Announcement Welcome to the RPF's Forum Upgrade Support Thread

[Art Andrews]

I understand that mobile is the future (if not already the present), please don't forget those of us that are using desktop and laptops - the site might be amazing on mobile now, but it's definitely not an easy read on my desktop.

#youcan'tpleaseeveryone

See what you think of it now.

This is my inbox. No out box or sent. All messages sperate conversations .

 

[vader45]

My post likes are also missing too.

 

[Art Andrews]

Got it. The new system uses a threaded view for conversations (previously PMs). There is no sent folder because if you interact with someone, it will all be captured in one conversation thread. We did import your old PMs, but there is no way to automatically thread them. That will only happen with conversations moving forward.

Premium membership sorted, thanks Art Andrews for the PM.

So can I get my message count back to where it was? I know, minor issue so no worries if not.

Actually, now that I think about it I doubt it was much over the 1k mark. Carry on good sir, ignore me.

The current post count is an accurate count of the posts you have on the site. A LOT of us lost postcounts in the move because the previous software did a terrible job of keeping track and when the recount was done...

Is there anything that can be done to fix old links to specific comments? I have a bunch of currently broken links

At the moment they don't seem to work unless the comment is on page 1, and even then you need to manually add a dash in the url to make it work.

Here is one link I have as an example:

http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=253252&p=3869972&viewfull=1#post3869972

It redirects to:

https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/esb-tfa-lightsaber.253252/#post3869972

That link doesn't go to the specific comment, but it does if I add a dash before the post number:

https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/esb-tfa-lightsaber.253252/#post-3869972

The problem is links have the page number in them before the post number, but old links don't get that added to them. A lot of my links go to the 139 page long TFA Graflex Research thread, so it's a bit hard to go find it all again

Title this issue should now be resolved.

I'm now getting a 3 different varieties of "ADblocker" warnings. Everything from a top bar, to a popup small block of text or a complete overlay of the site which requires me to reload the page to get it to go away. The two pop up ones almost make the site unusable.

1. I'm at work and cannot disable the adblock.
2. I'm a premium member so shouldn't get getting ads anyway.

I was going to add some pictures to show what I'm talking about but it seems the option to load a file from my computer is not available anymore. It will only let me link from an outside URL. Just FYI.

Great job Art. Soo much faster than the old site. Must have been a ton of work. Just checked some of my own threads for any quirks and found some garbling. See this post for what I mean. No biggy as I can probably re edit and clean things up, but highlighting it just in case.

vectorzero this formatting issue should now be resolved. Not that ALL formatting has been corrected, but at least the one you pointed out has.

Copy that. I thought I was over 1k... my bad. Mind you if I keep this conversation up I'll be there before bed!

Again just want to say a huge thanks Art Andrews to you and the RPF team. We can only imagine how much this process has consumed your lives. Well done! Can't wait to have a play with the mobile site. And looking forward to the future mobile-friendly additions... can we say APP?!

I had the same issue but didn't want to bother Art about that, you can just whitelist the rpf and it goes away

 

[Art Andrews]

Upped posts per page to 50. Not sure we will keep it there, but this way you have fewer pages.
