We have new software & a new theme!

FWIW, I like the new format. Thanks for all of your effort.
 
can we get something like the file manager we had before? I often used images I uploaded throughout numerous threads.. now I have no way to open up a list of all the files Ive uploaded and attaching it to a new post.

Mike, I know you have a lot of other fires on your plate. But, while you're in there dabbling, is there anything that can be done to have the forum send an email notification for every reply to a subscribed thread - even if the user hasn't returned? The problem with the current set up is that, until you return to the thread, you receive no further updates - which means if you happen to miss that one notice, you'll never come back.

Unfortunately, that's the way it's built in the core software, I don't think I'll be able to adjust that.

Still working on it, it's taking a little more time than I thought it would.

Hey Mike. The site's looking and running great, thanks for all your hard work!

Regarding the email notifications above, I've used this add-on in the past and it's worked well, although from memory it can be a bit tedious to setup at first.

There's no need for this plugin, this is now built into the core of XF.

I tend to middle click to open links in new tabs. One annoyance I've noticed is from the alerts dropdown or https://ipcamtalk.com/account/alerts you have to be annoyingly precise with your middle clicks to open the link. Only part of the text is linked and there's practically no padding on the link. In the drop down there's a script that pads the link but it only works if you left click.

Will look into it, thanks for reporting.
 
I'd say that, having got used to the changes, it's all working really well. Great job @Mike
The response time is fast, much quicker than previously. Are you running it on faster hardware?
Outside your core hours, we have seen one outage, it looked DNS-related, but not sure.

I appreciate the body text back again in the email notification - for a big watchlist, that's pretty helpful.
I do have a question though :
Previously, there was a Prev thread / Next thread link at the bottom of each thread.
Without that, now I'm going back to the top and re-opening the subforum to see the thread list.
I presume there is a better / quicker way - what am I missing?
 
I miss the 'search this forum' widget that used to be on each forum's thread list page.
I see that option (to search posts in a specific forum only) in the general search page, but less convenient there...

Also, the new layout seems to take up more real estate on the screen, so i see less threads/posts on any given page.
Just seems sparser and requires more scrolling to see everything than before. Any workarounds/customizations available for that?

thanx
 
Oh, and is it just me or does the little camera icon look a lot like a pair of men's briefs?... :-)
 
When I click on a post, why does it take me to the last message posted instead of the first?

Actually, it takes me to the bottom of the page and most of what I see is a reply box and an advertisement. I then have to scroll or click the previous page.

That behavior is starting to get annoying. Is there a setting where I can change this. I looked, but didn't see it.
 
Appreciate the work Mike!
I did notice images don't seem to be displaying in at least one thread?

What happened to the thought of adding a scripting subforum when the software was upgraded?
 
I've noticed in the captures forum, liveleak auto embeds are going linking to
Code: 
//www.liveleak instead of http://www.
which breaks them

Thanks, I'll fix it.

Edit: Looks like it's a known issue with LiveLeak not embedding when using https. Unfortunately it's on their end so we have to wait for them to fix it.
