AW127 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Äääääh, not sure if it's a problem with my computer or if it's a thing depending on the forum update. I saw in some of my older entries, that alot of my posted pictures can not be seen anymore and that file-attachements which i posted, like for example the "202 PAL60 ROM" compilation in the PAL60 thread are gone. I dont see these attachements anymore. Also in "content i posted in" i can only see entries from the last days, all my older entries i can not see there anymore. Strange. Or is the update-process not completed at the moment, i have not read the whole thread here today, therefore i am asking?

Answer: 19 hours ago, Albert said: All missing post content (images, attachments, quote boxes, etc.) will return as post content is rebuilt. Not sure how long exactly this is going to take. I filed a support ticket with Invision last night to ask them to investigate speeding this up, as it's taking longer than it should. But it will all be back once the process is complete. I know it's annoying right now, and trust me, it's probably more annoying for me than anyone else! ..Al There is also a Questions and Answers forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Yes, the background tasks are still running, but they are going much faster now. Overall it'll take a bit longer than I initially thought since the first three days it was barely moving along at all. But Invision fixes the issue, thankfully. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes loading and browsing threads with such pictures slower with much more scrolling involved. Will this stay as it is now? I can adjust these, I have to go look at the settings on the old forum and change the new forum to the same thumbnail sizes. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did the same thing here, too: https://atariage.com/forums/blogs/entry/14686-421-minutes/ – just showing one of them. Limitation? Bug? Feature? Glad you're seeing your Blog entries getting rebuilt. When it's all said and done, if there are still issues I can help you manually rebuild anything that's still not quite right. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Whoot, posts are finally being rebuilt.. And there are MANY more tasks after what's shown here (the list is fairly long). But the "Rebuilding Posts" task will take the longest, since it has to churn through over 4 million posts. Most of the other tasks will go quickly. I believe posts are processed in reverse chronological order, so anything recent will be processed first. ..Al 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Are the blog categories coming back? That's what I'd used to organize my blog entries, and now links like this for my Collect Tutorial don't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 There is no categories functionality built into the Blogs application at the moment. However, Invision is going to add them in, as there was a recent discussion on their forum and this was the top request from members.. I believe I used a third-party modification to add categories to blogs in the past, and I had completely forgotten about that. I'll see if it's been migrated to this version of the software. ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I really do love the new updates to the site. I always love change when it's for the better. The dark theme is perfect too for these older eyes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything in settings about preventing animated profile photos. But they may not have been rebuilt yet, so I have to wait until those background tasks are complete and if they are still not animated, I can then take a look into what's going on. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 By no means should this be a high priority if the answer is no, but are likes on older posts going to be migrated to the new reactions? Ultimately it doesn't really matter, but scrolling through older posts suddenly seems a lot less "friendly". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sixersfan105 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Quick comment on likes. Is there any way for the icon specifically for the "like" reaction to be changed from the current heart icon to, say, a thumbs up? It's great to have access to a full slate of emojis for use within our posts, and I like the additional reactions available (like, thanks, haha, confused, sad) but a thumbs up seems more appropriate than a heart, no? I never liked Instagram's heart icon for "likes" either. Ok, I'm going to stop saying like now... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
