Forum Upgrade

[JDPower 0]

All my topic subscriptions are "Immediate Email Notification", I like it. But I'm getting an e-mail notification for every new reply on the topic I'm subscribed in (even when I didn't login and read the new reply from the previous message). You shouldn't notify me about every new reply in the topic, just the first one.

Before the update that never happened.

That's how it always worked for me before, I always got an email for every reply.

Ah Ha, I hadn't seen the new stuff in Profile re: changing User title (note to moderators/admins please be sure this is set for users with more than x posts so we can tell Newbies from Long-Timers at a glance (though I personally always look at/notice post count)

So how many posts do we need to change the 'User Title'? I cannot see that anywhere in my Profile or Settings.

+1 However this is the correct thing

This isn't the correct thing, I should receive the notification only for the first reply.

Why would I want to receive a new reply for every reply unread if I haven't read the first unread yet!? When I visit the topic for the first unread I'll see the others right down!

I didn't.

Look at the text I used to receive:

 

"Blahblah has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - *** - in the *** forum of *** Forums.

There may also be other replies, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again."

Yes that's how delayed works, just switch them to delayed and be done with it I think (perhaps) previous version Instant was running incorrectly.

I'll try.

Wow, things did change a lot when I was on a trip for about 10 days lol.

 

I appreciate it very very well

This always happens when there is something new, especially when you are so so used to the previous versions.

 

Agree with JDPower on the chunky. It can be improved a bit. I'm still happy with it overall.

To answer my own question: 501 posts are needed to change the 'Member Title - I just did it (couldn't do it with 500 only).

New forum layout is nice. Liked the old, smoother looking layout better, but this is nice. Have a question...it was possible before to see the local time for a member, and thereby get some idea of where in the world (s)he was. Now cannot find out how to do that. Am I missing something? Thanks.

I think, if a person does not put their location out for the public (which can be seen next to their post) then it would be the same thought process behind their local time; if they do make their location public, well then there is no reason to "get some idea of where in the world (s)he (is)".

Yep, I agree...actually had thought of that, but I am an inquisitive sort (for that read "nosey") , and I wish the forum masters had not thought of it.

Go to 'My Settings', and on the 'General Settings' tab you can set your time zone, in which forum times will be displayed. (I can see this post's time as "Posted Today, 01:40 PM", which is my local time. [Although I would much prefer to see it displayed as a real time, i.e. 13:40].)

 

This should have automatically been transferred from the old forum settings.

OK. Done. :-)
