New 4.0 Forums - Work in Progress

[mooniac58]

Hello all!

We have successfully installed the new 4.0 version of the forum software.  Some things are still working in the background to complete the migration and this might even take a couple days.  Some notes:

1) We seem to have lost the home page layout.  I will look into getting this restored but it might cost some $$$ to get a developer in to do it.

2) Usernames seem to now be case sensitive.  I always logged in as Mooniac58 and could not login until I realized my official username was "mooniac58" in all lowercase.  If you can't login - this is likely a problem.

3) I am still working on upgrading Tapatalk to work with 4.0 so this could be a day or two as well.

If you see anything else please let me know.  Thanks!

One thing appears to be the same. And that is your usage of double space lines...  Or are you up to triple space now?

Thanks all.  I know change can be hard but this should be a much better version for mobile and new features. 

[Marauder]

I actually like it. Hopefully the Tapatalk function will come soon.

looks really nice, and seems to work well under Firefox

Yeah this threw me for a curveball. I tried to log into Tapatalk an hour ago to show a friend that new cowling mod that is being developed and it gave us an error so I was wondering what was up.

I do like the round avatars, however

I am one of those [web] developers of whom you speak. I could be convinced to fix the homepage for not $ since I already live here.

Mobile interface is really clean and apparently easy to use if this post goes through.  -B

[rbridges]

I definitely see improvements on the phone.

It works much better on my iPad but it's almost unusable in my laptop using internet explorer. No problems using chrome on my laptop. 

 

Im using version 11 IE and windows 7

 

update- I had set mooneyspace to be viewed in the compatibility mode for IE.    Removed that setting and now all is well.

Not sure I like the new version but then I hate change. It will take some getting used to as all change does.

[xcrmckenna]

One thing I've noticed, when I open up a thread I have already read it starts me back at the opening comment. I have to scroll back through everything I've already read. It was handy when it started me off where I left off on the older version. Maybe I need to change a setting?

[bonal]

Can't seem to locate friends in my profile 

[philipneeper]

kinda miss the pics on the homepage and the trending topics... but like anything... We have to play with it to know it.

Tony, thanks.  My IE was also in compatibility mode and the forum was almost unusable.  Switched off and it looks much better.

On my Android phone running Chrome, there is no "New Content" cue anywhere that I can find.

Any suggestions?

 

[mooniac58]

Ok, Tapatalk support should now be live.

Mooneymite - the only thing I can see on my android phone in the chrome browser is if you click the "3 bar" icon in the top right then "More" and then activity stream you will get all the latest content.  

[mooniac58]

Well, it looks like the Tapatalk integration is not perfect yet.  You can see trending topics and the timeline but for whatever reason you can no longer see the list of subforums for the site.  I have a support ticket in with Tapatalk to try and get this fixed.

Thanks for your patience!

Anybody else getting an error when they try to "like this"?

[Hank]

Here on my iPad (not upgraded to iOS 8 yet), never use Tapatalk. The forum has obviously changed.

Whether I use Quick Reply below or Reply to This Post above, I then have to tap inside the text box for the cursor and keyboard to appear. Did not have to do this before. I will check on my Droid phone and Winders 8 desktop later today, maybe at halftime.

Thanks for for all you do for us, Craig!

[Hank]

Huh. Emojis are no longer allowed?

[DAVIDWH]

Case sensitive log ins send me up a wall.

Are they really necessary??

[Hank]

Now on tge droid. No link to the homepage. Can't leave this forum.

I really liked going to the homepage from the top or bottom; on POA, must scroll to the top even when 20 or more posts down. Soooo much nicer to scroll down just a little and have links to return to either the Forum or homepage. 

Now to see if I can rreach the Vintage thread. really hard to return to typing on the phone after reading what I wrote with the keyboard out of the way. It returns to the top of the page, the logo. Typing then brings me back to the end. So I can't fix "rreally" above.

Nothing I can do on my end to control this.  Sorry
