Re: I don't like the new structure of the forum.
I just got here a few days ago and I started clicking the "thank this person for their post" thing. And now it is gone.

YES!!!!!!!!!!! :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:pollibird wrote:I miss the iddy biddy little box for the last posting in each thread.
It is on the front page where all the discussion topics are listed, but when you go for instance to"gospel discussions", those little boxes are not there.
Could you put those in please. I used them all the time.

Re: I don't like the new structure of the forum.
What I don't like is there is now less info and options.
No place to thank others. You have to open each forum to see what is going on in each where you used to be able to see the top or newest disscutions. Befor even going into gosple discussions or general and so on.

That stuff hasn't changed. (unless maybe you're viewing it on a phone?)Ezra wrote:..You have to open each forum to see what is going on in each where you used to be able to see the top or newest disscutions. Befor even going into gosple discussions or general and so on.

Re: I don't like the new structure of the forum.
Yeah I liked seeing how many people viewed a thread, how many posts there are on that thread and who posted last. I'm on my phone and I can't see it. Other than that I like it

Re: I don't like the new structure of the forum.
On a desktop, everything works fine for me, same as before, except I have to say, I love the new quick reply box on each thread. I do want the thank button back too of course, so I'm happy that will return.

Re: I don't like the new structure of the forum.
I think the new structure is just fine... just takes a little geting-used-to IMO.
I think BrianM and the mods generally do a good job, especially the last couple of days!
I thank them for that.

Re: I don't like the new structure of the forum.
Thank you, Brian, for keeping this place free to enjoy. If I may make a couple suggestions, though they're not too terribly important, and if nobody objects. Can you make the quote boxes white again? I'm not sure what color the new quote boxes are, but they're not very friendly for highlighting/emphasizing text in colors, especially red. If nobody objects, make links open up in a new page again instead of the same page as they do now. Thanks.

Are you talking about external links (links that link outside of LDSFF) opening up in a new page/tab? (test: http://www.latterdayconservative.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; )

Re: I don't like the new structure of the forum.
In retrospect, I'm not certain anymore what color the quote boxes were, LOL. As for the external links, yup! That link opened in a new tab!

I changed the quote boxes to exactly what they were before the new updates.

Re: I don't like the new structure of the forum.
If you're making a suggestion it would help to indicate whether or not you view the forum on a desktop/laptop computer, tablet or phone.. A lot of the main differences with the new setup are applicable to phones.. and might not ever change back to how it was. The change overall makes it much easier to browse on a phone.

Re: Forum Software Updated (2015-02-28)
Good grief! Thanks for saying this. I thought I was going nuts when it said all of those were new/unread posts, yet not only had I read them, I was reading posts I had made! @-)marc wrote:Topics merged.
