Official upgrade issue thread!

[ffadmin]

I'll apologize for that. We should probably have expected some transitional things to have been easier. I'll try to help catch up.

For those that are having problems in Tapatalk, I can't encourage you enough to try using your browser instead! This software runs extremely well in a browser, and even in "full desktop version", it's very quick. More than that, it keeps the interface the same as your experience on your PC.

We do have the option for skins enabled, found in the lower left corner of any page. I'll see what we can stir up for options, but sometimes skins interfere with some basic rendering needs. No promises.

To find your post history in a browser window, just hover your cursor over your username at the top of any page. There will be a dropdown that includes Your Content. That will open the list of all your prior posts.

That, I think covers this page. Gimme a little time to backtrack and see what else I need to address.

I just heard from our IT wizard, Gandalf, about the multi-Quote issues you guys are mentioning. I'll just copy his info here for now:

The problem is that XenForo by default only allows quoting of the specific message text and excludes any included quotes. There's a patch that undoes this but then you can end up with so many embedded quotes that the page looks messed up. This addon let's you set the embedded quotes to a set limit.. I've installed it and set it to 6 ..
Hopefully that will help with the quoting issues

I, for one, am liking this new format a lot better now. A number of functions are now simplified- posting images, for instance.

SKINS! We want skins!

I noticed that I am apparently "following" 6 members, although I have never expressed any wish to do so. How do I "un-follow" them?

Yes, that shows everything I've posted, on my own AND other threads. But with the old interface, there was also a VERY simple way to view ONLY the threads you had started--or, to go to someone else's profile and view specifically the threads they had started, not any post they'd made on any thread. Is there no way to see that anymore? I used that feature quite a lot, both for my own posts and to view threads I might have missed from specific other people.

Gotcha. Open your Profile page, also by hovering over your username. Then, under the Information tab, you'll have the option to "find all content" or "find all threads by...."

Thanks, a simple black background would be easy on the eyes and make the photos pop.

I'm not seeing that. No drop-down occurs.

Okay, finally found that; thank you. A bit convoluted, but at least it can be done. Too bad it shows ONLY the threads I've started since the upgrade happened, but at least it's something.

Nothing happens when you hover your cursor over your username up in the far top right of the page, where it also has "inbox" and "alerts?" That's odd; my dropdown works fine, just had to have the secret key to get down to the basement and find that locked file cabinet back in the bathroom that had the started threads list.

You could also get there by clicking on your username in any of your posts, and then using the Profile page link there.

Seeing "my content" is ok, but I would really like to have the option to see another member's started threads, and the posts. I've used these features in the old system to get a quick overview of the kind of stuff a member is posting, and whether, based on their posting history, I would want to interact with them or not. This feature was also useful when a member put up a very good post that was not a sticky - looking up the posted threads it was relatively easy to find the thread of interest again. Any chance of these functions being reinstated in this new system?

I can see your whole forum life by clicking your photo = profile page = recent activity

Ok, thanks. Yep. That does what I want it to do.

The "Upload A File" button still does not work with Win7 & Firefox, so I cannot post pictures.

ooh .. I finally found the
