Software Feedback Thread

It is $75 now for lifetime. I don't know if that is my lifetime or the lifetime of the forum.

I hoped it would be my lifetime, so i could get a rebate when the forum closed. Wishful thinking of course.

I don't know if they still do the offer every so often. But $75 is only 3 years subscription anyway.

But the s it worth it to you?

Too funny. I believe I posted a screemshot of the current offerings for various memberships.

All one needs to do is go to upgrade my account to see these differing options.

My biggest concern overall is that it is not made clear in any way, where new threads are posted.

I don't care for swimming thru a bunch of repeats or old **** in order to find a new and compelling idea to read and possibly respond to.

The current set up is not doing that. But hey, I still love the people who try to make our existence better.

I've heard they are trying to program a new threads page . Hopefully we'll see it soon but I'm not holding my breath.

I'd also like to be able to change the theme. I changed to the xenforo theme to solve almost invisible text problems. It seems rather than fix the colour scheme they have simply removed the option to change.

I've also noticed there are no more "featured threads" like there used to be.

Also threads with pictures before the switch, no longer have pictures that can be accessed.

Not true.

They're all featured. We just got rid of the little icon that denoted them.

I see. Used to be only some were featured.

Thanks.

You have a better source for rumors than I do. There have been no calls on my rumor hotline.

Is there a way to quickly see a list of the most recently created threads? One can easily find the most recent post or activity, but what about new threads? I tried to use the search function, but it requires I enter keyword terms and not just search a date range for everything.

Any pro's out there who have solved this?

We're working on this.

On the phone at least, if you click Forum the blue bar will open up and down it you will see “unanswered threads” but this will only be very recent threads that have zero replies

Excellent!

I shall wait patiently for it to arrive.

I did find that, but as you indicate, once someone answers, it will leave that listing. In the past it seemed like most every new thread would get some comment. I was saddened to see on that list some posts that have quickly been orphaned without any response.

Perhaps there were just as many unanswered threads in the past, I just didn't have a way of quickly seeing them as we do now.

Do you have any sense if there will be a few things fixed at a time or one humongous update?

No idea @sunrise.

But since almost all of what needs to be worked on is more along the lines of fine-tuning than a complete overhaul (that part's already been done) I would guess we should expect to see things getting fixed one at a time.

 

[SalixIncendium]

Do you have any sense...?

I've been told no.

Mostly nonsense.

That's strange

I found the bug.
The double spoiler occurs when there is a hyperlink in the selection... at least at the beginning.
The spoiler then spits in two.

Spoiler: test

Let me see, if it works this time. Here is a link to a random post

Spoiler: another test

a link to a random post. The one above did not work.

Spoiler: again

Maybe it has to be an off site link

Spoiler: again

. Let me see what happens here.

Ah. There it is. For a moment there, I thought RF had fixed it.

 

[Revoltingest]

Things seem to be slowing down.
Is it XenForo or my system?

I haven't noticed any considerable slowdown, but sometimes pages take several seconds to process a submitted post and result in duplicate posts if I press "Post reply" a second time.

Same here... Oftentimes.

A couple of times, I posted something, and it would hang while processing the post. While this was going on in one tab, I opened up another tab, opened the main RF page, and saw that my post had posted, yet still hanging in the other tab.
