Management Hawker Posted September 16, 2009 Management Report Posted September 16, 2009 Hey guys, I'm going ahead with the upgrade now, so we'll be off for a while. You can follow our progress on: http://twitter.com/neighboursfans And on: http://community.livejournal.com/nf_com_updates/ See you soon. Quote
Mrs Clog Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Just on my lunch break. It's looking very different, but I like it! Looks easy to navigate, too. Woo hoo It's got Chloe's seal of approval! Quote
*Sarah* Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Wow, thanks Sal, I shall be off exploring! Quote
Lesley. Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Love the upgrade, it looks great well done. Quote
Guest MDD22 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 I've not looked around the whole place yet, but what I've seen so far looks great. Quote
SilentEyes Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Looks great to me! Thanks for all your hard work! Quote
BudgieJane Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) I like it. Pardon me for my stupidity, but how do I go to the first item that I haven't read in a thread? ETA: What has happened to episode ratings? Ep 5777 has had 4 ratings, but there are no stars for the ep. in the Australian Episode Discussion listing, whereas other episodes do show stars there.

Management Hawker Posted September 17, 2009 Author Management Report Posted September 17, 2009 I don't think it loads that way in View New Content (when a few more people post, I'll test it out and let you know) but in the forum view, there'll be a green box just to the left of the thread title. If you hit that, it should take you to your first unread post within that thread. However, you might have to mark the board as read now to refresh your topic markers (it's been quite an intensive upgrade, and I don't think they'll have been preserved) before it'll function properly.

Management Bagpuss Posted September 17, 2009 Management Report Posted September 17, 2009 It's the green button highlighed in the red oval in the screen-shot below... but I think you'll find that the software sees all threads as new so it won't work until you clear a forum. ETA: Sal got there first! Quote
Management Hawker Posted September 17, 2009 Author Management Report Posted September 17, 2009 ETA: What has happened to episode ratings? Ep 5777 has had 4 ratings, but there are no stars for the ep. in the Australian Episode Discussion listing, whereas other episodes do show stars there. There's a threshold now for the votes - so if only a couple of people vote, the rating doesn't display. When enough people have voted, the rating is shown. Quote
Management Hawker Posted September 17, 2009 Author Management Report Posted September 17, 2009 Janet explained that far better than I did by illustrating it! Quote
Management Hawker Posted September 17, 2009 Author Management Report Posted September 17, 2009 Just to add, if you're using the View New Content feature, once your topic markers have been refreshed, it will take you to the first unread post in the thread if you click on the main title of the thread (rather than page 27 or something).

~ Jen ~ Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 I was just coming in to ask that! It all looks very swish and nice, Sal, well done on all the hard work. Now. To stay and play or go and work with a bottle of wine... (also loving that Fact Reply has the formatting features!) Quote
mango Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Oooh, so pretty. So sleek. Thanks for all the hard work! Quote
Management Hawker Posted September 17, 2009 Author Management Report Posted September 17, 2009 Thanks for all of the comments, guys - much appreciated. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask...the forum structure and posts have been pretty well preserved, so it masks some of the changes that have gone on - but we've had a substantial overhaul so it's understandable if you're wondering where something is, or if a feature still exists. I've been playing all day and I'm still finding things! Quote
~ Jen ~ Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Quick question : is there a hack or option on this version that can tell you how many new posts there are? It just used to save time if you logged in, saw it was at 0, or when at some low number to scan the board and find out the forums. Quote
Management Hawker Posted September 17, 2009 Author Management Report Posted September 17, 2009 Afraid not. I do agree with you - I was forever using it....but it's too resource intensive. If you're using Opera, you can set the View New Content page to auto re-load every x second(s), minute(s) etc, but I don't know if it's something we'll get reinstated within the board itself. But I know where you're coming from. I used it a lot. Quote
~ Jen ~ Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 All good things...! Thought it was worth asking anyways. Quote
