  • I have updated the search function on the front page so it should now show the threads last updated on the main forums, the ordering was set differently to the others

    • With the forum styling being updated and the default style not being perfect would members prefer:
      1. The current dark style which has some issues until we fix them
      2. Blue Green which has a lighter background on threads
      3. Black Red which has a lighter background on threads and the main site

      • nah, green is more for the Prius forum
        I'll manage with the current dark style

        • All, we will be changing the default forum style to "black red" later this week as the dark style still requires many changes to get it working effectively. The default style has colours that are quite bright by comparison. For those that prefer the darker style this can be selected as your preference at the bottom left of the site.

            • I think its more that your phone keyboard is taking up more than 50% of your screen

                    There is an outstanding issue with vbulletin on this very problem. I think its a caching problem. It will show in the search results, but not necessarily first at present.

                    • All, I have updated the default style for the site to Blue Green Dark. This is a mildly tweaed version of the default Blue Green style that darkens the background of threads a bit to take the glare off the bright white. Constructive feedback is welcome. Unfortunately building a dark theme just like we had before is much of challenging on this version due to all the hard coded styles all over the place. I am hoping that with some more changes like this we can make the site a bit more appealing.

                      • I don't know if you have noticed these issues, but I say them here:

                        - Private message search doesn't find messages that are older than the forum update
                        - When searching for my own started topics from My profile -> About -> Find all started topics, the results are in mixed order, you have to click ascending and then descending to get them in order from the newest to oldest.
                        - Forum index side doesn't show if there are new posts in some area. Old forum had the red thingy that showed if there was new posts.
                        - Basic search result outfit is really complicated, not clear at all, would be better if it shows the thread name only. Then you can do a search in that specific thread.
                        - Search in threads doesn't work
                        - Still not all posts are visible on the forum main side, for example project area messages doesn't show up
                        - "Whats going on" info would be nice to have on the forum index side. Would be better if it showes the nick name not the avatar, as all doesn't have avatar.

                        • Thuppu, I was talking to Andy abotu this today and he is going to look at the minor version upgrade this weekend. For the search parts we will need to update the indexes to get them working I think.

                          I will see if the whats going on info can be changed easily

                          • Images gone wrong in tapatalk.
                            Ok, i can read json, but it's still unusable to 90% of users.

                            • That is a bit of a weird quirk and bad implemenation between tapatalk and VBulletin. TBH we are considering moving to Xenforo as VBbulletin is just a bit crap these days

                              • Quite strange that it converts the IMG tags like that..? I have put the images with basic tags: [IMG]xxx[/IMG]

                                Because if the stupidity of this forum software I always have to write the message and add pics on our finnish forum, and then copy everything here. With mobile it's just a pain to add more than one pic. It really shouldn't be so.
