Official upgrade issue thread!

[limr]

Questions about private messages:

First, I see they are called conversations now. Is there a limit like there was with the old format?

Second, I got an email notification that I'd gotten a new message and I was able to read it in the email message, but I just looked for it here to respond and I don't see it.

Third - and this has nothing to do with conversations - but I just found the Quick Navigation doohicky and I love it! If there was one on the old format, I never knew.

It occurs to me that poking around on the new site trying to get used to it may be leading me to things that I might have been able to do on the old format but never really thought to check. So that's good.

Limr, did you click your inbox button on the top right? It should drop down and offer to "Show all Conversations". If it don't, let me know.

How are you handling the contributing members sections. I noticed that at least one of those areas is no longer visible to me. (And I'm pretty sure that I paid for the full year).

 

[ffarl]

Rolane, we're getting that sorted. We discovered last night that they were visible to EVERYONE and are working on the solution. In order to preserve the sanctity of your contribution, we thought that temporarily depriving everyone was better than letting everyone see behind the curtain.

can only subscribers change their user title thing?

My member isn't that well known.

 

[ronlane]

ffarl, thanks. I figured that you guys were working on it and that the list is now longer than when you started the upgrade yesterday.

My username appears too long now and won't fit on one line. At least that's how it looks to me, not sure what everyone else sees. May be due to my screen resolution.


On the bright side I could just come up with a witty way of saying my well-known member is too long.

That backstory actually works quite well with your username!

I did click on Inbox and I can go to "Show All Conversations." The latest message on that list is the one that was sent to me yesterday at 7:57 a.m., but the newest message - the one that came to me on my phone but is not visible on the list - is from this morning at 8:37.

Is it possible that the sender deleted it? I'll check on our end too.

Hey, so did I!

Speaking of which, none of the videos in that thread are showing - only the ones snerd and I posted since The Change.

The videos should be working now.. If you find one that isn't, please let me know!

 

[limr]

Is that possible? Even if the sender deletes the "Sent" message from their account, can it be deleted from my Inbox, too?

I just checked and there's a second message from a different person I received on email - sent 1:40 am (EST - these are all EST for me...) but I don't see it in the Inbox here.

Cool!
