themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 First: Thanks for the hard work you've put in to upgrade the site. I am sure this was far from a trivial amount of work. I've noticed a couple of issues, which I've no doubt you're already aware of but always worth rasing a ticket: Tapatalk isn't logging me in The "thumbs up" function seems to be missing. If anything else pops up I'll add to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 The "like" option was available last night when we did the initial testing before opening up to the public. I'll take a look. As for tapatalk, I think Eric will look into that later today. It's not native to the forum, so it needs to be managed separately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The5thHorseman[TK] Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 This new skin is impressive! I must say I like a lot how clean it looks. Even though I gotta confess the first thing I did was to look for the "reference pictures" section, which I gladly found safe and sound . On my side here's a little issue I noticed: the "Change Background image" (the little brush next to the "notification" and "message" links) does not seem to work. When I click it shows the different shades available for the background, but clicking on any of them doesn't change a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog44[TK] Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Thanks. Strange I see the centurion one now. Didnt appear before. Sorry One other question, I see the badges but what are the stripe badges for? You have a gray blue white bar and another centurion one with stars. Sorry never actually knew what these are awarded for. Just curious, never saw any post that explains all the things that appear in post profiles. Or is there a post to read about this? Sorry not a tech question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micromouse[TK] Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Are you planing to map old links over to the new? Many many results on google link directly to the old forum links and give a 404 on the new site Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry not a tech question. The grey/blue is an achievement award, and and the red/yellow with stars is for being on staff (or having been), with more stars for more years.

We haven't added that back yet. There's still many small things to fix, and not all of them will come back either, as we might decide to scrap some things.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Yeah, like the Like button. People click it, but it's otherwise not used for anything. I'd like to turn it back off (I was the one who turned it off). For instance, we don't in any way surface the like information or sort or use that data. Other than giving people something to click on, for a forum like ours it's pretty useless, compared to say a purely social forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it a pretty decent amount, sort of "I've read this I agree/like/approve but don't really have anything to add or say further". Beats the bad old days of +1 posts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats the bad old days of +1 posts. That's how I use it too. Originally I was on the other side and found it sort of unnecessary, but I've come around on the matter since we added it.

starsaber25[Admin] Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I like the "like" function as well. Just like Chris said, to me it's like a yes I agree. Good Point. I concur. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swibowoj[TK] Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Fresh new look... love it.. Thank you Eric and all the staff admin, I know it takes a lot of effort and hard work to do this. Question : "Theme" options bottom left before "Contact Us", Is it deliberately enabled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Point. I concur. Well done. I get that people click it, but what I'm asking is, the data that is collected, it seems it is never used. We don't do anything with your "likes", there is no list of "most liked content today", or "top liked posts of all time", or "trending likes". It's not like Facebook. IOW, what I'm seeing is that people are "liking" stuff for themselves, but no one is paying attention. It's like in the series Lost where the guy is clicking on the keys, but no one is paying attention anymore. So aside from giving you the "liker" a feel good moment, it seems a pretty useless feature is my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is underneath your picture where it says "Imperial Attache[TK] and then you also have an Imperial Attache group icon, so you are doubly listed. Or, do you mean your Attache Award for outstanding service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
