All the threads I'm alerted to take me to the last read post. I'm sometimes not getting alerts to things I just read, but I see them in new posts, at least, so I click.

There is an area for Push and email in your settings how you want to be alerted.

I miss seeing the page numbers on top of threads. Truthfully, I thought the old layout was fine. I'm not digging the new forum look much. I'll still hang out and post here but I'm not really used to this whole new lay out. It's only been a short time and I might just need to adjust and learn the new features and all that. I'm not trying to be Debbie downer so please to take this post the wrong way. I really do appreciate all the work you guys put into making this the best vaping forum out there.

Also, the pinned threads used to have a different look than all the rest below. That was better too. I was just in the DIY section and all the pinned threads have a little tack symbol but look like all the rest.

1. Posts in "Mechanical pics!" and "The Official [HASH=207]#HandCheck[/HASH] Thread" don't appear in "New posts".
2. The "Attach files" button in the bottom left corner of the reply box is missing, here in this thread and some other threads like, e.g., "New Dark Mode for VU", and also all the buttons except "Toggle BB code" at the top are disabled.

OK... I just figured out that there's a filter in "New posts" that shows only unread posts by default so scratch that one. But I can't edit my posts here in this thread... there's no edit feature.

Anytime there's a change like this, it's difficult at first. We use tools like this forum so much, for so long, that it becomes second nature. It's like driving - you just do what needs to be done, and you don't have to think about it much.

Even in just these few days I am already finding the new layout more comfortable to navigate than it was at first. Comfort level increases with time and use, the adjustment to the new gets made slowly.

I agree with you about the stickied threads. It would be good if it was more obvious where the non-stickied threads begin. Maybe they'll be able to get to that soon, after some of the more critical issues are addressed.

Everyone, please just be patient with yourselves. Navigation will get easier with a little time. Truly it will.

I had an opportunity to start adjusting to the layout at DWF, but even here, it took a bit of adjusting. As I sit here now, I'm really loving it. I've had to search for a few things, but once I found those and figured them out, I'm really loving it.

Things are still being tweaked, behind the scenes they're working like mad, believe me. Many of the little things that feel like big things are also being addressed and looked into. I agree with @nadalama, patience will pay off.

It's like moving into a new house and figuring out which cabinet to put the coffee cups and drawer for the silverware.

That's always been the case with "admin" type threads.

As it turns out the buttons being disabled at the top of the reply box was because I had turned on BB code, not realizing it stays on even after posting or going to a different thread.

Some gifs won't post, I can't figure out why.

For instance, this one does...

but this one doesn't.
I can see this gif fine before posting but it just turns into an error icon after I post it.

In the post linked above, I posted a link to another post to show Mr. Meowgi a picture that was part of a mix mini-challenge in the Daily Mixing Thread. The link goes to the right post, but the text in the box that is shown on the screen is from a completely different post. Weird.

And now you can see that it's happened again in THIS post. Inside the box above it quotes a post by Rob B. talking about Rhianne's post count. But if you click on that box to go to the post I quoted, it's a post by me responding to Mr. Meowgi's question about my mix, Pebblesicle.

First of all I want to say thanks for all of your hard work on the forum lately.
Having feedback returned is awesome!

This may be a one time deal but I just received a feedback notice and where it says, "Click the link below to view it:" there is no link to click on.

I noticed it too. Instead of a link in the post itself, I had to figure out the only way to do it was to look to the left and use the "Add Feedback" under the user's stats.

BTW Joe, @Huckleberried gave me an idea from the vape mail thread. Got any VU vape bands and bumper stickers left? Perhaps offer them to the Patreon donators?

When I check alerts no links appear. I have to navigate to the post. I also don't get most of my alerts. I checked preferences and all are checked.

Am I missing something? I wanted to edit my post and can't figure out what to click to edit.

On the new alerts you need to hover over where it says "your post" or the thread title.

Yes you did. You told inganeer that his new Dead Rabbit SE needed a VU vape band. ?

I'm not getting many of my watched threads either. Particularly the vape mail thread. Yesterday it said 'watch' and there was no way to uncheck it. When I hover over the check mark, at the top of the thread it asks me how many items to choose for moderation. If I uncheck it I get a pop-up screen at the bottom. I have no option to check/uncheck it. Pics below.

Yay! There is now a 'Edit" link at the bottom. ? Before it said 'moderate' I think.

Now I can't find the 'upload image' button. I had to host these photos and use the image link above.

We can't catch everything, and certain things will only work when we actually turn on the server for everyone to use. We are bound to have issues and bugs. This may take a week to get all the kinks worked out. Work with us and let us know what you find. Screenshots help :)

Post Alerts are all over the place.

I'll get a post alert of a new post in threads I'm watching. When I click on the link it lands me to the actual post, but immediately bounces me around 3 times and lands me at a post I've already seen. Like one from Sunday.

Also, this morning it kept landing me at the same post after bouncing over and over again. I hope that makes sense. It isn't sub-forum specific.

Just to let you know, it's been happening only in the last 3-4 days. Hope that gives you a timeline.

There is an issue with banner overlay on the main screen. I get it when I refresh or duplicate a tab/window in VU. Occasionally. My system and gpu are up to day and cache cleaned often.

That I know but a thread I posted in recently I won't get an email for. Sometimes the Bell at the top right will be Red with a number and other times not.

One other thing is when you paste a GIF that is animated it doesn't animate like it used to by just cut and pasting.

I take the screenshot and upload it to imgbb, then copy the BBCode Full Linked and paste it here. I do that with most of my images and gifs. It's free.


Just taking a Screen Shot and Pasting it is all I need to do on the rest of the forum. In Joe's threads they have never worked.
