New forum update feedback

Hi all.

Just an update that the various issues mentioned across the past few pages which might be bugs have been logged for investigation by our web team. Some other feedback is requests and preferences that we are taking note of, but may be beyond the ability to be changed in vBulletin.

A dark theme for the forums is still in progress, and coming along nicely from what I understand.

To the suggestions that there have been no communications or fixes since the forum update occurred, I recommend you review this thread and the various communications that have been posted. I know there is still room for improvement, but the critical issues that started with the update have been resolved. The rest I hope won’t be around for much longer.

Cheers

Come on… Why won’t you search for yourself? There are few posts describing fixes in the thread. It’s not like somebody isn’t saying truth here…
I decided to write this post because lot of people got a little hostile here against staff. It doesn’t help anybody.

I didn’t. You didn’t. And also a lot other people who complains on forum - still participating in discussions.
I don’t think your statement is valid. Unless… you’re able to show me stats showing less people spending less time on forums since upgrade - I’ll be first to say “sorry, franktech” and “Epic, hurry up” :wink:

Of course, it would be nice to have all the issues fixed. It takes ages. And still no official dark theme - meanwhile… I’m happy user f.lux. It’s weapon against all the white websites!

I’m assuming the udk forum was killed on purpose, why would anyone even use udk anymore?

So, why would they do that to a forum they want to keep alive? It all makes sense.

during this time with the Private Message issue I received 2 private messages, which I could only view because I opened directly from the notification. they are however still not in my Inbox, so even today I still can’t find them anymore
I know the messages are there though. I left one of those ‘lost’ PMs open in my phone browser and I can even use the same URL to open it again. it’s just not listed in my inbox

Hm, I tried to start a new topic in the wip section yesterday and while I can look at it just fine using the link in my subscriptions/history it doesnt show up looking at the topics list.
I didnt get a notification telling me its awaiting moderation or anything so Im not quite sure if this is intended behavior or a bug :confused:

Did they change the forum font or am I hallucinating?

my lost PMs are appearing in my inbox again :slight_smile:

Either the profile page is bugged or I’ve lost all my posts and badges.

For me, the biggest (and should be the easiest to fix ) flaw is the almost unseen text when typing in post like this one

Normally I’m writing project updates by editing first post of the thread. This is what I get now:

Maybe there is some incompatibility with the new forum engine - MMT thread is few years old.

I recently see this error a lot, for example while i’m trying to change pages, or uploading photos in my posts (This is not working totally), or sometimes when i try to post something…
