John Eucist Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Forum upgrade to commence in 5 minutes. Will be down for several minutes. EDIT: Upgrade completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Eucist Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Guys. Let me know if you find anything that's broken or just terrible. I just noticed that there's no downvote anymore. Can probably fix that tho later. I originally upgraded because I thought it might fix the file download issue. Apparently it was unrelated. I have submitted a support ticket for that just now. Will keep you guys updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who_the Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I have been poking around and find the upgrade quite handsome and functional! I like the list of users who react to posts. Also, the upgrade fixed one of my nagging issues, which was when I used the "Activity" tab to see unread content (on mobile only), clicking the topic would take me to the first post in the topic, not the first unread post (as it does on the desktop). Now, on mobile or desktop, I get the first unread post when I click, which is great. Downvoting is still there; just hover over the heart and you can up or down vote any post. On mobile, tap on the heart and then you can up or down vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Backe Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 What's the new equivalent of Reputation? Like or Upvote. I'm so confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to differentiate on your activity feed though, but only by the icon which appears, the text still just says the generic 'reacted to'.

z3n Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Dark theme rocks, love it! But seems like there are some text color adjustments needed, few sections have unreadable text because of their colors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermanTheGerman Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hi John, because I just found this thread: I always use https where possible, and I see it also would work here without problems. Unfortunately when I click on any link in the forum, the next page falls back to http always. Could you redirect everything to https, please ? It's just a setting in Apache or nginx, don't know what you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would cause all embedded media (from external sites) in the forum to not show. There is a proxy workaround that I'm investigating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 3 hours ago, Marty Backe said: There's way too much interest in down voting The problem as I see it (and maybe this release might change things) is there are one or two who give very bad advice yet, if they have been prolific and (say) posted 500 posts and got 50 reps they are shown as having a good reputation. In my book, someone whose advice can be trusted needs to be at least "square" I.e. If they have 500 posts they should have at least 500 reps. The worst I've come across were 3 Airwheel employees that took turns pretended they were newbies and asking questions about what was the best wheel to buy, the other two would then explain how the Airwheel was, by far, the best wheel out there. Eventually the newbie would "buy" an Airwheel and state how wonderful it was. Even some quite knowledgeable members gave them positive reps before they realised what was actually happening. In fact one quite prominent member actually made a point of uprep'ing all the down reps I gave these three clowns - I was appalled! In the end several Airwheel threads had to be completely deleted (which BTW does not delete the reps.) Unless the system changes the way it rates members, so the percentage of positive reps, rather than the total number is used to rate, then I feel it is actually quite important, almost a duty, to down rep bad advice to help protect new users from them. OK, I would agree that is going to be "bad advice in my opinion" but I, for one, will only down rep when someone is being clearly abusive or giving clearly very poor advice. The benefit of the doubt response would be to do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I gave you a 'downvote' ( 1st time ever buddy) then a 'like' vote which cancelled the downvote. Then I 'upvoted' which cancelled the 'like' vote'. When you receive a combination of up, down and like votes it actually becomes quite colorful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it does not matter which one you use. It seems that I'm unable to disable the "Like" functionality. So I guess you can use "Like" when you really do LIKE the post while if something is important yet a terrible news you can use the "Upvote" instead?

dmethvin Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I like the changes to the look in general. The new "like" seems unnecessary but harmless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the like, therefore will like it from now on (instead of upvote). Spoiler This is to find out how many readers of this post are nosy.
