New forum update feedback

We have recently observed some unexpected behavior with private messaging and have discussed with vBulletin. We are currently waiting on a fix from them in their next update.

From my experience, you are able to view and reply to messages while they are in the “Inbox Preview” by clicking on the title of the message. However you need to reply immediately, because if you leave and come back the message cannot be located again. Additionally, sent messages don’t appear in your “Sent Messages” folder, although they are delivered.

Yes, it works. Thank you.

Still no updates/information about the most requested stuff that I read on this topic -> dark theme and removal of the 40% white space? :expressionless:

I cannot sign out anymore. It keeps me signed in. I’ve tried multiple browsers and once i’m logged in i can’t log out…???
I also still have multiple forums that cannot be accessed, most of them just loop a redirect page going nowhere.
Forums are increasingly becoming more and more broken. I don’t get how anyone can even use it.

Also where the heck can i edit my signature? It seems to be missing from profile stuff.

Here:


Someone sent me a PM, I sent a reply but they never got it. It isn’t even showing in my sent box. When are you guys going to fix these issues with this forum? It’s unusable in so many ways.

[USER=“9”] Ellis[/USER] There’s a bug that prevents from changing the #tags on the topic. Not possible for topic starter and for moderators.

It also would be nice to have setting for the date/time stamps. I’m really uncomfortable with US ones.

A good deal of time passed, but I still can’t shake off the feel of repulsiveness of the new forum.

Hi all.

The issues with the Private Message system should now be resolved.

  • Sent messages will now appear in the “Sent Items” list
  • When you receive a new message, it properly appears in your “Inbox” and remains there even after the first viewing.

Let us know if you are aware of other issues.

‘Save’ word still appears when editing first post messages. The only workaround is to switch to source mode, delete it and save. Also, some other issues related to editing first posts. Like warning popups, unability to change tags…
And, seems recently sent PM messages gone for me. Nothing new in “Sent”.

The forum is ugly, the noise pattern background causes migraines. Badges are blurry and unprofessional looking. I still get messages saying I am not authorized to view certain threads, including threads I started. Sometimes I get a red flag next to messages, but when I go to check nothing is in there. Its really horrible in general.

Maybe you could stop investing more and more time fixing up this forum, throw it all out, and start over with XF 2?

Im trying to edit my tread Alvaro Abreu - C++ Programmer / Game Designer, Counseling - Looking For Work? - Unreal Engine Forums

And whatever i hit Save it just shows me Sorry you are not authorized to view this page… Cant save any changes…

Hi SaxonRah.

I just experienced something similar, although it only occurred on one browser. I was unable to log out of an account on the forums on Chrome. But I was able to resolve it by going into my Chrome Advanced Settings > Cookie options, and deleting the cookies for the UE Forums. That reset everything and allowed me to log out. I suggest you try that as well for each affected browser.

Hmmm, how did you even @mention them? Anytime I try @name it doesn’t do what it should do… I do notice by replying to this… Everyone has a “User Number” attached to them?!

Is must be the n****** after the person’s name in QUOTE. Meh. Why so hard.

Nope. Such fail. lol

I can’t believe I have to ask, but can someone make a Tutorial for using the new forums?! LOL. We need a transition guide! ROFL. Get it pinned somewhere.

At this point I think another company made the new forum, they just left and said their job is done, now is the only guy left and has to clean up all the mess. I do have zero knowledge about making a forum, but as a user, this is how I feel.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I see the number now… thanks!

It kinda seems that way, doesn’t it?
