FlyerD901 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I find each post is hard to differentiate , they look as if its all one post from the top of the page to the bottom of the page, there's no borders around each post, or replies to a post. My 2000th post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roamer Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Is there any chance the older posts with quoted material will get updated to show where the quote came from? It's frustrating when reading older posts to not have a clear delineation as to what is being quoted and what is original material. It appears that when currently replying to a post by quoting it, it shows as a quote and what post you are quoting but all the older posts don't seem to show what post was quoted and the text just seems to run all together. It's frustrating to read older posts. edited to add: I'm partially incorrect on this. It seems that only some threads have this problem as I now see that there are some older threads that show quoted responses just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, older posts will be processed and updated to properly show quotes, links, formatting etc. It's just going to take a few days while the system goes through and processes all of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion 1200 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 So far, I do not like the options to view new content since last visit - on the previous board, it automatically showed you everything since your last visit; now it only seems to go back a few days and I have no idea how inclusive the list actually is. Hopefully this is just a glitch related to the board being new and not a permanent problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Bus Fan Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I have to say I like this new feature if you open another tab, go the same thread and try to post, the other tab posts comes to the post writing thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-717 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Is there a way to switch from mobile to desktop mode on your phone? I can't find that option anywhere. Also, it seems you can't browse other members' content like before (topics that they posted in, not necessarily that they started), you can only view unread content that you posted in, but if you select "by member" it gives "Authors: ", i.e. those who actually started the thread. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! 1: No, it's one page that scales to the size of device you're using. Functionality between different screen sizes should be nearly identical, but let me know if there's something in particular you're missing. 2: If you click See their activity in the upper right of a member's profile, does this display what you want? It may still be missing some content due to the upgrade, however, that should populate later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-717 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 1) Yes, that's what I see when I view the site on my phone. The same was true with the original version of the site, but there was also an option to view the desktop version on your phone. I was wondering if the same option exists for the new version. 2) This displays their recent activity, including every latest post they made, and things like "followed someone" and "liked someone's post". In the old website, you could click "Find content" and it would display a list of topics they've posted in, including any unread topics. Edit: another thing I've noticed is that it's no longer possible to view a member's friends list, including your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCL Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Is there an ability for a user to customize the board homepage by moving the right-hand column to the bottom?

Does clicking See their content and then selecting Posts or Topics in the left column (or under "Content Type" on mobile) give you what you want? Apologies in advance if I'm misunderstanding, it wasn't a feature I used frequently. If you mean the actual listing of every topic they've posted in (but not their actual post, or topics they've started), it doesn't look like that's available any longer. Unfortunately, friends were removed in the new software and replaced by the new follower system. 1 hour ago, JCL said: Is there an ability for a user to customize the board homepage by moving the right-hand column to the bottom?

noahrp24 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 When I quote someone and I realize its the wrong person, I cannot seem to clear the quote even if I highlight the entire box where the quote would be.

Meraki Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Is this new red theme the only one available? It burns the eyes. I don't know for the exact reasons, but the now gone light blue scheme was easier to look at, particularly at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Walton Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 From what I've seen so far, I like the drag-and-drop for adding pictures, I just used it to add a picture to my previous post in the MPM-10 thread in Quebec, which I tired to add earlier but couldn't. I miss the drop-down list at the top that let me jump straight from one forum to another; is there any way you can restore this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1604 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 We ran into an issue with upgrading posts so that their links/quotes/attachments would show correctly. However, the issue should now be resolved: within the next day or two, all posts should be formatted correctly.

Board Admin A. Wong Posted April 8, 2016 Board Admin Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I just wanted to shout out a huge thanks to Tallis (1604) for doing all the work for the forum and wiki software upgrades! Without his efforts we would not be on this new and improved software that we are using now. Many advancements have been made since the old software and we are now using the latest and greatest. It had been several years since the software was upgraded last, and Tallis has spent days of his time bringing us to where we are today. As he mentioned, we are on a new, faster server. For those IT savvy people out there, this server has SSD hard drives and this should help with page load times. While the posts are rebuilding, some system resources are being used up, but I have noticed an increase in speed for both the forum and the wiki in general. We hope that this is a welcome improvement for all CPTDB users. Thank you all for contributing to a community of enthusiasts that are passionate about their hobby. This community unites people interested in public transit from all across Canada, and we have built many relationships and compiled a lot of information through a collaborative effort. This is the purpose of the CPTDB and we thank you for your contributions. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
