What's with the black diamond ? marks

@SS-GEN said in The new forum has been a lot of work and it's not done yet:

I know it’s getting better but I posted a reply for my game report in house rules and with the changes the stuff just gets buried. Somebody post another tread reply and such now you have to go threw every topic to find it. Just sayin.

If I’m understanding correctly, there’s no difference between the old forum and the new forum for this situation. If you post a topic, and a bunch of folks post different topics, your topic will eventually end up on another page unless somebody replies. On forums, “stuff gets buried” all the time.

Also, you absolutely do not have to go through every topic to find your topic. This has come up multiple times, there are tips and tricks that cover this, I added helpers in the navigation bar. Not to be harsh but I’m just not sure what else we’re supposed to do.

Here’s a recap of your options:

Notifications: there is a bell near your avatar on the toolbar. When somebody replies, there will be a red number. Click that and you’ll get all of your notifications.

Replies to your Posts: I literally added this to the toolbar because people were complaining about finding their stuff. It’s the double-left arrow in the nav bar. It’s literally the same as clicking Notifications followed by “See all Notifications”

Recent Topics: Click the clock in the nav bar. Where it says “All Topics” select “Watched Topics” instead. You can even select a category to further narrow it down.

Recent Watched Topics: Click the eye in the nav bar. That will give you “recent” watched topics, including any topic you made or any topic you replied to. (I think I’ll change this to the next one)

All of Your Watched Topics: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Watched.

Your Topics: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Topics.

Bookmarks: If a particular topic is super important, then click the three dots on a topic, the one next to Reply, Quite, <heart>, < 3 dots> and click Bookmark. To find your bookmarks: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Bookmarks.

That 6 ways to find your stuff. The old forums had a stupid icon that was hard to see and made no sense, I think it was a face or something. The replies to your posts was nice but we have that and more.

Note: there’s a bug with your watched topics if you have infinite scrolling turned on. I’ll file it later.

Yes, at the same time. one boots the other.

ALSO! I tried to upload a .PDF file in the tournament section to show the brackets.  Received a 404 error upon posting.

But upon opening up a new browser, I see that my post was successful.  This is what’s happening to tripleA… has to be server side :(

When G40 is finalized, probably a pretty version might be posted when it’s declared official. It would make an easy depot for this important information and probably we could support it with some of the new setup cards so you got a one stop shop thing going.

@djensen:

If you type Krieghund into the search box, the first hit is Krieghund’s profile page, from there you can see all of his posts.

It may take a while to look through them all  :wink:

Yes i suggest they need to contact a moderator first before the first post…just to make sure these are humans and not spamming machines, then we access their account and toggle “enable” so they can post.

@ncscswitch:

As of just before this post…
7961 from Games (all Games areas)
2579 Revised topic area
1379 General discussion
400 Classic
390 Moderator forum
342 Find Players
335 Website Discussion
79 House Rules

and then some additional smaller numbers of posts in Software, Announcements, Article Submission, Europe, etc.

Call it 13,500 excluding the old PD posts.

Still would be a loss of 4 to 5 thousand posts.

In my case, it’s closer to 5 thousand then 4 thousand.
