Forum Upgrade - Any Issues?

[Johndeere3720]

I like the new look, looks really cool IMO. Will take some getting used to but so far so good. :thumbsup:

For some reason, it just switched my from the middle editor (the one with a little more formatting than the bare text one) to the WSYSIG editor...

Also, it appears that you now have to click on the icon (

) next to an unread post to go to the first unread post vs just clicking on the thread title like in the old forum.

That's something we keep going back and forth on. Half of our users want it this way, half want it the old way. The problem with the old way was it didn't give you the option---and that led to people getting jumped back to the first unread post if they clicked to view an attachment. It was very annoying from that standpoint. The solution, if enough people really want to go back to the old way, is a toggle option in settings. We can work on that.

I liked going to first unread as default as well.

Didn't wade thru all the other comments yet
BUT
It would be nice if clicking on the forum name when it shows up in the quick navigation area would take you to the forum rather than a drop down menu. Scrolling down for the lower forums, like this and private party ads is a pain, clicking top and reselecting the forum is a pain.

The big gray +Reply to Thread button doesn't work. /edit - works now!!

Which browser are you using?

Also need to do something with the icons at the top. Just for kicks, I zoomed WAY out, and magically the search, log-out, and profile icons appeared. But then that makes everything else WAY too small. Zooming in and those icons disappear

I can see both sides and remember when you tried this way on the old forum... Most forums use the way that you have it now, so I am fine either way, will just need to adjust to it.

Also, on my eitor issue, I switched to the "Basic" editor and back to the "Standard" one which seemed to fix that setting...

Only works for my if I mouse over the very bottom edge of the icon (in Chrome or Firefox 10).
