why do we get to look at your page hit generator ilikegoatse when we do new posts? you guys must support their bullshit. i hope it helps somehow because it drags your site down to the gutter.
Can we have the developers twitter handle so we can start bullying him?
Can you please remove polyasshat posts from the "latest"? Trolls be ruining my feed!
If this hasn't already been noted, the little black arrow that takes you to the last post should be a different color that's more visible- almost impossible to see with the original dark blue background - perhaps you're trying to incentiveize towards the white one?
Friday update:
-Web team had a long meeting about post-launch bugs & improvements that need to be made, especially in the forums. I wasn't at the meeting as I had other duties, but will provide more details about what to expect with regards to improvements beyond the fixes you all are asking for in the short term.
-We are working on getting the PollyAss posts out of the new posts page ASAP
-PNW, you should only have been sent to your Community profile on your first login through. It was intention just to make the mags aware we had built this other part of the site that was kind of cool. If you keep having to go to your Community page and then back again to the forums in future logins, lemme know. PS integrating the upload tools and other life-simplifying aspects of the Community section into the forums was a topic in the above-mentioned meeting.
-Muggydude I'm logging the email thing you mentioned.
-ungulate I'm logging your comment about the dark last post buttons.
-Out of curiosity, how many people are experiencing the fucked-up hard to read fonts on Chrome on a Windows machine? We seem to be having more issues with people on that setup than other combos.
Thanks for working through this with us...
Firefox old windows machine.
And
iphone5 w/ current iOS
it must be subtle, I didn't even know that feature existed...Quote:

I blame Google and Microsoft.

what's with the "verified" crap?
I'm being sent to Community profile every time I log in also.
yes font issue is Chrome / Windows for me. I have also tried Chrome / Mac OSX & Explorer/Windows & its not much better. Really just don't like the font anywhere.
could be deleted threads. I'll check.Quote:

jamesp, roger on the community login bs. Do you mind posting a screenshot of a thread to show what the font is looking like in chrome on windows? This is what the white looks like for me, and I find it pretty easy to read:
Attachment 155713
acinpdx thanks for providing your browser specs...
Quick Search Box also going on the list.
We'll keep chipping away at these issues and requests as best we can, but be warned it won't be at a blinding pace over the holiday weekend... sorry. We'll keep at it, though.
Actually I'm starting to like the white background, reminds me of the old PowMag or TeleTips format, and easy to read. For some reason I think the sans serif looks better black on white than white on dark blue. No problem seeing the black arrow in that situation, of course. But for those who soldier on with the old dark blue setup, yeah.Quote:

Thanks for your feedback Tri! Much appreciated...
In other news, Polyass threads should no longer be appearing in your new posts page. Warning message going into Padded Room should read better now. You should also be able to enter your Google+ name into your Community profile vs. having to look up your Google+ ID number. Not that many here care, but someone asked for it.
Just a friendly reminder: if you're still experiencing issues we've said we've already fixed, be sure to clear your cache on your web browser. Just FYI... have a good weekend, mags!
I've been offline for a while and I don't know if this is due to a forum change or computer change... for those font issue people... what kind of monitor are you on? I can't read shit on my 24" ultrasharps at work but on my retina laptop at home, the font is not an issue. I don't get the 'disappearing' straight lines I do on my LCD.
Love it. A forum change, and it's not my problem. This is a great way to pass the summer.
Also not getting emails notifying me of a PM anymore...
Loggin' it. moverblow'd I'll pass along your monitor info. to the crew as well.Quote:

Tuesday lunch update:
-E-mail notifications should be working again
-PolyAss threads should no longer be popping up in New Post search/page
Keep us posted with any issues you spot as the week goes on...
log in still takes me to the community profile bull shit.
Still get PolAss when I push the new posts button. But they are all older than this update so maybe it just stops new posts going forward?
Where are the subscribed threads now? I don't need the community bs either, although it's kind of nice to know what I've shared publicly, although I wish it just lived in the forum.
it's bouncing between the two searches for me, with and w/o polyass, can't figure out why or any correlations.Quote:

2- can we get some logic or something to the search function? Like, at the least, sorting by last post, so when you do a search something from 2009 isn't the first result? Search 'fast cars' for an example.
3- can you make this thread the 'announcement' that is on the top of every page and replace/unannounce the 'welcome to the new whatever' thread?
-working on getting that sorted out.Quote:

-Tye1, I've added the forum-specific improved search bar before but will check in to see where we are with that.
-I'll update the announcment
Nope, here at work I am using OS X with Firefox 27.0.1. At home I am on OS X using Chrome. I just refreshed new posts here (on firefox) and the 4th thread or so down was a PolAss thread. I personally don't care about it, but I do know there was a very vocal group that hated PolAss in new threads.Quote:

This seems to be independent of whether a threadlink is clicked in the subforum or the main forum.
It sucks, change it back.
We've added a Forum Search link in the sub-nav when on the search page.
When you login from the forums it should always bring you back to the forums instead of your profile page.
We made an update to one of the 'New Posts' links to exclude PolyAss. Let us know if anyone still has issues.
OK, I see the issue with the PolAss now. It is indeed getting removed from newposts from the dropdown menu but not the button near the activity stream. Got it.
This may not be in tune with what everyone else like but just an idea. I see a lot of floating windows/task bars and whatnot on other sites. Had you thought of the possibility of having the top bar with the forum dropdown and whatnot scroll with the page to always stay on top of the browser window and not just the page? I see this with muse sites a lot. Helps reduce mad scrolling, you always have most of the tools easily at your disposal...
If this is an idea you like, I would certainly ask others opinions as I think there will be outspoken pros/cons from the crowd.
am I missing a last post button? There use to be one next to the name of the last poster.... Can we get that back?
It's there, but it's black on blue. You have to hover over around there and wait for your cursor to turn into whatever yours turns into as a link rollover to find it.Quote:

We have a sticky navigation bar on the main site. Is that what you mean? We could look into implementing that here too.Quote:
