Xenforo Upgrade

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok guys who had an issue with the What's New feature (that we paid $35 for) to check it out now

With that I think I am done working on the site for today. Its been a long two days.

 

[KE4EST]

Works great now! Get some rest Scott!

Can I get rid of the sticky nav bar? Didn't have it yesterday,didn't have it this morning,now seem to be stuck with it.

 

[DWS44]

catching up on the day's changes...big thanks for the addition/update that allowed to set the number of posts per page back up to 50 again!

Okay, this is annoying, but typical of the new XenForo - How do I easily jump to the last post in a multipage thread? If I click on the Thread Title, it takes me to post #1. On other XenForo forums, I've learned that I can click on the timestamp on the far right of the thread box.

Foxbat,
I had the same issue the other day, but this morning when I clicked the title of the thread, it went to the last post ....
Your results may vary.

I'm still waiting for the dot to come back to click on to go to your last read post.

i have set the themes to dark, but the very top is still blue

I am still not 100% on the alerts on how it works in 2.1. However installed another alerts add on.

Looks like it is set for 5 minutes now, but is not showing a count down.

THis morning I'm still seeing the 60 second page refresh message.

 

[JR_Baas]

Is anyone else having a hard time knowing what threads contain new posts? It looks like the only indication is the font is bold. It would be nice to have a new flag on each thread like there is on the main forum pages.

I upgraded it last night with a MAJOR upgrade.. but Yes 60 seconds is the default, however click the down arrow and you can select the time. You can also press the stop button and it won't refresh at all (and it seems to remember those setting as well!)

I feel like the magic genie this morning. Hows this?

Well another $35 spent, but I am happy we have joinable usergroup back on SatelliteGuys.

This allows members to join group such as The Pit (if you are a Pub Member) and The Installer Zone (a forum just for installers)

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I am now working on the Dark Theme, so all the settings match the light theme.

Once I am done with that I am going to make Non Sticky Nav Bar styles for both styles.

Thanks Scott.

Scott, could we break out the Watched Threads and Watched Forums into two separate buttons instead of the drop down?

That was a bug, not a feature. Now that it has been quashed, you must await the non-sticky versions of the styles we have.

Full disclosure: I love the sticky nav bar. That said, I don't know where the Mark Forum Read item went...

I do not believe so, but I will check into it.

Got called into a meeting here at work, so taking a little time away because of that, but should be working on things again within a half hour or so.

Great work Scott! I was dreading the upgrade and loss of Multiview. So far things have gone smoothly and with What's New (unread posts) along with watch/notification settings I am easily viewing all the forum areas I used to. Thanks so much for all your time and effort!

 

[dare2be]

Scott, is there a way to have the New tag added to the threads on the watched list? Or have the old functionality of only unread watched threads show up?
