general forum feedback

[nilrog 103]

Usually that is the case when you click a notification from a post that you have already read. Maybe by regular scrolling through the forum.

Thinking back, do you think that is what could have happened?

 

Nope, i'm just clicking the link in the list of posts. Just as I do on all forums I visits.

Yup the same for me. It does not happen all the time less that 50%, but it does happen. Same as @nilrog for me; 90%+ of the time I only access the forum via the notifications

[nilrog 103]

For me i'd say it happens less than 10% of the time, maybe even less than 5% of the times. And I rarely click on anything in my notification list.

Sorry misread.

@SandervG: If you (or me) edit this post, the spaces between the smilies are removed and you have to insert them again "by hand" :( . Edited March 15, 2016 by SandervG

[SandervG 1,521]

Speaking of smileys, a few little birdies have mentioned in the past they did not like these. Would you prefer the 'normal' emoji's instead?

Edit; @ataraxis, I just edited your post without really editing it (added a '.') The smiley's all remained. When and how did you encounter this issue?

Emoji!!!!

[mastory 44]

I rarely use an emoji, but using non-standard ones sort of violates their purpose as universal symbology IMO.

[Labern 774]

I hated the UM ones in the beginning but now I dont mind them.

[peetersm 124]

not a fan of the UM emoji, I think leaving them as text would almost be better. :-p

Today I was logged out on one of my laptops. I think it's been ~1 week or so since I logged in, and ticked the "keep me logged in" checkbox.

Guys. GUYS. I have an idea. all emoji's need to be replaced with

Still every session for me, I hope @SandervG can get the devs to fix it, most annoying

Another issue...possibly the same as the "ghost notifications"...but i'm not acting on any notifications...sometimes when I return to the forum and I click on the links to read new replies to threads, some of the threads have no new posts since I opened them the last time. And every time I have visited the forum I end with marking the whole forum as read.

[nilrog 103]

If you look at a users profile and check their activity the "latest activity" does not show the correct items. If you change to "show all" you will see different items as the "latest" items.

[Titus 170]

When I open my standard page with unread posts, I open a few(say 5) in a new tab that interest me, and click next page.

BUT when the next page loads, the couple I opened are now marked as read, therefore leave 5 spots open on the first page. When the second pages loads, 5 topics that were there originally have now moved to the first page, causing me to miss them.

Not sure how this can be fixed(perhaps don't use pages?) as keeping track of what was on that specific page is probably not possible/desirable.

[LePaul 321]

I'm prompted to log in everytime now.

Login page has all the info....just have to manually push log in. Checking off the "Remember Me" now to see if that changes what used to always work

[Blizz 53]

The "olsson block issues" thread is so slow because some idjit included a complete gcode file inline in his post. Might want to limit reaction length somewhat in the future too I think.

[neotko 1,417]

Holy mother! It almost made my iphone crash

[Titus 170]

Lol yeah, cool! That is one large piece of text

[LePaul 321]

Well I am having to log in everytime on my laptop...remember me not working either.

I had to work on other things for a few months, but when I started visiting again recently I was pleased to see that the new forum is greatly improved. Information density is, in most places, back up to where it needed to be to be useful.

Except in one place that I've found: when viewing my own posts, e.g. when trying to find an old conversation when I can't remember the exact forum section or topic title. I go to my profile and view my "list" of posts... and it's still using one huge tile per post. It's really rather ridiculous that I have this huge 26"/65cm widescreen monitor, but I can only see 3 of my posts without scrolling. It would be nice if this and any similar remnants of the forum-killer forum was fixed.

[ultiarjan 1,223]

+1

just a list format would be much more practical.

[SandervG 1,521]

hmm, I thought I already replied to this thread..

What I imagined I said was; thank you for the feedback! We're happy you appreciate the improvements we have made. We'll have another look at that part of the pages.

We have also made some other improvements to the website today.

Curious to hear what you think.

Among others we did the following:

- We have optimized the menu and especially the 'resources' pages.

- A better overview, and less clicks to get to places. We are still busy writing content and expanding the amount of knowledge. If you want to help, feel free to let me know!

- Another topic of interest... Search!

- We took the first steps to an improved search configuration. Let us know what you think.

- Disabled searching for a "space"

- When a search tab has zero results, it opens the first tab with results

- We believe we fixed the ghost notifications issue in the community. Big news! Let us know if you still get them. Also, keep an eye out if in fact you do get all the notifications to the topics you are subscribed to. This filter could help to get a quick overview.

- Topics with huge gcodes (as text) in them didn't work, they do now

- When users posted the same URL twice in the same reply one of them didn't work

- Users cannot post a topic with a title with less than 8 alphanumeric characters

- User activity in a user's profile is now displayed correctly

Let us know what you think, or what you feel we should have a look at too.

Thank you for your time!

Is it just me or do you also experience the problem that clicking on a topic within the 'unread' list leads to the topic but there the unread items are not marked and you land on the second last page?
