What has happened to the forum????

[Netserk]

That got me curious. What are your biggest issues?

Ten URLs is an improvement, but what is tge maximum amount the forum provider actually go up will go up to. For example it may be 20 or 40. The Race Design Thread libraries would need a lot more than ten if Libertine will do it this way now we know that a single post view is being tinkered with.

Also what is a "postid".

 

[Dear Wiggo]

postid is the unique identifier for an individual post.

Thanks.

Imo getting old links to redirect to the new post/thread url would be really great.

Would that be:
Impossible?
Difficult?
Manageable?

Re:

who could have guessed that banning all the good posters while letting bots troll and downgrading the forum to something from the 90s would make the forum look like a ghost town?

I think you are the only person who would leave to protest Hog's ban, and as the above post proves, you are actually still here.

 

[Gigs_98]

am I to stupid for the "search" function or is it really broken

why not just unlimited URLs - I doubt anyone will put 5000 URLs in a post

Threads should redirect as they have the same ID's

Post's not sure would have to look but that seem like it will not be possible

Yeah threads redirect, but not with the page.

http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?t=27882&page=2 redirects to http://forum.cyclingnews.com/viewtopic.php?t=27882 as an example. Imo this is good as it is and doesn't need to change.

Now I don't know anything about the technical aspect of it, but wouldn't you still have all the old postIDs? I would really, really wish it'd somehow be possible to get them to redirect to the new urls.

Cheers.

1. Redirects updated to allow page redirection
2. We don't have a way of "converting them" from Old >> New

Sam, your help is much appreciated. I hope you can solve some of the issues that is troubling those users who have been around here much longer than I have been.

Pete, get well quickly, not good to hear you are sick. Your help will also be appreciated when you can get into work.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Arrgggg... annoys me more & more

How TF do I pm when I dont know the full name? For example I search myself as "Foxxy"; the search shows... Z.I.L.C.H. What a improvement this new forum is. Thank you sooo much. Man I am pissed. Really...

 

[mewmewmew13]

So as suspected all old friends and lists are nuked.

also, when I visit a thread it takes me to the top instead of to last post..this has probably been mentioned a few times upthread but it takes so long to navigate I'm not going to look.

and in between clicking on new posts then I have to go back to index before I can click on new posts again..
not a real hardship but things just don't go smoothly anymore.

 

[Amsterhammer]

I kept seeing all kinds of people with signatures, which led me to wonder why mine had disappeared, even though it was there according to my profile. So, I have now edited it with an exclamation mark, and wait with baited breath to see what happens after I press submit.....

...and bingo, no signature. Any ideas why my sig won't post?

Just click on the number of posts on the thread you wanna go... brings you directly to the last post. That´s nice. 1 step forward, after having been nuked 2 million steps backwards into stone age.

Go to Edit profile. Then Board Prefrences. click on Edit display options. Its somewhere in that place.

 

[Pete]

Amsterhammer, I just checked your preferences and you have still got "Attach my signature by default" set to "No".

If you click the "Edit Profile" link under the navigation / banner ad when logged in, go to the "Board Preferences" tab, and then choose "Edit posting options" on the left.

See below.

 

[Amsterhammer]

Thank you Pete and LCC. Fingers crossed....

Is there a way to make it so links open up in another tab instead of taking over the current tab I have open?

Re:

Right click link, open in new tab.

or

Place mouse above link, click middle (scroll) mouse button.

But that is so hard.
Yes I can do that, but the old feature was kinda nice. I'm not a tech dude, but it seems like that is something they could change??

Re:

Links within posts (other than the reply buttons) already do that for me. I'm afraid I am not aware of what settings I have to make that so.

 

[Pete]

Links included in posts using the [ url ] tags will open in another tab / window, though this may not be the case for posts made before (or very soon after) we changed forum platforms.

Here is a post from the Wiggins thread. This link doesn't open in a different tap for me.

Wiggins chose the date and the location for the Hour Record attempt:London's 2012 Olympic velodrome, Lee Valley VeloPark on June 7
