New Forums

Really like the new features so far.

I had 8 alerts and this happened until it cycled through all of them.

I'd prefer just one bar with "8 alerts."

For those of us who get an alert once a week it's pretty neat. Is there a way to have one or two alerts the new way and a greater number revert to something friendlier?

For now, it seems I can't condense. However, I made it so 1-2 notification pops up at a time instead of stacking up to 8, and they drop off as others come in.

Much better. Thanks.

Figured I'd let you of the few things I added last night:

1. New Notifications.
2. Social Icons on Header
3. Improved Search Feature
4. Few tweaks to Navigation Bar
5. New User Verification Changes (Should be easier and more reliable to kick off bots)

Still working on a few more things.

It's looking sweet. Thanks for the update!

I wasn't a fan at first but after using it for a bit, I think it's a great improvement. My only gripe is that I use the forum mostly on my phone and the notification icon is now next to the log out icon but it hasn't cause any issues yet.

--On second thought, nevermind.--

On third thought, I liked the notifications better as a flag above the bar instead of appearing on the bar? I know its minor, but I love critiquing.

They've always been on the bar? just went to an icon instead of saying "Alerts".

FYI,

From my iPad view all the adverts are being cut off, not a big thing but something I just noticed.

Dang I've posted a lot today. Well I just wanted to point out that it seems some emojis are repeated in the tab. Seems unnecessary.

Just a recent thought that popped in my mind. Maybe it's a dumb idea, but I'll throw it out here nonetheless...We've been having this discussion on the forums where we've been discussing welcoming new members & encouraging them to participate in discussions without being afraid to comment. I've also noticed that some of our newest members are actually people that are close to the action and have very pertinent information on what's happening behind the scenes. But since they're fairly new, or they don't want to blow their cover, they don't have a lot of posts. Subsequently, the "Rookie" status is still placed next to their Avatar. I was thinking maybe we should do away with that "Rookie" stuff, and just place "Member" next to their Avatar. That way they would feel more like a full status member, instead of the "Rookie" status (that kind of is a negative connotation), and their posts would be considered more significant & equal. . Like I said, maybe it's a dumb idea, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Fair point, I'll see about changing it.

Were the forums down earlier?

I tried to access from work laptop and was thinking they blocked access to the site (probably the most used webpage on my browser history)

Yes they were. We fixed the issue now so it shouldn't be happening again.
