Forum Update - Test it out

[Wagtail]

When looking at the list of "New Posts" or "Today's Posts", the far right column used to show which forum the post is contained in, as well as being a link to that forum. Is that something that can be retained in the new format? Having the forum name helps me decide whether I want to open the post or move on.

I whole heartedly agree with von-mil on this (post #56) and his post #63 regarding my tractor info.

Sure would like to know what forum is on the title page.

Does anyone else have problem using "paste" on an iPad or iPhone? When adding my photobucket links I always have a hard time. It won't stay available long enough to select it. No problems on any other forum. Did it in current format and test format.

Using an iPhone 6 and typing a couple of paragraphs causes the lower text to fall off the screen.

Using Safari on a Mac and posting almost always seems to cause duplicate posts.

One thing that I use a lot is the "My Profile" link at the top off the page. It is not on the update.

Yes, I noticed that too. Clicking on the icon (the one with your username next to it) does nothing. Prior to this upgrade, a similar click of the icon would bring you to a "My Activity" screen, or "http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/members/username.html"

Well it was nice while it lasted, the jumping adds are back on the iPad in the new mobile format...I guess they are here to stay since many have complained and there has been little response to eliminate them.

Spend the $.99 and get Weblock and never have that problem again. Those ads were driving me crazy on my IPad and that took care of it. Your blood pressure will thank you!

Pretty sure that you were on a part of the forum where the new skin is not enabled, so those would be the same ads from the old skin.
For example, this link will take you to a thread using the old skin: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...80-ktac-insurance-agency-kubota-endorsed.html
And, this link will take you to a thread using the new skin: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/related-topics/288183-triva-fun.html
A quick way to tell is if the poster's info (join date, location, post count, etc) is in boxes (like on this thread) or if its just separate lines of text.

Thanks Aaron, I see what your saying...so some threads are showing in the old format and some in the new, that seems very strange but that is indeed what is happening.

I think the new skin has to be enabled on a forum by forum bases, so some forums get it, but others don't.
For example, everything in Kubota Owning and Operating should be the old skin and everything in Related Topics should be the new skin.
