    Updated site > Are we almost there to get it right ?

    So it has been a struggle but the size of this beast of a forum made the upgrade (update) very difficult and painful to work through but it seems we are stable and back on track. The folks in FL have given some great suggestions (like increasing number of threads shown on per page shown and working to get the Today's Post accurate)

    What else can we fix ? Change to be more user friendly ?

    We believe we have it stable but again our testing can be limited and not everywhere ...

    Understand we work the board as Administrators, not really as users so our experience and way we use it will be different than yours - and so we may not see or experience errors or design faults that make the board not real user friendly

    Post your comments below and we will try to address them (if they seem to be good for the community at large) as we can.

      My recommendation is that when you click on a post, the default should be to latest activity not chronological order. I find it annoying to have to resort every time I click through.

        I like to browse the forum with the 'Today's Posts' tab, but it is not working.

        Can you get the 'Today's Posts' tab to work again?

          If you are registered you can bypass the re-captcha and go direct to results (because your login negates the need to prove you are a person and not a bot)

          If you are not registered you can go to today's posts (same location but tagged differently) ....But you need to tweak the form to get the results.

          Does that answer the question ?

            I think the format is already improved compared to the initial roll out.

            As many have already said…when you open a thread, it should go to the most recent post in the thread (most of these threads are multipage long) and should NOT open to Page 1, post 1 of a thread every time you click on it.

            Most forums give you the choice to click on Page 1 or Last Page….or default to Last Page.

                Why does the Last Post column on a give thread say "12 hours" when you click on the blue arrow and it takes you to the last post and it was posted 47 minutes ago? It makes the threads look stale when in real life there were 8-10 posts to that thread in the last few hours.

                  Still lots of bugs. After you post get lots of errors. Never sure if it takes it or not.

                    Having issues trying to create new thread. Always get error about waiting X seconds and try again. That doesn't work then you get reCaptcha incorrect contact Admin or just a plain old error message. Very buggy

                      Get a bug message when trying to post 3 out of 4 times. However, the post actually worked. Annoying.

                        It happened when I posted the above post.

                        The error message is:

                        Error while saving content: %1$s

                        Error information: " 500 error Internal Server Error"

                          The new format is unusable!

                            The time stamp on last post is never right.
