box to tick that says don't notify me of new posts while replying. Have you checked if that is ticked?

I also find the sidebars extremely limiting on my Kindle; I shudder to think how little text space would be left on my phone by the time I got the text large enough for my eyes. LOL

I still don't see that Evil Smiley emoticon..... I've seen it on other SMF forums in the past, though, I'm sure of it, so I hope it's out there someplace.

Also, if there is or can be the ability to unsubscribe to threads we've posted in without manually deleting each and every one of our posts in it, that would be great. Sometimes threads take turns OT and I lose interest in them, but I keep getting notifications.

You can do it by going to Profile and click on Notifications and the bottom lists all the threads you have posted in and click to "unnotify".  I have never tried but I told someone who did and said it worked.

I thought that was just for the emails though, and would not stop it showing in your unread replies list. I just leave those topics to last and the mark all as read.

Mine's unticked too, and although it was working yesterday, it isn't today?

it seems to be a multi-pronged problem. 

I was reading a topic; it took me a while.  I hit reply.  No warning of other replies, but there were 2 replies that had happened in that time. 

Then, when I did hit "post" , I did get a warning about a new reply.     my boxes are all what they are supposed to be. 

[Khalam's Mama]

I don't think i have ever got a warning when hitting reply only post....

Hi Tom
Thank you for all your work - I don't miss the bit at the top telling me how long I'd been logged in - it scary how much time adds up.  But I do miss the search function which I used a lot with dd1 (about 6 years ago).  Now I'm back with ds1, (so apologies if it has been gone for a while and you've already answered the question) but is it likely to come back any time soon?
Many thanks
Julia

Cool - just came back from 4 weeks away and was shocked to see a new BWer!   I peeked in periodically on my phone when it would connect and it hasn't changed at all in my phone appearance from what it used to be, so I was really surprised!

Thanks Tom for what must have been a big job and a lot of work!!!!

I seem to be getting the warning when replies have been posted whilst I am posting now

Hi Julia,

No, the search function has been disabled for quite some time, and has not yet been enabled.  We still do not have a timetable for this.  Tom is still working on installing all the plugins that used to work before the upgrade.  Once all those features have returned he will start to work on new functions.  But he, like all the rest of us, is a volunteer and squeezes in work on this site when he can. 

at this point, the best way to search the site is to use Google.  on the Google page, you can search for something like 4 month EASY routine site:babywhispererforums.com

Can we no longer spy on people? you used to be able to see what someone was doing at the current time by clicking on their profile but that doesn't seem to show anymore. Not a major issue hut would have been handy just now when I wanted to see if a particular mod was actively reading/replying to posts while I was waiting for her to see  a post I need help with.
