I'll see if I can find an answer. Currently, they haven't, either in the forums or blogs. Oddly enough, reputation points (which were based on "likes") have made it over, but I can't find anyway to view those posts in my profile. Hoping they do make it though - that's part of the history of the forum, albeit a trivial one. Sorry for the awkward quoting above. I can't figure out how to do nested quotes, so this will have to do for now. (I'm used to editing bbcode to make posts do what I wanted.) I'm very curious to see what happens to the blogs after the processing is done. They're unreadable at the moment. Invision broke them badly years ago, so I can't say I have great confidence in them. Al, yes. Invision, no. Once the dust settles, a read-only 'how-to' guide would be nice for answering common questions about functionality that has changed or moved. This thread is getting a bit much to read through to pull out the relevant bits. (I'm mainly posting here in the hopes the forum will remember that I've viewed this topic, and will stop dumping me to the first post whenever I click the link to it.) Hope you're getting some sleep Al - hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 I see what you mean, thanks for the screenshots, those were helpful. Not sure how easy it would be to modify the default streams, but that's something I can look into. I agree that it's much more useful to have it go to the first unread post. Not sure why they didn't make that the default, but I can say I've seen this debated repeatedly on the Invision forums over the years. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today will be a long day. The store is completely broken so I have to fix that before I really do anything else. Then I have to trawl through this thread and write down all the problems and suggestions people have, as I don't want to miss anything. I'm also working on a large number of orders in the store, so I have to try and balance my time between that and working on the forum. Once I get this batch of orders out, I can spend full-time working on further improving the forum and configuring other features like the Downloads module. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The icon all the way on the right of the editor toolbar lets you see a preview of your post in desktop, tablet and phone sizes. As for status updates, yes, when you click to view a reply it jumps into the person's profile, where you can then view replies and reply as well. Not as convenient as before. I'm going to look to see if any third parties have improved on this at all, but I'm guessing not. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if anyone has run into it besides me. And something else that's a minor inconvenience that I also filed a ticket for. Don't expect any action on those before tomorrow. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 The search index hasn't been built yet, so this isn't going to work properly until that's been completed. It'll be several days, as all the other forum content has to be rebuilt first (posts, gallery, blogs, status updates, etc.) before the search index can be built. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntelliRat Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 AS usual with these kind of downgrades, it literally doesn't even connect anymore on anything other than my PC, just says it's not able to complete secure connection. Worked perfectly for years before on every device I had, never any issues, now I can only access on my PC and it's slow and has far too much clutter, clicking anywhere does a "thing", clicked next to a quoted text and it all disappeared, didn't even click on anything, it was just "close enough", I guess. Such a shame. But I know, as always, I'll be in extreme minority about this, and the old version will not come back (they sadly never do, anywhere, this has been the trend for all places everywhere online for the last 15 odd years, so many places simply kick you out after years of being a member, then they always wonder why they get less users and have to close down for lack of visitors and revenue etc... gee, I wonder why~) so I'm glad I didn't get enough time as a member here to become that active yet, as the relatively new member that I am on here, so that way there was less of a loss, I guess.. definitely glad I didn't have any time to make friends, would've sucked to lose them all already, cuz I am not going to go on my PC just do browse here, I only go on here to pay bills and stuff like once a month, on average. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy, you're such a beacon of happiness, did you get out of the bed on the wrong side today? This sounds more like an issue with your end than with the forum. I have not had anyone tell me they haven't been able to connect to the forum or that it's been slow. It's 2019, most sites are going to full-time HTTPS, which isn't a bad thing. And mobile support is much better in this version than it was with the old. What kind of phone are you using? Nobody is kicking you out. The old forum software was over four years old, had various problems and was no longer supported. That means no more security patches, no more updates to support changing APIs with third-parties, no full-time HTTPS support which was being pointed out loudly by modern web browsers, would not work with modern versions of PHP and MySQL, and various other issues. So, no, it will not be coming back, and I should have migrated to this version long before it actually happened. ..Al 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
