YoungCR Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Finally got to update to the long awaited new version of the forum software. For the most part it's fixed my complaints with the previous version's missing features, etc. I've also been holding off themes and other customizations until this upgrade because of the major differences. First off, let me know if something doesn't work! I try my best to test out many of the features I use but I know we all do things differently when it comes to posting. I'll be tweaking settings to my liking but could affects something unintentionally too. Second, let me know what you like, don't like, think is missing, etc. I'll be working on getting the galleries synced between the facebook page and here, creating the 2016 calendar and re-merchandising the store as these have fallen to the wayside due to time constraints. If there is something you like/love about another forum that could be added, please make a suggestion! We're here to make this the premier location of all things BMW in Wisconsin. Known Issues/Fixes Video's Wont Embed: Fixed with update. Unread Content/Topics go to first post instead of most recent: You must click on the dot or star to the right of the Topic Title to go to the most recent post. Stupid, I know. Something hopefully will be updated or I'll have to code in a fix myself. Can't edit location/job profile fields: Working on a fix, PM me if you want them changed for now.

KaiserRolls Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 It didn't work with tapatalk. So I deleted tapatalk. Now I think it's supposed to work with tapatalk. But now I'm used to the web version. Chris you have provided an emotional roller coaster for the holidays B C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris you have provided an emotional roller coaster for the holidays Yes there was a delay getting tapatalk working until this afternoon but it should be fully functioning now. Im still learning the mobile menu's but it's got all the functions of the "full" site now which is great. Posting pics and editing text is much easier on both sites and faster.

I will have to play with this in the morning. It used to just automatically embed any supported video url but that doesn't seem to be working.

Earl Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 When I click on a topic, it takes me to the first page/comment instead of taking me to the most recent unread comment like it would before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you have to "hit return" after pasting a youtube URL otherwise it doesn't work. From what I've read this is a bug right now they will work out. I did that with the link above and it ended up working. 1 hour ago, Earl said: When I click on a topic, it takes me to the first page/comment instead of taking me to the most recent unread comment like it would before Do you navigate to each board or from the unread content? For example to get to the Secret Santa 2015 Thread Home > General Discussion > Local Scene > Secret Santa 2015 Takes you to the first post of the thread. Home > Activity > All Activity or Unread Content > Secret Santa 2015 Takes you to the most recent post or whatever post you clicked on. This is similar to how it worked on the previous version but when browsing the boards you used to be able to preview the latest post which seems to have been taken away. The "All Activity" page is kind of like a Facebook timeline that shows every post made vs Unread Content will show you everything you have yet to view.

Earl Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 I go to unread content, click the thread, and it opens on page one. Whenever you clicked on any thread before, it would take you to the last post. suspenceful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Mobile version is great compared to before! Viewing it on my desktop, everything is sized for my grandparents to read it, though. Also there is no separation between posts like a different color or a line, so it all kind of runs together on a white background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I'm getting notifications for pretty much every post on WB on my phone now. Not just the ones I subscribe too. Is this part of the Tapatalk site update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I love the new look, the message function is a lot cleaner. The mobile version looks nicer but it took me a minute to get used to a couple things like what threads had new posts. 20 hours ago, straight6pwr said: Mobile version is great compared to before!

There is separation but on my computer screen it's like a really really light grey on white background. I had to look really hard to see it but it is there.

Was holding off on a custom theme previously since I knew this new version was in the works, so that's in the list of to do's now. 8 hours ago, jc43089 said: This, is it a personal setting or something? I usually browse like Earl said and I would prefer it to go automatically to the first unread post. So now it's going to the first post for me all the time now too. I'll be looking up an answer for this as I haven't found any settings anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get to the forum notification settings, click on the notification icon at the top of the page then notification settings on the right.

On December 30, 2015 at 6:33 PM, Earl said: ^Definitely still doesn't take me to the latest post=/ So I figured out the issue, it's poor design IMO at this point. Instead of clicking on the topic title, you click on the star or dot next to the topic title to go to the latest post. A star just means its a "hot topic" 6 hours ago, Jeff said: holy crap it worked!!!!! had trouble logging in figured i got the boot Good! Although I already reset your password before I saw this. I updated the first post with a running list of issues/fixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
