Dark text on a dark background and light text on a light background... Poor move.

seems like if you quote some one using the buttons at the top of the text entry box. you cannot then comment on the quoted subject. 

Yea, obviously going to the text box and hitting enter first then quoting is a workaround.  But otherwise you have to quote, copy the quote, delete it. Create a space, quote it, then type your reply.

Don't like how it says Adam at the moment rather than ads678, I know that'll change though.

@mark think I’d class this as “GDPR violation” rather than “glitch”, some peoples’ full names (including surname) are showing instead of usernames.

What is displaying is what users have entered into their profiles in the 'Nickname' box. It will display usernames shortly

I have, it's still terrible. Id post a pic but I can't.

 

Site also doesn't dynamically fit to my screen.

Will the direct jump to the last page of a long thread return? I now have to open the thread on page 1 then select the last page rather than just tapping the >> on the forum thread list. Clicks are good I guess? But I preferred the efficient route to the latest posts on longer threads. Is it 50 replies per page?

I work in IT and just want to say “good job”. Live migrations are difficult and stressful and the fact the site is up and operating well after just a short downtime is impressive. I’m sure the few niggles will be fixed in due course. Well done.

If I have read the last post in a thread, if I click on the thread again it takes me to the last post, but if someone makes a new post when I click on the thread it takes me to the first post.

I don't think I'm a fan of the long list of viewers at the bottom of the thread either 🤔 

It might make me/others feel insecure knowing who's read the thread but hasn't replied? Validation and rejection comes into play and whilst I might be able to handle both on occasions it is information that I haven't needed for the past 20+ years.

Can I turn my visibility off?

Same here - it was jumping to last post but that seems random now. Selecting the last page from a dropdown will quickly become tiresome.

How's the image upload for members? Here's a pic of my feet taken earlier.

Thought only us 502 members got access to the feet pics?

No longer works for me in Safari in OSX. Admittedly, I am still on 10.14, but it worked fine before.

Agreed, too much clutter and a bit odd

Assume I'm thick as shit - I can't get to the latest post on the big threads like Gaza or the football one?

This thread brings me back to my last post on it, pre update threads I just go to the first post?

I take it back, seems to work now, sorry.

Phew, for a minute there I thought I was going to have to do some work instead of wasting time here...

For a while I couldn't see any topics whilst logged in (fine when not) but it seems to be working now.

are there no 'stickies'?, as in old stickies, not this one, which is apparently a sticky.

Spellcheck in my last post corrected my spelling but the corrections didn’t make it to the published post.

Missing the PSA deals sticky post on the top of the forums, that is a great thread. Albeit it has cost me alot of money over the past few months 😀

Got to repeat - the dark blue on black is really unappealing. Disabled dark mode as suggested but then the list of topics + replies alternates between white and dark, so I still have an issue reading half the post titles. Also, in white mode, the text is white on white for me, so I can't even read the other half.

Priority fixes we are dealing with.

Usernames and not Nick Names in topics

Dark/Light mode conflicts with user preferences.

Another observation (sorry!)... 😬

The opening post of a thread seems to be at the top of every one of the following pages.

Can that be turned off? Some threads are so long and so old the opening post of many long threads no longer has any relevance! 🙂

This thread is stickied to the bike forum.  It should probably be what would be "super sticky" in old money.

Nice work all.

For the Like thing it seems like you need to hover over the thumb, then it pops up, then you need to move up slightly and click it?  Is that correct? (I'm not talking about the delay before it appears, just the mechanics.  It seems not as nice as the quick click on the icon in STWV2)

The "jump to newest unread post" functionality only seems to work for threads with one page.  Can that go on the list please 🙂

1) How does the 'like' work? Clicking on it makes it pop up but doesn't increment the likes so I assume I'm missing something.

2) Is there a way of going to the first unread reply?

3) What's with 'awaiting moderation'?

Images seem easy to upload. I'm assuming it's still max 5 and they are attached by the tick box all at once

Feature request: A "Mark all as read" button so that the entire forum isn't showing as [New].

I'm perhaps in the minority (so far) but I'm liking dark mode black and blue. It matches my left thigh from when I fell off last week.

@Blokeuptheroad Likes don't seem to be working for me, even with that (Mac OS/Safari)

(Also second post, still 'awaiting moderation')

Sorry for the duplicate posts.  Whilst "Awaiting moderation" the Add Reply button appears to do nothing until you refresh the page.
